made these Sausage Provolone Patties with Bruleed Cheese Grits and Fried Eggs. It was really good. They are both from last month's Food Network Magazine.

Sausage-Provolone Patties With Fried Eggs

Food Network Magazine

6 to 8 servings

6 ounces thick-cut bacon, cut into 3/4-inch pieces

3/4 pound pork tenderloin, cut into 3/4-inch pieces

2 tablespoons dry white wine

1 clove garlic, minced

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

1 teaspoon dried sage

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

3/4 teaspoon sugar

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

1/2 cup diced provolone cheese

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

6 to 8 large eggs

Put the bacon in a medium saucepan and fill with water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook 20 minutes; drain, rinse under cold water and pat dry. Combine the bacon, pork tenderloin, wine, garlic, parsley, sage, red pepper flakes, sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl; toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours.

Transfer the pork mixture to a food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the cheese. Form into 8 to 10 patties, about 2 inches wide and 1/2 inch thick. Put on a plate, cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour.

Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage patties and cook until browned on both sides, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm. Crack the eggs into the hot skillet, season with salt and pepper and fry until just set, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve with the sausage patties.

Here's the Bruleed Cheese Grits

Bruleed Cheese Grits

Food Magazine Network
6 to 8 servings

1 cup stone-ground grits
Kosher salt
1 1/2 cups grated cheddar or jarlsberg cheese (about 6 ounces)
1 1/2 cups grated gruyere cheese (about 6 ounces)
1 cup grated aged gouda cheese (about 4 ounces)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Put the grits in a large heatproof bowl and cover with water by 3 inches. Stir, then carefully pour off the water. Stir in 4 cups fresh water and cover the bowl tightly with aluminum foil.

Fill a large wide pot halfway with water and bring to a boil. Set the bowl on top of the pot (do not let the bowl touch the water) and reduce the heat to medium; cook the grits, undisturbed, 1 hour. Uncover, add a heaping teaspoon of salt and stir until smooth. Re-cover and continue cooking, adjusting the heat as needed to keep the water at a simmer, until the grits are tender and creamy, about 1 more hour; stir until smooth. Keep warm until ready to serve.

Just before serving, preheat the broiler. Combine the cheddar, gruyere and gouda in a bowl; add all but 1 cup of the cheese mixture to the grits along with the butter and stir until melted. Transfer to a 2-quart baking dish and sprinkle with the reserved cheese. Broil until the cheese is golden and bubbly, 5 to 8 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.

Last Saturday on Barefoot Contessa Ina had a guest Chef that

made Striped Bass but it was the Preserved Lemon Dressing I was interested in. I'm always looking for ways to use them and this is delicious. I drizzled it on roasted asparagus but I think it would be great on many other things.

1 preserved lemon, store-bought or homemade, cut in quarters
1 pint of mayonnaise
1/2 cup rice wine vinegar


Place the ingredients in a blender and blitz until the sauce is smooth and creamy.

It kills me that they use a pork tenderloin for that purpose. Like using filet mignon for hamburger.

 
But I've had sausages that were tougher and more rubbery than

hockey pucks. Just bought pork "tender"loin although usually it isn't. Just had to add my 2 cents! ;o)
