Kentuck Knob

Mixologist Alyssa McGrath shares another of her fantastic inventions with us, the Kentuck Knob.

It’s a combination of her love for Western PA and Old Overholt’s locally made rye, as well as her love of the versatility of Italian digestivos! You will enjoy the floral element of Montenegro mixing with the spicy nature of the rye.

What is Kentuck Knob?

Kentuck Knob is a stunning example of organic architecture by the legendary American architect Frank Lloyd Wright. This house comes from 1956, in a unique Usonian-style. Its location nestles into the side of a hill in the Laurel Highlands of Pennsylvania. The house is characterized by its hexagonal shape, use of local stone and wood, and a seamless integration with its natural surroundings.

  • 1 medium onion, peeled and quartered
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (or melted butter)

Optional:

  • 1 lemon, quartered

  • 1 small bag of baby carrots (or 6 large carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces)
  • 1 large onion, peeled and quartered
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and Pepper


Instructions

To prep the chicken:

  1. Preheat oven to 350° F.
  2. Season chicken cavity with salt and pepper then stuff with garlic and the quartered onion; if desired add lemon pieces, celery, and fresh herbs to the cavity.
  3. Place chicken (breast-side up) in a large roasting pan, tuck the wings underneath the bird and tie the legs together with kitchen string.
  4. Brush or rub olive oil over the outside of the chicken and season liberally with salt and pepper.

To prep the vegetables:

  1. Place potatoes, carrots and onion in a large bowl, add olive oil, salt and pepper; toss to coat.
  2. Place the seasoned vegetables in the roasting pan around the chicken.

To assemble and roast:

  1. Place the chicken and vegetables in the 350° preheated oven.
  2. Roast for approximately 20 minutes per pound (1 hour and 40 minutes for a 5-pound bird), or until the inner thigh meat reaches an internal temperature of 165° F.
  3. Once the chicken is at the proper temperature, remove it from the oven and place it on a cutting board.
  4. Lightly tent with aluminum foil and let rest for 10 minutes before carving. Place vegetables in a warmed serving dish.

For the pan sauce (optional):

  1. To make a lovely pan sauce, place the roasting pan on the stove and heat over medium high.  Deglaze with ½ cup chicken stock or white wine, scraping up the tasty browned bits.
  2. Cook for 2-3 minutes to slightly reduce then finish by whisking in a tablespoon of butter.
  3. Carve the chicken and serve with the roasted vegetables. Drizzle with pan sauce if desired.

Notes

Cooking Tip: Roast 2 chickens for plenty of leftovers!  Meat can be removed and frozen for future use, and the bones can be utilized to make homemade stock.

  • Author: Rhonda Schuldt

Marinated Oven-Roasted Beef Brisket


  • Author: Rhonda Schuldt

Description

This recipe is from the Hays House, an historic restaurant & tavern in Council Groves, Kansas –  “serving townsfolk & travelers on the Santa Fe Train since 1857”.  It was a favorite stop of Rhonda’s parents when visiting relatives.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 5-lb beef brisket (or larger, the marinade can accommodate up to a 10-lb)
  • 1 cup liquid smoke
  • 1 cup soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup celery seeds
  • 1/3 cup black pepper
  • 1/3 Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 ½ tbsp granulated garlic or garlic powder
  • 2 ½ tbsp onion salt


Instructions

  1. Place the brisket, fat side up, in a roasting pan lined with a large sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil (enough to wrap the brisket).
  2. Mix together remaining ingredients and pour over the brisket. Fold foil up and seal. Place in refrigerator overnight (do not open).
  3. Place the pan in a 300-degree preheated oven and roast for approximately 6 hours, or until fork-tender.
  4. After removing from the oven, let the brisket rest before slicing.
  5. To serve, slice against the grain.

Notes

Tougher cuts of meat need time to cook to break down the connective tissues.

An important rule of thumb is “low and slow” when roasting brisket or other tougher cuts of beef (flank steak, etc.).  For brisket, this means at temperature no higher than 300 degrees for 1 hour and 15 minutes per pound…or until it can easily be pulled apart with a fork. So, be patient, you will be rewarded!!

Ancho Chile Old Fashioned

A moody shot of two glasses of Ancho Chile Old Fashioned cocktails on a bar, with scattered sugar crystals on the surface.

Barry Young of Pennsylvania Pure Distilleries was listening to his taste buds in the development of recipes for his BLY 105 and Boyd & Blair Professional Proof 151 spirits. The vodka concoctions are recipes were easy, of course, but the 105 proof rum was new. It wanted something special as a complement. Enter an ingredient Barry enjoys cooking with in the kitchen at home: ancho chile peppers.

About This Ancho Chile Old Fashioned Recipe

“I love cooking with spices and had some at home. It worked very well the first time I tested it. My first restaurant test got an awesome response…and the rest is history,” he recalls. His Ancho Chile Liqueur went on to win a Gold Medal at the American Distilling Institute’s Judging of Craft Spirits Awards.

Barry suggests trying out the unique flavor with a spin on the classic old fashioned: “The peppers provide a great smoky flavor that mimics a whiskey so the blend of the ancho with orange and bitters really makes a delightful combination.”

Get out the shaker, people!

Pork & Shrimp Shumai

A plate of Pork and Shrimp Shumai dumplings hold with chopsticks with a sauce drizzled over top.

Chef Roger Li’s version of this traditional Chinese dumpling comes with with ground pork and shrimp, ginger and mirin. Choose your own dipping sauce for your Pork & Shrimp Shumai — we’re partial to fiery chili oils — and you’ve got a restaurant-worthy meal ready for dinner.

What is Shumai?

Shumai (or sometimes seen as siu mai) comes in a distinct cylindrical shape with an open top. You’ll at times find a small garnish of fish roe or a pea on top as well. The dumpling’s delicate, pleated wrapper is full of a savory mixture of finely minced pork, shrimp, or a combination of the two, plus ingredients like ginger, scallions, and shiitake mushrooms for seasoning. To cook this delicacy, you’ll want to steam Shumai dumplings only. This gives the wrapper a soft, tender texture and keeps the filling moist and juicy. It is a staple of dim sum cuisine across China, Hong Kong, and in Chinese restaurants worldwide.

After trying it on his pizza, he went back to Brooklyn to work on his own Hot Honey recipe, eventually bringing it to Paulie Gee’s. The Hot Honey craze that shows no sign of stopping.

Hot Honey Hot Toddy

A clear mug with a Hot Honey Hot Toddy inside featuring a metal spoon, cinnamon stick, and lemon round.

A Hot Toddy is the perfect fall or winter drink for winding down and cozying up to the cool air. The combination of warm whiskey, sweet honey, and tangy lemon is familiar and nostalgic. But, what if we upgraded it all with a hint of spice? Our Hot Honey Hot Toddy substitutes regular honey for hot honey. This recipe sends out a short wave of heat over you, adding a special nuance to this cocktail. Serve it along with a thrilling mystery novel, a blazing fireplace, and your favorite blanket.

How Does a Hot Toddy Help a Sore Throat?

The Hot Toddy is actually a remedy for many ailments since different ingredients effect the body in different ways. The hot water generates steam that can help to clear sinus congestion (much like tea) and provide some instant relief to a sore throat. The honey also acts as a natural demulcent, coating the throat and soothing the itchiness. Lemon juice also gives the body a boost of vitamin C and acidity that helps to cut through mucus. Finally, it’s no secret that whiskey can take your pain away. Its effect is almost that of a mild antiseptic, numbing the site slightly.
