    When I'm too lazy to cook a veggie i just use the birdseye steamfresh veggies, typically brussel sprouts. They get the job done :) 

    Well I planned to do grilled carrots or asparagus but just too busy managing work and kids being home from spring break, but will pick up some of those Brussels sprouts next time iM at the store sounds like a great idea……thanks @C6Bill

  2. This is a sample of what I’ve been cooking on the KK lately, lot of chicken breast used for other things 

     

    this is a Mexican bowl and I used my ONE Fueryr avocado that I got from the tree I planted four years ago to just aji a the avocado instead of making guacamole. Fuerte is one of my favorites and I’m looking forward to staring to grow my harvest exponentially this year

  5. Took my goths to Safari Park this weekend. Stopped by the far stand on the way home. Got some amazing fruit and produce 

    rainbow carrots, asparagus and sweet white corn on the cob along with pork tenderloin 

    My oldest told me that the asparagus “popped” in her mouth it was so fresh. Great summer meal

  6. So I have to I have to say I was a bit disappointed with the outcome today. I bought the Huacatay plant about a month ago, it starting taking off last two weeks I was super excited.for this cook. Remembered this site my mother in law told me a Lutheran I first starting dating my wife. It’s called www.yanuq.com it’s all in Spanish and is traditional Peruvian recipes so thought I was off to a good start 

    used this recipe https://www.yanuq.com/buscador.asp?idreceta=919&cod=32

    all systems go problem is it didnt specify the amount of Hiuacatay….no problem im a good cook I’ll figure it out…..started out good, sauce was green , tasted the Huacatay  (I estimate I used about a cup wipers of fresh Huacatay), tasted good but had no kick, then I remembered I hadn’t put in any aji Amarillo so grabbed two aji Amarillo’s peppers tat are in a jar (candidly an old jar in my fridge). Added them but there was still no source. So I grabbed another Havel of fresh Huacatay and also added two tablespoons of aji Amarillo powder (old as well), still no spices kick so I added two lots tablespoons of aji Amarillo powder and it got SUPER salty and basically got out from under me. My wife says it tasted too much Huacatay it was salty as hell…..also turned a yellow color and more resembled the potato dish called papa a la huacuaina…..not bad tasting but not what I was expecting and if I’m being honest  it was not  as good as the Peruvian “green crack” recipe I’ve been using…..pretty disappointed 

    oh well I will wait for my plant to grow back and try again but the queso fresco & evaporated milk were definitely much closer to the traditional Peruvian flavor profile, so I was encourage to be selling in the right direction…..however I fell off the path with the aji Amarillo tinkering

    I try to keep the ash levels down in the firebox for this reason - uneven airflow. I typically clean it out before every longer cook (4+ hours). I think this is the key to more even burns in the basket. YMMV

    Exactly @tony b sometimes I forget to clean it out before a long burn and that’s usually what happens but like I said it works well with brisket
