Thread: Tasty Recipes Anyone? Post them here!

Gazza's salmon crepes:-

Make some crepes, not pancakes. Thin ones. You can do this the night before.

Place on oven proof plate.

Brush lightly with single cream.

Layer with thin slices of smoked salmon.

Brush again lightly with cream.

Cover with grated gruyer cheese.

A little dust with paprika powder.

Grill until golden brown.

These aren't large but very rich and filling. Great anytime but better for a special breakfast. We always have them on Xmas morning.

This isn't exactly just a summer recipe... it's good anytime, especially if you like lots of spices and herbs... I got it off the net somewhere.

Sounds good. U.S. readers should note that "grilling" in most other countries refers to what we call "broiling" (cooking under a heat source). I assume this is what Gary is referring to.

You gentlemen have some good recipes!

Here's a quick one that my children love.

pizza burrito.

ingredients
flour tortilla shells
classic meatless jar spagetti sauce (or pizza sauce in a can if you prefer)
shredded or cubed mozzarella & cheddar cheeses
cubed ham
pepperoni slices.
(you can add most any pizza ingredient you like, mushrooms, peppers, etc.)

cooking instructions
1) preheat oven to 425 deg f. (aprox 218 c)
2) steam tortilla shell lightly to prevent cracking
3) sauce center of tortilla,
4) lightly layer on cheeses and meats in center.
5) fold bottom up then sides over on tortilla. fold both bottom and top if you want a closed burrito
6) cook on baking pan or breadstone for aprox 10 minutes.

Serve with freshly squeezed lemonade

My kids would love that. Thanks

I am a single malt scotch guy myself...however I spent last night drinking a bottle of Johnny Walker Blue Label, and that was pretty damn good...I want to try the Macallan 25 year whiskey next, if I can find it.

My favorite summer recipe:

24 oz bone in ribeye steak seasoned with salt pepper and garlic to taste on a REAL charcol grill with woodchips...NO PROPANE!!! Grill that puppy up just until it stops mooing so its still cold and red in the middle. Pour a glas of whiskey and then enjoy. I like to grill veggies tossed in sesame seeds and olive oil with it. I generaly grill carrats, onions, asparagus, and peppers they take about 45 mins on an old fashioned grill.

here's another unhealthy but tasty one. and rather simple

bbq'd mushrooms.

Take raw mushrooms of your choice (portabella's work great), slice and put in foil pie tin or homemade pan made from foil, prepare grill as usual. For charcoal or propane, use soaked wood chips accordingly for heavy smoking. put either butter, bacon fat or a combo in the pan. smoke for about 10 to 15 minutes. Very tasty.

Man can you tell I'm jonesing on this diet? Food food food is all I think about .

Here's another tasty treat.

as always make the pan from disoposable foil and as always it will be smoked on a grill.

BBQ'd Piggy Shrimp

Ingredients

thin to medium bacon strips
medium to large shrimp deveined, tails on
1 to 5 eggs (depending on how much shrimp you're using)
1 pint beer (optional)
Either cajun spices from the store or dry rubmade from salt, garlic powder, onion powder, powdered cayenne/red pepper.
toothpicks

Instructions

1) Cut the bacon strips in lengths to cover the shrimp
2) Crack an egg into a bowl, whip with fork or whisk briskly, If you use the beer add a few spoonfuls at this point. stir gently. You'll keep adding egg and beer as you run out.
3) dip each shrimp into the egg mix then immediately roll in the dry rub and then wrap in bacon strip, pinning with toothpick.
4) After they're all prepped place in pan, single layer and put pan on bbq grill
5) smoke until done (wood chips for charcoal or gas grill ),

usually takes 7 to 15 minutes depending on grill temperature.
The pint of beer is because most cooks will drink what they don't use. Otherwise if you buy from the store they have those little mini beers you can use just for cooking but homemade german keg beer tastes the best, both on the shrimp and off. I wouldn't use any of this American pee water they call beer .

I'll pile on the grill bandwagon here with an Indian-inspired side dish.

Grilled Corn on the Cob from India

Pull the husks of several ears of corn down to the nub, but do not remove them. Pull off the strings and detach them, then smooth the outer husks back up over the corn cobs. Soak the cobs in cold water for at least 20 minutes--the sink will do fine.

Get your grill going. You want a fairly high flame if you're doing this with a gas grill; I regret that I haven't had the opportunity to try a charcoal grill.

Place the soaked cobs directly on the grill, so their husks are touching the grill. Close 'er up and cook. Check them every few minutes, and rotate them when the outer husks get nicely blackened on the bottom. You're aiming for black all around the cob.

Once they're done, pull off the husks and put the cobs on a platter. Sometimes it's easiest just to hack off the nubs with a meat cleaver--that way the husks slip off very easily.

Brush them with a mixture of lime juice, sea salt, cracked black pepper, and a little hot sauce. Delicious and far easier than I've made it sound.
