Italian Garlic rolls...
Marcella's Italian restaurant in the 1970's was a favorite place to eat.
Located near North Miami High School, it was the place to congregate after football games.
Her pizza was great but people raved about the garlic rolls.
Some places call them garlic knots because they are strips twisted into the shape as opposed to rolls that are just one lump of dough. The knot shape allows the spices to get into the roll and not slide off it.
Ingredients
The recipe is for a dozen medium rolls.
4-8 large cloves of fresh garlic. I prefer grating them but minced works well.
(avoid the store bought garlic in jars as it's got chemicals that completely change the flavor)
3 tablespoons of dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon of dried Thyme
A pinch or two of salt.
4 ounces of olive oil
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375.
Note: I get better results with small batches in a toaster oven.
Lay out the dough at room temperature and cut into strips 1/2" wide by 4" long.
If you use a rolling pin, try for 1/2" thick before cutting the strips.
Mandatory, use need white flour to dust the cookie sheet or baking tray, your hands and the strips of dough.
If you don't, expect a sticky mess that is totally unmanageable.
The Pillsbury dough works easily (probably from all the chemicals in it) and the pizza dough requires more effort. I'll stretch and pull the dough until it's ready to tie into a knot.
Bake for 10-12 minutes and pull out just as the tops start to brown. You want them soft and not crunchy.
While hot, dump them into the bowl, put the lid on and shake.
They are ready to eat!

Crispy sardine cakes (Bolinho de sardinha)
Cheap, quick, delicious
Ingredients
2 tablespoons fresh parsley
¼ cup kalamata olives, chopped finely
zest and juice from 1 lemon
½ ripe yellow plantain, peeled and mashed
¼ cup olive oil
Directions
Add parsley, olives, lemon zest and juice, and mashed plantain. Use fork to combine well.
Use your hands to shape into 4 equal size patties and set on a plate.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
When oil is hot, very carefully place the patties in the pan and allow to cook without disturbing until browned and crispy on the bottom, then very carefully flip each patty so they can get equally brown and crispy on the other side. This should take about 5-7 minutes, but this depends very much on exactly how hot your oil is and the pan you are using. Don't allow them to burn, but do allow them to cook on each side long enough to get very crispy and heated through.
Remove from pan and serve on top of a bed of lettuce, garnished with additional fresh parsley, and with a wedge of lemon to squeeze over top.

quick pizza in 10 minutes in a skillet
The cooks have come up with an option in which all the products are laid in the pan at the same time, while in principle there can be no trouble, like unbaked dough or raw stuffing. The dough for such an instant pizza is prepared liquid, like pancakes, the filling is cut thinly and laid out on top of the raw dough, everything is filled up with a rather thick layer of cheese and the entire structure is cooked over the slowest fire under a tightly covered lid. Pizza in a pan turns out lush, tender, fragrant and - most importantly! - very fast. There are several options for pizza recipes in the pan, differing from each other in the number of ingredients and the presence or absence of mayonnaise, eggs and even the dough itself. Choose the most suitable and treat yourself and your loved ones with delicious pizza.
Ingredients
Ingredients:
8 tbsp. sour cream
8 tbsp. flour,
2 eggs,
salt to taste
filling for pizza - to taste and desire.
Directions
Mix the ingredients for the dough, mixing it well.
Pour the dough into a cold pan, greased with butter, and let stand.
Meanwhile, slice the stuffing for the filling, grate the cheese.

Cover and wait until all the cheese has melted.
Notes
Ingredients:
4 tbsp. mayonnaise,
4 tbsp. sour cream
2 eggs,

100 g sausage,
1 tomato,
