While doing the first shake down cruise in the 100 since big parts install...we stopped by Nepanthe on the Big Sur coast to eat and also let the new diff bearings cool down. Had a wild shrimp BLT. Have made tons of fresh salmon BLTs courtesy of the Hayes Street Grill serving them to us years ago at the Ferry Market in SF; but this was a first for the shrimp BLTs (grilled shrimp). Sorry no pic but I'll be making these at home!

Thanks for the reminder Split!

The wife's away and the kids want burgers and hotdogs. The burgers are 1/2 93% and 1/2 breakfast sausage. They turn out tasting bratwursty, juicy and delicious!

Hmmmm, wonder who gets that 1.5" New York?

Edit: his do you attach pics from a smartphone?

Thanks!
I made these last night. The rice was fantastic but the chops were a bit overdone. Need more practice with the Dutch oven.


SPICY MAPLE-GLAZED PORK CHOPS WITH DIRTY RICE

This is my favorite go-to dish at the moment. I have made this recipe at home and at camp, for anything from a dinner party of four to a group of 10+. It’s easy to throw together and will knock the socks off your guests. The only gear you will need is a Dutch oven and spatula; the recipe below will serve four but if you have decently large pork chops, cut them in half and you will have plenty for eight.

What you’ll need

· 4 healthy-sized pork chops

· 1 bell pepper, sliced

· 1 red onion, thin sliced

· Garlic (to taste), chopped

· Tony Chachere’s seasoning (or any Cajun seasoning)

· Maple syrup – as much as you would put on your pancakes

· 2 boxes of Uncle Ben’s long grain and wild rice

· 4 cups of water

· 2 tbsp. butter or oil

Grease down the dutchie with some oil of your choice, put it on the burner/fire, and toss in the chops, garlic, bell pepper, and onion. Drizzle maple syrup over it and sprinkle in some Tony’s. If you are using a grill grate over a fire or putting the pot directly on some coals make sure to keep an eye on temperature; you don’t want too high of heat, just enough to brown both sides of the chops and cook the veggies nicely. Once the chops have browned sufficiently throw the rice and the seasoning packets that came with it in the pot with water and butter. Give the dutchie a stir and cover to allow the water to come to a boil. Let it simmer for as long as you can stand it, until the rice is cooked and the water has absorbed, maybe around 30 minutes. You might want to crack the lid to allow some of the steam to escape for the last few moments. Dig in and enjoy.

Hmmm, I may have to try this with ground and beer brats, or even chorizo

 

[TRAIL TAILOR]

Sorry, no pics, but brats and beer butt chicken with grilled 'shrooms, onions and peppers and the wife made blue corn polenta with basil and walnut (Dan) pesto... It was an interesting combo, but awesome nonetheless.

I need to play catch-up here. I've had so few nights at home the last 2 months and rarely took pics when I was here. Last night was a marathon on the EGG - I started with pecan smoked chicken leg quarters that I rubbed with a mix of bought rubs (trying to use them all up). The smoke taste was rather prominent today on the leftovers but was perfectly minimal last night.

Next was a sheet pan of raw peanuts. I had to use up a bag I've had lingering in the basement. I went a little long on them while i was distracted. Not perfect, but edible.

Next was a loaf of Fleischmann's Simply Homemade Stoneground Wheat bread (just add water!). Don't laugh, it was cheap on sale, easy and turned out fine for my needs last night. It was mostly a test to see if the wife would complain that it was 'smokey' cooked on the EGG. It wasn't. It'll probably be easy to adapt to a dutch oven as I branch out into camping more.

Next was bacon & sage dried apricots. Drizzled some maple syrup and honey over them when done. Mmmmh, fruit and bacon together at last.

The wife wanted her chicken in egg form, as opposed to leg form, but I didn't do that on the EGG. I did, however, use my Lodge cast steel pan in the kitchen. Perfect. And the bread served her well to sop up the yolks.

Again, no food pics, so we'll just comfort the monkey…

I did manage a pic of the duck from last week. Smoked beer can style over apple. All the trimmed fat got rendered in the cast irons for future use.

 

[spressomon]

Among other things I'm very interested in your apricot idea JV!

 

[TRAIL TAILOR]
