Reef's Sunday Big Dinner Thread

Recommended Posts

In the style of my old Sunday night pizza thread I'm going to try a Sunday Big Dinner Thread. Check back every Sunday to see what I have going on. Will try and keep it interesting every Sunday.

.

To start with I present a One Bowl Cuban Pork dish. I got the inspiration from a food truck meal I had Friday for lunch.

.

Ingredients for Cuban Cole Slaw.

.

Ingredients for Corn Risotto.

Had some leftover pulled pork in the freezer. Ingredients for Cuban Pulled Pork.

.

This should be served as a one bowl dish but that wouldn't make a good picture so I served it on a plate.

.

Cuban pulled pork served on a bed of corn risotto topped with a Cuban cole slaw.

TY everyone, the corn risotto was the star of the show in my mind.
.
I used a basic chicken stock risotto recipe. I started by cutting the kernels off 2 ears of corn. I took 1/4 of the kernels put it in a blender with some chicken stock and turned it into liquid. I then boiled the remaining kernels in that liquid until the kernels were cooked to Mrs skreef's liking. I stained the kernels out and set aside. I added the strained liquid to my warm risotto chicken stock. I then made the risotto as normal. When the last of the stock went in I added the butter, cheese, kernels previously set aside and 1 Tbsp Herbs De Province.
.
That's basically it. Very easy and very tasty.

A little late posting Sundays cook but I guess better late than never.
.
Me and Mrs skreef wanted a nice relaxing Sunday. Around 11 am we filled both KK's with lump and fired them up. We got them to settle at the temp we needed initially and let them ride there until we were ready to use them. I find I'm doing this more often these days. It wastes a bit of lump but makes for a more relaxing cook as the KK's are ready when we are.
.
I had some leftover pulled pork in the fridge so decided to do a Brunswick Stew. This cooked on Cassiopeia (19") for 6 hours adding the various ingredients throughout the day as needed.

Here it is towards the end of the cook after all the ingredients were added.

Meanwhile Mrs skreef took over Prometheus (16.5"). She started by baking a cheesecake (full thread already posted).

After she pulled the cheesecake we kept Prometheus cruising along at 350*. Towards the end of the day she baked some corn bread.

Just before dinner I took over Prometheus and grilled a half head of cabbage.

Sorry no money shots for this dinner. Little Prometheus did an outstanding job cruising along all day allowing us to cook the extras while Cassiopeia handled the Stew.

Well I know that cheese cake was an awesome birthday cake but I bet that stew was wonderful too.  Isn't it great that during the hot weather we can cook all day long outside and never miss a beat. :smt023:smt023


My son hates when I cook what he considers winter food (soups, stews etc...) in the summer. Doesn't both me any. Cooked outside so the house doesn't heat up. When it's time to eat air conditioning is running anyway.

My weekend cooking plans got all screwed up again. None of the grocery stores in town had my main ingredient for a planned Mediterranean cook. Go figure but I do have that worked out for next weekend.
.
Meanwhile I did find some really fat (over 2") shark fillets. Planked them on Prometheus.

After dinner adult beverage was a Bistro Mud Slide.

For desert we had cheesecake stuffed peaches. Fortunately my son came outside and enquired about the peaches. I guess we were enjoying the mud slides a little too much and almost burnt up the peaches - LOL
