Dat'l Hook Ya Zuppa Toscana

A very easy to make and hearty soup. For that night you want to stay in and have that perfect soup

1 tsp Dat'l Hook Ya blackened seasoning

1 tbsp olive oil

2 clove Garlic minced

1 lbs Italian sausage roll

1 large onion diced

32 oz chicken stock

2 cups of tightly packed Kale torn into bite size pieces

4 strips Bacon diced

1 cup heavy Whipping Cream

2 large baking Potatoes cut into chunks

2 tsp Flour mixed in 3 tbsp water

Heat a large pot to medium heat and add olive oil. Once oil is hot add in bacon, sausage and brown until broken into chunks about 1/2 in size. Do not over smash as it will be like ground beef and you wont have nice chunks of meat. Add in onion and blackened seasoning cooking until onion is slightly clear. Add in garlic and cook 1 min. Add in potatoes and chicken broth into pot at medium heat. Cover and cook about 20 min or until potatoes are near the tenderness you prefer. We like a little more firm for texture. Add in flour and cook 10-15 more minutes. Reduce to low heat and add whipping cream and kale. Mix thoroughly.  Serve in your favorite bowl and garnish with onion and fresh grated parmesan cheese.

Its not a calzone, its not a Stromboli,  its a Dat'lzoli! Fill it with your favorite fillings but we will share how we fill ours

The Sauce:  

1 tbsp Fresh oregano leaves  

6 Fresh basil leaves  

6 cloves Garlic minced  

1 medium Onion Diced  

1/4 cup Olive Oil  

1/2 cup Dat'l Hook Ya green label  

28oz canned San Marzano tomatoes    

The Dough:  

2 cups Cold filtered water (no tap water or super purified. You need some minerals, not the chlorine)  

4.5 cups Double zero flour (You will need to order this online. DO NOT substitute any other flour)  

1.75 tsp Sea salt  

1 tsp sugar

2 tsp Instant yeast  

1/4 cup Extra virgin olive oil  

cornmeal for dusting

The Filling:   

Anything you want! Be creative. We find it best to cook raw vegetables or any uncooked meats before filling. We like diced bacon, Italian sausage, peperoni, diced onion, diced bell pepper, minced garlic, and 4 cheese shredded Italian. Or another variation is same vegetables but the protein is Dat'l Hook Ya blackened chicken

Sauce:   Heat a large skillet to medium high and add olive oil. Once oil is heated add the diced onion and cook for 5 min or until clear. Add garlic and cook 1 min. Add tomatoes with juices and Dat'l Hook Ya. In your hands take your fresh oregano (do not use dried) and rub the leaves in your hand. This releases the aromatic oils. Do the same with the basil (again no dried stuff) and add to the skillet. Simmer on low heat for 25min until its thickened with frequent stirring. Place into a blender and blend until a good sauce consistency, but not to thin.    

Dough:  Place all dry ingredients (except corn meal) into a bowl and mix thoroughly.  Add olive oil and mix. DO NOT add olive oil with water at the same time. Add cold water and mix. Once mixed it will be a very rough consistency. Remove from bowl and knead. Watch some YouTube videos how to knead dough as its critical to properly knead for 5 min to get the glutens in the dough just right. Add additional water and flour as needed to get a smooth dough. Once proper consistency, spray the inside of a bowl with Pam and add the dough. Spray the dough with Pam as this will keep it from drying out. Wrap in loose cling wrap and place in a bowl. Place into fridge overnight at minimum. Day 3 to 5 are 100% better!    

The Build:  Preheat oven to 475 degrees with a pizza stone inside. Heat the stone for 45 min at the least. Cut a billiard ball size of dough, add cornmeal onto surface, place the dough on cornmeal and spread to a 12 inch pie. To half of the pizza with staying 3/4 inches away from the edge add sauce and your favorite filling, finish off with shredded cheese of your choice. Once you have the sauce and filling on half the pizza dough, fold over the other half to make a calzone shape. Press edges firmly until they are stuck together. Using a basting brush, coat the top only in olive oil. Cut 4 one inch slits on the top to release steam. Place on pizza stone in oven at 475 degrees for 15min. You will love Dat'lzoli!

The great debates:  wet ribs vs dry rub and  how do you cook the best moist rubs with a slight crunch exterior. Our method gets close to those ideal perfect ribs! 

- Take your baby back ribs and season liberally on both sides with Dat'l Hook Ya Blackened seasoning. Ideal is let the seasoning sit at least 30 min in a refrigerator 

- Once the ribs are seasoned, preheat your grill to 325 degrees. Once it hits 325, let it stay there for 30 min before adding meat to get all the metal hot. 

- The ribs MUST be cooked by indirect heat. For a 2 or 3 burner grill turn off 1 burner.

- Once you get the ribs on the grill, go to page 2 and follow our BBQ sauce recipe. 

- Place the ribs meat side up on the side that the burner is turned off and cook for 30 min. Rotate 180 degrees and cook another 30 min.  Flip the ribs meat side down and cook 30 min. Now for one more 180 degree rotation and cook for 30 min. At this point the ribs are cooked they just need to be flipped with the meat side up. Up until this point wet and dry rub are the same. Mop half the ribs on the meat side only with the Dat'l Hook Ya BBQ sauce you made earlier and leave the other half dry rub. Close the lid and leave both wet and dry ribs on the grill. Increase the heat to  400 degrees and grill 15-30min depending on your desired caramelization.  Such an easy way to cook darn near perfect ribs every time with no crazy long marinade!
