Smokin’ Lunch
September 13, 2009
J. is still playing around with his new smoker, and since we’re planning on using it to make the brisket for Rosh Hashanah next Saturday night, we decided to do some experimenting today. He also made a couple of chickens, one perched on a beer can with a spicy rub, and the other done with a lemon & pepper rub (with a lemon stuffed in the cavity while it smoked). And a small minute steak. Oh, it’s all so delicious! This was his first time trying to smoke chicken, and the turned out wonderfully — juicy, flavorful, not overly smokey.
My dear friend Sus of Susanna’s Sangria fame demanded asked nicely if she could come up and try some of J.’s cooking, and within a day we had a small bunch of friends ready to come and eat with us. Great company, great food, great weather after several days of rain. It was a perfect afternoon.
On the plate: tomatoes and basil with balsamic vinegar, smoked chicken, minute steak, brisket, Fig and Carrot Salad (thanks, Sus), and Mustard Vinaigrette Potato Salad. And plenty of leftovers for Monday night, too.
