Fantastic shot.

Hell, Im still cooking. I dont know whether to be discouraged or inspired. :lol:
 
crown roast of pork

ok kids... here's what i got for brethren throw-down pork! :biggrin:

i called the fancy grocery at 0930 this morning and said "i need a crown roast for the throw-down!". they said, "today?" i say "YES TODAY!"
i said, "i'll pick it up at 1!" they said, "ok, sir!"

so i went to the bakery counter before the meat counter and i got a loaf of rustic country bread. i toasted a few slices and added melted butter and roasted garlic and threw on a few fingerling potatoes.

but on to the pork! this here is a crown roast cut and tied by the butcher. i rubbed it with dizzy pig jamaican firewalk and smoked it with cherry and apple chips for about 2:30 and then added a mixture of breakfast sausage, onion, mushrooms, and apples in the crown and then another 30-45 minutes in the egg.

holy carp! this was good! the original recipe is from YB on the big green egg forum and in the 2006 eggtoberfest cookbook...

i made a glaze of captain rodney's mango pepper jelly, apple juice, brown sugar, allspice, cinnamon, and honey... boiled and reduced to a thick sauce

River City Smokehouse... one of the nicest pulled pork sandwich photos I've seen. Good work!
 
Howdy yall. My humble offering this week is Pork Loin Roulade. The stuffing is composed of caramelized Vidalia onions ,Granny Smith apples, dried and reconstituted apricots and cherries. Rolled and tied , covered in a thin paste of EVOO , fresh garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper , and a light dusting of one of my home made spice mixes.

When it was done I glazed it with a mixture of pomegranate , honey and whole grain mustard. Here it is resting as I work…

Ok, here's mine... and I have a witness... Pat from Patrick's Barbecue was here for dinner!...

Stuffed tenderloin with roasted cauliflower puree. I stuffed with sauteed mushrooms and caramelized onions, along with rosemary, thyme and sage from my garden.

The puree was cauliflower roasted with garlic and olive oil on the big green egg at 500 degrees for 20 minutes, then pureed with a wand blender with salt and pepper added.

The outside was seasoned with grey salt, fresh ground black pepper and ancho pepper for a sweet touch of heat. Cooked to 145 or so, rested and served on the puree.

I also had the same bread that Rick did, from the same fancy market. :) But that was just for the appetizer of smoked caprese salad.

Aside from having some really great cooks, The Brethren has some outstanding photographers on board. I feel for whoever has to make a final decision on this ThrowDown because it will be a tough one.
 
You guys are pullin' out all the stops this week...I need to figure out what prize to award that will top "Mother Nature's Scrub Brushes"...:twisted::twisted::twisted:
