As I mentioned earlier in the week, the department store Kohl's let me pick out a few items to review from their Food Network line of products. I was like a kid in a virtual candy store trying to choose, but one of the items I finally decided on was this Mini Food Processor (just searched for it online and it might be sold out!) because I didn't own one. This little guy holds 3 cups of food, has chopping, slicing and shredding options, is dishwasher safe and comes in a bunch of colors (which is usually important to us gals). I've only tried the chopping function so far but it worked like a dream!
I used my new food processor to make something I'm going to call Mushroom Crumbs. Like bread crumbs, only these are mushrooms. Do you understand? Great, you're smart. These would be a great gluten-free alternative to bread crumbs, actually! But I sprinkled these on top of a hot dog that was placed in a regular old, gluten-packed bun. It, was, delicious. All I did was throw some sliced mushrooms into my food processor, chopping them finely. Then I heated a thin layer of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, tossed the mushroom crumbs in, and lightly fried them for roughly 7 minutes until they got golden brown...
I removed them from the pan using a slotted spoon, let them rest on some paper towel, and seasoned them with salt and pepper. Done.
p.s. Always soak your hot dogs in beer prior to grilling. ALWAYS.
**Now remember, this week Kohl's is giving away $500 to a lucky winner. All you have to do to enter the sweepstakes is tweet about your favorite hot dog topping or show a photo on Instagram, using the handle @Kohls and the hashtag #CookWithKohls.

That looks like a magnificent hot dog!!
ReplyDeleteHow have you not had a food processor this whole time?! Game changer. I love my food processor!
ReplyDeleteI think I get my love for food and cooking from my mom, who was an amazing cook. She would start baking and freezing a month before Christmas in order to host our huge open house on Christmas afternoon. I watched and I learned...to this day I try not to procrastinate when it comes to entertaining. My cooking style is pretty much all over the place, although I'm definitely partial to Greek and Italian cuisine. Oh yes, throw a little Cajun in there too!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing great information on Food Processor
