Seared ahi tuna bowl

[Texzilla58 4736]

A tuna bowl…on a plate! Genius!

[Mac8111 2107]

9lbs of pork loin for $19 at Costco. The best value in the meat department. Sammiches were amazing.

[JSB 677]

Been a long time since I’ve been on here and I really don’t know why. A smoke this weekend though brought me back. Boudain stuffed gator, smoked chicken and a shrimp boil in case the gator was a flop. Spoiler, it wasn’t












Fucking delicious man. Pointer I’m very glad I found was to cut out the fat from the tail. It doesn’t render and makes it taste a bit fishy. Next time I do this, I will go bigger. This was just dipping my toe in, but really good. Even the kids loved it and there were zero leftovers.

[Spoosner 86]

Awesome. Where did you get the gator?

Made some rice this weekend, came out about perfect. Not even in the same league as that gator  ….

creolefood.com is a site I order spices and kings cakes from. They had a special running on whole alligators so I went for it. They shipped it in dry ice. 

[Trey3216 15346]

Had a hankering for some beef tips & rice.   Did it in the instant pot, and over basmati rice.  Was pretty damn tasty for a first run at home in an instant pot.  
 

 

[Cheeseweasel 26438]

Solid.

[Mo Horn 8843]

Did a little mediterranean after going to the farmers market today. Crostini with Tuscan chicken and grated parm; and heirloom tomatoes with mozzarella and basil. Nice and light for a warm spring evening. 

[Tailgate 3021]

Spaghetti and meatballs.

[Armybrat 40849]

Grilled these NY Strips this afternoon on the Weber…

 

[Trey3216 15346]

Did some Chicken Piccata for Mother’s Day.   Didn’t get my chicken as browned as I’d normally like, but it was juicy and delicious.   Also forgot parsley and wasn’t about to make a special trip to The Jungle for it.

Veggies roasted in a tahini sauce situation.

 

L:FG.

Oh, and potato talk not going away.

How many football teams were there to serve?  Looks fantastic.  Most excellent shit. 

[speed817 19277]

Had to try this smoked ghost pepper powder I just got. Sprinkled some into my pad see ew. Definitely adds a good kick.....

Pretty easy.  Salt and pepper some bone-in skin-on chicken thighs and sear skin down in a cast iron skillet in a bit of olive oil on medium heat for about 15 minutes.  Meanwhile, combine a mixture of 1 lb halved small Yukon gold or fingerling potatoes, tsp. oregano, two minced garlic cloves, olive oil, salt, pepper, and 10 pepperoncinis.  Once the thighs are browned, turn over skin side up, and nestle the potato mixture between the thighs, and then put half a cup of the pepperoncini brine in the skillet.  Bake in the oven at 425 for about 40 minutes.  Then take the chicken out of the skillet and cook the potatoes in the chicken drippings on high heat for about 4 minutes to get them nice and golden.  Take the skillet off the heat, add the chicken back in, and then add 2-3 stalks of finely chopped celery, half a red onion thinly sliced, and parsley.

Got the recipe from Bon Appetit and made it last night for the first time.  It slammed hard.

Saw the post and had to make it. Damn good. Reminded me of a Peruvian dish.

Flan using the instant pot

[Mo Horn 8843]

Have always wanted to make dolma, so made for a get together with colleagues. One of them is a vegetarian, so filling is rice, onions, and herbs. Took a while to fill each one, but they came out good. 

[MirrOlure 14780]

Anyone ever chargrilled octopus? I could use some guidance in, oh, I don’t know, by the time the fire I just lit burns down?

[PantsTent 2002]

Well, I don’t think more flan is the answer.

I've done it in my wok on the BGE.  Did you butcher it yourself?  Do you have a grill basket?

[MirrOlure 14780]

It’s been butchered and wife braise/boiled it. And marinated. MasterClass says high heat 4 minutes per side.

We’ll see!

[Texzilla58 4736]

That’s the only way I like octopus, heavily marinated and heavily charred.

I feel bad about eating them as they seem to have quite the brain.

[MirrOlure 14780]

I guess this one was a bit slow because he got caught

[MirrOlure 14780]

So far…

[MirrOlure 14780]

Success! Very excellent

[Texzilla58 4736]

Looks great!

[tx 3 putt 76958]

Interesting 

[Anastasis 23469]

That a cool patio. Are those garage doors?

[956 Worldwide 34715]

That octopus looks ridiculously good.

I am badly wanting a slice of that lamb. Leg of lamb has rabidly climbed my list of favorite foods.

Prime rib bro. But as for lamb, if I was stuck on a desert island with only one choice of protein for the rest of my life, it would be lamb. It’s just a very versatile meat. 

[956 Worldwide 34715]

Smoked pork chops with a spiced rum glaze, savory mashed sweet potatoes, asparagus with pecorino.

Careful. Sounds like he’s casing the joint.

Not really my style, but if it was there is enough deterrence in that picture to make me reconsider. 

[MirrOlure 14780]

Overhead glass garage door on outdoor bar/kitchen. All (most) Surlys welcome, no casing or stalking necessary

Nice flan.  It’s so easy to break that custard.

phenomenal chops and perfectly cooked over fire.

My 42 year old son has started drinking a weird Arnold Palmer like thing. Half diet coke half unsweetened tea. It tastes like Vitalis mixed with Comet.

[elfenix 34243]

technically not cooked:

get about 2 pounds of red fresnos, let them rot on your counter for a few days, then blitz into delicious sauce.

Hot chicken sandwiches tonight. Made a sriracha ranch as a spread and it fucked.
