Howdy...


Finally had a day off after weeks of being very busy with my day job and BBQ. Time for some comfort food !

Had a nice 20 ounce T-Bone from Argentina in the fridge. Some Olive Oil and kosher salt was all that it needed.

Some fried mushrooms and onions and grilled Naan Bread for sides.

Cooked the Steak on a raised grate on the large egg with some rosemary twigs and olive wood for smoke.

This Steak was out of this world delicious. image


I thought chicken thighs would make for a good evening Snack. So i rubbed them with my PigWings rub and cooked them in a muffin pan with some Cherry and Jack Daniels woodchips. Took em out at 160, let rest and then crisped up the skin and glazed with Jack Daniels and Maple Syrup. Those thighs were just perfect, nice "bite through" skin and very juicy.

    Thanks for the feedback guys  :D

    The egg center is not finished yet, i plan to build a huge u-shaped table with the eggs mounted inside, lots of workspace, sink and a bar. Time and $$$ slow me down a tad though...  :?

    Regarding the Naan recipe, me and my team wrote a cookbook that has been released this spring.

    image

    Heres our Naan recipe, i just translated it. any questions, let me know.

    [quote][i]
    8 Portions :

    800 Gramms of all purpose flour
    1 package active dry yeast
    3 tbs sugar
    2 cups yoghurt
    2 tsp kosher salt
    1 egg

    2 cups melted butter

    mix 3 tbs flour and 3/4 cup of warm water and the yeast in a large bowl. add 1 tsp of the sugar. let rest for 10 minutes to start the yeast. there should be some foam that shows it is active.

    mix the joghurt with the remaining sugar and salt in another bowl. mix in the egg, add everything to the yeast mixture and mix ( i use a kitchen aid mixer) it while adding the rest of the flour. mix for at least 10 minutes to have a nice doughball.  put the dough into a bowl and baste with just a little bit of melted butter. Let the dough rise, preferably over night.

    preheat your grill for direct and indirect cooking at 350-450 F. Divide the dough into 16 portions and let them rest covered for another 10 minutes.

    Then punch the doughballs flat and tear them apart until they are flat and thin. tearing gives a way better structure than rolling out. The outside can be a little thicker, its actually quite similiar to making small pizzas.  

    Baste the dough with the butter on both sides and grill over direct heat until crispy and done. you can finish them indirect if you like to.

    I like to add a little sea salt while grilling them. [/i]

    I hope you like the recipe. it sounds like more work than it actually is, actually its very easy, can be prepared a day ahead, is very tasty and quite a show for your guests. ;-)

    heres some more pics of our book in case youre interested :

    I have not had lunch yet and licking the screen just messed up the screen.  Everything really, really  looks good.  Were the chicken thighs de-boned, and why place them in a muffin pan?  Also, is your cookbook available through Amazon? Would love getting my hands on that book.
