What's For Dinner?

Tonight was the third night of Hanukkah. Had some Morroccan beef short ribs done in the crock pot and a warm green been and beet with pistachio "salad". It paired nicely with a Kosher Chilean cab sav ( Don Alfonso ), we tried for the first time. I'll pick up some more of those next time I'm down south.

Christmas eve - Relatively simple. Kept it light, more snack-like.

 

We smoked a 5 lb whole Duck to 149f, BBQ rubbed, Deviled eggs, Cold Broccoli carrots Cauliflower/ Ranch, Homemade Pimento cheese dip, good crackers, and some hot Bread Rolls.

 

Pecan pie (but w Walnuts) and Sweet Potato pie.

 

Christmas Day - Finished the awesome leftovers.

 

Hope all have a Great Holiday Season celebrating their Faith.     Marc

For me and the kiddos the 'eve' mid afternoon lunch was pork chops as the main.

Salt and peppercorn brine soaked for 6 hours, dry and left in fridge over night

Salt and pepper only seasoning

Honey, dijohn, soy, garlic, ginger pepper glazed

Grilled on the 22" Weber over apple / slow burn Kingsford to an internal temp of 146* then rest for 10 minutes.

USNRet - If you like the Teriyaki idea, get a marinating/ finishing sauce called Soy Vey.

 

VERY flavorful, not too salty, more flavor.

 

Top notch, reasonably priced.

 

Asian food section at Walmart, possibly HEB.

 

I buy good pork chops, baggie individually w the Soy Vey, and freeze till I want to grill.

That smoked duck sounds amazing. Never had it but I am duck fan in general.

 

YK - It's soo easy.

 

We just treat it as an indirect BBQ whole chicken.

 

None of that labor intensive scalding, skin scoring/ pricking etc.

 

Heavy Old Bay and a low salt paprika/ garlic based rub overnight, and indirect bbq and/ or smoke.

 

Was fantastic. Marc
