Smoked Ribs with an Italian BBQ sauce
These ribs are smoked for 4 hours and then tossed in an Italian influenced BBQ sauce.
Parmesan Baked Beans
As with most families these days, I have some vegetarians in mine. Being the conscious cook, I decided to try and make a vegetarian version of baked beans that would be so delicious that no one would miss the pork or even realize something was different. I based the beans off a hearty Italian tomato sauce, and added every non-meat based version of umami I could think of. Within 5 minutes of getting to the annual 4th of July party, my vegetarian aunt reminded me that she hates beans. Oh well! These beans were worth it anyways.
Cubano-Italiano Sandwich
A twist on a classic Cubano sandwich that instead uses Italian ingredients.
