did some sea scallops the other night, in three different ways all at the same time. bit of a juggling act but it turned out great.[p]here's the dizzy pig with accoutrements all ready to go.
left to right it's: tsunami spin with fresh coconut in orange juice and dark rum; next is swamp venom, fresh pineapple, and tequila (too much in that bowl, next time just a splash on the pineapple); last it's raging river on some garlic and shallot with olive oil and brandy[p][p]i took the coconut, pineapple and garlic and sauted them in individual small cast iron pans. this thickened the pan sauces and browned the chunky stuff. next time i'd add pineapple juice to the pineapple, and use less tequila (just a drizzle) to marinate, as the alcohol didn't burn off and was a BIT overly strong at the end. the oj thickened nicely because of the sugar, and so i might add some brown sugar to the pineapple to for the same reason. the garlic got a good amount of olive oil AFTER sauteing, otherwise it woulda deep-fried the garlic. after i sauted everything, i reserved it, and seared the scallops right in each of the same pans.[p][p]after about 2 to 3 minutes a side (don't flip if they stick to the pan, flip only when ready), i reintroduced each of the batches of sauted stuff back into the respective pans to heat them and meld the flavors a bit more.[p]then, the orange/coconut got (CAREFULLY) a 1/3 cup of rum, the pineapple got 1/3 cup of tequila, and the garlicky stuff got 1/3 cup of brandy. i hit each with a burning twig to flambe' them and burn off the alcohol.[p][p]the last pic is each batch resting and ready to chow. left-to-right is the finished pineapple/tequila (again, i'd add maybe pineapple juice or brown sugar to sweeten/thicken), the garlic/shallot/brandy (maybe some balsamic? could stand to be a touch more savory), and the coconut/rum/orange (which needed no corrections). a little salt/pepper to finish it off.[p]was a nice quick cook. we like to do scallops in the cast iron as an appetizer for groups, and so i had it in my mind to try these variations for just the wife and i. was a pound of sea scallops. i think for a dinner party it would be a great bit of bravura to torch off the flambe and bring it inside, sizzling like a banshee.[p]the 1/3 cup of alcohol mentioned above is what i WOULD do. i did too much tequila marinating the pineapple, because the alcohol that's soaked in doesn't burn off. and i did too much brandy on the garlicky stuff. i don't think they should be swimming in it as mine were (see the flambe' pic), but i had smoke in my eyes. next time i'll premeasure.[p][p]

Celtic Wolf,[p]I love ABT's but they're a little too hot for my daughters. I therefore experimented with Poblano ABT's - yummy. That's a fattie in the background.[p][p]Publix had T-Bones on sale for $6.99 a pound. I wasn't that excited until I went to my local store and found two 27 oz beauties. I don't ususally see them cut that thick.[p]

Celtic Wolf,[p]Okay, here is my first WOOSDAY and Image post. I hope it works. I cooked some stuffed chicken breasts the other night. I tenderized/flattened the chicken breasts and then stuffed with ham, spinach, and fontina cheese. I then rolled the breasts up and used toothpicks to hold them together. I then put some rub on the outside and threw them on the Egg over a drip pan.[p]I hope the images work.[p]

Bobbyb,[p]That turned out good, glad you could find the peppers. Let me guess, you didn't go with the "ooh-wee baby" level of serranos, or am I thinking of someone else?? Listen, I'm workin' on a plain green sauce (no meat) should have a sound recipe very soon. A picture is below in my Woosday post. [p]But hey...I thought the chili was the side dish? What happened to the main course? Did you make a mess of the masa? Hehee.[p]~thirdeye~

TUSK,
I actually did this a while back. It's basically QBabe's recipe. See below for how I did it, and read the attached thread from QBabe for some additional tips.[p]Mike [p]

TUSK,

Curly,[p] Pssst it's in the original post with the screwed up links...

Celtic Wolf,[p]I really don't have a recipe as I winged this meal on the fly. But I can walk you through what I did. I took two boneless chicken breasts covered with saran wrap and flattened them with the tenderizer. I made sure to get them a consistent thickness. (At this point I should have put some rub/seasoning on them but I didn't) I then took a couple of pieces of sliced deli ham and laid them on the breasts. Next I added chopped baby leaf spinach. On top of the spinach I added grated fontina cheese. I then rolled the chicken breasts, keeping the stuffing inside, and secured them with toothpicks. This is when I added the All Purpose Greek Seasoning to the exterior, but I should have done it earlier. You could use your favorite chicken rub or just salt and pepper.[p]I had the Egg stabilized at 350 degrees and had a drip pan for indirect cooking. I cooked until the breasts were 165 degrees internal temperature. The tricky part was the part of the chicken that made up the middle layer. It took longer to cook. I wasn't really paying attention to time, just temperature. However, I think it was around 30-40 minutes.[p]I have also done this recipe with thick cut pork chops and it is very good. Instead of flattening the pork chops I sliced them for the stuffing. Also, shaved ham may be better than sliced.[p]I hope this helps. I got the idea from a menu item at Dolce's Italian restaurant in Charlotte, NC.

Celtic Wolf,[p]Yes, if i hadn't screwed up the pics all would be good. Oh well I added another post with more information. Let me know if you have any questions.[p]Also, Celtic I am in NC too, Charlotte.

ncegger,[p] They used ham and not Prosciutto? Shame on them Thanks. [p]
