Answers: Appetizer: Pork Pinchos (Pincho is a spanish word for finger food, doesn't need a plate!. It is basically a kebob!. The recipes are below my suggestions)!.
Main Dish: Burgers
Sides: Potato Salad
Desert: Fruit Salad or Apple Pie!
Cocktail: Strawberry Fresco which is Smirnoff Citrus Vodka, fresh strawberries and lemonade mixed together served over top ice!.
Or you can do my other favorite, Venetian Sunset which includes Martini & Rossi Asti with pineapple and cherry juices!.
Pork Pincho Recipe
6 cloves garlic, peeled
1 Tbsp!. kosher salt
1 Tbsp!. hot smoked Spanish paprika ( found in the hispanic section in the store)
2 tsp!.ground coriander
2 tsp!. ground cumin
2 tsp!. Ras al Hanout (recipe for this underneath)
2 Tbsp!. olive oil
1 1/2 Tbsp!. sherry or white wine vinegar
Freshly ground black pepper
1 lb!. boneless pork shoulder
1!. Smash the garlic cloves; add the salt to garlic!. With the flat side of a large knife, mash and smear the mixture into a coarse paste!. In a medium bowl, mix garlic paste, paprika, coriander, cumin, and Ras al Hanout!. Whisk in oil, vinegar, and black pepper!.
2!. Trim excess fat from the pork; cut pork into 1-inch cubes!. Add pork to the spice mixture, tossing until all pieces are coated!. Cover; chill for at least 6 hours or overnight!.
3!. On each of the 6-inch skewers*, thread three or four pieces of pork!. Lightly brush the pork with additional oil!. For a charcoal grill, grill skewers on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals about 10 minutes or until the meat chars but is still moist, turning once halfway through grilling!.
( For a gas grill, preheat grill!. Reduce heat to medium!. Place skewers on grill rack over heat!. Cover; grill as above!.) Serve lemon wedges!. Makes 16 servings
HOW TO MAKE THE RAS AL HANOUT: In a small bowl, stir together 4 teaspoons five spice powder, 1 tablespoon ground cardamon, 1 tablespoon ground ginger, 1 1/2 teaspoons ground nutmeg, 1 1/2 teaspoons ground turmeric, and 1 1/2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
HOW TO MAKE THE BURGERS:
For the burgers:
1-1/2 pound ground beef
4 slices sweet onion
vegetable oil
8 slices American Cheese
4 crusty rolls, split and toasted
4 romaine lettuce leaves
4 slices tomato
Lightly shape ground beef into four 3/4"-thick patties!. Lightly brush onion with oil!. Place patties and onion on grill over medium, ash-covered coals!. Grill, uncovered, 13 to 15 minutes or until centers of patties are no longer pink and onions are tender, turning occasionally (you could also broil or pan broil the burgers)!. Season burgers with salt and pepper if desired, after turning!.
Approximately 1 minute before burgers are done, top each with 2 cheese slices!.
Meanwhile spread sauce on top half of each roll!. Line bottoms of rolls with lettuce and tomato; top with cheeseburger and onion!. Close sandwiches and serve!.
RECIPE FOR POTATO SALAD:
2 lbs new small red potatoes
3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar (see note)
1/4 cup red onion, sliced
1 shallot or green onion, minced
3 cloves garlic, finely minced
1/4 teaspoon each of fresh basil and oregano, minced
salt and pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons fresh parsley
1/2 green pepper, cut into thin strips
Because this potato salad contains no mayonnaise, it's a safe bet for your next picnic or cook-out for those long hot Summer days!. Be sure to taste and season well!.
Scrub potatoes, removing eyes and discarding any green ones!. Add 1 teaspoon salt to a medium saucepan of boiling water; gently lower potatoes into water and cook, with skins on until fork tender!. Rinse briefly under cold water!. Cut into quarters and return to hot pan!. Add olive oil and remaining ingredients!.
Stir for one minute over medium heat!. Set aside to cool!.
May be served warm or cold!.
Note: 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar and 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar may be substituted for the 3 tablespoons wine vinegar for a more piquant blend!. Add the garlic to the vinegar and let it sit for 30 minutes before preparation to help take the "edge" off!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Cooking Resources from yahoo answers cooking and drinking question and answer channel: i need a simple recipe to make about 20 apple/apple cinnamon empanadas for a class project. so no rum/liquor as i've read and no raisins. i can't fry them so i'd need a recipe that is for baking. try not to be vague because i'm not an experienced cook ...
