Paella

Mom and Dad were in town so. . . Paella! Used paella rice I got Jungle Jim's in Cincinnati. Started with a onion, garlic, celery soffrito. Added rice. Then chicken stock and saffron. Right at the end added shrimp, mussels, scallops and grouper.



Side of asparagus and bell pepper:



The cocktail was a strawberry dacquiri: 10 Cane rum, lemoncello, strawberry syrup, lime juice with a blackberry garnish

Prime Rib. Mmmmm. . .

Oh this came out great. Salt and peppered the rib and slow smoked for 2+ hours in the Egg. *Tip* take off at 125 degrees and let rest for 15 min. or so. Sides of Mexicali corn (corn, mayo, standard BBQ rub) and potatoes with sour cream. Baked both the corn and the potatoes in the Egg. Eggsellent

Easter Dinner

Used the green egg to glaze a ham. You've seen these hams in the grocery--they're pre-cooked. They need to be reheated and then have the glaze applied. The egg works great because you can really give it that a smoky flavor. Came out well but not as tasty as a beef tenderloin. Used gunshot powder for the rub and served with a chimichurri sauce. Sides of bleu cheese Cole slaw and sour cream dill potato salad. Thanks, Michal, for a tremendous carrot cake.
