Grilled Leek And Sweet Pepper

Wednesday
Dec 17,2008


2 medium leeks, green tops trimmed, split up to the root ends, cleaned

1 Tablespoon olive oil

1 large red bell pepper

1 large yellow bell pepper

4 Tablespoon unsalted butter

1 large clove, garlic, minced fine

1/3 cup dry vermouth

salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

12 oz. fresh fettuccine

1 Tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

1 cup Apple Wood chips

 

Prepare a medium-hot fire in the grill. Coat the leeks with olive oil.

 

When the coals are covered in gray ash add the presoaked chips to the fire.

When the chips start to smoke place the leeks and peppers on the cooking

grid directly over the fire.

 

Grill, turning as needed, until leeks are tender and golden brown, about

10-12 minutes, and skin of peppers is charred, about 15 minutes. Remove the

leeks from grill and let cool. Remove the peppers from the grill and place

in a paper or plastic bag and seal; set aside and allow to steam.

 

When cool, trim root ends from leeks, then cut into thin strips. Peel and

seed bell peppers and cut into thin strips.

 

Meanwhile, heat a large pot of water to boiling.

 

Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook,

stirring frequently, until pale golden. Add vermouth, and reduce to syrupy

consistency. Stir in leeks and peppers and season with salt and pepper.

 

Salt boiling water, add pasta, and cook until tender but still firm to the

bite. Drain thoroughly, add to skillet and toss well. Sprinkle with thyme

and serve hot.

    Wednesday
    Dec 17,2008


    3 Pound Racks baby back ribs

    2 Teaspoon Salt

    2 Teaspoon Coarse ground black pepper

    Apple Juice for Basting

    1 Cup Red wine vinegar

    2 Cup Onion, chopped

    2 Garlic, cloves, minced

    1/4 Cup Mustard, yellow prepared

    1/2 Cup Brown sugar, packed

    2 Cup Ketchup

    2 Lemons, thinly sliced

    1 Teaspoon Louisiana hot sauce

     

    Trim as much fat as possible from ribs. On bone side, work knife tip beneath

    membrane that covers bone until finger tips can be worked beneath rack

    membrane, loosening enough to get firm grip. Then peel membrane off rack.

    With paring knife, scrape any fat away from bone.

     

    Sprinkle ribs on both sides with even, light coating of salt and pepper.

    Place ribs, bone-side-down on grill. Grill over low fire 1 1/2 hours, turning

    every 15 to 20 minutes, replenishing fire as necessary. Baste with apple

    juice at every turn during first half of cooking period either by brushing

    on, or simply spraying apple juice from spray bottle. If smoking with

    indirect heat, turn at 1 hour intervals, cooking 4 to 6 hours.

     

    Combine vinegar, onion, garlic, mustard, sugar and hot sauce in blender.

    Blend until smooth. Place in saucepan and add ketchup. Simmer 20 minutes.

    Add lemon slices. Stir occasionally to keep from sticking. Use sauce as

    frequent baste for last half of cooking period, whether grilling or smoking,

    being careful not to burn ribs. Serve remaining sauce on side.
