All Our Favorite Super Bowl Snacks
I heard a story about a big sporting event this weekend, and if you’re planning to get people to watch it at home, you’ll need some snacks. Fortunately, we have a lot of them.
Wings
There are several ways to handle this. You can sprinkle them with duck fat and then sauté them, or steam and sauté them (either in an instant saucepan or in a steam basket on the stove ). Both methods result in very juicy meat and incredibly crispy skins, and both allow the wings to be partially cooked a day earlier. As for the sauce, it’s hard to go wrong with a chunk of butter and a cup of Frank’s, but perhaps consider using the Caesar chicken wing , which is especially good if you’re in the mood for grilling.
Food boards
You don’t have to go to the stadium for a bite to eat , but no one will be disappointed by the large board of finger-friendly snacks . You can create the perfect cheese board (round it off with a melted wheel of something soft ), or focus on the saltier side of life with a plentiful veggie board for Vespers ( bake pickled vegetables for even more flavor). Aside from chunks of fancy meats, you can complement your appetizer board with a spicy nduja-style spread , homemade chicken liver mousse, or a rustic sous vide terrine . (If your masculinity is so fragile that you can’t eat terrine while watching sports, I don’t know how to help you.)
Onion sauce
There are many good sauces , but onion sauce is a genre of its own and, unlike Brady, the audience loves it. I love the caramelized onion and chives sauce , which relies heavily on sour cream, but this smoky tahini-based miracle cooked with charred onions will shock and thrill even the pickiest onion sauce connoisseur. (You can actually make this with any charred vegetable, but I would start with onions, which are the best vegetable.)
Cheese in all its forms
The cheese balls are equally delicious and adorable, and easy to adapt to. Not only can you change the flavor profile to your liking , but you can also reshape the ball to match the one kicked, thrown, and chased by men in very tight short pants. If you want to be extra cute, you can make little little balls and stick pretzel sticks in them. For the slightly cheesy lover, you can always make Fromage Fort , a mixture of delicious cheeses, wine, garlic and butter. Serve cold with Crudité or spread over toast and toast. If you’re looking for a cheeky, queso-like bowl of hot cheese, we have four different paths you can choose from , including a vegan option and a way to turn any cheese – even harder – into a melted bowl of liquid gold. …
Other interesting options
The above should be enough to feed the hungry crowd, but if you need to add anything, let me recommend a cast iron pizza , a large bowl of bubble chisis , lots of super hot guac and nachos made with Doritos . Plus, it might sound a little out of the ordinary, but a large casserole is the perfect way to feed the crowd. We’ve got a Super Bowl casserole you’ll love, but a cooking casserole and cheese plate casserole will also satisfy your needs.
