Mexican manicotti, roasted red pepper hummus with flatbread & maple walnut granola
This is a three fuel/three cooker kettle, egg & blackstone tag team deal, my favorite way to cook. Love beans & grains in any form so made two. Figured too that since the egg was in bake mode I’d toss in a batch of granola after the manicotti was done & make use of that residual heat, stuff can pretty much be baked after shut down, one of the great attributes of ceramic. The flatbread was made the next day so the Blackstone got the nod.
Started off by rolling out some whole wheat pasta sheets (50/50 whole wheat/semolina)
Then stuffed them with refried beans
Made some homemade enchilada sauce & laid the manicotti in, topped with more sauce
Then onto the egg at 350 indirect;
Meanwhile grilled some local sweet corn, onions, bell peppers & my garden serranos & pablanos on the kettle;
Chopped into a chunky, pile, & served:
The hummus, roasted red peppers, cecis, garlic, lemon, lime, water, salt & pepper
The flatbread, just plain pizza dough brushed with olive oil, salt & pepper, herbs afterwards
Dessert, the nuts & twigs.
the batch actually made two full mason jars:
Great weekend

Great cook. I like the combination of flavors in the manicotti. I need to try making manicottie with homemade pasta. I make pasta regularly but haven't done this. It seems you basically cook the pasta in the sauce? No cooking before?Coleman, Texas
Large BGE & Mini Max for the wok. A few old camp Dutch ovens and a wood fired oven. LSG 24” cabinet offset smoker. There are a few paella pans and a Patagonia cross in the barn. A curing chamber for bacterial transformation of meats...
"Bourbon slushies. Sure you can cook on the BGE without them, but why would you?"

THANK YOU @Zippylip !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Marc, that HAD to be among the best breads I have ever had!! And I didn't even make the dough. When I saw this thread earlier today, I knew I had to try the flatbread. Sometimes, when I'm feeling lazy, I buy pizza dough from one of our local grocery stores. It's usually quite good. Bought some today (it was made yesterday) and baked it tonight as you described.
Did it in my oven at 450°. After about 5-6 minutes, I turned on the broiler and continued until the top "looked right". Soft, tender, great oven spring. No cheese, no meat, no tomatoes... and it was still better than most pizzas!!! And it looked just like yours.
Thanks, man - THAT WAS WONDERFUL!!
EDIT: Forgot to mention, I used my baking steel, not the stone.
