Smoked Picahna (aka Coulotte Roast)
METHOD
- Season liberally with Salt and 18 mesh black pepper.
- Smoke at 250F until internal temperature of 125F. Hot hold in Alto Shaam at 140F until ready to serve.
Creamy Pinto Beans
METHOD
- Bring 1Q beans to a simmer in 4Q water with 1/2 medium white onion.
- Simmer until tender.
- Add salt and black pepper to taste
Saffron Beef Tallow Rice
METHOD
- Fry 1Q jasmine rice in oil in size appropriate pot. Fry until rice resembles pearly white bones. Stir frequently to avoid scorching rice. Stir carefully to avoid breaking rice.
- Add 1.75Q liquid.
- For this recipe I use smoked chicken jus, heirloom tomatoes, onion, garlic, fresh oregano, saffron and hatch powder.
- Once rice is fried properly, add liquid, stirring as needed to avoid scorching. Once rice and liquid thicken to the point where your spoon feels major resistance when stirring, add a lid to pot, bring heat to a low simmer and set a timer for 10 minutes. Once timer goes off, remove rice pot from heat source and allow to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes. Fluff and serve.
Slaw
METHOD
- Shave cabbage.
- Add pickled cucumbers, pickled onions, chopped cilantro and dressing of your choice. We like a mayo based with a bright fruity vinegar added and coriander seed.
- Toss contents of slaw and add salt to taste.
