Need a cook idea for this weekend possibly - Easy
I am looking for a great meal off the Egg to get me motivated to use it again over the winter. I do not want pulled pork, spatchcock chicken/turkey, pork loins, ribs or steaks. Also not looking for true BBQ flavor (so now BBQ sauce or BBQ type rubs).
Any ideas for a good cook - It has to be a cook where I light the Egg - Hopefully get it settled at a temp around 300-350 (And if the temp moves higher or lower so be it - had allot of issues dialing it in the last few times). After 30 minutes or so place the meat on the Egg and go back into the house for a few hours (2-4). After a few hours take off the meat, shut down the Egg and go into the house. Serve eventually. I do not want any cook that I have to constantly fiddle with - and I do not have a remote temperature probe anymore - maverick does not work anymore.
Made chili a few times and its good but not standing outside in the cold to make it.
What can I do - I want flavor?

I did not like the meatloaf I made - I think the porous meat (ground beef) took up too much smoke I think.

Rob, you really put a lot of limitations on what you want to cook!How about Chicken Cordon Bleu:
- 4 Boneless chicken breast (or one per person)
- 4 slices ham
- 4 slices swiss cheese
- Seasoned bread crumbs
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup milk
For the sauce:- 1 can Campbell’s cream of chicken soup
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1/3 cup dry white wine
- ½ cup milk (approximately)
- ¼ teaspoon sage
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
Trim any fat from the chicken breasts, pound to a thickness of about ½” (I use a small frying pan to pound. You want them all to be the same thicknessUsing a sharp knife, cut a deep pocket into each breast.Layer ham and cheese inside the pocketDip in egg wash made by beating eggs and milk, then into bread crumbs, covering completely.Place chicken breasts in a greased baking dish. HYOu could cook directly on the grid but will loose some of the cheese that melts and drips.At this point you can refrigerate the chicken until you are ready to bake.To make the sauce, combine all ingredients in a sauce pan. Add milk to get the right consistency.Heat to a simmer, allow the alcohol to evaporate.Bake chicken breasts for 40 min @ 350°, top with sauce. Note, the sauce recipe makes enough for probably 8 of these.I like to serve with a rice pilaf - could be cooked in a covered pot on the egg.XLBGE, Small BGE, Homebrew and GuitarsRochester, NY - 4 Boneless chicken breast (or one per person)

It is kind of pulled pork, but no BBQ flavor, really easy, and really flavorful!

For Thanksgiving, I bought an inexpensive spiral cut ham, and went to the trouble of making a maple/blueberry syrup glaze. Brushed the glaze between half the cuts, which let me cut 2 different flavors from the same cook.

I'll get it another time then. Dont want it to go bad.
Thanks

Lamb's good both ways - fast and hot so it's rare in the middle or low and slow to falling-off-the-bone (but done in a pan with some taters, parsnips, carrots and turnips thrown in for the last hour).Tony in Brentwood, TN.

Boy you have a lot of conditions. Anyway...I'd say you need pizza on the egg. I think it meets your criteria, but can't be sure.-----------I feel a whole lot more like I do now than I did when I got here.

Tri tip. Make this and it will renew your faith in the egg. Slice thin and serve room temp whenever you want. Win Win!! The chimichurri will smack you in the face with flavor. b-(

Rob, It sounds to me like right now you're just not into egging :-jMaybe the pizza from down the street (thin crust of course) is a good idea!XLBGE, Small BGE, Homebrew and GuitarsRochester, NY

How about this for a "leave-it-alone" cook? Use lamb shanks, sear them and put in a DO with almost any veggies you can think of, rosemary and thyme, s & p, with a cup of red or white wine and enough stock to cover. Stick it on the egg, raised indirect at 275-300. Grab a six pack and put yer feet up for 2 hours. Presto - dinner is ready and so good you'll want to wear it on your head! >-

Google nibble me this faux coshon de lait. I serve on hoagies with red wine vinegar slaw.Green egg, dead animal and alcohol. The "Boro".. TN

# of shanks depends on how many people but four or five in a covered DO would work - leftovers are loverly - beef stock or chicken with an OXO cube will work (I use an English concoction called Bovril (on e-Bay) added to a chicken stock if I don't have any home-made. If you flour the shanks first you'll get a thicker, heartier gravy. Make sure you have some crusty bread for mop-up!
