I like liver. As kids my mom made it all the time. She tricked me and said it was "tender steak."
I don't know that I'd want my hand to be forced in this particular challenge..... but try cooking up some bacon till it's nice and crispy. Now take some of that bacon grease and fry up some sliced onion until soft and slightly caramelized. Set the onion aside. Now take some calfs liver... salt and pepper it and dredge in some flour. Fry it in that pan until it's golden brown, turn it over brown that side. Now serve it with with the onions and crispy crumbled bacon. That's some pretty good eating right there.
Where are we on this?
Let's make the list so we can get the ingredients we need and think about what to do with them ahead of the cookout.
If I'm not too late...I suggest:
Salt
Pepper
Garlic powder
Meat
Fire
I agree. I think we have enough ingredients to do a random pick. Next step is to compile and post the complete list of ingredients.
We'll let Jim @langod do it. OH JIM where art thou?
Sorry -- been on vacation for a week. Was nice -- went to VA, MD and Long Island to see friends and relatives. Lot of driving though.
I'll be making a post in the pepper heads thread soon too... (found a great hot sauce emporium.)
Do you want me to come up with the list of ingredients based on people's input? I can probably find a way to randomize the list.
Here's the list so far in alphabetical order with duplicates removed.
Apple
avocado
Bacon
Basil
beer
Brown, green or French lentils, not red/orange
Brussel Sprouts
Calf's Liver
Carrots
Cheese
Chicken
chili pepper
Chocolate
Corn
Cornmeal
cranberries
Cream
Fire (I take this to mean a grill, smoker, campfire, torch, or similar use of an actual flame must be involved. Your normal gas stove/cooktop doesn't count.)
Fish
Garlic powder
Greek Yogurt
Ham
Jalapenos
Meat
Peanuts
pork fat
Prosciutto
Pumpkin
Shrimp
Squash
Tofu
I left out Mike's "Salt and Pepper" suggestion because I would hope that those are both being used no matter what....
Since Aaron "put me in charge", I'm making some rulz just for fun and to make sure we get the final list in a timely manner before the cookout.
- If anyone wants to add additional ingredients, go for it -- but they must be submitted in 5 ingredient groups.
- There was mention of chicken livers, but it was never submitted as part of a list. If you want it, make a list.
- Please submit any further ingredient lists before 12:00am eastern daylight time, Tuesday, October 4 (that would be midnight tonight, folks.)
- I will take the list, randomize it and post the five winning ingredients no later than Tuesday Noon (eastern).
Without further ado, here's The List.
I took the ingredients and put them into Microsoft Excel. Then I had Excel assign a random number to each one and sorted them smallest to largest by the random number. I alternated taking the largest, smallest, 2nd largest, 2nd smallest and 3rd largest.
And the winners are:
Pumpkin
Garlic Powder
Basil
Prosciutto
Apple
I believe we said that you can make as many dishes as you want but at least one dish must contain no less than THREE of the ingredients and another dish should contain at least the two remaining ones.
HAPPY COOKING!
