Open Faced Plt Recipes

Steps:

• For the bread: Preheat the grill to 400 degrees F.
• Lay out the dough on a work surface and sprinkle with the olive oil, parsley, rosemary, garlic, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Fold it over itself and roll out or just press with your hands to make a square that could fit four slices of bread, because that's the goal. (You will eventually want to cut this into fourths to serve.) Place on the direct heat of the grill and cook until it releases from the grill and is slightly golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook until done, 5 to 8 minutes.
• For the bacon: Mix the brown sugar, cayenne pepper, zest and a few grinds of black pepper in a bowl. Press the bacon into this mixture and place on a piece of nonstick aluminum foil on the grill. Cook, without flipping, until the bacon is crispy, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from the grill and roughly chop.
• For the tomatoes and lettuce: Brush the tomato slices and lettuce with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper. Place the tomatoes and lettuce directly on the grill and cook, flipping halfway through, until the tomatoes and lettuce are slightly charred, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Build the sandwiches: Mix the mayonnaise, honey, lemon juice and sriracha seasoning in a small bowl. Chop the grilled tomatoes and lettuce. Add the chopped tomatoes to the bread and press them slightly into the bread, then add the chopped bacon and piles of lettuce. Drizzle with the sriracha mayonnaise. Cut into four pieces and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Let the dough soften at room temperature for 10 minutes. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lay the pie crust on the parchment paper. Spread the fig jam on the crust, leaving a 2-inch clean border around the edge. Arrange the plums on top of the jam. Fold the crust's edge inward, pleating as needed; leave the center of the tart exposed. Press the dough lightly to seal.
• Whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl; brush the egg wash on the dough and sprinkle with the sugar. Bake until the crust is cooked through and golden brown, about 35 minutes. Serve warm with ice cream, if desired.

Steps:

• Place the roast, water, onion soup mix, and celery salt in a crock pot and cook on low for 4-6 hours.
• Once the roast is done, place it on a platter, cover it and set aside.
• Place the garlic bread of your choice and bake on a baking sheet as instructed on the package.
• In a saute pan melt the butter on medium heat. Once the butter is melted add the flour and whisk to combine making sure to break up any lumps. Once the flour is completly incorporated into the butter pour the beef broth from your crock pot into the saute pan making sure to whisk it as you add the broth so that there are no lumps in the gravy. Cook the gravy on medium heat whisking it occasionaly to keep it from sticking at the bottom of the pan.
• While the gravy is cooking, start shredding your beef in about 2 inch chunks. Once the gravy has reduced by half add the chunks of beef in with the gravy and carefully stir to combine.
• The garlic toast should now be done, pull it out of the oven and set aside.
• Once the gravy and beef have come back to a simmer, place a slice of garlic toast on each serving plate and top them with about 3 tbsp of the beef and gravy and serve.
• Note: I serve these sandwiches with mashed potatoes and a vegetable medley but they are perfect served as just a sandwich. I have also added sauteed onions to the gravy while it reduces which also is wonderful.
