Roasted Tomato & Bacon Pork - Italian Feeling

My husband has a favorite meal - Mozzarella & Tomato Chicken - (season the chicken with salt and pepper and roast them in high heat, put into baking pan, add some fresh cherry tomatoes, cover with mozzarella cheese and bake for about 30 minutes 450F preheated oven until the cheese turns golden brown - but today I made some twist with this simple meal. Now I show to you the secrets! :)

Ingredients for 2:

Roasted Tomatoes

- 3 cups Cherry Tomatoes - I had a selection

- 3 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil

- 5-6 leaves of Basil

- pinch of Pink Salt

- pinch of Ground Peppercorn

- 1 tsp Garlic Cream / 2 cloves of Garlic

For the meat:

- 2 x 7oz Pork Loin 

- Salt and fresh ground Peppercorn to taste

- 1 big ZipLoc bag for tenderizing

- 6 slices of Pork Bacon

 - 2 types of cheeses, I had Mozzarella & Provolone mix and Colby & Monterey Jack 

 Wash the tomatoes, cut them into half and add the spices.

 

 Mix well and pour into a ceramic bowl.

 Roast for 410F preheated oven for 40 minutes (the time can be changeable, it depends on the oven +-10 minutes)

 

 Now I fry the bacon. It's your choice, I made in the oven 450F for about 30-35 minutes. Crispy and amazing!! :)

 Tenderizing the meat. I always use ZipLoc bag, I hate to cleaning  the meat pieces from everywhere, that's why I put into the bag and I can start to hit ;)

 Roast the meat slices high heat fast, approx 2 minutes per sides and  put into baking sheets.

 Put the delicious tomatoes to the top of the meats.

 Cut the bacon smaller peaces (easier to eat) and spread to the slices.

 I use 2 types of cheeses because it's will be more flavorful.

 I turn the heat for 470F and roast.

 This is how it's looks like.

Rosemary Steak Potato - the side

6 medium Red Potatoes

15 (approx) fresh Rosemary leaves (cut into small pieces) - to taste

1 pinch of Pink Himalayan Salt

1 pinch of fresh Ground Peppercorn

1 tbsp :ow Sodium Garlic Grill Seasoning

2 tsp Sriracha chili

2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil

 I washed the potatoes and cut into medium cubes. Sprinkle with the seasons, pour the olive oil and Sriracha and mix well. Put into 420F preheated oven for about 30 minutes, shake the pan and put back for another 20-25 minutes to broil. Sometimes I make the seasoning after the baking process. This is your choice! :)

 I serve with the Steak Potato and Spring Mix Salad. It is a heavy meal, I recommend for lunch, but my husband like to eat anytime :) Please enjoy!

Best Meatballs - Party Snacks

I love this meaty goodness. Easy and fast to make, amazingly delicious! Good for parties, very good for kids. You can make tiny or big balls too. It's your choice. I hope you will like it! :) Please try!

Ingredients:

3 lb ground Pork (I made from Pork Loin)
3/4 cup fried onion (details below)
1 cup plain / original breadcrumb
3 jumbo eggs / 6 small ones

Spices:

1/2 tablespoon ground black pepper
3 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon ground caraway seed
2 tablespoon home made garlic cream (details below)
2 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon Vegeta (optional)
1 big pinch of Parsley





Plain breadcrumbs to coating Vegetable Oil to fry the balls







The first thing what I've did, I grounded the pork on my Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer, with attachment. :) I like to make it myself! Put the meat in a big mixing bowl.

Cut the onion into small squares ad put in a small pan with 1 tablespoon olive oil and fry until it's soft and glazy. Add into the meat with all of the ingredients. Mix them together very well! ( I use my Stand Mixer ;) - optional ) Cover the bowl with foil and leave in the fridge for at least one night! 

I measure the balls with Ice Cream Scoop (easier to make same sizes) and shape balls with wet hands. 

Roll them into plain/original breadcrumbs and fry them in hot vegetable oil until the coat turns golden brown.
We can eat cold or we can preheat them. Usually we serve with Potato Salad, Coleslaw,  Fries or Rice with steamed Grean Peas. 

With any questions please don't hesitate to write me!
