Picture Thread: What's For Dinner?

[vonsmog]

My wife is a great cook and just wings it almost every night, and its great! Tonight is one of my favorites, venison roast from the deer I got last week with the bow. She has a rub for the venison that is to die for! She won't share it as she is saving it for her cook book when she ever gets around to write it! The carrots and broccoli are fresh picked today from our garden, and have dill and other spices on them. Mashed potatoes and her gravy top off the meal with my favorite beer. The best part, is this is just a typical meal in our house, I get to eat like this every day!

Leftover BBQ chook = Chicken and Sweet Corn Soup

[Rusty Heap]

Pulled Pork, slow smoked:



Lard is Love.



smaller sized pork shoulder roast, maybe 4.5-5 pounds.


Injected with a marinade, some spice rub, fresh ground black/white/red peppercorns. Let rest for a couple hours.


It's the last BBQ on my grill that has tired parts so 6 new cast iron burners will last the next year or two. Couple big hunks of foil covered Pecan wood for the smoke.

I'd cooked up a pound of bacon a couple days before, and had saved the rendered bacon fat and lard.

Butt Roast in a small pan, 1/2 a beer in the bottom of tin for steam, 285 F temps for ~4 hours, pulled the meat right at 195 degrees using my Thermopen.

1/2 way through the smoke I started putting tablespoon lumps of bacon lard to baste the meat. Finger Licking Good.

Let all that render in the beer, basting the roast several times.


Foil wrapped it to rest for about 1/2 hour, pulled pork and chopped some into cubes too.

Poured remainder of beer/lard mix over chopped meat, chill 24 hours to let the meat re-absorb all the heavenly goodness moisture juices.

I like to make wraps using Flour Tortillas filled with chopped lettuce/tomatoes/cabbage, than a BBQ sauce burger bun.


turned out lovely moist full of flavor.
