What did everyone cook today?
-
Cut up my corned beef brisket today in prep for Thursday, half for St. Patrick’s day meal the other half goes to pastrami. Put the pastrami on this morning and ended up with an auger problem on my Traeger. It’s the only thing I didn’t pull when I torn it down a couple of weeks ago. Apparently I had a burn back into the auger tube and swelled pellets which froze the auger shaft. Fixed that and got things smoking. The small bits are some maple cure scraps from a pork loin that I thought I would try a new cure recipe on that I made up. It will work out really well for Canadian bacon and simple. Just three ingredients, Smoked sea salt, sure cure, maple sugar. The pastrami has been on for 10 hours, will cover at 10 pm (12 hrs. on smoke) and let go until 6am at 180 degrees.

johnsbrewhouse That corn beef looks great I bet with a good bunch of cabbage you will have a great meal I have ever made my own and the wife don’t care for it so I guess I’ll have a steak Thursday the pastrami looks like it is well on the way to very good

Getting ready for St. Paddy’s day. I was going to make a Shepherds Pie, but technically it is a Hunters Pie since I used ground venison. It was tasty. I washed it down with a Guinness Xtra stout.

gus4416 Thank you. I put the Homemade marinara sauce in them too along with some Provolone, Mozzarella, Asiago, & Ricotta cheese, Salami, Peppered Salami, Pepperoni, & Italian sausage, along with a little sautéed Olive, Mushroom, onion, garlic, Poblano, Cubanero, & Jalapoleno pepper. As you can see, they are loaded. Surprisingly enough, they cut perfectly though.

Got a hankering for some homemade Calzones. What the stomach asks for, the stomach gets. As much as they do not look very professional, they always taste better than professional. Andrew made the dough as he really likes doing that & I made the Calzones along with the homemade marinara sauce to dip them in.

calldoctoday man do those look great. I haven’t had a good colzone in a long time.

Cod fillets done with chicken on the run. I took tex77 advice and added a little corn meal. Turned out great! -

johnsbrewhouse Never fails. You get everything ready and something will mess with your plans. Glad it was an easy fix. The pistrami looks very nice.

The finished pastrami after 20 hours of smoking and cooking, along with cooling. The pepper flavor is super. I just picked up another corned beef today since they were on sale for $4.45 lb.

Bob Stehlik You are pardoned, I am enjoying a 1/2 test sandwich right now because the slicing and tasting of tidbits made me hungry.

johnsbrewhouse Great looking pastrami & great looking prices. How big was that one before smoking? I see a whole lot of Reuben Sandwiches in your future.
