Other Newlywed recipes.

In the past week, we've tried quite a few Newlywed recipes.

Henry's Famous Spicy Wings were a huge hit. Peter invited a friend over to share these with a few beers since I'm not much for company when it comes to hot foods. Nevertheless, I did try one, and it was delicious enough for me to try another!

Henry's Famous Spicy Wings

4lbs. chicken wings

6T butter, divided

1C hot sauce

3T sriracha*

3T sambal oelek

1/4C packed dark brown sugar

3/4C panko/ bread crumbs

The recipe says to bake them, but it was a nice night and we fired up the grill instead. But, if you want to bake. . .

 Preheat the oven to 425. Bake wings for 40 minutes, or until golden

Melt 5T butter in skillet. Add hot sauce, sriracha, sambal oelek, and brown sugar. Heat for 5-7 minutes.

In separate skillet, melt remaining 1T butter. Add bread crumbs and toast until crisp and golden brown.

When wings are cooked, pour drippings into hot sauce mixture and stir to combine. (I omitted this part as we lost the drippings in the grill. Again, you wouldn't know they were missing).

Tos wings in sauce (reserve left-over sauce) and arrange on baking tray. Bake for 12 minutes or until sauce is caramelized and wings lightly crisped. Toss wings again in reserved sauce and sprinkle with toasted panko.

Another huge hit was the Prosciutto, Sage, and Parmesan Pinwheels. They were easy to make, baked quickly and tasted fabulous.

1 sheet puff pastry, defrosted

3 heaping tablespoons honey mustard

3oz. thinly sliced prosciutto

1T finely chopped fresh sage (I didn't have sage, so I substituted for dried savory)

3/4C grated Parmesan

1/4t freshly ground black pepper (again, not freshly ground was just fine)

Unfold pastry on lightly floured surface.

Spread mustard evenly over entire surface....

...arrange prosciutto evenly on top of the mustard.

Sprinkle the sage (or savory), Parmesan, and pepper evenly over the prosciutto.

Roll up one side of the pastry toward the center, stopping in the middle.
Repeat this step on the other side so that the two rolls meet in the center.

Carefully wrap the pastry in plastic wrap to help retain shape.
Refrigerate for 3 hours or freeze for ~30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 400.

Using a serrated knife slice the pastry into 1/2-inch pieces. Place on parchment-line cookie sheet, leaving space between each piece so they have room to puff up.

Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Voila.
