Cheese Biscuits

This is our knock off recipe of the Jim and Nicks cheese biscuits. These biscuits are very good, but also very rich and heavy.  Plan on 1 per person, 2 and you are full.

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
3/4 cup milk
1 egg, beaten
4 tbsp butter, softened
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp vanilla

Mix ingredients together, pour into greased muffin pan and cook at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes or until done.

 

 

Puerco Adobo

Ingredients:
2 pounds pork tenderloin
1 12 ounce jar of jalapeño peppers, undrained
4 tablespoons oregano
4 cloves garlic, chopped
2 teaspoons ground cumin
4 teaspoons cider or red wine vinegar
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt

Combine all the ingredients, except the pork, in the blender or food processor.

Place the pork tenderloins in a large plastic food storage bag, or glass dish and immerse in the

marinade from the blender.

Cover and marinate in refrigerator 4-24 hours.

Let the tenderloins sit out when you start your BGE, to get to room temperature.

Fire up the BGE, and bring it up to 300°-325°. A light wood, like apple or cherry would be

appropriate to the delicate nature of the pork, or no wood at all. Up to you.

Stabilize temperature, and place pork on, direct.

Turn after ten minutes, and spoon on some of the reserved marinade.  Repeat after ten minutes on

other side.

Pull your tenderloin off when internal temp hits 145°-150°, lower if you like a little more pink in the

middle.

 

Rev'd Up Black Beans

A tasey twist on standard black beans.  This is not our favorite bean recipe, but not bad for something different..

Ingredients:
1 can (15 oz) black beans
1/2 cup onion -- chopped
1/2 cup bell pepper (red) -- (chopped)
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced
4 cloves garlic - diced
1/4 cup celery -- chopped
1/4 cup carrot -- chopped
1/2 cup cilantro -- chopped fine
1 lime (juiced), plus the zest
1 -2 dash Hot Pepper Sauce (to taste)

Prepare all ingredients as described.

Put all ingredients into a small cast iron Dutch oven to be used on a BGE or other grill, or can be cooked on a kitchen stove.

Cook over medium heat until almost boiling.

Reduce heat, or move to cooler grill location, and continue simmering for approximately 30 minutes. Can be cooked longer for more flavor blending.
