Seasoned with ”The Classic” all purpose and “Windy City” BBQ rubs. Grilled over direct heat turning every couple of minutes. Once the legs had color and char, moved indirect and kept cooking until reaching 165°F internal temp. Basted with bbq sauce a couple of times and kept cooking until reaching 175°/180°F and the sauce was set. DELICIOUS!
That bàhn mí was so good I wanted another, but I am now all out of pork belly. So, at the risk of committing a crime against humanity, I give you the bàhn mí....hot dog!
This mostly worked. The mayo+hot dog thing was a little weird, but wasn't terrible. The pickled carrots went really well with it and the Maggie Seasoning blended right in. The fresh jalapeños weren't out of place.....the cucumber....perhaps a bit.
Why....why....are yall pointing at my cilantro obsession? It could be worse! I could be into kale or something.

Tomatillo salsa, pinto beans are fire ( soaked over night and cooked with aromatics, enter shallots, green onion whites, and uncured bacon, hit with a little chicken stock and buzz it up with a stick blender), cotija cheese and Vital farms eggs. And of course ribeye and corn tortillas.
Not shown avocado and green onion greens because I forgot them and didn’t want to get up so my girlfriend got it but I already took the pics.

Grilled cheese goodness right off the Pit Boss flattop.
Wanted to make it a complete meal, so I added some protein and veggies. Pepperoni and hot peppers. 😃
I ain’t never done did no real TexMex cooks to speak of, with the exception of tacos I guess. Anyway, I ran across a good lookin’ recipe on YouTube for Carne Guisada I thought I’d try. Glad I did, it was pretty dang good! Cooking for one, I wasn’t about to do everything homemade, so I found some Mexican rice in a bag and some canned refried beans from La Preferida……which was pretty damn tasty! They got some great online reviews, for canned refried beans. The Knorr Mexican rice was alright, it just didn’t taste like Mexican rice to me. That’s ok though, the HEB buttery flour tortillas made up for it!
I watch Jacques Pepin videos all the time and he uses pre-made store bought products all the time. No shame there. Goya sells a boxed Mex rice that is much better than the Knorr, by the way.
hoovarmin Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll try Goya next time for sure. This Knorr rice came out kinda wet. The directions surprised me, said cook for only 7 minutes!….Rice? The rice was tender enough but not very flavorful. Another mistake I made was using stew meat instead of cubed chuck roast, thought I’d save some time. It was good,I liked it for sure! But next time I’ll use chuck roast and cut it myself….like most of the recipes I saw called for.

CSA put forth more fava beans….. Coppa Steaks with Fava Bean Risotto
I seasoned the coppa (from WF) with Tzardust from Penzey’s. Risotto was made with guanciale and finished with authentic parm. not a good picture, but a tasty meal.
Spectacular. I'm really jonesing for some fava beans. No crop this year because the soil isn't fit for vegetables because of the fire. Hopefully next year. Will have to live vicariously from your posts.
Great. Just show me this being cooked in a wok. Just what I need. Already leaning towards buying the Cusinart wok setup Uncle Bob posted.
BTW. They look great.
