Curry

Fry some onions, roasted red pepper and the spicy sausage of your choosing.


Add some basmati rice and water. 2 cup water to 1 cup rice


Add jar of curry paste and chopped Kale. Kale is high in beta carotene, vitamin K, vitamin C, lutein, zeaxanthin, calcium and contains sulforaphane. Kale is kinda like a super food.
it has 17 times more Vitamin C than carrots and four times more than spinach!
Wow!

Kale wilts down nicely but is also able to stand up to prolonged cooking.


Simmer til rice is ready... It ain't pretty but it sure is tasty!

Beer Soaked Brats

Grilled is better.

Corn, with a pat of butter, squeeze of lime juice, and pepper. It'll get wrapped up and thrown on the grill with everything else.

The best performing "smoker" we've used.

The Kingsford's got Grill Envy.

We smoked the brats for about 40 minutes or so...

Then they went into a butter/beer bath to cook through. About a half an hour more.

Matt...

The full grill.

Towards the end we threw the brats back over the coals to crisp up the skin.
They'll crack when you bite them. :)

Beer Simmered Sausage and Onions

In a cast iron skillet over medium high heat with a little oil, fry Onions and Sausage seasoned with a little salt and pepper until onions are carmelized.

Add a light lager beer (dark beers do not reduce well) and butter, simmer until Sausage is cooked thru. Remove onions and reduced beer sauce. Fry Sausage again to recrisp...


Serve with Beer Grilled Onions and Salsa Mashed Potatoes.

This can easily be modified for the barbque or grill... Just grill or smoke sausage and onions toss in a foil tub with beer and butter, recrisp sausage on grill. super easy...

Grilled Sausage with Grilled Onions, Peppers and Sauerkraut

Grill up a nice Sausage and top with grilled Onions and Peppers (3 different colors preferably) and a whole crapload of Sauerkraut. Serve with your favorite Doppelbock and enjoy

Aebleskivers!

A while back I heard a tall tale about a group of famished war weary Viking invaders retiring from battle and replenishing there strength by eating pancakes. The shields that had once been flat and smooth and provided double duty as a camp griddle now were completely covered in dents and dings. Not to be discouraged the proud Viking invaders made their beloved pancakes in the dents and a new tradition was born spherical pancakes filled with apple. Or so they say. At least some of them...

I found a recipe online called "Great-Grandma Hansen's Aebleskiver Recipe." and thought, "Hey I'll use that." but then I found this one...

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp Baking powder

1 tsp Baking soda

1 tbsp ground Cardamom

1/2 tsp salt

2/3 cup sugar

3 large eggs

1 tsp madagasgar bourbon vanilla

2 cups buttermilk

I also figured I might make a variety of fillings. you know, Savory Sausage and Havarti, Huckleberry, Blueberry, Chocolate you know, that kind of thing. so everyone should run out and buy a monk pan and start making these tasty little bites. I mean we are Danish afterall. Think tasty little donut pancakes...
