Blackened tilapia, taters, ad cornbread

[Bbqmiller]

Nice day to fire up the 26 for some grub. Taters and cornbread in the plans.
26 in kettle firing up

Grilling buddy - Kally is the sweetest dog I have ever had - 8 years old and got her when she was one from a rescue

Cornbread and taters in CI skillets
Fired up the side burner on the genesis for the blackened tilapia

I love the side burner - you can really crank it up.

Taters were good-salt, pepper, onion , garlic, and rosemary.

Cornbread - I have cooked cornbread many times but I think I nailed it on this pan


Fun cook, and used both kettle and Gasser. Also used three CI Skillets - two 12 in and one 10 in.

That all looks great! It pays to have an extensive CI collection.

Did you need to rotate the cornbread and spuds to get them to cook evenly?

Yes - I did rotate them a couple of times.
The trick to getting a good crust on the cornbread is to preheat the skillet before adding the batter. The kettle was running around 400 C - just check with a toothpick in the center to make sure it is done.
I have 3 12 in skillets due to a mishap in ordering one a few years ago. Got the package and it was one package of three. Online retailer didn't want to pay to ship back - they are heavy. I also have a 15 skillet as well. Will do a cook with that one soon.

Here is the recipe I followed. For the 12 in skillet I doubled the ingredients. I like to use sour cream - gives the bread a nice flavor and keeps it moist.
