    Dude,

    tired of the GF thing. I think it's time to marry the woman. Sounds like you really scored above your ability.

    Default Called Out

    Two pork butts, dry rub (secret stuff, ok cumin, smoked paprica, thyme, rosemary, chili powder, some salt, brown sugar, not too much salt...A RUB, freelance,). Overnight. Check out rubs, online, good stuff.

    Then it is heat, low and slow...Slow on the oven as you can, 4-6 hours. Seal the roaster pan with foil, we're lookin 'for some slow cookin'. The sauce is up to you, chef! I pour 2 bottles of Lienies in the roaster pre-heat. Steam. Sauce base.

    Oh, while the shit cooks, drink two of these beers. BBQ thoughts of love.

    tonight i did a quick 'n dirty green curry with whatever veggies were in the crisper (greeen beans, broccoli, cauliflower, carrot), my secret stash of thai herbs & spices, some coconut milk and a free range/organic/fair trade chicken breast. simmer for 20mins while the jasmine rice steams and serve.

    too hot for the young 'un but the mrs loved it.

    This is good stuff gang!

    Amy and I are racing in St Louis this weekend at the Gateway Cup. We scored a Marriott Residence with a full kitchen so we don't have to even think about eating out...so we will stock up at Whole Foods(paycheck) and cook it up nice and healthy for the weekend. SO keep the home cookin' coming!

    Default big t-bones ...

    ... with a shitaki port wine reduction.

    remove and discard the stems, slice the shrooms, then saute with butter in a skillet that does not have a non-stick finish.

    remove shrooms and deglaze pan with port. add some beef stock with a bit of arrow root to thicken. before reduction has been completed, return the shrooms to the pan.

    laddle over steak. oh' baby.

    You're killing me. I love to see thick tuna steaks on the grill or pan change colors. Salt, pepper, Hojiblanco olive oil on top after it's ready.

    This is what I'm trying out for the in-laws this weekend

    Skirt Steak With Salsa Verde and Ricotta Salata

    Marinated steak
    ½ cup vegetable oil
    ¼ cup dry red wine
    ¼ cup red wine vinegar
    1 small red onion, minced
    3 garlic cloves, minced
    1 tbsp tomato paste
    ½ tbsp ground cumin
    1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
    ½ tsp sweet pimentón de la Vera (smoked Spanish paprika)
    ½ tsp hot pimentón de la Vera
    Finely grated zest and juice of 1 lemon
    5½ lbs skirt steak

    Salsa verde
    1½ cups extra-virgin olive oil
    10 anchovy filets, minced
    4 medium shallots, minced
    ¼ cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
    2 tbsp drained capers, chopped
    2 tbsp minced chives
    1 tbsp minced tarragon
    Salt and freshly ground pepper
    1 cup shredded ricotta salata (1 oz)

    Marinate steak: In food processor, combine marinade ingredients and blend. In large, shallow dish, pour marinade over steaks; turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Bring to room temperature before grilling.

    Make salsa verde: In bowl, combine olive oil with anchovies, shallots, parsley, capers, chives, tarragon. Season with salt and pepper, whisk until blended.

    Light grill. Pat steaks dry and season with salt. Grill steaks over high heat until medium-rare, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer meat to carving board and let rest 5 minutes. Thinly slice skirt steaks across grain; arrange on platter. Drizzle steaks with salsa verde and sprinkle with ricotta salata. Serve immediately, passing remaining salsa verde at table. Serves 12.

    Might do it this weekend.

    Default and this bears repeatng

    Get some cut up chicken. Four or six quarters might be good.

    Coarsely chop about 3-4" of a ginger root, a medium sized onion and the better part of a bulb of garlic. Put it in a bowl and dump about 6 tablespoons of smoked paprika on it, about a teaspoon or two of ground coriander and cardamom - make it two, you want this to be tasty - zest a couple of lemons and finely chop it and dump it in the bowl, add about a teaspoon or so of salt and black pepper, squeeze the lemon's juice into the bowl, add about five or six tablespoons of olive oil and stir the whole thing into a paste.

    Feel free to add other spices that work with the paprika/cardamom/coriander notes.

    Gum the paste all over the chicken, stick that in another bowl and put it in the fridge for a few hours.

    Light your grill, grill the chicken. The paste makes a great crust and keeps the chicken all moist.

    Eat.

    This is my interpretation of RiHans dish:

    1. Cut two cantelope melons into small pieces (rough chop is fine).

    2. Add to a non-reactive pan cantelope + some butter over med./low heat until most of the moisture is gone. This may take some time, don't let the cantelope carmelize. (use a S.S. pan)

    3. Add some tomato paste for color (tomatoes are in season reduce some fresh ones)

    4. Stir in cracked black and white pepper corns. Be generous. Continue simmer (I used a mortar and pestle)

    5. lower heat and add enough sour creme to taste (3 tbl spoons / melon should work).

    6. Add Pepper Taggliateli or good fettucini cooked al dente' to the melon mixture and cook thru tossing...perhaps another 5 mins. over med. heat. Save some pasta water an add about 1 cup or more if your pan is "tight"...eg too dry.

    7. Plate with chopped flat leaf parsley and generous curls of P.Reggiano.

    This is what I made for Deb and Rich the other night...it went well with green and yellow wax beans / brown'd mushrooms yummm.
