Jumbo Scallops and Bacon Cast Iron Sear
 

Cast Iron Seared Bacon Mushroom Jumbo Scallops.




http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1368973890.jpg





take one pound of Black Peppered bacon. trim fat, cut into 2-3" strips.


get 12" cast iron pan searing hot and cook bacon on side burner of well loved and used BBQ.


remove bacon at medium rare. Dice into smaller bits.

add mushrooms to bacon fat for 1 minute tossing gently

add ~2 pound of jumbo ~10-15 count scallops cut in half or 1/4'd......nibble bits same size as the bacon and mushrooms...........The Cook must drink beer or Gin and tonic while cooking on BBQ... burp.



toss and sear the "stuff" ~3-4 minutes MAX. DON'T over cook them or dry this dish out. Quick hot and sear is good.


I didn't do it this time, but a splash of White Wine wouldn't hurt at the middle-end of the sear.




yummmmmmmmmyyyyyyy

Speaking of Guinness...

Anybody watch the Guinness Mega Factory program?

Kind of funny that more than 200 years ago, Arthur signed a lease for 9,000 years for an abandoned brewery. Talk about believing in your product.

here are 6-8 count, mega jumbo prawns butterflied open wide. Finely Dice up some bacon, green onions, garlic and grated white cheese, add can of Dungeonous Crab Meat............Gently blend/fold into a paste.

Stuff the prawns overflowing full, add more cheese and green onion for color. Quick BBQ for smoke flavor and finish under an Oven Broiler element for slight crisp crunch...........


Worthy?

Cuban Picadillo. OK, not the most photogenic thing I've ever made, but it is certainly one of the tastiest. Has all the complexity you'd ever want. A dry Riesling is a surprisingly good pairing.

Drained mine and add a spoon of butter and pepper.

Perfect midnight snack when I'm out of Brothers Hot Pepperoni...

Haven't been cooking or eating much lately. When I do, there are a lot of salads

Our garden is producing plenty of lettuce.

And tonight a teriyaki salmon.

http://i800.photobucket.com/albums/y...ps6be9c21a.jpg

Teriyaki sauce is mirin, sake, soy sauce, and sometimes a little sugar or other stuff, boiled to thicken a little. Marinate the cut salmon in the sauce, heat a cast iron pan with plenty of oil, fry the pieces, skin-side down, for 2 minutes. Do that in batches. Meanwhile, boil the marinade to thicken it more. When all the pieces are cooked, place on a sheet tray, dust the top or flesh side with a little sugar, and put close up under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes. Or use a torch. Plate, sauce, eat quickly.

This Fluke hit the BBQ about two hours had been pulled out of Peconic Bay...

Glazed with a bit of Lime Guajillo sauce, and dressed with Cilantro oil....

With Papas Picosa and some slaw...

Picnic shoulders were $1.69/lb, my homage to truck food. have over 4 hours into it and every second counted.

Black beans, my own version of pulled pork that first spent 3 hours simmering away, tortilla, sc, salsa, avocado, lime. With 4lbs of pork left, it's going to be a good week for all kinds of stuff.

Excellent presentation, Shaun.

Love the avocado!

Bought some pork ribs today myself....yum!
