Yule Log

Redheart · 12-25-2009, 05:44 PM

Well here is my adaptation of the traditional Yule log. Of course mine is edible and goes faster than a Yule log burns.

I started out with 2.5 lbs of hot Italian sausage, 1.5 lbs of deli pastrami, 1.5 of provolone cheese, some freshly chopped and toasted pecans, some minced garlic and onion.

I rolled the pastrami around strips of the provolone making concentric rings, each one slightly larger than the other.

I then rolled that in the sausage. I blended the pecans, the garlic and the onion and rolled the log in the mixture.

I added a few cut off branches, dusted the surface with some rub Landarc sent me during the last trade exchange. Thanks again bud!

I dropped her on the WSM for about 2.5 hours, along with some yellow and purple potatoes. I glazed her after she hit 145* with some of the left over maple-butter orange glaze I had left over from doing the $231 bird.

Here she is on the carving plate.

No those aren't chestnuts those are the purple potatoes.

Here is a plated picture.

It was so darn good I cut off and ate the other heal.

See I told ya they were purple potatoes.

I think for a first attempt it turned out really well. I think I am gonna add a little panko bread crumbs to the 'bark' mixture next time around. Also I think a little crushed rosemary, fennel seed and oregano to the 'bark' will make her sing. Maybe a little shredded Romano in with the provolone will give the summer rings a little more definition. If I had it to all over again .... I would!

Thanks for having a look, I hope you enjoyed it!

I am impressed, a yule log made from meat, foolishly we have always made it from cake.

Kevin · 12-25-2009, 05:59 PM

That sure looks better than the yule log that has been on our television all day.

deguerre · 12-25-2009, 06:01 PM

Dayum! We be busy today Marc! Looks scrumptious!

BBQ Grail · 12-25-2009, 06:13 PM

Most impressive interpretation!

And I love purple potatoes.

I thought the meat media better suited the occasion. It's Atkin's approved!
Kevin
How long did you watch it before you realized it was the TV and not the fire place?
deguerre
Busy hands don't lad to idle minds. Beside you were pretty active yesterday with your cook too!

Feel free to embellish, modify or adapt it for your own interprettation. The purple buds were good, but the lil yellow ones tasted like butter. Man were they good!

I was thinking of something along those lines but completely different ingredients. What you did there is absolutely beautiful!

Greendriver · 12-26-2009, 10:41 AM

absolutely over the top bro!!!

I went through about 6 different ingredient changes in my head. Course it all changed when I was in the grocery store. Pastrami wasn't even on my list. Just went with what I could afford.

If necessity is the mother of invention than the checque book is its grandmother!

Greendriver
This really would have gone over the top with a PK. It is next on my affordable cooker purchase list, now that I will have 3 bullets at this time next week.

.

we had melon wrapped in prosccuito on the menu yesterday and hadn't made the drive to the other side of town for the Prosccuito yet and found this pack of "ready to eat deli meat" in the Walmark and one of the 3 meats looked just like prosccuito but with a different name. long story short eveybody flipped out over not just the ones with that meat but even the other two that kinda looked like salami. you will never regret owning a PK, they are the most underated grills in America.

Phubar · 12-27-2009, 10:29 AM

Really love the roll on the inside of the log!

Good looking yule log. I have never seen purple potatoes they look interesting.

Redheart · 12-27-2009, 12:53 PM

Greendriver
Melon and prosciutto! Love that combination.

If you remember the name of the ham you used let me know, Wally World is right down the street. I would like to give it a try.

Thank you kind sir! But if I remember right you had some of mom's kraut. That is from the looks of it ... MOST IMPRESSIVE!

1_T_Scot
Thank you for the compliment. I had never seen them before either so I had to give them a try. I don't think I will smoke them again. They tasted great but the smoke made them look like chestnuts

and not potatoes.
