Calzones

calzones

…calzones, empanadas, meat pies etc. There is not one answer to what you called a stuffed savory pie, but I’m calling these calzones today :) I enjoy making pizza from time to time but lately, I been stuck on the calzones tip! I have to admit, these were so much fun to make that I actually made them 3 times in one week! My husband LOVED these things. It’s a great snack and even better the next day when you warm them up.

The ones I made in the photo are 2 kinds: sausage/chorizo with mozzarella & chicken w/ cheddar n’ broccoli. My sincere apologizes for not cutting one in half to show you the filling but I’m sure you get the idea!

Stuffed chicken breast, micro green salad & fingerling potatoes

stuffed chicken breast, microgreen salad & fingerling potatoes

This is my second recipe using local farmer’s market produce. I picked up some awesome micro greens that tasted like wasabi, radish and peas, then tossed it with a great lemon vinaigrette. I also pan seared some fingerling potatoes in some chorizo grease (he he) that I used to make a yummy stuffing for my chicken breast. After an hour later, BAM! A meal fit for a king :)

Stir fry medley

Stir fry medley

My mom makes this delicious Chinese stir fry using chicken, shrimp and fish cakes. For some reason, I just can’t replicate her dish when I make it at home. It must be missing here love :( I surely miss my mom as she is 800 miles away but when I cook Chinese, she is always on my mind. This dish is dedicated to her, minus a few ingredients she throws in. It still turned out yummy but not as yummy as her cooking :)
