Unique Cook Ideas?

Cdm624 · June 2017

Looking to cook something today other than the typical brisket, ribs, butt, etc. and I need some ideas.

I've made chicken thighs, 2 versions of pig shots and beef ribs so far. Got 2 racks of baby backs going on the egg tomorrow along with some sausage stuffed and bacon wrapped chicken thighs (i drive a truck for a living so i spend a lot of nights dreaming up food ideas).

Went out looking for a tri tip this morning (saw them at Tom Thumb last weekend but no such luck today). Might go try Costco here in a minute unless one of ya'll comes up with something better.

Trying to hold off on any super high heat stuff until i get the first 3-4 cooks in, so i'm trying to avoid steaks, scallops, etc.

green lightning shrimp ( high temp, but not for long), wings, chili, salmon smoked or grilled, paella.

was thinking wings but i've been wanting to try drying them overnight in the fridge so i waited to late for that. got stuck at work until 5:30 this morning so after a 5 hour nap i'm not working with a whole lot of time

Can't eat anything bread related, due to low carb high protein diet restrictions. because a burger sounds really good right now but a burger without a bun doesn't do much for me.

oh well...i'm down 91 lbs. since March 15 of this year so i cant complain too much

I'm not one of the experts on this forum, but a few things I've cooked and really liked that were a bit outside of the norm:

Korean chicken skewers, "Dakkochi," were one of the best things I've ever cooked.
Sambal chicken skewers, not quite as amazing as the ones above, but really delicious and simpler.
"Gulf Coast Shrimp" is the best shrimp I've ever cooked on the Egg, and pretty different.
Grilled Lamb Burgers with Moroccan Aioli was simple, like making regular burgers, but VERY different flavor profile with the Moroccan spices, the arugula and feta. Really good.
Bulgogi (Part 1 and Part 2) are really fun, simple as marinated flank steak, but especially if you eat them Korean-style, as lettuce wraps with a little ssamjang, kimchi, maybe other stuff, makes them fun and really different than American-style flank steak.
"Lucky Peach Lamb Burgers" I cooked indoors, but you certainly could cook them on a griddle in the Egg. They were unusual and delicious. (no peaches -- "Lucky Peach" is a magazine the recipe came from.)
Eastern European Grilled Meats are a whole WORLD of different grilled meats! I've only had and made a few of them, but really liked them. I recently saw several kinds of Bulgarian sausages on Triple-D that made my mouth water, but I couldn't find recipes.

Anyway, those are a few ideas that are sort of unusual.

Settled on a bacon wrapped meatloaf like concoction...

Mixed sausage, ground beef, onions, garlic, chopped bacon and a can of manwich sauce i found in the cabinet. Oh yea and a block of cheddar cheese cubes too.

It should be interesting

Smoked hard boiled eggs are something we didn't think we would love as much as we do. Eat them just as eggs, deviled or as egg salad. They are a staple for us now. Throw them on for 20 minutes when you are doing anything low and slow.

There's good and better, but I would never let not having wings drying overnight stop me from doing a batch of wings on the BGE. They are still plenty good right out of the package.

The meatloaf looks better than anyone i have done on the egg. Great Choice!

Here's another forum favorite for you.

Theophan · July 2017

Whoa, that looks WAY cool!!! Great job!

Sphincter stew.
Anus stir fry.
Stuffed rectum.
Scrotum pie or scrotum spaghetti.
The above is about as "unique" as it gets.

Note: The stuffed rectum is a real crowd pleaser.

Forgot to mention earlier, but that is one fantastic looking meatloaf. Really great.

Meatloaf looks incredible.

I haven't been egging that long, but have tried to do some out of the ordinary things, at least from my perspective. Mostly inspried/adapted from recipes on this very forum.

Vietnamese roast duck and pineapple

Ancho chili and hoisin chicken

Peruvian marinated pork

and agree with @Biggreenpharmacist the meatloaf looks great.

Those all looked great!!! Did you post them here, too? If not, I hope you'll consider doing so in the future -- those really looked great!

One thing I've started doing is stuffed pork tenderloin. You butterfly the tenderloin, put stuff in it and roll it up and tie it. I would cook it at 350 until it's done, flipping a couple of times. Here's a link to get you started. I like feta, sundried tomatos, olives, and some Greek seasoning.

@Theophan thanks, yes I did, I post all my cooks and other BGE stuff as well. You can find the threads in here with search, or check out my profile.

Many thanks! I now realize I've seen some of your posts and enjoyed them, just don't always remember who wrote what. Thanks!

Wrapping bacon around it before you tie it up really helps mine. Or substitute pounded thin chicken with bacon as well.
