MAURO'S MAGICAL NO-BREAD MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Place the cashews and garlic in a small pot and cover with water. Boil for 15 minutes, then drain completely. Place the cooked cashews and garlic in a food processor with olive oil. Process until a paste forms, about 1 minute.
• Combine cashew paste with ground meats, Pecorino, parsley, eggs and some salt and pepper. Knead until well combined. Using a measuring cup, form into heaping 1/4-cup-sized meatballs.
• Heat enough canola oil to come 1/2-inch up the side of a low-sided Dutch oven or heavy bottomed skillet to 350 degrees F. Add meatballs in batches and brown the meatballs on all sides until dark brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes a side. Let drain on a wire rack and serve with your favorite spaghetti and tomato sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
• Roll out each dough piece on a lightly floured surface into a roughly 5-inch square. Space them evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
• Place half a chocolate bar on each square. Top each with a quarter of the graham cracker crumbles and 1/2 teaspoon smoked salt. Fold in the opposite corners so that all 4 meet in the middle, then pinch the seams and middle to seal.
• Mix together the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Brush each pocket with butter and sprinkle with the sugar mixture. Bake until golden, about 10 minutes.
• While still hot, top each pocket with a marshmallow, pressing slightly to adhere. Use a kitchen torch to toast the marshmallows. (Alternatively, turn the oven to broil and broil, watching carefully, to toast the marshmallows, about a minute.) Serve warm.

MAURO'S MUFFALETTA

Steps:

• Cut the loaf in half horizontally. Spread the Olive Giardiniera Salad crust to crust on both sides of the bread. Then, layer the cheese on the bottom, followed by high ribbons of the mortadella, salami and capicola. Cover with the top half of the bread and let sit 20 to 30 minutes so the salad's oil can soak into the bread. Cut into pie-shaped wedges and serve to the masses.
• Put the olives, red peppers, giardiniera with oil, capers, vinegar, parsley and sugar in the bowl of a food processor and pulse 8 to 10 times until a coarse relish forms.
