kam's apps: meatballs

12/22/2020

Meatballs.
The perfect form of ground meat that we (meat-eaters) all love to consume.
It is a staple at every baby shower, first birthday party, and simple holiday event. This recipe is going to give meatballs a different lift. Yeah, it is easier to get the big bag from the freezer section but this recipe is going to make you want to buy packs of disposable gloves as you would roll these away. Meatball flavoring can easily change for whichever mood you’re feeling but this is my staple.

Wa yuh need:

1lb Ground turkey (85% lean 15% fat)
1lb Ground beef (85% lean 15% fat)
1 egg beaten
Sofrito (finely chopped peppers, onions, and garlic)
Salt and black ground pepper
Optional seasoning*: turmeric, cumin, parsley, cayenne pepper

*you can season it to whatever flavor you want it.

How to do di ting:

Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, mix together the ground turkey and beef until combined.
Add in the beaten egg, sofrito, and seasoning before mixing until combined (avoid over mixing)
Roll into your preferred size balls and place on a lined and grease baking sheet.
Bake for 30-35 mins or until the meatballs are fully cooked. Serve with your favorite sauce.

kam's comfort: vegetable soup

As a person who hates scrolling through long paragraphs to get to recipes, and also do not have sponsorships to write those long parables, I’m keeping this prelude short.

I made this soup to supply the @ictcommunityfridge here in Wichita. This community fridge promotes mutual aid within the community, especially in areas that are food deserts. The total amount of servings that I got from my batch were about 15 bowls. This recipe is not going to have measurements as I relied on the ancestors to guide me through.

I want you guys to think about this: what are ways that you can set up beneficial mutual aids within your community, such as the fridge? If you have one in your area as well, also think about using it and if you can contributing to it. The first step to a revolution, community strengthening.

Wa yuh need:

Carrots
Butternut squash
Chard
Zucchini squash
Onion
Bell peppers
Cherry or grape tomatoes
Yellow potatoes
Japanese sweet potatoes
Corn
Veggie bouillon
Dumplings [flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, water]
Olivie oil, salt. Pepper, allspice, and any preferred seasonings.

How do di ting:

Preheat your oven to 350°. You’ll need the oven for the tomatoes.
Wash, peel and cut the potatoes, butternut squash, and carrots into cubes. Wash then slice the zucchini squash.
Chop your onions and bell peppers into big chunks and add to blender or food processor. Pulse it until they are small and make a sofrito.
Toss your tomatoes in olive oil, salt, and pepper and roast them in the oven for 20 minutes
Add water to your pot (or instant pot) and bring to a slow boil. After it comes to a boil add the sofrito, seasoning, and a couple of cubes of the vegetable bouillon to create the base.
Add your vegetables including the corn and cook until they are tender.
To make the dumplings: Add flour, cornmeal, salt, baking powder, and some sugar into the bowl and add water and mix until it becomes a stiff but slightly sticky dough. Roll it out into medium-sized balls.
Add the dumplings, chard, and roasted tomatoes to the pot and continue to cook for about 5 minutes or until the dumplings are cooked.
Nyamn di ting.

I hope you try out this recipe and if you do tag me your pictures @islandgalting on both twitter and Instagram. Until the next food journey, love, and peace.
