South Park is home to a surprising number of tempting foodstuffs. Granted, they're all subtly gross in one way or another, but that doesn't make Chef's Chocolate Salty Balls sound any less appealing. Especially when it's being sung at you by Isaac Hayes. Open wide.

 

Ingredients

  • 1 stick of butter, cubed
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 3 whole eggs
  • 1 cup flour
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • 8 ounces chocolate
  • ½ cup whole milk

Method: Chef's Chocolate Salty Balls   

  1. Place a stick of butter, cubed, into a the bowl of a stand mixer with 2 cups of sugar, and mix on high for 2 minutes. Crack 3 whole eggs and cream together with the butter and sugar on a high speed until creamy.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup of flour, ½ cup of unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1 ½ tsp each of baking powder and kosher salt. Whisk together before slowly adding to the mixture in the stand mixture on a low speed.
  3. As that comes together we’re going to add ½ tsp vanilla extract, ½ cup buttermilk, and ¼ cup vegetable oil.
  4. Once those are added, turn mixer back on to a high speed for 2-3 minutes or until light and fluffy.
  5. Oil the inside of a cake pan, fill it with the cake batter, smooth out the top, and bake at 350°F for 35-40 minutes or until set and no longer jiggling.
  6. While cake cools, we’re going to melt 8 ounces of chocolate in a double boiler. Pour chocolate onto a sheet pan and spread it out until smooth. Freeze for 10 minutes or until it has lost its sheen.
  7. Use a lemon zester, scrape the chocolate off of the pan, creating some short and curly chocolate curls. Place in a bowl and toss with some cocoa powder. Place in freezer until we’re ready to use them.
  8. In the meantime we’re going to scrape our cooled cake into a mixing bowl. Adding ½ cup of whole milk, adding more milk if necessary until we reach a dough-y consistency. We will then shape them into chocolate balls and place on a parchment lined baking sheet.
  9. Coat balls in molten chocolate and roll in the bowl of chocolate curlies.

Ingredients

  • ½ dozen shallots
  • 3 large heirloom tomatoes
  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • 4 ounces crumbled goat cheese
  • 1 clove garlic

For Creme Fraiche:

  • 1 pint heavy cream
  • 2 Tbsp buttermilk

Method: Randy's Fritata

  1. Using a mandolin, shave ½ dozen shallots into ⅛ inch slices that we’re going to seperate into little rings.
  2. Pour some frying oil into a pot, and heat to 250°F. Place shallots in oil and raise the temp to 350°F. Remove when blonde. Not dark brown, but blonde.
  3. Chop up 3 large heirloom tomatoes, scooping out the seeds in the middle before chopping into 1 inch pieces.
  4. In a 10-inch cast iron pan, combine butter and olive oil and turn on a medium high heat.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine 6 eggs, 1 cup of milk, salt, pepper, and 4 ounces of crumbled goat cheese.
  6. Cook one small chopped shallot and 1 clove of garlic until fragrant.
  7. Add heirloom tomatoes and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated or until tomatoes are soft.
  8. Add egg and cheese mixture. Constantly run your wooden spoon across the bottom of the pan. This helps create a single curd and more tender eggs.
  9. Heat oven to 350°F.
  10. Once eggs become thick, place in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until eggs are completely set.
  11. Slice yourself a piece and top with fried shallots, chopped chives and creme fraiche.

For Creme Fraiche:

  1. Combine 1 pint of heavy cream with 2 Tbsp of buttermilk. Stirring well to combine, covering, and letting sit out overnight.
