Super Bowl Sunday 2016 Recipes!
The Super Bowl is a fun time to get together with friends, family and neighbors to cheer on the two best teams in the NFL! It’s also a time when party hosts settle for frozen pre-made snacks and appetizers. Never fear because I’ve created the ideal Super Bowl Menu with food options that are certain to please every fan at the party!
You can check out my feature on KTLA’s Morning News Program, where I share a variety of party food ideas that are a far cry from the regular old chips and salsa.
Here are some of my favorite Super Bowl Party Recipes:
Quick & Easy Bruschetta
Yield: 40 Pieces
- Red Peppers, roasted and peeled: 6 each
- Gorgonzola cheese: 6 ounces
- Olive oil: 1/4 cup
- Baguette, sliced: 2 each
- Salt and pepper: 1/2 teaspoon each
Method:
1. Roast the peppers over a direct flame until black. Place the peppers in a container and cover. Let the peppers stand, covered, until cool enough to handle.
2. Remove the skin from the peppers. Cut the peppers in half and remove the seeds and membranes. Slice the peppers into 1/2 inch strips and place them in a clean bowl. Coat the peppers with oil, salt and pepper.
3. Preheat an oven to 350 degrees. Slice the baguette into 1/4 inch wide slices and brush the slices with olive oil. Arrange the slices on a baking sheet and toast for about 10 minutes, or until the bread is crispy.
4. Top the bread slices with peppers and crumbled cheese. Return to the oven and increase temperature to 500 degrees. Bake until the cheese is melted. Serve.
Beef and Red Onion Kabobs with Hummus
Yield: 4 Servings
NY strip steak, cut into 2-inch cubes 2 pounds
Small red onion, cut into eighths 2 each
Ground cumin 1 Tablespoon
Olive oil 5 Tablespoons
Hummus
Chick peas, drained 14 oz can
Garlic, peeled and sliced 1 clove
Lemon juice 1 lemon
Olive oil 1/3 cup
Salt to taste
Method:
1. Place the cubes of beef in a large bowl and toss with 4 tablespoons of olive oil. Sprinkle the cumin over the beef and mix to coat the cubes thoroughly. Let marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes or overnight in the refrigerator.
2. Remove the meat from the marinade and thread the cubes onto skewers, alternating meat cubes with wedges of onion – 4 to a skewer.
3. Brush the kabobs lightly with the remaining tablespoon of oil and grill on the grill pan, turning occasionally until they are nicely browned, about 10-20 minutes.
4. To make the hummus, combine all ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth. Serve at room temperature with the kabobs.
