Paradise Exclusive Recipes

The recipe initially appeared in The Kansas City Star and starts with quality bread.
We like Farm to Market's country white bread. The plumpness of dried cherries
complements the ham hocks, but you could substitute craisins, if you prefer. The
original recipe called for pine nuts but added a uniquely Missouri twist by swapping them out for Hammond's black walnuts. Top the dressing with a locally
made goat cheese and you've got a recipe that has been on the recipe tester's
table for nearly two decades and shared by request with numerous family
members.

This decadent grilled cheese sandwich features the punch of our award-winning andouille sausage. the bechamel sauce is made from evaporated milk and Habanero Jack Cheese. We also used local Farm to Market sourdough bread. During the Fall, you could also try the chile cheese sourdough.

This recipe is a great way to put the brine from any pickled vegetable to good use. Marinating the drumsticks in the brine adds flavor and tenderness. We prefer panko crumbs for a beautifully even crust. Drizzle, or dip the drumsticks into buffalo wing sauce, because who says hot sauce is only for wings?
