contest Begin! Grillin' & Chillin' Independence Weekend

[J762]

also have lavender, chives and mint...all from the yard....OH YEA! and T-BONE!....all going into the dishes...



"Can you say "dutch oven"? I knew you could!"

Now I don't care what's in it, you're in the lead now. Dutch ovens can make a pile of Yeti dook taste amazing, so it should do a killer job with Bigfoot's penis. I too am breaking out the Dutch oven today, except mine will be for a spicy apple pie.

And Finally, The finished piece.

"Allies Forever"
Saltbush Seasoned Kangaroo with Spicy Mushroom, Onion and chili Gravy.

Ingredients:

Kangaroo Fillets
Onion
Portobello Mushroom
Saltbush Flakes
Birdseye Chili
Salt n Pepper
Milk
White Truffle Oil
Victoria Bitter Australian Lager
Lime
Lemon
Lime Cordial
Rascal Potatoes
Traditional Flavoured Gravox
Garlic

I would hope that Australia and America stay Allies Forever and it seems that this kangaroo thought so too

And the "Green and Gold Allie Lager"

Cooking Method:
Potatoes get wrapped in aluminium foil and tossed into the hot coals. while they are cooking away, a grill is placed on top of the coals and the kangaroo is cooked on it. potatoes are skinned and mashed. use a thin metal rod heated to be red hot to burn a flag of each country (Australia and America) into each fillet of kangaroo. serve on plate with special gravy.

Meaning: The two flags burnt into the fillets are there to represent our alliance and the potato is formed into a V for Victory

Just awesome. I vote for this lol. The fact you put the flags into the meat is amazing. And i honestly love the taste of kangaroo. One of the best steaks i've had.

Noice wheebz! Everythang was cool n' the gang until you made the girlyman drink!

 

[JayT]

that's good, but get rid of "well then here" and put a name on the top of it, like Wheebz' Fourth of July Feast for One, in bold. That way Dan can cut and past the post into the poll thread. Follow the rules!

I'd take one of those drinks! Then again I did have blueberries in mine.

 

[POTAWIE]

Here's what I started with(except the banana)

Double fresh ground pork and beef mixture
Hot pequin powder
seasoning salt
onion flakes(powdered)
nutmeg
allspice
Hot paprika
black pepper
Cure #1
bacon(not shown)
Mix ingredients well and stuff into a large casing

Stuffing the summer sausage

Smoking my salami with apple wood

 

[POTAWIE]

Potawie's celebratory hot summer sausage in a bacon sheath with purple tequila shooter

Now here's where it gets good. Sausage removed from casing and rolled into weaved bacon. I didn't have enough bacon to cover the whole thing so I went with the bacon condom look

And here's why I failed art class. Its supposed to be a Canada flag.
The drink is just a shot of tequils with black currant nectar and was supposed to have pop-rocks in it but the kids ate them on me

These were cut up and served as orderves with some mustards

 

[texas blues]

A bacon condom....that's crazy! Crazy AWESOME!!!

Pulled it off the grill when internal temp was 145F, covered it and let it rest while the rest of the stuff got grilled.

Snacks for the grilling time included, homemade black bean salsa (recipe here- http://www.thehotpepper.com/topic/16744-easy-black-bean-and-corn-salsa/ ), locally made garlic chevre cheese, chips and fresh cherries from the market, and a very patriotic Sam Adams Summer Ale-

The rest of the meal...on deck... ready to go-

The rest of the salad ingredients-
olive oil, dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, salt, pepper, fresh oregano, fresh basil leaves, gourmet olives, cherry tomatoes, capers, red onion, garlic, red pepper flakes, habanero powder.

Grilled Corn on the cob sauce- hoisin sauce, honey, soy sauce, lime juice, chipotle powder. Baste and grill until corn is done. Sprinkle cooked corn with sesame seeds, green onions and (fresh from the chile plants..woohoo!) mystery peppers.

Fresh Horseradish- ( http://www.thehotpepper.com/topic/16743-homemade-horseradish/ )

Au Jus- beef broth with the dripping in the dutch oven

Grilled sourdough braed with olive oil, fresh garlic and fatalii powder

Dinner is ready-

We had a most enjoyable dinner together and just sat and visited on the deck for an hour after we were done eating, it was such a lovely evening. The best compliment that could be said was that they were both commenting still this morning about how great that prime rib roast turned out on the grill.

Even the dog got in on the scraps action! Happy Dog!

Happy Independence Day Everyone!
