How To:

Brown Hamburger

To brown hamburger, you need ground beef (or ground turkey or ground chicken), a large skillet, and a spatula or spoon. Put the defrosted beef into the skillet (or pan) and turn the burner on to Medium-High heat. Then begin to gradually break up the chunks of meat using your spatula. You should start the hear the meat sizzle and even see some of the pink turning to brown. As the meat cooks it will release juices, so don’t worry if you’re meat is soon swim-ming! Once all of the meat is cooked thoroughly, there shouldn’t be any pink left on the beef. Next you want to drain the meat. This is most easily done by using a colander. If you don’t have a colander then you can carefully drain off the liquid with the help of your spatula or even use a small plate to hold the meat back as you pour. When the meat is drained, add it to what-ever dish you’d like.

Caramelize Onions

First start by chopping or slicing the onion, in whatever size you’d like. To do this, use a large chef’s knife and a cutting board (or if you have a vegetable chopper, you can use that.) Once the onions are cut, take out a large skillet and drizzle it with a little bit (.5 Tablespoons) of Ex-t ra Virgin Olive Oil (vegetable oil will also work.) Heat the skillet over Medium to Medium-High heat. Once the oil is hot, add in the onions. Occasionally stir the onions. The onions are finished when they appear translucent with some brown color on them. Caramelized onions are great on steaks, burgers, stir fry, or any Mexican dish.

Boil Pasta

There are many ways to do this. One of the better ways of cooking pasta is to fill a large pot with wa-t er. Then set the pot on a burner on high heat. Once the water has boiled, add your pasta. (If you are using spaghetti or any long pasta, a handful is a little over one serving.) When you add the pasta, turn the heat down so that the water does not boil over. Now is the time to add seasoning, so to the boiling pasta, add a pinch of salt. Continue to check the pasta either by feeling or tasting the noodles because different pastas have varying cooking times. When the pasta is done, take it off the burner, and drain the pasta in a colander. (If you don’t have a colander, you can use a slotted spoon to keep the pasta in the pot as you pour out the water.) Do not rinse the pasta! Now the pasta is ready, so you can add chicken or sauce or herbs. If you are not using the pasta right away it would be best to add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil to keep the pasta from sticking.

If you don’t feel like waiting for water to boil, you can put your pasta into a microwave safe bowl, cover it with water and a paper towel, and put it in the microwave. Microwave on high for 2 minute intervals until your pasta meets your standards. This may take up to ten minutes depending on the strength of your microwave.
