[edit] Preparation
Step 1 |
Directions: |
Step 2 |
Clean the asparagus and give it a little spray of olive oil. I also sprinkled a little steak seasoning on them. You want to put these on first because they will take the longest to cook. |
Step 3 |
I let them go about 10 minutes on low heat, turning every 5 minutes. Then, I added the green onions doing the same for another 10 minutes. I pulled the asparagus and covered it to keep it warm and put the frozen fried potatoes in the oven and meat on the grill. |
Step 4 |
Directions: Patti’s Champagne Cheese Sauce |
Step 5 |
In a saucepan, melt cheese with the half and half. Open wine to check for freshness, taste to verify. Stir sauce until blended. Sample wine for bubble content, if it’s ok, add 1 cup to sauce. Add seasonings to sauce. Stir to blend, sample wine and continue to stir until you and the sauce are smooth and bubbly… |
Step 6 |
|
Step 7 |
Preheat your grill to medium low heat (300). Add your wet hickory chips to the fire and oil the grill. A cooking spray is easiest for this. |
Step 8 |
Note: you can add your hickory directly to the grill or you can use foil smoke packets. |
Step 9 |
Two handfuls wet chips and one dry, fold foil into a packet, poke holes in it with a fork and you’re good to go.) |
[edit] About Hickory Smoked Mexican Pork Chops, Grilled Asparagus, Green Onions
This week I was thinking south of the border, not that that is anything new. I went down to the Mexican market to look around and see what they had good on sale. If you have never been to a Mexican market it is an experience. Everything is a bit different; first there is the way to loud Fiesta music, just makes your feet want to do their own thing. I’ll tell ya, a few times I have let them go to…Patti just gets back and watches. Most of the markets around here have a deli set up with a place to sit and eat when you come in the door. There is a lot of good stuff at good prices… we go sometimes just for lunch.
I really enjoy the way they marinate the meats and chicken, with either a dry or wet marinade, both are good. They cut the meat different, too. You never find a 2 inch steak of any kind. They cut everything thin, 1/4 – 3/8 of an inch. This also makes for a short cooking time. The regular prices are always good but unbelievable on sale. The pork chops I found for tonight were only six dollars and change. I don’t remember how many pounds, but it was a grill load. And it’s very good eating, when “Crash Test Dummies “come over they always load up.
Remember that a recipe is simply an outline; it is not written in stone. Don’t be afraid to make changes to your taste.
Take it and run with it….
Enjoy,
Ken & Patti
