What did everyone cook today?

[Jonathon]

Tex_77 NICE looking! Get a lot of use out of that Dutch Oven?

[Tex_77]

Jonathon I do, it’s a lodge, the one thing I don’t like about it is the walls aren’t straight down on the inside, so you lose a little space for browning. I keep thinking I want to buy a Staub, then I look at the price and change my mind.

[Jonathon]

Tex_77 The walls aren’t straight down or are? I don’t understand how them being straight down would create less room? Or do they go out in other dutch ovens?

[Tex_77]

Jonathon Fixed it.

Tried a Parmesan crusted sirloin this weekend. Was actually quite good. I just melted a couple tablespoons of butter, mixed in Parmesan until it thickened up, then added some garlic powder. Definitely going to do this again, especially with lesser cuts.! I added it on top of the steak and then cranked the heat up for a couple minutes. Forgot to get the “after picture” as we were too busy eating!

[Jonathon]

Brianh I am VERY guilty of taking the before and getting too excited and eating before I take an after pic! Look good man!

[Joe Hell]

Jonathon I’m also that guy! I’ve got a unique cut of beef ribs with attached ‘Denver’ steak in the smoker and a Tomahawk that I’m doing in the fire pit today

[Cabelas90]

Joe Hell Chuck short ribs with extra meat left on? I need pics of this!

[Joe Hell]

Cabelas90 The ribs turned out good but next time I’ll bring it up a few more degrees. I will have the shop cut a couple more and take proper photos!

Tex_77 I made a glorious twist on a Reuben pizza tonight with a lemon roasted Brussel sprout, house pastrami (steamed Katz style) and spinach with homemade Russian dressing. The pizza was cooked in a carbon skillet in the oven for a deep dish style pie.

[Tex_77]

Joe Hell looks good

[Jonathon]

Tex_77 Can you list a bit of a recipe for that? Looks amazing! Joe Hell that looks good but how DARE you put Brussel Sprouts on Pizza?!

[Joe Hell]

Jonathon lol. I didn’t have any kraut and the last thing I wanted to do was go to the grocery store. People are going bonkers these days.

Jonathon erich52 Here is the just of how I made it.

4 chicken breasts diced in 1 inch cubes, seasoned with cajun seasoning
2 lbs smoked sausage i used Hatch Green Chili and Cheddar (could use Andouille)
1 chopped onion
15oz or so chopped fire roasted tomatoes
Garlic fresh or powder to taste
I made the linguine in a separte pot using chicken broth for the liquid (throw a couple servings spoons full of the liquid into the final product to loosen it up)
1 pint of heavy cream
3 oz of cream cheese
black pepper and more cajun seasoning to taste
Butter and Oil for cooking the chicken and onions

Cook the cream down until it thickens a bit, then mix in the cooked noodles. A nice addition would be shrimp, but I didn’t have any on hand.

That’s best I can do off hand, this isn’t baking it’c cooking, so just eyeball it and cook it to your preference.

[Jonathon]

Tex_77 Thanks, that’ll get anyone who wants to try close enough! I’ll be doing this eventually on a day I have a ton of carbs available or something. Speaking of the Hatch Green Chili, I made some chicken sausage with them this weekend and it works very well in chicken!

Stuffed pork loin Tuscan style was last nights dinner fare.

I didn’t have any prosciutto so I used some homemade bacon as a substitute.

Garlic, fresh rosemary & lemon zest were heated in 1/3 cup of EVOO then strained, added to cubed bacon in the food processor & ground into a paste.

The olive oil was reserved & the juice of a lemon that was grilled was add to make a vinaigrette for the roast.

2 1/2 hrs later We were feasting. ! tuscan pork loin 3.15.20.3.gif
