How did all y'all celebrate Mardi Gras? 

Cajun-blackened pork wings on the KK.

Plated with Dirty Rice made with duck confit and "hairy coats" (that's cajun for green beans, y'all!) with a shallot creole sauce.

And, of course, Hurricanes! Served in the appropriate Pat O'Brien's glass, circa 1977!

Bon Temps, y'all!

Well, we finally had the time to have the neighbours over for dinner: given the success last time, I thought I’d knock out another Al Pastor. Picked up 4.5kg (10lb) of pork butt on my bike, marinated up and we were good to go. They loved it- and with 10lb of pork we’ve got plenty of leftovers for the week’s meals.

@Troble, I’m going to find an excuse to go to San Diego for a conference, and buy you a beer!

There are quite a few of us here who need to buy @Troble a beer!

[Troble]

@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

Holler at me if you make it to Iowa!

Cooked a tandoori marinated lamb leg yesterday, served with mint raita, garlic naan and mango chutney, such a tasty meal!

Very nice. Love lamb. Love tandoori. 1 + 1 = Yummy!

First Pulled Pork of the year 😊

I prepared the meat, my wife the coleslaw and buns. Delicious:)

 

[Troble]

@alimac23looks tasty!

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!

[remi]

Don’t get too upset @Troble, but in the quest to utilise the leftovers, we had Al Pastor pizza tonight. All the trimmings on my side, but just the meat and cheese for the kids. They loved it.

I’m a firm believer that almost everything can be made into a pizza, and even more so into a toasted sandwich (I had an Al Pastor Toastie for lunch!).

@Troble killer bark on that brisket! 

@remi I believe that, too. Great use of leftovers. I'm going to make a pot of beef stew for dinner tonight using a chunk of smoked brisket that I found recently hiding in my chest freezer.

What he said!

Also love the idea of an al pastor pizza.  Yum!

[Troble]

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

cold smoked salmon. i still can't figure out how to get the wood chips to burn for more than 1.5 hours without my intervention. maybe i need a more powerful air pump... but the smoke is intense enough that i just left it over night and it was pretty good flavour. 

[tony b]

Salmon takes up smoke so easily, I'm not surprised that yours came out well with only a couple of hours of smoke. It's all in the prep to build up the pellicle for the smoke to attach to.

Took advantage of better temps today and did some chicken drumsticks. 

Plated with pickled onion, potatoes and carrots.

Interior.

 

[Troble]

Roast chicken, mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables & gravy

@Troble, wish I'd been at that table.

Beautiful day here in the Boston area so I decided to make a batch of chicken breasts. I’ve been dealing with some blood pressure issues lately so I haven’t been doing as much of the good stuff as I had in the past. I’m just trying to teach myself moderation lol But tomorrow I’ll be making an exception and making a nice porterhouse 😁 Anyways todays cooking and a little BB32 eye candy too 😉 My lady friend wanted to try some chicken with just salt and pepper, they don’t look too appetizing but it’s what she wanted so it’s what I made for her. Anyways, happy cooking everyone !!!!!

 

PS, the sourdough is a whole grain sourdough. I’m almost offended that everyone likes it better than my typical extra tangy loafs. Don’t tell them but I do too lol I use KA Super 10 and the KA Harvest Grains to replace 100 grams of the APF
