Ingredients:

Lococo's Sweet Pickled Pork Back, evenly sliced
Turkey Breast, sliced or shredded
Panini Buns
Havarti Cheese (Or use Swiss cheese)
Dill Pickles, sliced
Mustard

Steps:

Fortunately we had cooked turkey breast and peameal on hand. These were both prepared ahead and cooked in the oven. In general, you'll want to cook a bone-in turkey breast for about 20 minutes per pound at 350°F (177°C). For the peameal, you can bake it at 375°F (19°C) for about an hour, or until it has a core temperature of 142°F (61°C), then slice it.

1) Preheat your grill pan (or use a panini press) on low.
2) Prepare your buns by slicing them down the middle and spreading mustard inside.
3) Build your sandwich by layering (in this order) the peameal, cheese, turkey, and pickles.
4) When you’re ready to toast your sandwiches, apply a generous amount of butter onto your pan. Flip once your sandwich has reached your desired amount of toastiness.
5) Plate, halve, and enjoy!

Ingredients:

1 lb lean ground beef
1 lb lean ground pork
1/2 cup of milk
4 slices of Italian-style bread
1 egg
3/4 cup fresh parmesan cheese
1/2 cup parsley
2 cloves of garlic (minced)
Salt and Pepper

Steps:

1) Begin by mincing the parsley and bread in a food processor (mince them separately, not together).
2) Blend together your ground beef and pork. Be sure to generously mix the two together, it results in a more consistent flavour.
3) In a small bowl combine 1/2 cup of milk and a little water.
4) Add your bread crumbs to the milk/water mixture and give them a good mix. Once the bread crumbs are evenly soaked, squeeze out the excess liquid and add the breadcrumbs to your meat.
5) Add the egg, parsley, parmesan, and garlic to the meat and bread crumbs and (using your hands) blend together all ingredients. You want to evenly mix all ingredients together, so be sure to spend a decent amount of time on this step.
6) Once all the ingredients are evenly blended, roll the meat mixture into medium-sized balls and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
7) On the baking sheet, add some flour and gently roll each meatball into the flour to get a nice thin coat on the exterior. This step helps to retain the moisture in the meatball when cooking.
8) Add olive oil to your pan and over medium-high heat begin cooking the meatballs, making sure to turn them so all sides are exposed to the hot pan.
9) Once the meatballs are partially cooked, you can add your tomato sauce to the pan and allow the meatballs to finish cooking in the sauce OR you can bake them. We preheated the oven to 375, added the meatballs to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and cooked for roughly 20 minutes.

Ingredients:

Whole Rainbow Trout
Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper
Lemons (we used 3)
Fresh Herbs (we used Parsley and Dill)

Steps:

1) Begin by laying the trout on some tin foil - we used two layers of tin foil to ensure the heat would not escape.
2) Put olive oil, salt, and pepper all over the fish (inside and out). Stuff the fish with whatever fresh herbs you have on hand - chives, spinach, or thyme would also be an excellent choice.
3) Place lemon slices inside the fish and close it up.
4) Place tinfoil on top of the fish and seal all ends. We want the fish to steam inside the foil packet.
5) Bake at 400°F until the fish flakes easily (checking often). For us, it took roughly 25 minutes.
6) Once the fish is done, remove it from the tin foil and either serve it whole or fillet!

**To fillet, gently cut into the flesh near the fish's head and tail. There is a line that runs along the fish's body, using a butter knife and spoon, gently cut following this line. This will separate the first fillet away from the bones. Push the second fillet off of the bones and scrape away any tiny bones that may be stuck to it. Once finished, find the end of the bone (at the base of the tail) and pull it up away from the fish. This bone should easily separate from the fish in one swift movement. Clean the bottom fillet of any tiny bones and your trout is ready to serve! We served it with fresh lemons, green beans, and zucchini!

Ingredients:

2 large artichokes
Juice of 3 lemons, divided
3/4 cup butter
2 shallots, minced
2 large cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup dry white wine
3 1/4 cups breadcrumbs
1/3 cup Italian parsley, washed and dried, finely chopped
1/3 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Begin by rinsing the artichokes thoroughly under cold water. Next, trim off just enough of the stem side to make a nice base, so the artichoke can stand upright. Peel off any tough leaves towards the bottom near the stem.

With a sharp knife, trim off the top inch of the artichoke, where most of the thorns are gathered. With a pair of scissors, trim off the thorney tip of each leaf.

Fill a stock pot with about two inches of water and a pinch of salt. Cover and bring to a boil. Add your artichokes - stem end up - and reduce heat to simmer, cover the pot and cook artichokes for 30 minutes, just shy of tender. They will finish cooking in the oven. Once they are done steaming, drain in a colander stem side up, letting any excess water drain out.

While the artichokes are steaming, preheat the oven to 375°F. Melt the butter in a large saute pan over low-medium heat. Let it simmer for about 3 minutes, until it begins to brown. Add the shallots and garlic and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Pour in the wine, stir and let this simmer on low heat for 4 minutes. Add the breadcrumbs and parsley, and about half the lemon juice. Stir to blend and remove from the heat. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and set aside to cool. Once cooled, mix in the parmesan cheese.

When the artichokes are cool enough to handle, peel back the leaves into the center, just enough so you can see down to the choke (the tiny hairs in the bottom center of the artichoke). With a spoon, scoop out the choke until the inside is clean.

Place the artichokes in a baking dish, sitting upright on their bases. Use a spoon and/or your hands to carefully fill the center of each artichoke with the stuffing, packing it in to get as much in as possible. Then fill all of the spaces between the leaves as best as you can. Mound any remaining stuffing on top of each one.

Bake at 375 for 15-20 until the breadcrumbs are golden brown. You can serve whole, or cut in half lengthwise. Drizzle with the remaining lemon juice and enjoy.
