Eat & Drink with Ali Hassan & Marco Timpano

This weeks episode: HOLIDAY MARTINI & HOLIDAY TURKEY ALTERNATIVES


Social Media:

Twitter: @podcasteatdrink

Insta: @podcasteatdrink

email: podcasteatdrink@gmail.com


Ali & Marco talk about:


PAIN IN THE ASS MARTINI


  • cardamom pods 6
  • marmalade 6 tbsp
  • vodka 400ml
  • Cointreau 125ml
  • lemon juice 4tbsp


This martini I will warn you is like the name suggests a pain in the ass, it requires time and tools and ultimately makes a mess. If you are glutton for punishment here is what you do: crush 6 cardamom pods then melt 6 tbsp of marmalade in a pan, whisk in the vodka. Add the crushed pods and stir for like 2 mins. Take off the heat let it sit and infuse 15 - 20 minutes. Once cooled, strain it so you get the seeds and flecks of orange out. Add 125ml cointreau and 4 tbsp lemon juice then chill. Serve in martini glasses. It says to add more marmalade in the bottom, but we both thought that was gross. You can add a cardamom pod or 2 floating on top but I just think it makes it more of a pain in the ass - kinda like the holidays.

39. Fables and Focaccia Special24 Oct 201901:06:00

In this episode: Ali & Marco welcome Food Journalist: Jenny Arena

They discuss a multitude of topics, with a focus on Southern Italian food and recipe creation.


Check out: Fables & Focaccia


RECIPES:


Peach Cookies (Makes approximately 3 ½ dozen cookies)

Ingredients:

Cookie Shells

·      12 eggs

·      3 cups sugar + additional sugar for dredging

·      4 packets of Lievito Bertolini (or 16 tsp of baking powder)

·      1 cup vegetable oil

·      9 -10 cups of all-purpose flour (the more humid when baking the more flour is needed)

·      1/4 cup each vermouth, one with a few drops of yellow food coloring and one with a few drops of red food coloring (or ½ cup Alchermes) or for ease ½ cup of vermouth with red coloring only

Crumb Filling

·      1 cup cookie crumbs (from the peaches)

·      4 tbls slivered almonds roughly chopped

·      1 cup peach jam

·      ¼ Amaretto liqueur

Pastry Cream Filling

·      4 eggs   

·      4 tsps.   sugar   

·      4 tsps.     all-purpose flour

·      2 cups   milk   

 

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl, mix all ingredients except flour together by hand (for the lemon variation also add in the lemon juice, lemon zest and lemon extract). Slowly add in the flour and begin to knead by hand until you’ve formed a semi-hard dough). Using a tablespoon or small scoop, measure out little balls of dough.

Place a small amount of vegetable oil on your hands and then roll out the dough balls and place onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper at least an inch apart. When making the lemon variation work the ball of dough into little lemon shapes by hand.

Bake the cookies on the middle rack for 15-20 minutes (timing will depend on your oven) until they are slightly golden on top and golden underneath. Remove the cookies and allow them to cool.

Once cooled, using a melon baller or small paring knife, scoop out the centre of each cookie taking care not to go too deep with the cookie. Once all the centres have been removed, dip half of the cookies in the yellow food coloring and the other half in the red food coloring and place them onto clean paper towel to dry slightly. Taking one each of the red and the yellow, fill the centres of each half and put them together. Roll the formed peach or lemon in sugar and place on a dish or serving tray.

For the Crumb Filling

In a small bowl combine all the ingredients to get a soft, sticky mixture then spoon it into each half of the peach.

For the Pastry Cream

For the filling, combine the eggs, flour, sugar and milk into a medium saucepan and cook over medium heat for 20 minutes, stirring constantly.

Remove from the heat, transfer to a bowl and cover. Then allow to cool for 2 hours.

 

Note: the recipe can easily be halved to make less cookies. Also, the cookie shells can be hallowed out and will store well in the freezer.


 

Nutella Truffles

Ingredients

·      6 cups dried cookie crumbs (such as “S” cookies or tea biscuits)

·      450 grams of Nutella

·      1 cup hazelnut liqueur (can be substituted with milk or coffee to make non-alcoholic)

·      1 cup chopped hazelnuts, chocolate sprinkles or other decoration of your choosing

 

Directions:

1.    Place cookies in a food processor and chop into fine crumb mixture

2.    Place the cookie crumbs into a large bowl

3.    Add the Nutella and liquid

4.    Combine the mixture until you get a semi-firm dough. Mixing the ingredients with your hands is the best method

5.    Roll the dough out into small balls then coat in chopped hazelnuts or sprinkles

6.    Refrigerate for 1 hour to allow them to set and enjoy

Note: the truffles can be made and frozen, they freeze incredibly well

email: podcasteatdrink@gmail.com


Ali & Marco talk about


Kamikaze Cocktail:

If you want the glory of drinking out of a Martini glass but aren't a fan of the strong alcohol taste, then get this great concoction. Equal parts Vodka, Triple Sec and Lime juice. Shake those three ingredients in a shaker and pour into a martini glass. Elegant and tart a great cocktail *I prefer to up the vodka content by a half ounce over the other two ingredients but I'll leave that to your tastes.


Salad:

Bitter can be better! Here’s a way to make arugula absolutely SHINE in a summer salad.


3 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

1 tsp red wine vinegar

1/4 tsp salt

1 small clove garlic, minced & mashed

1/2 cup canned chick peas, drained

1/4 cup canned corn, drained

2 tbsp sauerkraut, chopped

10 cherry tomatoes, quartered

Chopped herbs, such as basil, mint, cilantro

3 handfuls of Arugula

Blue-veined Cheese like Gorgonzola or St-Agur


  • In a large mixing bowl, mix the first 5 ingredients
  • add the chick peas and corn, let sit for 30 min
  • add the remaining ingredients, toss, garnish with blue cheese and serve immediately


if anyone still complains about the bitterness of the arugula in this salad, see them out of your home and off a cliff. Bon Appétit!

Ali & Marco celebrate the Raptor's victory with some sport food and drink favourites.


Greek Coffee:

Look if you are going to make this coffee, you need patience, extra fine coffee grounds, water, sugar and a Briki

There are a whole lot of steps to make this coffee, but here is the basics:

  1. pour cold water into your briki making sure it is the amount that will fit in your demi tasse
  2. Add sugar depending on how sweet you like 1 to 2 teaspoons.
  3. Add your Greek Coffee, at least heaping teaspoons per cup, we tried 2 and thought it was a little weak.
  4. Boil it, watching for foam to rise, use a spoon to remove the foam and put it in your cup, while the coffee still boils.
  5. Make sure you coffee doesn't boil over, you don't want to burn it, also you can remove the briki from the stove when you first see it start to rise. You want to make sure the coffee doesn't boil over and you want to make sure the coffee has cooked long enough so that you don't taste the coffee grounds, and that is where the art comes in. You just got to plain figure that shit out.
  6. Pour the coffee into your demi tasse that has some foam already placed in it.
  7. Let it settle before you drink and don't drink to the end of the cup or you will get a mouthful of sediment.


Tzatziki

Simple. Yet precise. You know what I mean?

Also - this is a dip, not a watery sauce. Check yoself. ;)


1 750g container of yogurt - Greek or 3.25%

2-4 cloves of garlic - minced and mashed

3/4 cup of grated cucumber

7-10 mint leaves, washed and minced

4-6 long sprigs of dill, washed and minced

salt, to taste


  • Line a mesh strainer with paper towel. Empty the container of yogurt onto it, and let strain for at least 1 hour
  • Empty thickened, drained yogurt into a large mice bowl. Toss out liquid
  • Squeeze excess moisture from the grated cucumber and add to yogirt
  • add herbs and garlic and salt - check the taste and refrigerate for at least an hour.
  • Take it to a party and feel what it’s like to be a HERO.

This weeks episode: Lemonesso & Condiments


Social Media:

email: podcasteatdrink@gmail.com


Ali & Marco get ready for summer with a coffee recipe ripped right out of Martha Stewart Living magazine, does it pass or fail? Listen to find out. Ali brings his favourite condiments to the table.


Lemonesso:

Here is the recipe, but listen to the episode before your even put the coffee on.

  • Pour 1 cup of lemon soda in this case we used San Pelligrino Limonata over a glass of ice
  • Pour 1.5 ounces of espresso coffee ontop
  • Add a lemon wheel for bellezza
  • Stir this bastard up.
  • Drink if you dare.


Condiments

"Marco Stewart" may have failed you and himself with his Lemonesso....but step right in to the warm embrace of Ali's Condiments. Here is a saucy, spicy, pickle-ly list of things that should be in your pantry for this summer!


  1. Mustards - one classic yellow mustard, one dijon (great for salad dressings too)
  2. Pickles - a kosher dill, a bread & butter (which you could make your own relish with), and whatever else your mouth likes to crunch on
  3. Sauerkraut - yes "fermented cabbage" doesn't SOUND sexy...but it tastes good and is so darn good for you!
  4. Kimchi - A great compliment to burgers, dogs, noodle dishes and omelet! Look for a brand without sugar, don't leave the cap off for too long....
  5. Jalapenos - fresh, pickled or in a puree! (I just discovered this stuff: https://sinaigourmet.com)
  6. Hummus: "white people's mayo"; don't hesitate to make your own!
  7. Hot Sauce: Sriracha, Franks, Tabasco, Cholula, Valentina's, La Bomba Italiana...mix some classics in with something new & exciting!
  8. Ketchup. IF YOU MUST. Here's a brand that I can support: https://goodfoodforgood.ca


Head out to your local grocer, stock up on these if you haven't already....and sit back and let summer and all its fun soak right in!

BASIC BAR:

What are the basics anyone needs to start there bar? This a Questions for the ages. None to worry on this episode we dive into what you need to start your home bar.


GUACAMOLE:

Make this. Eat this. And then if you find yourself buying store-bought guacamole then exile yourself to a small island where you're not able to communicate with any other humans for your remaining time on earth. THAT'S how good fresh guacamole is.

This is a blend of a Mexican guacamole and a Trinidadian zaboca choka and its F**ING THE BEST


1 semi-ripe avocado

1 lime

1 small clove garlic

a sliver of scotch bonnet pepper (or minced jalapeño, to taste)

1/4 tsp kosher salt, or to taste

1/4 tsp roasted cumin

cilantro, washed well and dried

optional: minced tomato, minced red onion


Directions:

  • mince and mash garlic and scotch bonnet - add to a medium sized bowl
  • add 1/2 freshly squeezed lime juice
  • add salt
  • grind cumin to a powder and add
  • add avocado, scooped out of its shell
  • mash all the ingredients together - test for salt, lime and heat - all three should be present in the flavour profile
  • add chopped cilantro and mix together and serve immediately.


Avocados as you would know oxidize and turn brown quickly. Even more reason to make it fresh and eat it quickly. God speed.

COSMOPOLITAN COCKTAIL or POMOPOLITAN COCKTAIL

This is the cocktail that Sex in the City killed. They brought it back into fashion in the 90s, and then helped make the cocktail passé. On this episode Marco mistakenly substitutes pomegranate juice for cranberry. Substitute the fruit juice you prefer and let us know how it turns out.


  • 2 oz vodka
  • 1 oz cranberry juice
  • 3/4 oz fresh lime juice
  • 3/4 oz triple sec
  • orange twist


Combine ice, vodka, cranberry (or in this case pomegranate juice), lime juice and triple sec in a cocktail shaker. Shake it until your hands are so cold they can't hold the shaker. Strain in a martini glass and garnish with a lemon twist.


TAHINI

Not for shaving anymore.

email: podcasteatdrink@gmail.com


BANANA DAIQUIRI

There is no way around it, you need a blender for this drink. It is a twist on the classic lime daiquiri but you add Bananas to this baby. It is great when it's cold outside and you want to think of tropical places make yourself this cocktail and sit back and you'll be taken there in an instant. Then when you wake up from your drunken stupor go shovel the driveway.


1/2 banana

1.5 oz Light Rum

1 oz fresh lime juice

.05 oz of triple sec

1 teaspoon of white sugar or syrup (or more if you like it sweeter)

1 cup of ice cubes.


Put all this stuff in a blender and make it do what it does best, pour into a wide mouth glass. Enjoy!


KEDGEREE

Breakfast of champions! Stolen from India and then re-colonized as a dish local to the Empire? Maybe. But for today, we just focus on the taste of the actual dish. And that taste can be DELICIOUS.


3 cups cooked basmati rice

1 cup of fish: smoked (or baked) salmon, trout or haddock - roughly chopped

2 tbsp of butter

1/2 red onion, finely chopped

1 garlic clove, smashed and minced

1 tsp curry powder

1/2 tsp cumin seeds

1/2 tsp of red chili flakes

1/4 cup of frozen green peas

Fresh limes


Garnish:

Chopped fresh herbs like cilantro, chives or mint

2 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and cut in quarters


Optional Ingredients - this is a bastardized dish anyway so don't let anyone tell you what you can and can't put in here! Capers, sambal olek, corn, black beans, lentils....have fun with it!


  • heat a large frying pan over medium heat
  • add the butter, followed one minute later by the onion and garlic
  • add the curry powder, cumin and chili flakes and saute for 2 minutes
  • add the green peas and fish and other optional ingredients
  • garnish, squeeze lemon all over and serve immediately


A great way to combine your leftover fish, rice and "odds and sods" from the fridge into one delicious breakfast.

Comedians Ali Hassan & Marco Timpano, discuss, lament & come to terms with Food & Drink. They bring over a quarter century of restaurant experience to the podcast table.


This weeks episode: Gin and Tonic & Cod


Social Media:

Insta: @podcasteatdrink

email: podcasteatdrink@gmail.com


GIN & TONIC

It is one of the classics. It is simple to make. It is one that everyone should try.

Use a highball glass if you don't have one, the tallest glass you have will do.

1.25 oz Gin (that's one and a quarter ounces)

4 oz Tonic

stir with a spoon or a swizzle stick to incorporate the gin with the tonic.

add lime wedge to the rim of the glass for you guest to squeeze into the G&T should they choose to.

Serve.



PAN-FRIED ZA'ATAR COD

If you don't want a "fishy" fish, there are those who will suggest that you shouldn't be eating fish. Others, like me, will introduce you to COD. Also, if you're averse to pan-frying you must become un-averse to it.


Ingredients:

Cod loin, fresh or frozen: drained and patted dry

1 cup of flour

1 egg, beaten

1/4 cup of Za'atar

1 tbsp butter

1 tbsp olive oil

Fresh lemon

Sea Salt to taste

Herbs - like cilantro, chives, mint - chopped


  • Heat a frying pan - large enough to fit your cod but not crowd it - over medium heat
  • Take your dry cod and make it drier, by dusting it lightly in flour
  • coat with beaten egg
  • coat with Zaatar
  • add butter and olive oil to the pan
  • add cod to the pan, and cook until JUST DONE
  • salt, add fresh herbs and lemon juice and serve warm


This recipe was inspired by Valentine's Day in particular and romance in general. Its flavourful and light, which leaves lovers enough energy to get to other important things like binge-watching television shows. Eat well, friends.

This weeks episode: Cappuccino & Broth

email: podcasteatdrink@gmail.com


CAPPUCCINO

The perfect coffee for breakfast.

The classic proportions are:

1 oz espresso (25 ml)

4 oz milk (to 125 ml)

Thus you are making a 5 oz coffee (150 ml).

I would estimate that 1.5 oz of the above milk will be foam or what barista's like to call micro bubbles, which sits atop the coffee and warm milk. There is no need for a swan or a heart to be designed on this and there is no need to add cinnamon or chocolate dust to this, unless you determine that is your preference.


It should never EVER be served in a Mug, a soup bowl, a chalice. I simple demi-tasse, or squat cup will do. It is an unassuming pretty little thing, don't gild this lily. Punto e Basta.

Our Special Episode: Food in Film with our special guest:

Where we talk about films that feature film that have a focus on film.


Bil Antoniou

His podcasts:

Bad Gay Movies

My Criterions


DING-A-LING

This is a cocktail you make if you hate someone. It was one of the worst we have made and one of the worst ever tasted by us. That said, some people like a cocktail that is so syrupy sweet and so wrong in beverage combination that this may be your thing. I strongly suggest skipping to the Vesper.


4oz Lemon Lime Soda

1oz Peach Schnapps (no one needs this in their liquor cabinet)

1oz Vodka


Do not shake it like I did or your 7up/Sprite will just make this mess of a cocktail even more of a mess. As cheesy as the movie, try you best to enjoy this horrible cocktail.


VESPER MARTINI

There are 2 things you need to know about this Martini. 1. You Shake it. 2. It is strong.


2oz Gin

0.5oz Vodka

0.25 oz Lillet (that's quarter ounce folks)


Shake this money-maker over ice till your shaker is so cold you can barely hold it, there should be a wonderful frost all over you shaker indicating this martini is cold. Strain into a martini goblet or a deep goblet as Flemming recommended. Garnish with a slick of lemon peel.


Enjoy and while you are at it save the world!

Grind some black pepper on top of the drink.

Add a celery stalk to this drink


Drink and relieve that pesky hangover. Or start down the path to getting a new one.


Bacon

Much has already been written about the beauty of bacon. I will write more here.

This sandwich was inspired by the one made by Adam Sandler’s character in the film Spanglish, which was inspired by a sandwich made by Thomas Keller of The French Laundry.


Here is Keller’s version. https://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/blt-fried-egg-and-cheese-sandwich


My adaptation is

  • sourdough bread, every time
  • arugula leaves
  • cheese - OPTIONAL (unbelievably)
  • avocado - MANDATORY
  • a thick hot sauce like Valentina’s or Sriracha


This sandwich, despite all its ingredients, still manages to put bacon centre-stage. Have a great time eating this!!

TORONTO COCKTAIL

This is a wonderful Cocktail named after a wonderful city and for some strange reason no one knows about it...until now. If you are fan of the Old Fashion or a Manhattan you'll like this number. It's an old drink and it's origins are questionable. What is not in question is how delicious this drink is, on the rocks or straight up the city and this cocktail will not steer you wrong.

  • Pitch some ice in a shaker
  • 2 oz of Canadian Rye Whiskey
  • 1/4 oz of Fernet Branca
  • 1/4 oz of Simple Syrup *if you are too lazy to make simple syrup try sugar but I implore you make the syrup.
  • 2 dashes of Angostura Bitters
  • Cut an orange peel and bend it so that the alcohol in the orange peel hits the drink and not your eye
  • Strain into a glass.
  • serve it neat or on the rocks



TOMATILLO SALSA

A fresh and exciting departure from tomato salsa and all canned (god forbid!) salsa.


  • 5-7 tomatillos, from a can - drained 
  • ½ onion - roughly chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic - smashed
  • 1/4 of a jalapeno - seeds included
  • juice of 1/2 a lime
  • A handful of chopped cilantro
  • 1/2 tsp of Salt, or to taste


Drop all these ingredients into a mini-blender and pulse until a slightly chunky salsa remains. Test for lime and salt and serve over your favourite everything! If you remember one thing, remember this. The tomatillo is NOT a tomato.

HANKY PANKY

This drink dates back to 1935 when Ada Coleman from the Savoy Hotel made this cocktail with the fanciful name.

  • Pitch some ice in a shaker
  • 1.5 oz of Sweet Vermouth (that's the red one)
  • 1.5 oz of Gin
  • 2 dashes Fernet Branca
  • Stir this bad boy 60 times
  • Strain into a coupe glass if you have, otherwise any drinking vessel will do.
  • Garnish by squeezing an orange peel over the top.

And bye Jove, you've got yourself a hanky-panky!


CHICKEN TINGA

A "tinga" is a quarrel...but aint no one quarrelling over this dish! You can use beef, chicken or pork in this dish, and the key is to make sure the shredded, and at least a little bit spicy!

  • 3 cups shredded cooked chicken (boil, covered in a few cups of water or use rotisserie chicken)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large sweet onion - roughly chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3-5 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon oregano (Mexican, ideally)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 cup canned crushed tomatoes
  • 1⁄4 cup chicken stock (from your boiled chicken)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Chopped cilantro


  • Place a large skillet over medium heat. Add the oil and onion. Sauté for 4 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Add in the garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the chipotles, oregano, and cumin, and fry for another 1 minute. Add in the tomatoes, stock, and salt. Bring to a simmer, and cook for 10-12 minutes.
  • Puree the tomato sauce with a hand blender or by adding it into a standing blender.
  • Return the blended sauce to the pan over medium low, and cook for another 5-10 minutes. Add the chicken, toss to coat, and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Season with lime and cilantro and serve with rice or as a taco filling!
