Title: middle east meets west
Post by: Winz on December 28, 2014, 05:50:24 PM
I receive the cookbook "Jerusalem" for Christmas.  It really is a great cookbook filled with some new approaches to food.  The first thing I made was hummus from scratch and it came out great.  I was anxious to try a "fusion" cook to combine some flavors:
From the west, we have marinated boneless ribeye.  The marinate is soy sauce, worcestershire, lemon, basil, garlic, white pepper, parsley, salt and olive oil:

Put the steak into a ziplock with the marinate and left it in the fridge for 6 hours.


Bisbee gets the call for this cook:

Bisbee was sporting Mahogany tonight thanks to @MacEggs :

I mixed the hummus with some hatch green chilie to form a bed for the steak:

Roasting some pine nuts and baking a sweet potato.  Bisbee's solid copper top is starting to get some pantina:

Time to fire the Ribeye.  Went direct over Royal Oak lump and finished indirect.  That metal thing with the curly cue on the end is a steak flipper that my blacksmith buddy made for me:

The payoff.  Steak on green chile hummus with toasted pine nuts and drizzle of olive oil, cucumber salad with yogurt/sour cream/sumac dressing, grill roasted sweet potato, caesar salad, and Napa cabernet:

looks good, gave me an idea now, about taking off a cast iron grate from my gasser and use it on the kettle.

Fantastic looking meal. Hummus made from scratch is much better tasting.
