Another great fish meal on the Kamado. I live in the Rochester. my area and we went out on a friends boat last night in Lake Ontario 1fa2ffc1c31f8ee6bc8619182b6722d5.jpg
, had some great conversations and caught some steelhead and salmon. Today I cooked a steelhead filet that I brushed with olive oil, sprinkled with sea salt and fresh ground pepper, as well as B T Leigh’s Something for Spring Asian rub on cast iron at 400°. My wife made lemon artichoke pasta as a side. Both were wonderful.caddf1156a4f848bbb9096d35a5afcca.jpg

Great looking cooks all.  Late to the party but I have to say that that porchetta looks mighty good @remi!  As for you @C6Bill - what lady friend wouldn't be happy with a partner who cooks her a whole turkey AND bakes the bread for her turkey sandwich?!

Mac's photos reminded me of my chicken cook on my 16 last time I was in Italy.  It was swelteringly hot and I imagine the KK could cook the chicken low and slow without even being lit!  My evening guests were sensible people and I didn't imagine them wanting to stand outside with me while I tended to my cook so I decided to cheat.  I got the smoke into my chicken legs by cooking them in the KK in the afternoon.  They did come out nice and crispy.

I also roasted some peppers and grilled some skewers.  A blessing because there was no way I was going to light an oven in my non air conditioned kitchen!

The cheat?  When my guests arrived I heated, and further crisped up, my chicken legs in the air fryer.  Not as juicy as when they first came out of the KK but they did retain a lovely smoke flavour.

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 

Hey there @Troble.  Did you ever nail an updated Peruvian crack recipe?  I have four giant Huacatay mint plants and am looking to cook your pollo alla brasa recipe this coming weekend.  I found this description of a sauce from the company that sold me the seeds.  Does it approximate to what you have found too?

To make authentic Magical Peruvian Green Sauce or "Ají de Huacatay":
You need: 1 rocoto pepper , 1 hot yellow Aji pepper - both with the seeds removed!, 1 cup of huacatay leaves, a small sprig of mint leaves, Lime juice, lots of garlic, olive oil, salt.
Put everything except the oil in a blender. Blend the peppers garlic and leaves together, adding oil until you get a smooth puree, kind of like making mayonnaise. Add salt to taste.
