This thread needs a resurrection.
Saw a pork belly on sale. $5 for a 2 pounder.
Smoked/roasted to internal 202F, under the broiler for a few minutes, chopped, and turned into "street tacos" with Asian slaw and Sriracha mayo.

Did a rib eye roast to get some killer prime rib.....slow smoked on my new smoker, charcoal and oak.
Yes, it was as tender and juicy as it looks and man o man it was good!!

Right!! I do an all-steak chili done the same way as above, cook in the ingredients, cool down, fridge and start slow cooking it over again. I just use chuck but it is soooo tender by the time it's ready to eat.Set up:

Felt like some heavy soup today. Panera's broccoli cheddar was inspiration.

I made a variation with field peas, smoked sausage, rotel, and I cooked the rice in the liquid so it was almost like a jambalaya texture. No pics here either. It tends not to be the prettiest food, but that and cornbread make great football food. -
Okay, this may not look appealing to some of you, but if you like Indian cuisine, this is what I made tonight. Chickpea and broccoli curry with some masala seasoned chicken added at the end, skillet fried in ghee separately.
Doc tells me I need to get rid of the pasta, rice, carbs. I'm trying...
BTW, this is a shallow bowl. I had two+ bowls.

How do you prepare a Rotel for cooking, I would thing a food processor would have a hard time with capacitors and circuit boards. Power supplies are a whole other issue. Do you boil them first like potatoes?skipshot12 wrote: »Made the southern dish Hoppin' John for New Year's Day to usher in some good luck for 2026.

Believe it or not, I just cooked the tastiest, most moist, tender and juicy pork butt I have ever done in my life.....get this.
In the oven!!!
I have a BGE, charcoal grill, pressure cooker, rotisserie and slow cooker. Tried all of them. Well, tonight, I was pressed for time and had to cook the PB before the storm arrived and power went out. (we obviously still have power)
I didn't have time to look up a recipe, as I was cooking other items as well, and I didn't have time to go to the store to get anything. So, I made up a recipe in my head and went for it.
Well, I'll be damned if it wasn't the best tasting PB I have ever cooked. I know what I did and it is (or should be) repeatable, but damn. The flavor was OFF THE HOOK good and the tenderness was on the same plane. Who knew you could do something so profound in a daggum oven?
