What did everyone cook today?

JoeB For the pork loin roast: What seasonings did you put in the vacuum packet during the sous vide? I know I’d be putting in a bunch of garlic. Was just wondering. “Welcome to the goodness.” Sous Vide is not for everything. But, for leaner cuts of meat, it’s fantastic. I did salmon for a neighbor and seasoned according to her specs yesterday (119 for 45 mins) and the boss told her hubby that they are getting a unit. She said it was more tender and tasteful than the one she had a 5 star restaurant. I know, brats are not lean. That’s at least one exception. Hey, I learned a bunch from these other jokers here (aka: the tricks) on a variety of topics. That’s what it’s all about. Have another great day.
zbigjeff All 3 sausages were batched with 45% chuck roll, 45% pork butt, 10% pork butt fat. They were vac packed and froze several months ago. SV 4hrs @ 140*, Minimal fat loss. Seared on the weber s-435 for looks… Came out great. I like to grill my sausages fresh, but poach is a convenience for traveling. Also Bockwurst, and many Bratwurst are factory poached / steamed, as with hotdogs. I would like to buy a steam box but they are toooo proud of them$$. Spent many years in Europa, most wurst at the roadside stands, which is common place, are kept in hot water, and served with brotchen with a glob of mustard not grilled.

Having a real hard time posting replies… Keeps tagging that i lost connection?? Everything is ok on my end. Might show up as 10 post of the same comments. . . . Hope not
Simple prep: Since I was going to vac the loin (5lbs), I used a small sharp knife to puncture it all over about 30-35 times. Lathered with cheap mustard and used a generous amount of my house Dalmatian rub. 1c coarse salt, 1c pepper, 1/4c paprika, 1/4c accent. Let it dry brine too rm temp. The SV was preheated to 140*. Cooked for apx 5hrs. Saved the drippings, (minimal) for Aujus, then tossed it on my Weber S-435 that has a built in searing station for looks. Sliced ¼” very light trace of pink, and great texture.

zbigjeff Just me! I was feeding 4 with that meal, but as you can see it has plenty of room with 4 burners and 36 inch wide cook top.

JoeB I kept getting that yesterday. Hasn’t happened today. I went in and cleared my cache last night and it seems to have helped. I’ll ask Austin if he knows what might be causing this.

JoeB Yep, very simple. But effective. Thanks for the info on the seasonings. Was just curious. Planning on making triple wide pork chops this week. Which is basically the same thing. But, just smaller pieces. Thinking of using a Jaccard tenderizer to puncture and allow seasoning to penetrate. Keep on having fun.

Chef oh my god that looks incredible! I’ve though about trying a muffaletta brat a few times but never got past the thinking stage. Might have to revisit that again!

Chef Muffuletta, my favorite sandwich, had one at Central Grocery about 2 months before the flood

Chef That is one amazing muffaletta!

Chef Muffuletta: Yep, you’re an overachiever. Yay for YOU. Making your own bread. The place must’ve smelled heavenly. Way to go. You did an amazing job.

Chef it looks amazing! Recently returned from LA and I should have gone out for one of those sandwiches, but did have a mudbug boil and some boudin. Great looking bread.

Hey Chef…I, for one, would love to try your recipe for both the salad and bread as that looks like an awesome sandwich !!!
