Recipe Fridays: Mystery Munchy

Things just seem to fall into place sometimes, don’t they? 

IMG_5454

Look at that beautiful hors d’oeuvres. 

IMG_5458

Don’t you wish you were invited to that party?

IMG_5520

Cater waiters walking around, jacket, tie, holding these out to you.

IMG_5521

The only problem being… what would you call these?

IMG_5522

Melba toast topped with Roma tomatoes, pulled pork, caramelized onions?

IMG_5523

Heaven on toast?

IMG_5524

Awesome toast? 

IMG_5526

Bite of heaven?

IMG_5527

Seriously, people, I need a name.

IMG_5528

Any ideas? 

IMG_5531

Suggestions?

IMG_5533

How about this?  Whoever comes up with a name that just BAM fits,… I’ll give you a prize.  Must be local to NYC area so I can deliver it in person.  Use a real email address below in comments, okay?  Thanks! 

Hardly a recipe, really, but have a go anyway.

Start off with a friend who made 6 lbs of pulled pork and gave away a huge container to you.  (Alternatively, make your own pulled pork!) 

Slice of Melba toast (I used plain, but feel free to use whatever type you like). 

Slice of Roma tomato (from my CSA – it’s the very tail end of the season). 

A bit of pulled pork (don’t go crazy here, really). 

Top with a bit of caramelized onions.  Not too many – the early pictures actually have too many, because they overpower the flavor of everything else easily. 

Dab of creme fraiche or sour cream (I’m not that fancy; also, I’d run out of sour cream, oops!), then a sprig of parsley for color.

Voila.  A bite of amazing awesome in yo’mouth… that needs a name. 

Help me with the name!!! 

Caramelized Onions

Cut an onion or two in half, then slice into half moons.  Melt a tablespoon of butter in the bottom of a heavy skillet, medium high heat.  Add onions once the butter starts to bubble; a bit of kosher salt, a touch of freshly-ground black pepper, and a dash or two of cayenne (more if you like it spicy).  After 5-10 minutes, once they’re browned a bit, lower the heat, and stir occasionally, until they’re super soft, caramelized, and yummy smelling – about 20 minutes.  Voila. 

HAPPY EATING!!!

      That’s really cute! Needs a little more garden in the bite for that name, but I’m going to try to use that name for something else now 😉

    I don’t live in NY so …. sigh. But if I had a vote it would be for [Pulled] Porkchetta – I like the Porkchetta part!

    My kids and I would call ’em “Oinksters” – not very urbane but fun nonetheless. [You could get fat eating these regardless of the melba toast]
