SUPER BOWL...What's on your menu

Question

I love Super Bowl! More for the food than anything else (and the commericals!) 
This yesr we are doing something really different.

For muchies before dinner we will have some Grilled Stuffed Jalapenos, Hot Shrimp Cocktail and BBQ Sliders and to wash it all down Bermuda Rum Swizzle.

For dinner I am going to hook up a 2 whole beef shanks, low and slow all day then serve with with some root veggies, roasted potatotes with summer savory and Rosemary Johnny Cakes.

Followed by "Touch Down" Candy and Filled Cupcakes.

GO SAINTS!!!!

Answer

Do you have a recipie for the jalapenos?

Answer

We are boiling two or three sacks of crawfish, about ten pounds of shrimp, and we will have a half sack of oysters.

Answer

Queso dip, guacamole, buffalo wings, mini pork tenderloin sandwiches, and brownies. Looking a the list, I feel like I should throw a few vegetables out there too.

Answer

Since Superbowl for me also revolves around the food ; ) I'm really happy that this year the Saints are playing and this month's COTM happens to be Prudhomme's "Lousiana Kitchen", so everything will be NOLA/Louisiana inspired.

Cocktails will be classic New Orleans cocktails from Emeril's "Delmonico". I'll be making:
Ramos Gin Fizz
Sazerac
Old Fashioned
Milk Punch

Andouille & cream cheese stuffed jalapenos (from Emeril's "TV Dinners", p. 186)
http://www.emerils.com/recipe/3372/Andouille-Stuffed-Jalapenos

Recipes from "Louisiana Kitchen":
Cajun Meat Pies with Creole Filling, p. 128
Shrimp Remoulade, p. 286
Chicken and Andouille Gumbo, p 202 with rice

and ArizonaGirl is bringing muffuletta, and King Cake or beignets.

Answer

Appetizers- 
- hummus with veggies 
- fresh salsa and gucamole with tortilla chips (homemade) 
- drummettes or wings 

For the main course I'm making a huge pot of chili. Prob will serve brown rice with it. And sliders- made from turkey since I have a friend who can't have lots of red meat. Will also prob roast a big pan of vegetables. 

I need a good recipe for *baked* drummettes or wings. Anything....??

Answer

Love all the Saints fans!

I'm taking the following to a party:
Bourbon-glazed drumettes w/blue cheese sauce
Mini crab cakes w/remoulade sauce
Mini lamb meatballs w/yogurt sauce
Feta, cherry tomato, & oil-cured olive mini-kebobs
"Black-and-Gold" Brownies (blonde brownies w/dark chocolate chips; I'm piping a chocolate fleur-de-lis on each one)

Answer

Pulled pork sandwiches (http://indirectheat.blogspot.com/2009/08/pulled-pork-sandwiches.html), smoked lemon/limeade with tequila instead of bourbon (http://indirectheat.blogspot.com/2009/07/lazy-saturday-calls-for.html) and something for dessert. What should we have for dessert?

Answer

My menu will be:

Shrimp and Andoullile jambalaya
home made mini egg rolls w/duck sauce
asian chicken wings
potatoe skins w/cheese/bacon/sour cream/ chives
fresh veggie tray w/dip
hot mexican dip w/chips
pepperoni bites w/marinara sauce
platter of sandwich wraps (from Jersey Mike's - for the teens who won't get filled up otherwise)

Answer

Does anyone have ideas for Colts related desserts, ideally in individual servings? I've only done very minimal searching so far, but the one big thing that keeps popping up again and again is a Sugar Cream Pie, which I really don't have much desire to make for this particular event. Anyone have any other suggestions for desserts that are either traditional to Indiana or which are somehow linked to the team/its players...even if only by color/decoration? Thanks!

Answer

i'm going big this year, as i'm expecting a lot of people...

spinach-artichoke dip
stuffed potato skins
mini-crab cake bites
spinach cheese balls
tomato basil and mozzarella salad
for the main course, to be made at half-time, Monte Cristos done to order
white chocolate raspberry brownies
gingerbread loaves (i can't not)
chocolate chip cookies
oatmeal cookies
chocolate football cookies
[luckily i can make all the desserts ahead]

Answer

Traditional New Orleans food, to hopefully provide good Karma for the Saints...

1) Jambalaya
2) Po-Boy Sliders
3) Beignets

Answer

I'm going to a friend's potluck party. They'll be BBQing. I'll be baking gougeres and a king cake kringle, except shaped like a horseshoe instead of an oval. I'm all for neutral desserts.

Answer

Just the two of us this year, so:
Sweet and Spicy drummettes, a Chow recipe
Zippy deviled eggs
Nachos with jalapeños, black beans, salsa, jack cheese and crema
Individual sweet potato tarts
Beer
Go Saints!!

Answer

Just the two of us as well. Going with a big pot of chili with fresh-baked French bread (my husband doesn't like cornbread. It's a mixed marriage, what can I say). A nice Chilean white for him, Harp for me.

And while I have nothing against the Saints, Peyton Manning uber alles. GO COLTS!

Answer

I'll be rubbing down my pork shoulder tonight for its slow smoke session on Sunday morning. With the pulled pork, I'll be making baked beans, vinegar based cole slaw, and once everyone has made sandwiches, I'll make a few pulled pork pizzas. During the ridiculously long pre-game, we'll have veggies & dip, cheese & salami, hummus, guacamole and plenty of beer. Enjoy everyone.

Answer

No guests for us, so I'm keeping it simple: chicken enchiladas suizas and pineapple chile margaritas.

Answer

Nachos with fresh salsa
Guacamole with finely diced beets
Chili (braised and shredded chuck roast), served with onions, crema, cotija
Smoked Pork Butt with fixings for pulled pork (vinegary "red" sauce, cole slaw, buns)
Oven potato chips cooked in duck fat
Buffalo Wings
Flourless Chocolate Cake with Creme Anglaise
Coconut Tres Leches Cake with Passionfruit Curd

Answer

Home Cured Pastrami, Tandoori Chicken, Smoked Roast Beef, Home Cured Canadian Bacon, Atomic Buffalo Turds, Violet Venom Slaw, Smoked Pineapple Rings. 

Violet Venom.. recipe by BBQ Bob at BBQ Guru... The toxi sweet aroma is awesome. 

10 Fresh Jalepenos
1 fresh Habenero
1 1/2 cups vinegar {I prefer white Balsamic}
1 small Carton Blueberries
splash of Lime Juice

Put that lot in blender, and mix until smooth. Use as you would any BBQ sauce. I like to include it in coleslaw. **I dont include a habenero.. and only use 5 Jalepenos.

Answer

My plan has been to make a taco bar. Three "holders", three fillings and a bunch of condiments.

Now that I'm reading this, I'm starting to rethink my NOLA theme.

DT

Answer

Chips with Guacamole and Salsa
Chicken Sausages in buns
Roasted Butternut and Chickpea Salad
Spicy Carmel Popcorn
Salted Carmel Ice Cream (homemade)

Looking over this, I think I need another appetizer. Not a fan of wings.
Any suggestions? I would like to do something Louisiana-inspired if possible.

Answer

Nothing much is set in stone just yet, but here is the preliminary plan:
on Saturday the following will go into the smoker- pork picnic shoulder, duck legs, a family pack of chicken leg quarters, and some brats. Now, what to do with that stuff on Sunday is the question. Hopefully the chicken will make it into a guajillo/ancho Chile Colorado with corn and potatoes, tortillas on the side. Some of the pulled pork will go on nachos, with jalapenos et al. And the smoked brats are for sandwiches with horseradish mustard and pickled cabbage. And there will be beer, some of which will be smoked too!

Answer

Shrimp and grits for brunch. Maybe I'll stir up some wicked alcoholic stuff, too.
Pounded, breaded, paneed porkchops to honor Indianapolis. I might try to sneak in a stone crab claw or two in honor of Miami. We'll see.

Answer

So far the menu includes:

Veggies w remoulade for dipping 
Bacon wrapped jalapeno thingies from PW
Nachos & guacamole (because they're a football staple)
Nomadchowwoman's bourbon glazed wings 
perhaps bourbon bread pudding and/or blondies?
and well...maybe more from this thread. Looks like I'm pretty far behind the rest of you but very inspired by this thread! :)

Answer

lol....I did start a thread on this too...I gave up on finding Indianapolis Recipes: the best my coworker from there could come up is little Smokies cooked in beer and barbque sauce in the crockpot. No, not interested.

So we're sticking with the team that has our hearts this year: Red Beans and Rice and Po'Boys. Oh, and quacamole to start...just because it isn't a SuperBowl without quacamole. Some really good spiced pistachios that my husband found at the Mexican Market for nibbles. And chips and salsa with the quac, of course....Oh, and hubby just asked for an Indian Salad, a carrot/tomato/onion kachumber: "because I feel like it." Doesn't quite go with the New Orleans semi-theme but I'm sure it will taste good.

For dessert: birthday cake and ice cream, as hubby has a birthday a few days later and I figured this way he could celebrate with his friends. I'm covering for the surprise by telling him that our friend is bringing her signature bread pudding (to keep with the New Orleans theme). I think he's going to be dissappointed to see its birthday cake instead...lol....but he's been talking about chocolate cake lately so hopefully he'll forgive the lack of bread pudding (and she has promised to give him a raincheck....:-)

Oh, and the most important detail: Hurricanes to start!! (the cocktail....).

Answer

Two kinds of wings - Sticky Sesame - I have done these many times and love them, and some baked Alton Brown style wings with a Franks based sauce. I have loved adding some soy sauce - you don't know its in there but it gives a good depth. Also doing mini skins on fat slices of potatoi that i brown first (like a cottage fry), and peanut butter pie. Of course I am just the cook for seven teenage boys - nothing too fancy just the classics.

Answer

Cheddar and Bacon Stuffed Jalapenos
Spicy Corn Dip with tortilla chips
Beer Cheese with veggies
A midwestern classic - chili a la my mom and this article:
http://www.foodandwine.com/articles/ode-to-the-one-pot-dinner-party
Cornbread muffins
and home-made Carmel Corn and plain buttered popcorn

Go Colts!

Answer

Think I am going to add some sort of wings to my menu now.

Looking at doing those Burbon wings, that looks awesome

Answer

Okay, my final menu is as follows

Veggie tray (celery, carrot, pepperoncini, olives, sweet bell pepper, smoked cheddar, peppercorn ranch dressing)

Rotel

Gumbo (andouille, scallops, chicken, shrimp) in honour of New Orleans

Fried Pork Tenderloin Sandwich (slider style) in honour of Indy

Bread pudding with bourbon sauce (which Mrs. Sippi requested)

Answer

Geaux Saints! Food this year:

Our family recipe for Creole Gumbo
Muffalettas - Central Grocery style
Zulu King Cake

Answer

We went Anti-Nosh at the last minute, and thawed out one of our free-range, natural roasting chickens. Dh cooked it 40 cloves of garlic style in his beloved Romertof, and we had Ina Garten's roasted Brussels sprouts (God, those are delicious!) and just some simple brown basmati rice, plus a nice Vouvray. 

Not your typical football meal but ever so much "forgiving" in the morning, I bet!

Answer

My world famous black bean/pork butt/chuck roast chili with with white cheddar, cilantro, lime, and my mama's sweet buttermilk cornbread. Was a project, but a project most worthwhile. Also highly recommend using the DVR to start watching the game about 90 minutes after kickoff, fast-forwarding through all the commercials. The decent ones will all be on 1000 websites tomorrow anyway. Congrat's, N'awlins.

Answer

I'm convinced all the Hounds w/their thoughtful SB menus and New Orleans-inflected food fueled the vibe that blew the Brees that drove our Boys to victory. 
Our headline said it so well: AMEN! 

Now to the Mardi Gras menu planning . . .

Answer

It was just my parents and I at home for the game, so nothing too fancy or elaborate, or pre-planned for that matter! I made: 

turkey and pinto bean chili 
guacamole (served with veggies and kettle chips)
crudite platter 

Nothing fancy but we enjoyed the game and the food!

Answer

Yea!!! what a game. Our plans changed and we were on an icy lake for most of the weekend so I couldn't make what I wanted when we finally got home, which would have been: crawfish monica with homemade pasta (that we got for xmas). but check out the ice bob house - sister put a banner on it for the Saints (we lived in La. for 7 years back in the 70's) - oh well, not working. Pretty funny, pic of an ice bob house in the middle of frozen lake with "Go Saints" on it!

Answer

Definitely chicken wings! I made a marinade of soy sauce, paprika, garlic powder, and sugar and bake in the oven at 425 for 45 minutes - most and tender, and healthy! No need to fry them for a flavorful Super Bowl worthy menu item!

Answer

Basque Lamb Stew. For a party of two who are primarily watching the ads.

Answer

Not over doing it this year. Just 4 of us. I made turkey chili and I'll make jalapeno and cheddar corn bread.

Making Buffalo Chicken Dip, the grape jelly/chili meatballs (yes I am), and spinach and artichoke dip.

Chocolate pie and chocolate chippers for dessert.

Buffalo Chicken Dip

2 (5 ounce) cans chicken breast, drained and broken into smallish pieces
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened

Forgot shrimp cocktail.
1 cup ranch dressing
1/4 cup red hot sauce (less, if you don't want it too hot, I use less)
About 1 1/2 C shredded cheddar cheese
Frito corn chips or scoops

In a pot on the stove top, add chicken and hot sauce and mix well. Then add cream cheese, 1/2 of the shredded cheese, ranch dressing, and hot sauce.

Spray pie plate with Pam, or similar
Spread mixture into pie plate sprayed with Pam. 
Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes.
Put the remaining cheddar on top and bake an additional 10-15 minutes.

Another guest making spring rolls and veggie tray.
I'm making pizza and the ATK Triple Chocolate Mousse Cake

Answer

Mostly Asian today. 

Pork lettuce wraps with mint, cilantro & crushed peanuts - dipping sauces
Lumpia - dipping sauces
Potstickers - dipping sauces
Butterflied shrimp with sauce

Crazy coocunt pie
maybe French apple pie
Brownies

Answer

Round One: Lobster rolls. Stoli and fresh-squeezed orange juice to wash it down.

Round Two: Goat cheese + warmed olive oil/olives/herbs and garlic stuff. Delivery mechanism is lightly toasted Italian bread slices seasoned with olive oil and salt. This is Deb's creation. It's Cugat.

Round Three: I scrubbed the littleneck clams. They're in the freezer for 45 minutes. Baked clams a la Scotto family recipe (I cribbed this from Bobby Flay's Christmas with the Scotto Family special from a few years ago) will be the half-time treat.

Green Bay's up by two scores in the first quarter. I'll figure out a few more rounds after the end of the half.

Answer

Nachos. We picked up the ingredients on a whim on the way home from the skating rink. I watched the nachos 'you're doing it wrong' video on the chow site and thought i'd try broiling the nachos based on molly's advice (I usually bake them). I set the entire pan on fire. My husband grabbed them out of the oven, took them out on the deck and packed with snow while his oven mitt was on fire. I was busy trying to figure out if you're supposed to use water on a kitchen fire. No harm done - had more chips and grated more cheese. The baked version was awesome, my guacamole was the best I've made so far.

Answer

Round Four: Fried up some left-over gorgonzola polenta.
It's a four point game.

Answer

It's really hard for me to make super bowl treats since I can't eat sugar, dairy or gluten ! Any ideas for good game day food ?

Answer

Gluten-free menu: 
Teriyaki wings
Oven baked mini corn dogs
Veggie pizza (cauliflower crust)
Guac/chips 
Cupcakes :)

...maybe some Szechuan shrimp if I'm feeling ambitious...
