What did I cook this weekend.....

[KVANTAN]

I made some Chili Colorado. Nice simple recipe, claimed by some to be the best recipe of all time. Hard to disagree. http://www.bonappetit.com/recipes/article/groat-ricks-chili-colorado

I made some bacon-wrapped hot dogs again. Also made another pan of my bbq pinto beans with bacon & green onions to go with'em.

I love chile colorado and make it a few times a year. Try substituting a good dark beer for about half that chicken stock - we use a homebrewed Porter. It adds a really good depth of flavor to it!

I marinated a wild turkey breast in a Bock brine then cooked at 149F for 2.5hrs. and finished on the grill with some BBQ sauce. Served with corn, salad and an American Bitter.

Smoked a turkey last night. Pictured with some collards (cooked with bacon, onion, and green apple finished with apple cider vinegar), squash relish, and some spend grain bread.

@ChefRex I took a page out of your book and used wort instead of water for the bread. Not sure why I didn't think of it before because it turned out fantastic!

Pulled pork here in boston (on my Kamado Joe Classic)

 

[banesong]

No pics, but lucked into a trip to a restaurant supply store.

Came out with a kilo of basil, a big pork shoulder to smoke this weekend and a bunch of other goodies. Made a bunch of pesto for freezing for quick dinners. Made a crock pot full of turkey stock and a stock pot full of smoked meat broth to make room in the freezer.

Have a bunch of pintos soaking for dinner tonight; will be combining with the smoke broth and some frozen leftover meat.

For dinner last night, had pork chops with a side of sunchoke, celariac root and apple slaw.

A tip/bit of advice for those that BBQ - my last pork butt, I used soaked pecan shells for the smoking medium. The taste is a bit acrid, and while it didn't afect the taste too much overall, you could tell if you got a nice piece of the bark. I won't be using them again.

Now, corn-cobs on the other hand, are a great smoking medium! Just save them after you & yours have finished gnawing the kernels off.

Coffee...transitioning to kombucha soon. Just put a batch in the fridge. Bought another dispenser yesterday, so I could have one in the fridge and 3 fermenting, so I won't run out. SWMBO doesn't like all these things fermenting around the kitchen...beer, cider, bootch, sauerkraut. Oh well.
Inside the 24 hour surgery zone (nose)...no beer for awhile.

 

[mattmmille]

Tossed some country style pork ribs in the crock pot yesterday...chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt. Drained and pulled the bones. Refrigerated at the moment. Defatted the liguid...congealed into a nice porky Jell-O. I'll fry some onions in the fat. Pork tacos for dinner tonight!

 

[slym2none]

Now I want carnitas...

 

[Staestc]

I really need to comment on stuff I saw but hard to do via the phone app. In particular the proper vindaloo!!

Wife had a worse day than I today so I picked up some ribeyes!

Made a pretty kick ass beef and broccoli stir fry tonight.

Well...no photos of the pork tacos...forgot son had another baseball game tonight. Too rushed. Then oldest daughter and grandbaby came to spend the night to help with younger kids while I'm having the nose surgery...evidently, SWMBO promised her I would cook a steak for her. Never told me! Luckily, T-bones were on sale this week and I bought two yesterday. About to head to bed...have to be at hospital at 5:15 a.m. And so...people will have to make food for ME for at least a couple of meals!

 

[Temptd2]

Hope your surgery goes smoothly and you're back home and relaxing before you know it, and letting them all wait on YOU!

 

[slym2none]

Good luck, Matt! In which hospital are you having your procedure done?

Hmm, maybe I shoulda asked before now...

Barbecued a chuck roast on the grill last Friday, 1st time I've tried to do a roast on the grill. Also grilled up some taters to go with it. The roast was a little overdone, but it was tasty nonetheless.
Regards, GF.

 

[unionrdr]

I like to pit bbq a dry-rubbed chuck roast opposite the coals with wood on them for a few hours. Low & slow to medium rare or so is good! or just sprinkle with SPGO & slow bbq till done, then slather on your favorite sauce. My fil liked the latter.

Smoked a corned brisket last weekend. Finally got around to getting the rest of the ingredients for some Ruben sandwiches. I didn't have any homemade sauerkraut, so I bought a jar of Vlasic with Caraway seeds. I used 2 slices of pepperjack cheese and some simple sauce.

Not the best Ruben I've ever had, but still pretty good. I wish I had a meat slicer to slice that pastrami thin.

Last night I was in a hurry to get to the brewery to sample a firkin they were tapping, so I nuked some Gordon's Fish Fillets and stuffed them into some old hot dog buns with some mayo, relish, and pepperjack cheese.

It was actually really good. I only wish the fish were crispy on the outside.

 

[unionrdr]

We used to like the batter-dipped fish wedges Giant Eagle used to sell. I'd deep fry'em with some fries. Then hit'em both with some malt vinegar! :rockin:

Mushroom ,scallion and cheddar frittata with toast from homemade bread. It's good .It's good.

Reprise of the slow-cooker pulled pork I've made a couple times as we're having friends over tonight. This time, I took roughly three pounds of pork, about 10% of it fat, and rubbed it with pestle-ground black and sichuan pepper mixed with salt. Tossed into a bag with a few dashes of black Chinese vinegar (up there with balsamic for best vinegar I've ever tasted), some dark mushroom soy sauce, flat Coca Cola, coffee dregs and grounds from my morning coffee in the French press, some star anise, bay, and a couple dried chilis. Marinated overnight, then tossed it in the slow cooker this morning on top of a rough-chopped onion and some more Coca Cola. It'll be sandwiches on toasted Uighur soda bread in the northwestern Chinese style with some good old American barbecue sauce and chopped onions. When I get home this evening, I'll take out the pork after about ten hours of cooking and toss some salt, pepper, and soy sauce marinated chicken wings in the juices and seasonings from the pork in the slow cooker for the last hour before everyone arrives. Corn on the cob on the side and homebrewed beer (of course!) to wash it all down.

 

[mattmmille]

Made crock pot pulled pork yesterday and then some big cookies with milk chocolate chips, butterscotch chips and pecan pieces.

 

[Cheesy_Goodness]

Smoked a turkey the other day and of course had a ton of leftovers, so I threw together a pot pie. Onions and carrots sauteed, frozen corn and peas thrown in towards the end. Gravy made from a minimal amount of turkey fat, butter, flour, milk, chicken bullion, and just a dash of Worcestershire sauce.
Cheated on the crust and used puff pastry.

Dee-freakin-licious

 

[brewbama]

I used this recipe and highly recommend it.

Thanks for lookin at my cookin.

 

[unionrdr]

We had some reubens last night with corned beef in the crock pot. I still wanna slow smoke one & try to slice it thin.

 

[Freddyj123]

Dang, some very accomplished cooks up in here
