DEB'S BREAD AND BUTTER PICKLES

Steps:

• Stir 2 quarts water and salt in a large pot until salt is dissolved. Submerge cucumbers in the water. Add ice to the water to keep cold. Let cucumbers soak for 2 hours.
• Drain salt water from pot. Rinse and drain cucumber slices twice.
• Stir sugar, 4 cups water, apple cider vinegar, turmeric, mustard seed, and celery seed together in a large pot; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; add cucumber slices. Simmer until the cucumbers are completely hot, but do not bring to a boil, about 10 minutes.
• Sterilize canning jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the cucumbers into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings.
• Let cucumbers pickle 2 weeks before eating, shaking each jar once daily.

• In a small saucepan add the remaining ingredients. Stir to dissolve sugar and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and allow it to cool. Pour the brine over the cucumbers in jar. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. Will keep, refrigerated, for about 2 weeks.

• Transfer to sterile containers. Seal and chill in the refrigerator until serving.

THE BURGER

Steps:

• In a large bowl, gently mix the ground short rib and chuck. Take a quarter of the mixture and gently form a patty slightly wider than the size of your buns. Repeat, forming 4 equal-size patties. Place the burgers in the refrigerator until chilled, about 30 minutes.
• Heat a cast-iron griddle or pan until very hot over medium-high heat. If your griddle is well-seasoned, there is no need to oil it, but if not, drizzle it with a bit of the oil. Season the burgers with salt. Gently place the burgers onto the hot griddle and cook until browned, about 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, seasoning the burgers again after flipping.
• Carefully slice the buns in half. Spread some Burger Goop on the bottom buns and place the patties on top. Top with the lettuce and tomato. Spread more Burger Goop on the top buns and close the burgers. Serve immediately.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Brush a 6-cup jumbo muffin pan with softened butter.
• Combine the potato starch, bread flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda, milk powder and garlic powder in a large bowl and whisk to combine. Fill a measuring cup with 1 1/2 cups water; add the egg and 2 tablespoons of the melted butter and whisk together. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry. Whisk to combine. Pour the batter into a 1-quart iSi whipped cream siphon and charge it with 3 carbon dioxide (CO2) cartridges. Give it a gentle shake and let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
• Give the iSi siphon another shake, then eject the batter from the canister into the prepared muffin pan, filling each cup almost to the top. Sprinkle the dough with sesame seeds. Bake until the tops are golden brown, about 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and, while still hot, brush the tops with the remaining 4 tablespoons melted butter.
• Add the chopped chives, ketchup, mayonnaise and Dijon mustard to a small bowl. Finely chop the pickles, capers and parsley together and add the mixture to the bowl. Gently stir to combine. Season with salt.

THE ULTIMATE CUBAN SANDWICH

Steps:

• You can do this in a regular Dutch oven, but for convenience and time use a pressure cooker as follows:
• Begin by braising the pork shoulder. Tie the shoulder in 4 places with kitchen twine so it will hold its shape while being cooked or ask your butcher to do this for you. Season the pork with salt, pepper, cumin and oregano. Set the base of a pressure cooker over low-medium heat and add a 2 count of olive oil.
• Add garlic and chili flakes and as the oil heats up it will become fragrant and infuse the oil. Add the pork. Add onions around the pork and brown slightly before adding orange juice, lime juice, stock and bay leaves.
• Secure the lid of the pressure cooker and cook for 20 to 25 minutes depending on the size of your pressure cooker. The pork should be tender when done. When done allow to cool in juices before removing twine and slicing.
• To prepare Cuban sandwiches, split bread in half then layer the sandwich with mustard, cheese, pickles, ham, pork then cheese again (the cheese glues everything together). Season with salt and pepper in between the ham and pork layers. (Optional: drizzle a little of the pork braising liquid over the meat as well).
• To cook, heat a large cast iron skillet or grill pan over medium heat and lightly coat with olive oil. Place the sandwiches on the skillet and top with another heavy skillet and a couple of heavy weights (bricks, or cans of tomatoes work well). Press down firmly and cook for 5 to 7 minutes per side until the sandwich has compressed to about a third of its original size and the bread is super-crispy. Serve with beans, rice and plantain chips.
