LAMB SHANKS ALA TROUTMAN
I followed Troutman 's recipe. https://pitmaster.amazingribs.com/fo...ed-lamb-shanks
8 big lamb shanks from Marx Foods. Dry brined 48 hours, then 90 minutes on KBQ with cherry, around 250. Due to cancelling a couple of family meals because of grandkids back-to-school illnesses (colds, Norovirus, all Covid neg, and three of the five vaxed this week) these had to go back in the freezer after completion. Sample tasted very fine!

[Dr. Pepper]

Troutman Well, you've only got yourself to blame for this!
BTW, you may notice the muscles separating a little; I trimmed the fascia (silver skin) off the muscular part of each shank, so that the salt and smoke could make good meat contact. This comes at the cost of the shanks starting to deconstruct after the braise, but I don't mind. You can see the areas I cleaned off in the photos of the raw shanks, and the lack of restraining fascia in the final images.
Thanks for recipe!

[Ernest]

Dr. Pepper time to change your name!!!

[Old Glory]

I think you cooked the whole flock!

Inspired by Richard Chrz and Ernest lately, I did a burger tonight. Not quite as photogenic but it was just what the doctor ordered.

[Michael_in_TX]

Classic!

[Richard Chrz]

This mornings bake.

[WI Bubba]

Wake and bake takes on a whole new meaning when you're involved.

[Richard Chrz]

WI Bubba not.a new meaning, rather a dual meaning ✌️

[Mr. Bones]

I baked differently. c. 0630

[Ernest]

My kids have a dog now. That's means I have one more dish to cook.

[tbob4]

As Dessie (grandma Ridgeback) was in her last year she wasn't eating much. My wife tried making her boiled chicken and beef - nope. Smoked tri-tip and chicken - it's all she would eat. A bit spoiled she became but when she went, I didn't regret cooking for her one bit.

[Mr. Bones]

[Michael Brinton]

Thanks! The oven is nice and clean because I dropped last weeks pizza in there and ran a fresh cleaning cycle.

[tbob4]

That is delicious

[fzxdoc]

That's one pretty pizza. No burned bits, which I find off-putting. Nice job!

I managed to freeze a pound of the point from the prime brisket I smoked recently. So I did a "backwards" chili cook today. (For you Texans, just say that this is a brisket and bean soup.) I soaked a half pound of Rancho Gordo pinquitos overnight and cooked them up. But their "broth" started with 3 Guajillo chiles, one Ancho and one Mulatto bloomed in the pan and then microwaved a few minutes in beef broth before going into the blender. While the peppers hydrated I fried 5 slices of bacon short of crispy and then cooked an onion in the drippings. The chile puree and a large can of fire roasted tomatoes went in and then I added the beans. Remarkably, the beans only needed two hours simmering in that goodness to cook after a 5 minute boil. At that point, I chopped up the brisket and 6 of the Lemitar chiles I roasted and froze last month. This all worked together really well.





Best of all, there's enough for tomorrow, too, so I don't have to disrupt football with cooking.

[ofelles]

That sounds really good. I will try some chiles in my bean broth!

[Mr. Bones]

Mention either Beans, or Chili, an ya jus gotta know I'll Pop Up, huh?

Looks Mighty Tasty, from where I'm settin!

[barelfly]

Bolognese tonight, at the request of the kiddos (my daughter is home for the first time since August). Just wish I would have had some time to make the pasta rather than using boxed.

[Dr. Pepper]

Looks so good! Nothing wrong with a dried penne rigate!

[fzxdoc]

It's all about the sauce. A great bolognese works well on both fresh and dried pasta in our house. You're a good dad.

Kathryn

[Mr. Bones]

NOM!

[Caffeine88]

Flank steak on a screaming hot cast iron and Rancho Gordo black beans. Not bad.

[Elton's BBQ]

Looks perfect!

[holehogg]

SheilaAnn agree it is a tad sad.

[BradNorthGA]

I am also really impressed by the slicing

[CobbBBQ]

Saturday morning and the pork butt is smoking

[Dr. Pepper]

I love your stone alcove. Looks like a place to drag the carcass after the kill. Where are you located? With the sweetgum (?) and rhododendron it could be the PNW.

[CobbBBQ]

Nine hours later dinner is ready 😊

[Mr. Bones]

Great pics, all around...th alcove is great, gotta be keerful alla them leaves, this time of year: they can flash off...

Poke Butt lookin Jus right, like I likedta do mine, but...

Mac an Cheese Pic done stoled th show!!!

[Eric2662]

Mini pumpkin pies with smoked whipped cream in a "custom" Weber Jumbo Joe. Its custom because I painted it with high heat orange paint to make it look like a Jack-o'-lantern- I was bored .

[tbob4]

That is funny

[Panhead John]

I hope you cook better than your taping skills. 😂

[Eric2662]

Panhead John Not that it would have made any difference in my poor artistic ability, but I used generic scotch tape. hahah 😂

[STEbbq]

I present Merlot steak from Porter Road served with Troutman ‘s mushroom sauce. Sous vide at 129 for 75 minutes and seasoned with hickory or coffee smoked salt and CharCrust. "Lightly" seared. Absolutely delicious. My wife said it was better than ribeye. We both agreed that we must have more mushroom sauce in the future and went back for seconds.

[Caffeine88]

Looking good on the steak color and the shrooms! I need work a few fungi in somewhere.

[STEbbq]

We had totally forgotten about mushrooms and steak until Troutman reminded me. Usually we are steak and potatoes and it’s been that way for years. But it was amazing, smelled great, and just tasted wonderful. We had beautiful Bella mushrooms and they were like velvet.

[Troutman]

Nice work Zero !! Keep the ‘rooms rollin’ !!
