ckreef Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 This is my entry in the May challenge over on the Guru. Sriracha lime chicken and onions served on a bed of lime risotto with a side of grilled lime carrots. I normally cook by the seat of my pants but....... This was a multi part cook using 3 kamados and an outdoor burner. I figured I better scribble some notes so I don't forget anything. First we needed to properly lubricate the chef with a Blackcurrant Lime Vodkatini or 3. After being properly lubricated the above notes proved very helpful - LOL Sriracha lime chicken and onions. Lime risotto. Grilled lime carrots. Drum roll please ... ... ... ... I love these challenge cooks to really push me. Fairly simple recipes. The hardest part was firing up and managing 3 kamados while cooking the risotto on the outdoor burner. All round good cook. Probably the best carrots I've ever cooked. Set a new standard for carrots at the Bistro. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love chili lime on carrots so this makes complete sense to me. I am thinking this dish is currently the top contender for my vote- this is right up my alley in the kinds of food I love to eat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am thinking this dish is currently the top contender for my vote- this is right up my alley in the kinds of food I love to eat Check this out. These limited edition veggie marinades I've only found at Walmart. They make a bunch of different flavors. All of them I've tried had a really strong flavor. I did a test carrot cook last week using this spice blend. I did the full recipe but only half a packet. OMG - it'll fire you up. Way hotter than my son could be handle. And it needed a good squirt of fresh squeezed lime juice. All these limited edition veggie marinades have potential but the basic mixing directions will need some tweaking. Used their Basil Balsamic veggie marinade on grilled asparagus (full recipe, half packet). Was the best grilled Asparagus to date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skreef Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 (edited) I have refrain from posting til now cause I don't like lime in food only with the exception of homemade salsa. But... But I really enjoyed the chicken.. It was loaded with flavor with the saute onions and the carrots were very good and tender but not mushy. The Risotto was a bit to lime-me but the texture was perfect.. Exception of the lime flavor, I think this was his best Risotto to date. Over all, this was a Winner. Great job managing all your grills and burner like a pro.. Thanks for another great meal. Edited May 14, 2017 by skreef Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
