What did I cook this weekend.....

What the heck is that? A rutabaga? In any case, something I've never eaten before.

Rutabaga=swede

Putting potatos in a pea soup is also very common in Germany. The classic hearty pea soup here has potatoes as well as onions, parsley, and something like carrots or cellery root. Then bay leaf, smoked bacon type thing (German style), and Wiener sausages for serving. Nothing pureed or anything, just hearty stuff.

And on the potatoe in chili note....roasted sweet potato chili is delicious.

Here's what I made for dinner yesterday. I was feeling too poorly to make it in the morning. SWMBO loved it, saying it was excellent...

I made two one pound bacon bombs with Bob Evan's original style breakfast sausage chubs wrapped in bacon weave. Scrambled eggs, just barely done to preserve flavor quality. The potatoes I made with that buttery parsley'd gravy on'em. & of course, some hot, home made biscuits. I saved the drippin's from this to add to some chunky bacon gravy I'll make today with more biscuits. Good meals for a day of cold & snow.

Just about to take a leg of lamb off the barbecue. Been grilling it low and slow for the last three and a half hours. Here's the before pic View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1452445370.672917.jpg. I'll take another when I get it in the kitchen. Those are JD barrel chips to up the smokiness. Hmmm

I love pit barbecuing leg of lamb with ham for Easter dinner! A Memphis dry rub works pretty well here.

First time I've tackled a full leg on there. Usually I limit grilling to burgers, steaks, kebabs and stuff but this year I've promised myself I'm going to push the comfort zone and try some larger meals. What's in a Memphis rub then?

It's a lot like Cajun seasoning with light brown sugar added the way I do it.

That sounds worth a try.

Here's the finished product.

Jesus Christ!

 

[mattmmille]

Just so long as they don't put any swedes into it I have no objections to scarfing it down.

Sorry.

Don't care for the greens, but I'd hit dat! Good mixed with potatoes in a mash or stew.

 

[Elkobrewer]

Elk chili. For dinner tonight.

 

[applescrap]

Marinated wings in my coffee Russian imperial stout, fresh-squeezed lemon juice, soy sauce and olive oil. With beer-battered fries topped with course ground pepper and Parmesan cheese. Fat.

The wings look good I'm not feeling the beer batter. I don't have a deep fryer for a reason cuz I'll get stupid and beer batter is one of those reasons

 

[cpa4ny]

DLTs. That is duck confit, lettuce, tomato sandwiches with spicy lemon mayo and avocado. Also I found horseradish roots at the farmers market today and made up two jars. First time doing horseradish and let me warn you that it is potent stuff! Nearly had to flee the room when I was chopping it in the food processor!

I wear my diving mask when I grind fresh horseradish roots.

Highly recommend it.

Sirloin burger topped with sharp cheddar, pulled pork, and an egg. Saw it on Food Porn and had to make it.

This looks absolutely amazing, any chance of getting the recipe for it? Lol I am very picky about chili and this looks perfect.

I'll gladly post it this evening. I don't have the recipe with me at the moment.
If I forget by then, please remind me.

White Bean Chicken Chili last night. Good food for a blustery winter day.

 

[Psylocide]

Saturday I brewed an IIPA (1.087/100+ Ibu) and smoked some pork/chicken wings. I blacked out around the time the wings went on. Managed to snag 1 drunk pic.

Yesterday I did potato and ham soup. I used my premade pheasant stock cubes that I made a while back. Also used the bone from the ham steak for a short boil to add a little more flavor to the broth.

Thickened with a roux and half/half. Simmered all day and It was delicious.

Stew/soup looks great, as does the pulled pork.

Great pictures.

So you did a ham-bone decoction. Very cool.

rutabaga is lanttu in finnish, and i bet you have had it as it is a very common ingredient here in many soups and such.

Yeah, I had to look up the translation for lanttu so that I found the word rutabaga...

I've never bought one and since I don't, as a principle, eat roots then unless somebody put some into my lohikeitto then I haven't eaten it either.

Only roots I eat are piparjuuri (horseradish?) and inkivääri (ginger). My kids won't usually eat roots, either. Very rarely, they will eat some mashed potatoes, like once in 2-3 months or something. They refuse to eat the school lunches as well because they claim the food is so horrible - good thing Finnish kids get out of school so early - they come home from school and wipe out the refrigerator every day.

Set up a strada last night, chorizo, onion and sundried tomatoes,
I think I stumble across something great with the tomatoes. View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1452529025.489469.jpg

I found an interesting rub on the NY Times cooking pages so decided to give it a whirl. Not bad.

NY times eh? Aren't they the heathens who tell you to put peas in guacamole? Dont know if I can trust them anymore.
