Quest 99: Tamales with Tasty Meat Filling


Tamales are a lovely dish that can take on a number of flavors. Today we are using this as an opportunity to put tasty meat back on the menu. You remember tasty meat? It's a delicious menu item of Crescent Island. Anyways, on the off chance have some tasty meat laying around, these tamales are delicious and can be made in bulk - cuz this recipe make a lot! And frozen for another day. I recommend having a tamale party and divide the tamales among friends - plus you have helpers to get this all done.

Quest 95: Crescent Island Tropical Meatballs


On my last trip to Crescent Island in Oracle of Ages, I admired the tropical theme and started thinking about recipes that involved pineapple and other tropical fruits. I also like the flavors of sweet and sour, but it is hard to find at a restaurant that is gluten free. So with all of this in mind, I give you Crescent Island Tropical Meatballs - Enjoy!

Gear!
1 1/2 lb ground beef
3/4 c GF bread crumbs
1/2 c finely minced onion
1 egg
1 t course salt
1/4 c milk
1/2 t freshly grated ginger
2 T cornstarch
1/2 c dark brown sugar
1 can pineapple chunks, in juice
1/3 c white vinegar
1 T tamari or GF Soy Sauce
1/2 c sweet peppers, chopped

Quest!
Note: This is the stove top version of this recipe, but this can easily be transferred to a slow cooker application. Enjoy!
 Let's make the meatballs! In a bowl, add beef, bread crumbs, onion, egg, salt, ginger and milk. Mix together - though you don't want to over mix. Shape into 1 1/2 inch meatballs.

 Mix cornstarch and brown sugar in enamel dutch oven.
 Add pineapple juice - hold onto the chunks for now. Add in vinegar and tamari. Stir until smooth.
 Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until mixture become thick and bubbly. Boil for 1 minute.
 Add pineapple chunks and bell peppers - shredded carrots might be lovely as well.

 Add in meatballs and cook covered for 12-15 minutes until cooked through over medium heat. It might be nice to start some rice too.
 All cooked through!

Serve over rice and enjoy!

Quest 88: Loaded Cheesy Toto Potatoes


The Oracle of Ages Manga brings us potatoes beyond our friends Eenie and Meenie's garden. With this, I would like to share with you a make ahead side dish that is delicious and of course gluten free. It starts with making a cream of onion sauce and just gets yummier from there. Enjoy!


Gear!
1/4 cup chopped onions
1 clove garlic
4 T Butter
salt & pepper to taste
2 T. potato starch
1/4 cup cream
32 oz. diced potatoes
6 oz. Top the Tator or sour cream
4 slices bacon, crumbled
4 oz. cheddar cheese, shredded divided
1 T parsley
1/2 cup corn Chex cereal, crushed


Quest!

Melt butter in a saucepan. Add onions, garlic and begin to sweat with salt.
Cook onions until they get good color from continually cooking in the butter. Add potato starch to start thickening.
Add cream to onion mixture and bring just to a boil. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add frozen diced hash browns.
To the bowl, I added the onion mixture, top the tator, bacon bits, and shredded cheddar cheese.
Mix together until well mixed.
Separate into 3 disposable pans, sprayed with non stick spray.











Top the potatoes with the reserved shredded cheddar cheese and also the crushed corn Chex.
At this point, you can bake at 425 degree F for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Otherwise cover, and freeze for another day.
