I cooked some'en:Mango Snapper and grilled onion

JLOCKHART29

Thanks to Stike and Beli I did some Mango red snapper, grilled onions and corn on cob. Got the corn going 1st. Simple removed silk, drizzled with EVOO and shaked with Tony's seasoning. Tyed husk back around corn and cooked at 325 for about an hr. indirect.


Next time for the onions. Made a glaze of 2 tps peprika, 1 tsp chili powder, 2 tsp ground cumin, 2 tsp coriander, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp black pepper, 1/2 tsp cayenne, 1 tsp dry mustard, 1 tsp oregano and EVOO to make a sause. Slice onion thin and coat. I halfed the recipe as wife can not eat spice and just me eating it. Not real great reheated.






Next up the fish per recipe except added 1 oz orange curacao. Ingredients6 tablespoons olive oil
5 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 1/2 teaspoons grated lime peel
4 5- to 6-ounce red snapper fillets
1 large mango, peeled, cut into thick wedges
3/4 teaspoon cumin seeds
8 large red-leaf lettuce leaves

Preparation: Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Whisk oil, 4 tablespoons cilantro, lime juice, and lime peel in small bowl. Season vinaigrette with salt and pepper. Brush all sides of fish and mango with some of vinaigrette. Reserve remaining vinaigrette. Sprinkle fish and mango with salt, pepper, and cumin seeds. Grill fish without turning until fish is just opaque in center and mango is soft and beginning to brown, about 6 minutes.
Overlap 2 lettuce leaves on each of 4 plates. Top with fish and mango. Drizzle with remaining vinaigrette. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro.







I did mine as listed and was great. Wife's I just go alittle liquid out of vinigerette and drizzled over hers along with the mango. Cooked indirect at 300 for about 30 min in the Le Creuset as it takes a bit for it to heat up. Complete meal took a lot of time an work with only a medium Egg but quite tastie. (Got to get that small off Bean's porch soon) :laugh:

Looks great JL. Have 5 Mango's on the tree now (wife started from seed about 5-6 years ago and this is the first fruit) Thanks for the post as I was looking for ideas for them. Weird part is she is allergic to them. She can eat them but not touch them. I have to slice them for her and cut into bite size pieces. Guess she has me well trained.

Yea, the storm missed us but really need it. Unless we get a storm this time of year we don't get rain. My cow pastures are dry all ready and this is the still the rainy season. Wife is getting back to normal but still a little nausas but doing better. The cook was good but not real filling for a bunch of mouths with legs. Would cost a mint to fill that crew up with snapper! :laugh: Check out my reply to Beli's cook. Should ellisit a response from you!

YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMIIIIIIIIIIIII.....wish I could have been there for a taste. As usual great photos, great cook & that super nice china which reminds me of my parents´ All the best!!!!

Woo hoo--man, that is one excellent-looking meal. The onion circles really stand out. I forgot about those Le Creuset things you bought until I saw the pics.

You're gonna really have to grab the small off my deck to help out with some of the cooks you've got going on! How long did you cook the corn like that? There's been an a lot of corn in the husk at the grocery store the past few weeks, and I think I want to try some like you've done.

Nice looking cook there guy. I wish I could eat fish or sea food. Have not had any since 1992. But I can eat the corn,mango and the onion. I say thats good eats buddy.

Proving once again you're way more than "just a Caveman!" Nice cook and thanks for posting.

I like the blue willow china also. Thing about it is it was CHEAP! The local grocery store (Brookshires) was almost giving it away about 10 years ago when you traded stamps in for it that you go when you bought groceries there. :laugh:

Mike the corn is simple and good. Just pull the shuck back and remove the silk on the corn. Don't pull shuck all the way off. Rub with corn karnels with butter or EVOO and add salt or favorite seasoning to taste then fold husk back over corn and tye with a piece of hush. I stlit on leight ways and tye it togeather to make a longer one. Can cook it direct or indirect at 300-325. Trick direct is to keep turning it and not let it burn. Indirect is easer but takes longer. Timing is something I haven't figured out yet. Seem corn cooks at differant rates and indirect takes longer than direct, if you soak corn first it takes longer, ect. One to two hrs seems the norm. I just look after about an hr at the kernal. When it starts to get a slight wrinkle look I pull it.If it starts to get to wrinkled it will be dryed out. I guess in thery if you can pull it just before it starts to wrinkle its perfict but haven't mastered that yet! :laugh:

Thanks Mike. Whats wrong? Got a alergy to seafood? Man thats tough. Wife can't eat a lot of spice or strong flavors. I thank I would just start drinking Ensure and give up food if I had to give up spice! :laugh: Makes it hard to cook sometimes. Like on this cook I did her a snapper at the same time in a foil pan that I had to start after mine as Le Creuset has to heat up first. Her's just had mangos and a little juice from mine. Was very bland looking so didn't make the photo spread!!

Even non spelling Southern cavemen can have a little culture!
