Diamond Sevens Ranch Dressing Recipes

Steps:

• Position a rack on the lowest part of the oven. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Mix together the onion powder, paprika, allspice, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Rub the spice mix all over the brisket.
• Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the oil and then the brisket. Sear on all sides to a deep golden brown, about 7 minutes. Nestle the bay leaves, onions and carrots around the brisket. Pour the tomatoes and cola over the meat and vegetables and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook until the meat is very tender, about 3 hours.
• Uncover the pot and let the meat and vegetables rest in the juices until no longer steaming, about 30 minutes. Slice the brisket against the grain into 1/4-inch slices.
• Serve the brisket slices on pretzel rolls buns with Homemade Ranch and pickled jalapenos.
• Mix together the yogurt, mayonnaise and pickle juice, if using in a small bowl. Add the parsley, dill, chives and onion powder and mix until smooth and combined.

Steps:

• Position a rack in the lowest part of the oven. Preheat the oven to 325˚ F. Make the brisket: Mix together the onion powder, paprika, allspice, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Rub the spice mix all over the brisket.
• Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and then the brisket. Sear on all sides until a deep golden brown, about 7 minutes. Nestle the bay leaves, onions and carrots around the brisket. Pour in the tomatoes and cola and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook until the meat is very tender, about 3 hours.
• Meanwhile, make the ranch dressing: Mix together the yogurt, mayonnaise and pickled jalapeño juice, if using, in a small bowl. Add the parsley, dill, chives and onion powder and mix until combined. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Uncover the pot; let the meat and vegetables rest in the juices for about 30 minutes. Remove the brisket and slice against the grain into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Serve the brisket on pretzel buns with the ranch dressing and pickled jalapeños.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9- by 13- by 2-inch baking dish.
• Place the bread cubes on a large baking sheet and toast in the oven until lightly brown, 30 minutes, turning once after 15 minutes. Set aside to cool. Raise the oven temperature to 450 degrees F.
• In a medium skillet, saute the onions in the turkey fat until translucent and softened but not browned, about 5 minutes. In a very large bowl, crumble the Buttermilk Cornbread, toasted bread cubes and cracker crumbs. Add the onions and eggs and toss with a fork until mixed. Add 3 cups of the broth and mix it well, adding more as needed to make a very moist but not soupy dressing. Season with salt and pepper. Bake in the prepared pan until slightly browned, about 15 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Pour 2 tablespoons of the oil into a well-seasoned 9-inch cast-iron skillet and place over medium-high heat. Put the cornmeal in a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the cornmeal and add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. With a fork, stir in enough of the buttermilk to make a batter that is thick but can be easily poured into the hot skillet. You may not need all 3 cups.
• Carefully pour the batter into the skillet. The oil will come up around the edges. Use the back of a spoon to smooth this over the top of the batter. Continue to heat on the stovetop for 1 minute, and then transfer the skillet to the oven and bake the cornbread until browned on top, about 20 minutes. Immediately turn the cornbread out onto a cooling rack to keep the crust crisp.

Steps:

• Place an oven rack in the middle position and preheat the oven to broil. Spray a cooling rack with nonstick cooking spray and place it on top of a baking sheet.
• Whisk the eggs with the flour, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, chili powder, garlic powder and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a medium bowl. In a large bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and Parmesan. Drain the dill pickles and pat dry with paper towels. Working in batches, toss the pickles in the egg mixture so they are fully coated. Remove the pickles, letting the excess egg drip off, and transfer to the breadcrumb mixture. Toss to fully coat. Spread the pickles out on the prepared cooling rack in a single layer (with none overlapping).
• Place the baking sheet on the middle rack in the oven and broil until the tops of the pickles are a crisp golden brown, about 4 minutes. Flip the pickles and continue to cook until crisp golden brown all over, about 4 minutes.
• Serve warm with the Diamond Sevens Ranch dressing.
• In a blender, blend the mayonnaise with the milk, vinegar, parsley, dill, salt, garlic powder, garlic salt, onion powder and black pepper until smooth, about 2 minutes.

Steps:

• For the wings: Position oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Line 2 large baking sheets with wire racks.
• Toss the wing parts with a little salt, then arrange them on the racks on the prepared baking sheets in a single layer. Roast the wings, switching the position of the baking sheets halfway through, until golden brown and very crispy, 45 to 55 minutes.
• For the bourbon barbecue sauce: Meanwhile, combine the ketchup, bourbon, brown sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire, mustard, paprika and garlic powder in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Take off the heat and stir in the butter; transfer to a large bowl.
• For the sticky sesame sauce: Whisk together the hoisin, honey, sesame seeds, butter, sesame oil and sriracha in a large bowl.
• For the sriracha ranch: Stir together the mayonnaise, sour cream, sriracha and garlic powder in a small bowl; top with the chives.
• To finish the dish: Add half of the wings to the bowl with the barbecue sauce and half to bowl with the sesame sauce; toss to coat. Transfer to a serving platter and serve with the sriracha ranch.

Steps:

• Combine the mayonnaise, milk, parsley, dill, vinegar, salt, garlic powder, garlic salt and pepper in a blender and process until smooth, about 2 minutes. Measure out 3/4 cup of the ranch dressing and set the remainder aside for serving at the table.
• Fill a turkey injector with the 3/4 cup ranch dressing and inject 2 tablespoons of the dressing into each thigh of the turkey, 1 tablespoon into each drumstick and 3 tablespoons into each breast. Let the turkey stand at room temperature for 30 minute to let the dressing soak into the meat. Discard any of the unused ranch dressing in the injector (it has been in contact with the raw turkey).
• Mix together the olive oil and melted butter in a small bowl. Brush the turkey with the oil mixture and then sprinkle with salt.
• Preheat an oil-less fryer for cooking (alternatively, follow oven-roasting directions below). Place the turkey breast-side up in the fryer with the legs in the deepest part. Cook the turkey until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the breast reaches 160 degrees F, about 2 hours. (The breast cooks slower than the legs in the oil-less fryer; carryover cooking will cook it the rest of the way through.) Remove the basket insert with the turkey and let the bird rest at least 30 minutes over a roasting pan. Remove the turkey from the basket, carefully dislodging any parts of the turkey that are touching the basket so the skin does not tear. Carve the turkey and serve with the reserved ranch dressing or gravy.
• Alternatively, roast the turkey in the oven: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Inject the turkey with the dressing as directed above and set it in a roasting pan. Roast, basting every 30 minutes, until a meat thermometer inserted in the thigh reaches 160 degrees F, about 3 hours (the carryover cooking will cook it the rest of the way through). Transfer to a carving board and let rest 30 minutes before carving.

Steps:

• Mince the garlic with a knife and then sprinkle on the salt and mash it into a paste with a fork.
• In a bowl, combine the garlic paste, mayonnaise, sour cream, parsley, dill, chives, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, vinegar, paprika, cayenne and hot sauce. Add the buttermilk to desired consistency and mix to combine, tasting frequently and adjusting seasonings as needed. Chill for a couple of hours before serving, thinning with more buttermilk if needed.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, chives, parsley, dill, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving.
