It is getting that time again where people start grilling and the good smells invade our homes. 

 

I figured it would be a good time to post of some of the recipes we all use. 

 

Easy Pork Green Chili:

cook time: 4-8 hours

Servings: 8ish

 

Ingredients:

- 2 or 3 thick Pork chops

- 1 Onion Large White well chopped

- 1 TBS cumin

- 1 TBS chili Powder

- Salt/Pepper to taste

- large container chicken broth

- 1 large clove garlic chopped

- 1 medium can chopped tomatoes

- Little bit of flour as needed to thicken

- 1 Quart Freezer  bag of fresh Green Chilis 12/14 approx cut and seeded( leave seeds for more heat)

- 1 Lime

- 2 TBS sugar

- 1 can corn if wanted

 

To Start,

 

1. Get a large crock pot and pour the Chicken Broth, tomatoes, corn, and Green Chilis into it with the pork chops and allow to cook as you prep.

2. in large case iron pan heat some Olive oil and add Cummin, brown for a few minutes then add chopped onions, and Garlic and Chili Powder. Simmer until onions and garlic are browned / caramelized.

3. Once the onion/garlic mix is browned add to crockpot and let cook for at least 4 hours, stir once in awhile.

4.  Once pork chops are cooked fully remove from Crock Pot and dice/pull the meat.  once cut up add to crock pot again and use an electric mixer to pull/mix everything in the crock pot ( this will give it a great texture)

5. next add flour 1TSP at a time to thicken up the chili until it is somewhat still a soup, but holds together.

6. add sugar and mix

7. Salt and pepper to taste

8. Cut up lime and serve with lime.

There is a time of year when you stop grilling or cooking good food?

There is a time of year when you stop grilling or cooking good food?

I was thinking the same thing, my grill goes year round unless its too windy when its @ zero or below then I can't build enough heat in the weber to cook things past luke warm.

KFC seasonings...

 

A little something I found on the internet and I've modified my version a bit from this design.

• 2 tablespoons paprika
• 1 tablespoon onion salt
• 1 teaspoon celery salt
• 1 teaspoon rubbed sage
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon ground allspice
• 1 teaspoon ground oregano
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon basil leaves, crushed
• 1 teaspoon marjoram leaves, crushed finely

Directions

Combine all ingredients as listed in a small jar with a tight fitting lid (baby food jars work good). Shake mixture to combine. Stores for months. Keep out of direct sunlight, heat and humidity.

 

I personally season my chicken directly with this mixture. Taste really good!

I'll try to get some recipes posted this weekend.

Anyone else into sourdough? I seem to recall some starter discussion on here before.

Did a search and the only thing I can find is a simple post back in 2010. Long time ago.

My wife doesn't do recipes other than for inspiration... Everything is "as required."  Fortunately we have very similar tastes.

I agree completely. Recipes are starting point, and the good ones require modification.

MoparMom is the same way. Cooking her way. I'm the nut that comes along with a different blend of spices and such to modify the cooking a bit more.

[Wild and Free]

I learned to cook from my mother, pretty much the same way read a recipe for inspirational ideas and then modify to fit my individual style.

[Me78569]

I very rarely use recipes, but I like to use them as a starting point.

Mike,

 

I use it on all meat........................... wild game, chicken, beef etc.

 

I've not used it for fish though...................................although I think it would be great.

 

Doesn't matter whether it's on the grill or stove top either............................it's a great blend.
