Chef Tom cooks up a lasagna from scratch starting with homemade noodles, meat sauce, and a béchamel before layering it all together and baking it with a blend of two cheeses.
This is a solid potato side dish for a Tex-Mex or Latin inspired meal. It features longaniza, a sausage similar to chorizo. I know at our house, and here in the All Things Barbecue teaching kitchen, we’re often cooking Latin inspired foods, so who wouldn’t like another fantastic potato side dish to fit!
Chef Tom cooks up not one but three pizzas on the Uuni 3 Portable Wood Fired Oven. We like to think there’s a little something in here for everyone, so enjoy and let us know what you’d like to see us cook next.
The beer can burger is back! This time the monster half pound beef burger is sharing the stage with chorizo. Stuffed full of beer braised onions and peppers, topped with manchego cheese and sitting atop fresh made guacamole, there’s no room for disappointment!
Crostini are a great way to pack a lot of flavor into just a few bites, which makes them the perfect appetizer or party food! It’s a really simple concept – grilled bread with toppings. That leaves all kinds of opportunity for experimentation. There aren’t many rules, but the thing I like to keep in mind is balance. Balance in texture, flavor, even temperature and color.
Chef Tom grabs a small brisket flat from the grocery store and cooks up some pulled brisket sandwiches with pickled red onions and a scratch made aioli. All on our Kamado Joe Classic II Ceramic Grill.
Chef Tom shows you how to quickly, and easily, pickle red onions. These are perfect for topping sandwiches and are a great jumping off point for getting into pickling different foods.
You know what we love about stuffed pork loin? The possibilities are endless! Now, while this particular stuffed loin may seem best suited for cooler weather, I promise no one will be disappointed to eat an apple and sausage stuffed pork loin anytime of the year!
Chef Tom shows you how to make chicken stock with a twist, he grills the chicken breastbone beforehand to add another depth of flavor to the finished stock.
Ratatouille, the classic French dish of stewed vegetables is elevated here by first grilling the vegetables before combining them with canned San Marzano tomatoes in a cast iron dutch oven for a creamy finish.
Posole (or Pozole) is a traditional Mexican soup that can feature pork or chicken, and prepared with a green or red salsa. We can't get enough of salsa verde around here, and what better compliment to salsa verde than smoked chicken?!
We're taking components and techniques from a couple of recipes you may have come across here on The Sauce to make a wonderful grilled flatbread. The dough is the same dough we use in our pizzas, and the spatchcock chicken is a technique often utilized in our kitchen. Combine those things with a delicious cream cheese spread, caramelized onions, some greens, and a sweet and tangy apple balsamic reduction and you have a winning main dish or appetizer!
