Topper's Grilling Advice!

Re: Topper's Grilling Advice!
I know I've said pork is appropriate for Mother's Day, but I switched things up this year.
Made fettuccine with lemon zest and thyme in the dough, marinated spot prawns in orange zest, tarragon and evo, used the orange juice and a more tarragon for a base for a butter sauce. Sauteed the prawns and combined it all with wilted greens, radicchio and tomato.
Watermelon and mint granita for desert.

Re: Topper's Grilling Advice!
Had some friends over for dinner last night and decided to make some pizzas...
Prosciutto with mozzarella, topped with fresh arugula and a drizzle of olive oil and reduced balsamic once it came out of the oven.
Italian sausage, mushrooms (crimini, shiitake, enoki), roasted garlic, with buffalo mozzarella and fresh basil.
Cubed watermelon salad with mint, cucumber, feta, and more of that reduced balsamic.
Cranked the oven upto 500C and baked them on a pizza stone, but I bet they would be great on the grill as well. Seeing as it was mid-week and I didn't have much time I cheated and bought fresh dough from Whole Foods. They make it in store and is the same dough they use for their pizzas. It was actually pretty decent, just take it out of the fridge for an hour or so to let it come to room temp before you roll it out.

Topper, it's zarr (wife and I, not you and I) anniversary this weekend. We're going to bbq lobster tails. Lay it out for me buds. Looking for a "not too elaborate" (as we'll be hitting the sauce) way to season and bbq lobster tails to perfection.
BTW, NOT A FLAME ... JUST AN OBSERVATION ...

Good stuff, my wife makes one just like that with olives.. great for this kind of weather.KeyserSoze wrote:Cubed watermelon salad with mint, cucumber, feta, and more of that reduced balsamic.
I was downtown the other day and walked some food cart outside the art gallery that had a watermelon/mint/lychee salad on special, sounded promising but I didn't have time to stop.

I did a Papa Murphys take and bake on my Kamodo last weekend and I was shocked at how good it was.KeyserSoze wrote:

Although everything I cook on that think seemed to taste way better so I guess it shouldn't be much of a surprise.
I will never buy another gas grill.
Re: Topper's Grilling Advice!
Keep it simple. Split the tails in half by placing flat on a board and cutting lengthwise down them, salt, pepper, butter. On a very hot grill, flesh side first, flip to shell side, DO NOT OVER COOK.ODB wrote:Topper, it's zarr (wife and I, not you and I) anniversary this weekend. We're going to bbq lobster tails.

Fresh tarragon might be nice.
Personally, I'd rather have dungeness crab than lobster.

Here's another question... IYO is there a big difference between two tails for 80.00 bucks at the fish store and the two tails you can get at Costco for 25.00?
ETA: I would think, living in Saskamammyrammer, they've both been frozen at some point???

Re: Topper's Grilling Advice!
No idea. I do know I am impressed with the quality of beef I have bought at Costco, can't say that carries over to their seafood.ODB wrote:See, the wife loves crab but I friggen hate it.

AAA bone-in Rib steaks for 16 ish a Kilo.... Costco is just fantastic for meat, unless you are just one of those people who insists on playing triple for organic....

I made some awesome pulled pork on the weekend...it's very easy and only requires a few steps as long as you have the time to roast it.
Create a rub (I used a Memphis Blues recipe that I found online) and rub it generously all over a piece of pork shoulder covering the entire surface. In a roasting pan I cooked it uncovered with the fat cap up in a 300F oven for 2.5 hours, and then covered it with foil and put it back in for an additional 2 hours. Once it's done I poured most of the drippings into a container and then shredded the meat (right in the roasting pan) with 2 forks, pouring a bit of the drippings back on as I saw fit.
Served it on brioche buns with a green apple slaw and a drizzle of BBQ sauce.
A watermelon salad is a perfect side dish for this.
