So, I didn't know how to make hoppin' john, and my mother only made that for New Year's Day.
When plancha is very hot (water dropped on plancha will bead), use tongs to add ingredients to plancha in a single layer.. Sear.Sear ingredients until charred on one side, and then flip and cook to the desired degree of doneness.. Easy Cleanup.
Clean the plancha while it is still hot.Soak several paper towels with water, and roll them up together like a cigar.Using a pair of tongs to hold paper towels, rub the surface of the plancha to remove residue.
Let plancha and grill cool before removing plancha.(Keep screen awake).COCONUT PAD THAI.
2 tablespoons tamarind juice.
1 1/2 tablespoons maple syrup.Using a large slotted spoon, allow the excess corn syrup to drain as you scoop the coated nuts onto a parchment paper-covered baking sheet.
Be sure to spread them in an even layer so they will roast evenly in the oven.. Bake the nuts until they are evenly caramelized, 15 to 20 minutes.To test for doneness, you can break a nut in half and check to see if it is light brown on the inside.
Keep an eye on the nuts because the sugar will burn very soon after it caramelizes.Remove the baking sheet from the oven and place on a wire rack.
