Troble

I was inspired by @remi cook of my Peruvian polo a la brass so decided to make it tonight. Never disappoints 

@tony bi ate at a good Peruvian place yesterday and struck up a conversation with the chef who asked me where I sourced ingredients in San Diego…told him I grow my aji  Amarillo and we got to discussing the Peruvian green sauce…the real stuff used a herb called Huacatay and I purchase a plant yesterday https://thegrowers-exchange.com/products/huacatay?variant=40098478522449&currency=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&utm_campaign=gs-2019-12-19&utm_source=google&utm_medium=smart_campaign&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIj-iu7pTDhQMV0MzCBB1mJQ-HEAQYASABEgLDnfD_BwE

I am going to make it my mission to nail down the authentic version of this sauce this year. The jalapeño substitute is fine but the real deal is so much better. This chef used jarred Huacatay but he asked me to bring him the real stuff along with my fresh aji Amarillo which I’ve already started growing this week….stay tuned for updates but I’m gonna figure this out this year….going to Peru for two week over Christmas so I will get this “Peruvian crack” recipe nailed down this year 

Flat iron, carrots, air fryer potatoes 

Rotisserie lamb, dirty rice, Mediterranean salad, tadziiki 

Peruvian spice rub tri-tip

baby carrots 

air fryer potatoes 

chimmichuri 

Roast chicken, mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables & gravy 

@remiive seen al pastor  pizza in San Diego it’s definitely a thing. Nice job!

I’ve been experimenting off and on with a “Peruvian spiced brisket” over the past four years or so and today I got a little closer to truly nailing the flavors I’m looking for 

soy sauce pat down followed by Peruvian spice rub of aji Amarillo, aji pancake, salt, pepper, garlic powder, little brown sugar 

tasty bark!

@alimac23looks tasty!

@jonji have a feeling that could happen this summer. I started a new job and will be traveling to the Midwest more. I’m kind of targeting a business trip that coincides with the USA Copa America match in KC, but it’s Monday July 1st so will have to see

Oh my goodness, I knew I should not have looked at this awesome goodness before breakfast. What a grand dinner, Troble.    

@MacKenziethanksgiving dinner would be my “death row meal”. I love it more than any other plate. I forgot to do green beans this year but the turkey was the finest I’ve cooked in my life to date so that was nice. Wet brined for 24 hours in hot water, apple juice, kosher salt, garlic powder, black peppercorns, fresh cut lemon thyme from the garden, Montreal steak seasoning, fresh cut honeycrisp apple chunks and a pinch of brown sugar. Then rubbed with Irish butter, thyme, rosemary mix and place two slices of Irish butter under the skin on top of the breast meat 

smoked on the KK at 225 with apple wood for 5 hours until thighs were 165 and rested for 3 hours before carving. Absolutely tasty. My new bar for Thanksgiving turkeys 

Happy Thanksgiving!

This is a relatively simple dish took cook. I tried to recreate this from a dish my wife ordered in Aguas Calirnte, which is the town at the base of Manchu Pichu

i took

a chicken breast and rubbed salt, garlic powder and cumin on it. Then sliced the side and inserted goat cheese. I let the rub settle in for about an hour then put in fridge for another couple hours before cooking

made some tricolor quinoa, let it cool down or even get cold. Then took eggs and mixed them in a bowl and prepared a bowl of flour.next to it took the quinoa and spread it on a plate 

took out chicken and dipped in flour first, then soaked in egg, then pressed on the quinoa, when I flip the chicken over to press the other side in the quinoa I use my hands to make sure I cover the entire breast with quinoa. Put into baking dish. Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes and finish under the broiler for another 10 minutes at 376 so the quinoa gets crusty on top 

serve with mashed potatoes and a little homemade gravy and you’ve got Peruvian quinoa crusted chicken breast stuffed with goat cheese

Thanks @C6Bill I ended up watching his YouTube videos and went that route. Think it turned out pretty good for my first attempt. Everyone loved it 

Pizza night 

I have never made burnt ends. I would like to change that. Thinking of trying it out in two weeks. Saw a video online about separating the point from the flat and smoking each piece separately and turning the point into burnt ends. Thought that might be a good idea to try 

anyone got a killer brisket burnt end recipe I should try?

thanks in advance 

@braindoc I know that shop. I prefer going to Swagyu locally here though but good stuff. I got American Wagyu brisket this week from Costco Business $6.49/lb can’t beat it 

@Tyrus just the apple juice spritz
