Inspired by: Milano Market “Triple S” Sandwich

I follow a lot of food Instagram accounts so I’m constantly finding new restaurants and recipes to try. A few months ago I saw a post for the “Triple S” sandwich from Milano Market, which is an italian deli on the Upper East Side, NY. The sandwich consists of breaded chicken or eggplant, pesto and vodka sauce and mozzarella.

The combination of vodka sauce, pesto and mozzarella cheese seemed like the perfect flavor combination that I knew I would have to replicate myself. Below is my take on the “Triple S” as both a sandwich and mini appetizer bite.

Triple S Sandwich – 2 servings

Ingredients

2 Boneless skinless chicken tenders (I buy from Trader Joe’s and usually end up with a package of 5 or 6 tenders so I use the rest for this lemon & olive oil baked chicken tender recipe)

1/4 cup Bread crumbs (I use Trader Joe’s Organic Bread Crumbs)

1 Egg

1/4 cup Flour (either all-purpose or whole wheat is fine) + seasonings of choice (I like smoked paprika and garlic powder)

1 Tablespoon pesto

1 1/2 tablespoons vodka sauce (I use Trader Joe’s Organic Vodka Sauce)

1 slice of mozzarella (fresh mozzarella is preferred, but really any type of cheese will work)

Bread/ roll of choice (I used Trader Joe’s focaccia with roasted tomato and parmesan)

Recipe

1. Set oven to 425°F

2. On one small plate put your flour and add a dash of any desired seasoning

3.Crack an egg into a small bowl and whisk

4. On another small plate put your bread crumbs

5. Dip your chicken tender into your flour, egg and breadcrumbs (I recommend following that exact order)

6. Bake breaded chicken tender for 20-25 minutes or until cooked through and no longer pink

7. Spilt roll in half. Put fresh mozzarella on one half of roll. Put breaded chicken tender on other roll and top with vodka sauce and pesto

8. Serve warm

“Triple S” Inspired Mini Focaccia Cup – Serving size: 2 mini muffin cups

Ingredients

2 cherry tomatoes, cut in thirds

2 tablespoons vodka sauce

1 tablespoon of pesto

bread of choice, cut using 1 inch round cookie cutter (I used Trader Joe’s focaccia with roasted tomato and Parmesan)

1 slice mozzarella (or cheese of choice), crumbled

Recipe

1. Set oven to 350°F

2. Cut bread using a 1 inch round cookie cutter, repeat one more time so you have two 1”  bread circles

3. Cut cherry tomatoes in thirds

4. Fit bread into two mini muffin tin cavities

5. Fill each bread cup with cherry tomatoes, pesto, vodka sauce and top with mozzarella

6. Bake for 6-8 minutes or until cheese is melted

7. Serve warm

East Village Dumpling Food Crawl

Today I’m introducing a new blog segment, which will feature different food crawls. I’m starting with New York Metro Area food crawls and then hopefully in the near future I’ll include some domestic and eventually international food crawls! For my inaugural crawl I went on a dumpling crawl in the East Village.

See below for a recap and pictures from the three spots I checked out during this food crawl.

Stop # 1: Mimi Cheng’s Dumplings – I started off the crawl with a combination of chicken and pork dumplings. I ordered the six piece 50/50 and chose the “Mimi Cheng”, which is organic chicken & zucchini dumplings and also the “reinvented classic”, which is pork, baby bok choy & cabbage dumplings.

Stop # 2: The Dumpling Shop – At the second stop I ordered six pieces of “the original”, which is pork, cabbage and chive dumplings.

Stop # 3: Drunken Dumpling – No dumpling crawl can be complete without soup dumplings so for my third and final stop I ordered the six piece pork soup dumplings, which is pork dumplings in pork bone broth.

Chocolate Mousse Cookie Cups – 3 Ways

I recently discovered I could make delicious and super easy chocolate mousse by adding whipped cream to chocolate ganache (see recipe below) and then putting in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes! Ever since making this discovery I’ve been experimenting with lots of different chocolate mousse sugar cookie cups. See below for some of my favorite variations.

1. S’mores Chocolate Mousse Sugar Cookie Cups – serving: 6 cups

Ingredients

Betty Crocker sugar cookie mix + ingredients listed on package

Homemade Whipped Cream

1/4 cup heavy cream

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon sugar

Chocolate Ganache –

2 tablespoons heavy cream

1/4 cup chocolate chips

Toppings (optional) –

Toasted mini marshmallows

Crushed graham crackers

Recipe

1. Preheat oven 350 degree Fahrenheit

2. Make sugar cookie dough by following directions on packaging

3. Put 1 1/2 tablespoons of sugar cookie dough into each mini muffin tin cavity

3. Bake sugar cookie cups for 15 minutes or until golden brown

4. While cups are in the oven make your chocolate mousse by making your homemade whipped cream and chocolate ganache.

To make homemade whipped cream (you can skip this step and use store bought whipped cream instead) put heavy cream in a medium sized bowl. Using a hand mixer whip heavy cream until soft peaks form (around 1.5 minutes). Once whipped add vanilla and sugar for taste.

To make chocolate ganache put heavy cream and chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 15-30 seconds until cream is hot and chocolate chips are melted. Mix throughly until fully incorporated and your chocolate mixture is completely smooth.

Add whipped cream (leaving about 2 tablespoons in a separate bowl reserved for topping) to your bowl of chocolate ganache. Mix throughly.

Put your chocolate mousse mixture in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes or overnight.

5. Once sugar cookies are baked let cool for at least 10 minutes and then fill each cup with 1 heaping tablespoon of chocolate mousse.

6. Top each cup with toasted mini marshmallows (I do this by putting mini marshmallows on a fork or wooden skewer and putting over a hot stove burner) and some crushed mini marshmallows and enjoy!

    3. Meanwhile, cut tomatoes and scallion and put into a bowl. Add black beans and corn to bowl.

    4. Make cumin-lime dressing by adding all ingredients and mixing

1/4 teaspoon of honey

Optional:

2. Heat a pan with oil (I use vegetable oil or coconut oil spray) and add shrimp. I sauté shrimp for about 3 minutes per side. Once shrimp is cooked through turn off heat.

3. While shrimp is cooking add broccoli to microwave safe bowl. Microwave for for 30 seconds and then add a dash of lime juice to taste. If broccoli is fully cooked through put to the side. If not add edamame, peas and carrots and microwave for another 30 seconds or until veggies are cooked through.

I usually take the pan out halfway through and shake and then put back into oven to cook the remainder of the time.

2. While cauliflower is baking make quinoa. Start by washing 1/2 cup quinoa in a fine mesh strainer and put into a pot and add 1 cup of water. I like to add a little olive oil as well. Bring pot to a boil and then turn to a simmer and cover for 15 minutes.
