Cheryl’s Recipe Corner

Pupusas and Curtido

Description

Pupusas are El Salvadorian stuffed corn cakes served with curtido and salsa roja. They are typically filled with melty cheese, pickled jalapeño and roasted squash, but the filling options are endless!  And the Curtido is a form of pickled coleslaw! I grew up enjoying these with my dad, so making them is a trip down memory lane!  It’s dinner tonight, once the show is over!

Ingredients (Curtido)

1/2 head of cabbage, (2 cups of shredded cabbage)

1 medium carrot, grated

1 tablespoon dried Mexican oregano, (if you can’t find Mexican oregano, use Italian!)

1 cup hot water

1 cup apple cider vinegar

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1 teaspoon granulated sugar

Ingredients (Papusa Dough)

3 cups (11.8 ounces/334g) masa harina , (such as maseca)

2 teaspoons kosher salt

2 3/4 cup cold water, (from the faucet is fine)

Ingredients (Papusa Filling)

2 cups (7.5 ounces) shredded mozzarella, (or Oaxacan cheese or any other melty cheese)

1/2 cup pickled jalapeño peppers, diced

1/2 cup diced roasted butternut squash

1 cup water (for hands)

2 tablespoons olive oil or neutral oil (for hands)

Directions (Curtido)

To a medium bowl, toss together the cabbage, carrots and Mexican oregano. In a measuring cup, stir together the hot water, vinegar, salt and sugar; pour it over the cabbage/carrot mixture. Allow it to come to room temperature and then cover it with plastic wrap and transfer it to the fridge for at least 4 hours and preferably a day before serving.

Directions (Papusa Dough)

In a medium bowl, whisk together the masa harina and salt. Pour in the cold water and using a spatula, stir the masa until mostly combined. Then, using your hands, mix the dough until a very soft dough forms. The dough will be very soft. This is totally okay; this means a delicious pupusa is on the way! I found it easiest to use a 2 ounce ice cream scoop and scoop out the masa into balls onto a piece of parchment. You could also do this with your hands but be sure to make the water/oil mixture above and coat your hands with it first.

Directions (Papusas)

Add the water to a measuring cup and pour in the oil (you can eyeball this). Lightly dip your hands in the water/oil mixture, making sure your palm are evenly coated. This will make it so the masa doesn’t stick to your hands. Preheat your oven to 200 degrees F. I like to place the pupusas in the oven while I make the rest of the pupusas so they can stay warm and melty. I placed a cooling rack atop a baking sheet and placed it in the oven. Working one at a time, flatten the balls gently until they’re about 1/2-inch thick discs. Place a tablespoon or two of mozzarella cheese, a small bit of diced jalapeño and squash into the center and wrap the dough around the filling creating a half moon shape. Pinch the edges to seal it completely. And then pat the dough gently, flattening it and alternating hands until it reaches about 1/4-inch thick and about 4-inches in diameter. Feel free to re-grease your hands as needed. Repeat with the remaining balls of dough. Meanwhile, preheat a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add a teaspoon of neutral oil and brush the surface with a silicon brush. Add the pupusas to the pan, fitting two to three at time. Don’t be shy to break out another cast iron skillet (if you own it). Cook each pupusa for 4 to 6 minutes per side and then transfer to the baking sheet in the oven. Repeat this process until you’ve worked your way through all of the pupusas.

Directions (Serving)

Serve the pupusas with the curtido, wedges of lime and salsa.

Tips and Tricks

Cookie scoops are your friend! Use a 2 ounce cookie scoop to divide the dough into balls. It makes it super quick and easy and ensures they are close to the same size. Make sure your hands are always oiled. This dough is super sticky and the oil helps so much! While forming the pupusas, if a tear appears, simply pinch the masa shut. Also if a bit of cheese leaks out of the pupusa while cooking it, that’ll be delicious and make a bit of a cheese chip. Let gravity be your friend. When you move the ball of masa from palm to palm, gravity will help make it get a bit flatter. Each time you move it from palm to palm, you should be gently flattening it. When you’re done forming each pupusa, place them on a piece of parchment. You can use a plate or cutting board, just be sure to grease it with a bit of oil so the formed pupusas don’t stick. If you don’t own a large griddle and want to keep the pupusas warm while you work your way through cooking them, use your oven. Place a baking rack on top of a baking sheet and stick it in a 200 degree F oven. As you finish cooking the Pupusa’s, transfer them to the oven to keep them warm.

Take a vacation with this great drink!

Ingredients

1-1/2 oz gold rum

1/2 oz Lime Juice

1 tsp grenadine syrup

3/4 oz Hazelnut liqueur (example: Frangelico)

Directions

Mix, shake, stir and strain into a chilled cocktail glass.

1 x 850g can pineapple slices in 100% pineapple juice

1 mango, peeled

3 oranges

2 Granny Smith apples

Juice of 1 lemon

6 cups cold water

1/3 cup sugar

1/2 tsp. salt

(Rum or Vodka, if desired)

?Directions

Put the lemon juice into a large mixing bowl or punchbowl. Dice the apples into small pieces. Stir the diced apple into the lemon juice as you go along, to stop the pieces from browning. Peel the mango. Dice the flesh. Add to the bowl. Open the can of pineapple. Pour the juice into the bowl. Dice the pineapple slices and add to the bowl. Squeeze the juice of 2 oranges, pour into the bowl. Dice the remaining orange and add it to the bowl. Transfer the contents of the fruit and liquid to a large pitcher or a punchbowl, it does make a large quantity. Add 6 cups of water. Add the sugar and salt. Stir. You can drink this immediately, but it tastes best if you put it in the fridge for at least 2 hours, and even better if you can wait until the next day. Serve cold.

Remoting Your SDR

Dongles (RTL-SDR, AirSpy, SDRPlay, etc)

rtl_tcp

an I/Q spectrum server for RTL2832 based DVB-T receivers

SpyServer

Airspy R0, R2, Mini, Airspy HF+, RTL-SDR and AOR radios can be used as a high performance SDR receiver capable of streaming separate chunks of the spectrum to multiple clients over the LAN or the Internet.

sdrpp –server

SDR++ will operate as a server to provide the IQ stream over a network connection to another instance of SDR++ running on a different device elsewhere ona  network - including over an internet connection.  Default port is 5259.

OpenWebRX

OpenWebRX is an open source web-based software defined radio application that allows users to share access to one ore more SDR devices using a browser.

“Software defined radio”: All processing is done in software, using digital signal processing (“DSP”) technology.

“Web-based”: Users do not need to install anything on their PC; all that’s required to be able to use OpenWebRX is an HTML5 capable browser.

“Shared access”: Multiple users can use the same receiver at the same time, and can listen to different frequencies and modes (some restrictions apply).

“Open source”: The code for all parts of OpenWebRX is available under free and open source (“FOSS”) licenses.

OpenWebRX+

OpenWebRX+ adds many features missing from the original OpenWebRX, such as noise reduction, tuning steps, scanner, keyboard shortcuts, improved user interface and maps, and decoders for many digital communication protocols. Please note that the following document covers both the original OpenWebRX and the extended OpenWebRX+. Features specific to OpenWebRX+ are marked so.

PhantomSDR-Plus WebSDR v2.0.0

PhantomSDR-Plus is a high-performance WebSDR server that can handle hundreds of concurrent users. This enhanced version focuses on Linux optimization and provides significant improvements over the original PhantomSDR.

Plug and Play Options Hardware/Software Combos for the lazy that don’t want to setup anything and just buy stuff.

KiwiSDR

KiwiSDR Independent SDR Network Receivers are stand-alone SDR (software-defined radio) receivers that operate across a frequency range of 10 kHz to 30 MHz, encompassing very low frequency (VLF) to high frequency (HF) bands. These receivers come pre-installed with OpenWebRX and feature an integrated GPS receiver. Its ease of use and comprehensive features make it one of the best HF SDRs available. The Kiwi SDR2 is different from other SDRs. It is a standalone device that attaches to your local network and is optionally accessed through the Internet. A browser is used to connect to the user interface. Most other SDRs generate raw IQ data and need to be connected directly to a PC or laptop running OS-specific, installed software.  (Open Source The licenses used are mostly a mix of GPL v2.1/3 and MIT.)

SDRPlay nRSP-ST (proprietary)

The nRSP-ST is a truly “plug and play” integrated, networked general coverage receiver which combines a receiver, a host computer and a whole lot more all in one box. Apply power and connect to the internet and the nRSP-ST can be accessible from anywhere. The receiver comprises a full-featured 14-bit software defined radio. It offers up to 10MHz of spectrum visibility anywhere between 1kHz and 2GHz. The nRSP-ST is ideal as a stand-alone device with remote connections made accessible via its Ethernet or WiFi interfaces. The unit supports a choice of three data transport modes to suit the available network bandwidth of LAN or WAN connectivity. It is ideal for use in a low noise location or where connections to large outdoor antennas are feasible. Large IQ files can readily be stored on a local storage device. SDRplay provides free companion SDRconnectTM client SDR software for Windows, MacOS and Linux platforms, and the nRSP-ST provides a built-in web-server for remote access from most up-todate web browsing capable devices, including Android/iOS tablets and phones.

Cheryl’s Recipe Corner

Pecan Goat Cheese Salad with blackberry vinaigrette

Description

A few months ago we stopped in Tupelo, Mississippi for dinner (as we headed home from our Disney World Vacation) and, due to my diagnosis last year with Celiac disease, I have to avoid gluten.  The restaurant we choose had a wonderful gluten-free menu, and this was one of the choices, and it was AMAZING (especially as we dined during a fantastic thunderstorm - we love storms!) It’s a summer friendly recipe, too!

Ingredients (Salad Base)

Protein of your choice (rotisserie chicken, grilled shrimp or grilled steak bites)

Dressing (recipe below)

Candied Pecans, crumbled

Goat Cheese Crumbles

Strawberries (sliced)

Real Bacon Bits

Ingredients (Dressing)

6oz Blackberries

1/3 cup Balsamic Vinegar

1/4 cup olive oil

1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard

1 tablespoon lemon juice

2-3 teaspoons sugar

Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Place all dressing ingredients in a food processor or blender and blend well.  Taste, and adjust ingredients as needed to your taste.  Set aside while you are assembling your salad. In a bowl layer your salad base, protein, dressing.  Then adorn your salad with the candied pecans, goat cheese crumbles, strawberries and bacon bits (if desired)

Cheryl’s Mixed Drink Corner

Rum Runner

Description

A tasty summer cocktail that will take you on a tropical taste vacation!

Ingredients

1 ounce light rum

1 ounce dark or aged rum

1 ounce banana liqueur

1/2 ounce blackberry liqueur, or blackberry brandy

1 ounce pineapple juice

1 splash grenadine

Variety of fresh fruit, for garnish

Directions

Gather the ingredients. Add all of the ingredients to a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake well. Strain into a hurricane glass over fresh ice. Garnish with fruit and enjoy. Recipe Variation: Make this rum runner into a frozen drink by pouring the ingredients into a blender with about 3/4 cup of ice. Blend until smooth. A Rum Runner Recipe Heavy on the OJ: If you enjoy orange juice cocktails, this is a great rum runner recipe. It requires fewer ingredients, so it’s super easy to make. The rum, blackberry brandy, and banana liqueur complement the fresh orange nicely, and their combined sweetness offsets the tart citrus. Try it in the blender as well; it makes a fantastic frozen cocktail. To make this drink, combine 1 1/2 ounces of rum with 1/2 ounce each of blackberry brandy and crème de banana, and 3 ounces of orange juice in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Add a dash of falernum (or grenadine), shake, and strain into a chilled hurricane glass. A Classically Styled Rum Runner Recipe: Dale DeGroff’s “The Craft of the Cocktail” is a book filled with amazing recipes like this rum runner. It’s entirely different than all others, and that’s what makes it great. This drink has a lighter profile because it skips the heaviness of orange juice and opts for refreshing pineapple instead. It also features two rums and introduces the rich texture of an egg white. All of these elements give DeGroff’s rum runner a classic style that’s lost in most modern renditions of the cocktail. To make this drink, muddle a piece of lime in the bottom of a cocktail shaker until lightly bruised. Add 1 ounce each of light and medium rums, pineapple juice, and simple syrup, as well as 1/2 ounce of lime juice and an egg white. Shake vigorously (more than usual to properly mix the egg) and strain into a tall glass with ice. Garnish with tropical fruitt. RAW EGG WARNING: Consuming raw and lightly cooked eggs poses a risk for foodborne illness.

WhistlePig PiggyBack Bourbon Whiskey

Description

PiggyBack 100 Proof Bourbon gives our bold approach to whiskey a sweeter spin. Born from our signature grain’s other half, it starts with a high Corn mash bill (keeping a dash of Rye of course). Six long years of age in Char #3 barrels adds layers of flavor before bottling at 100 Proof, so you can keep it 100 whether you choose Bourbon or Rye. Sip it neat or shake it in a classic. With its sweeter profile, PiggyBack 100 Proof Bourbon shines in citrus and sour drinks – like our Barrel Aged Maple Bourbon Sour.

Details

Mashbill: Unknown (high corn, a dash of rye)

Region: Queechee, Vermont

Proof: 100 (50% ABV)

Color: Toasted honey

Nose: Caramel, cinnamon, yeasty bread, sugary white grapes

Taste: Cinnamon, apples, maple, lightly toasted orange, vanilla, mint, green tea

Finish: Candied sweet apples, baking spices, hints of caramel

Price: $40 (750ml)

Rating: 90

YouTube Comment from @jasoncherry3404

Im very seriously considering purchasing a new Commodore 64 from the UK to use a programming / gaming platform for retro style games.  Do I have to put the system on the internet or can I keep it static for just at home use and just download updates to a jump drive then load them that way?  I’d like to keep the system as clean as I can so the I expose it to the internet the better.  However if I do put the system on the internet for ease of downloading programs are there sites specific to the commodore that have safe content and games for downloading?  What anti virus do you recommend and is there anything that comes with the Commodore OS already?  The video was very informative thank you.

Tasso

Description

Our recipe this week comes from the cookbook, Zydeco et pas salè (https://a.co/d/0yGdwOD)), with all the fabulous Cajun recipes, that our friend and longtime listener, Hutch (K9KJN) published.  He recently told me that I could use any of his recipes in the Recipe corner, so I opened up the cookbook today, closed my eyes and just pointed… and this is the recipe I selected!  I’m really happy I did… I love the Tasso he prepares.

Ingredients (Tasso Meat)

1 5-pound pork tenderloin, sliced into ¼-inch-thick rounds

5 cups Worcestershire sauce

5 cups Tasso Seasoning (recipe below)

Ingredients (Tasso Seasoning)

1 cup coarse-ground black pepper

1 cup kosher salt

1 cup cayenne powder

1 cup brown sugar

1-1/2 cups granulated garlic

1 tablespoon allspice

Directions

Marinate the sliced pork tenderloin in Worcestershire sauce overnight. Remove the meat and drain. Combine all tasso seasoning ingredients and place the tasso seasoning onto a large, flat platter and dredge the pork in the seasoning, coating both sides. Layer the pork in a large colander, covering each layer with extra seasoning. Place the colander in a large pan to catch any liquids, cover with aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 3 days. Preheat a smoker. Remove the meat and place in the preheated smoker. Cook until the tasso reaches an internal temperature of 155 degrees. Makes about 3 pounds of Tasso Note: This makes a jerky like meat.  Very spicy, but delicious!

Description

Bill brought me a lovely bottle of Huckleberry Vodka, from Bozeman Spirits (Bozeman, MT) to Hamvention.  I was encouraged, during the last Weekender, that I needed to find a recipe to share with everyone that featured the vodka.  Here is what I found (and what I found goes well with the vodka).  While I have not found this specific brand on shelves in Missouri, 360 Vodka (based out of Weston, MO) has a Huckleberry Vodka that would be quite tasty this way if you find that on your store shelves.

Ingredients

2 oz Huckleberry Flavored Vodka

1 oz Blue Curacao

3 oz lemonade

Ice

Directions

Add ice, Huckleberry Flavored Vodka, and blue curaçao to a shaker. Shake and strain into a glass with fresh ice. Top with lemonade.

Bumbu XO Rum

Description

Bumbu XO is truly a thing of beauty. An aged rum that is smooth, rich and complex. Created from scratch by our master distiller, our XO aged rum is matured in ex-bourbon barrels and selectively finished in white oak sherry casks to achieve a beautifully balanced, endlessly sippable rum. This special release is distilled and aged in Panama, where we created a truly unique – and unquestionably superior – rum. Aromas of toffee, toasted oak, and vanilla give way to orange zest, peppery spice and even a hint of coffee on the palate. A wonderfully engaging rum that encourages repeat visits, Bumbu XO is perfect for traditional rum cocktails – and perhaps even better on its own, neat or with a single ice cube.

Details

Mashbill: 100% cane sugar

Region: Barbados

Proof: 80 (40% ABV)
