Italian Panzerotti is a fried inside out pizza, as they were described to me when I first had them. These are fried pizza pies but the filling is inside, like a fried stromboli stuffed pizza crust.
The panzerotti is often mistaken for the much larger calzone and also called inside out pizza.
They look alike and they’re both from Italy.
The panzerotti, however, is thought to have started in a small area of Apulia, a southern area next to the Adriatic Sea.
Starting out with homemade pizza dough, stuffed then fried, a delicious inside out pizza is born which is basically what these are.
Interesting fact: panzerotti are so popular in North America that more people consume them in the US and Canada than they do in Italy.
They’re also the basis for the frozen food or what they call hot pockets here in American.
While calzones are more commonly the size of a medium pizza, panzerotti’s remain small and sandwich size.
They tend to be about 9″ inches in diameter and semi-circled.
Panzerotti is essentially salted, deep-fried, pockets of dough filled with melted mozzarella cheese, tomato sauce, and your pick of “toppings.”
During the frying process, they create a pocket of steam that needs to be released prior to eating as they are extremely hot inside like a fritter.
Panzerotti are so easy to eat while on-the-go it can be a great lunch, snack or a whole meal can be made with them
Eggplant can be a fantastic substitute for meat in many vegetarian meals for those who refrain from eating meat.
The characteristics of this fruit have many edible tiny seeds in it and the skin is also edible so it doesn't have to be peeled, however, I do peel it on occasion.
Cooking can be done by grilling, steaming, stir-frying, pan-fried, deep-fried, roasted, stewed curried and pickled.
It can even be mashed to make dips or stuffed with rice and meats.
Eggplant can have a bitter taste and has a very sponge-like consistency but will be tender when cooked and absorbs the flavors it's cooked in easily.
One of the tips to get the bitterness out is salting the sliced fruit before cooking may remove the bitterness, that method has always worked for me.
German Potato Salad is a tangy delicious sliced potato with an almost salt and vinegar-like taste.
I have made this style salad for more than 20 years and if you love spuds this is such a great choice for a side dish with the meat you make.
We love this creamy vinegar sauce and it really is a love it or hates it kind of food.
Once you make this old fashioned recipe, you will crave it again and again and it's so easily done on the stovetop.
We are big potato fans and I like to change them up often when making my mom's burger recipe or some thick juicy pork chops these potatoes are perfect for a side dish.

After all these years, it still a family favorite recipe.

It’s called a standing rib roast because to cook it, you position the roast majestically on its rib bones in the roasting pan.
Beautifully marbled with fat, this roast is rich, juicy, and with this marinade a melt in your mouth tender roast.
It’s also very easy to cook.
Starting the roast in the oven at a high temperature of 450 degrees to get a good sear on the outside of the roast and then you finish cooking it on a lower temperature of 325 degrees.
