The Best Lines From 2 Chainz's New Cookbook, #MealTime
2 Chainz publishes cookbook with new album.
Oct. 17, 2013 -- intro: "Use of these recipes is at your own risk." That's the fitting disclaimer at the beginning of 2 Chainz's new cookbook, "#MealTime." Each recipe comes accompanied with 2 Chainz's outfit and music suggestions, and is only available with purchase of his new album, "B.O.A.T.S. II: Me Time." However, we were able to score some recipes and the book's best one-liners. Our favorites ahead.
quicklist:1title: Teriyaki Salmontext: 2 Chainz instructs home cooks to don their Versace apron to make this recipe and encourages everyone to watch Belly on TV while it marinates, then switch over to "blasting 'Hit It With Fork' at an ignorant level" to eat.
Teriyaki Salmon Recipe
Ingredients:
1 pound fresh salmon
1-1.5 cups teriyaki sauce
Colored bell peppers, julienne sliced
½ small red onion, sliced thin
Kosher salt or sea salt
Black pepper
Butter
Olive oil
Directions:
Put on your Versace apron.
Slice fresh salmon, drizzle it with olive oil and season it with salt. Marinate salmon in teriyaki sauce and olive oil for 20 to 30 minutes.
While you wait, feel free to watch "Belly" on the big screen.
Before the movie is done, prepare grill or non-stick grill-pan and drizzle olive oil on pan. Place marinated salmon slices on grill (or grill-pan) on medium-high heat. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes while blasting "Hit It With Fork" at an ignorant level. Flip and cook another 2 ½ to 3 minutes, before taking the salmon off the grill.
Add 1 teaspoon of butter to pan and toss in sliced peppers and onions to saute. Plate salmon and garnish with sauteed peppers and onions, using leftover juices for additional flavoring.media: 20599562
quicklist:2title: Garlicky Green Beanstext: Step one: "Call Fergie, invite her to watch a movie on Netflix. Once she accepts, start making green beans." To make it a perfect night, 2 Chainz even chooses "Shottas" as the movie for you and Fergie Fergs.
Garlicky Green Beans Recipe
Ingredients:
Handful (approximately ½ pound) fresh green beans
2 tablespoons minced garlic
Kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder
1 ½ cups water
Olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter (optional)
Directions:
Call Fergie, invite her to watch a movie on Netflix. Once she accepts, start making green beans.
Boil lightly salted water in a silver-lined pot with a mahogany handle. Add green beans into the pot. Boil 3 ½ to 4 minutes, or just before tender. Drain green beans.
Heat a marble skillet, and add olive oil and butter. Add green beans to marble skillet and cook them over medium-high heat. Toss for 30 seconds, then add garlic and season with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Cook for 1 to 2 more minutes, and taste for doneness.
After eating a tasty serving, pack up the rest for later and watch "Shottas" on Netflix.media: 20599502
