Title: Cast iron on the 26
Post by: Bbqmiller on March 23, 2014, 03:50:34 PM
Felt good to fire up the 26. Roasted some potatoes and made some jalapeƱo cornbread.

Also steamed some asparagus and grilled some salmon (sorry no pics).

This has to be one of the best batches  cornbread I have done. Nothing like cornbread in a CI skillet over a live fire.

Great cook!  That cornbread is making me hungry.  Hot peppers in bread is a favorite.

Pretty basic recipe. Followed this with just a few changes. Used four eggs instead of two (my eggs were on the small side). Used fine ground corn meal. Substituted olive oil for butter. Added about 3/4 cup diced jalapeƱos and added some honey (~ 1 table spoon).  Be sure to preheat skillet on the grill at 400 before adding batter - that is key to getting the nice crust.

There is one sliced onion dispersed between the potato slices. Also cut up a few cloves of garlic too. Salt, pepper, and rosemary. Added some butter on top of potatoes that melts and simmers in the skillet. I did hit the tops of the potatoes with a little OO spray during the cook once. They are roasted indirect the whole cook. These are really good - just had leftovers for dinner.

That's my go-to potato method now. My whole family raves over this. The last few times I've mixed in sweet potatoes. I peel them because the skins get a little leathery with this method but they are amazing.

Will have to try sweet potatoes next time. I like that idea .

Thanks - they are good. This is my version of hasselback potatoes. I could never cut them without cutting all the way through.  Roasting them in a CI skillet over a live fire really does something. When this is simmering, you can smell the aroma of rosemary. They are always a hit with the family.
Indirect cooking using CI on a 26 is a match made in heaven.
