Man I appreciate the recipe. I modified it some to our tastes, but we're still eating off of it. The Misses Candy flat out loves it. Much appreciated. You're 1 for 1 so far.. :cool:

I meant to add to the recipe (but you already did it) instead of using the green onions on top, I did the same and mixed them into the mixture.

There's many possibilities with this recipe. But standing alone it's damn good even.

All that cheese would make me constipated.
But then there's all the beans...

I'm almost afraid to find out which component wins in the battle of the bowels.

I think beans are undefeated all time aren't they?

OK - So I'm working up a couple recipes for our Oinko de Mayo celebration here at the restaurant. I'll post some of them.

I can't really post any of my sauce recipes seeing as how they are secrets and we sell them. And sauces make up a big part of many of my recipes. But I can throw out a few.

Here's a pretty simple one:

Take fresh basil sprigs (about 4 oz) and strip the leaves. In a pot, put about a cup of Grand Marnier and a cup of Orange extract. Add 2 cups of water, a cup of sugar, 1 tsp Cayenne pepper, and a couple tsp salt. Bring that mixture to a low boil to drive off the alcohol. Shut it off and add the basil. Let this cool. It will become your marinade.

Once cool, take enough marinade to soak some chicken thighs in and ziplock or vacuum seal bag with some thighs. If ziplock, squeeze the air out of the bag and seal. Let sit in the refer for 24 hours.

Place thighs on shallow baking pan and bake at 350 for 45 minutes. Then turn oven up to 450 - 500 degrees and bake for 10 - 15 minutes to crisp the skin. Note - when you take the thighs out of the marinade, try to leave some basil leaves on the skin of the thighs.

Once cooked, place the thighs on a plate and drizzle a little honey on the skin followed by a very light sprinkling of salt. Torch the honey so that it crisps up with the skin. If you don't have a torch, just set the oven to broil and return the thighs to the oven after adding the honey.

There you go. Honey glazed, orange-basil infused chicken thighs. Very yummy.

trying this one today... bird has been soaking in da juice all night

tried the orange infused chicken today and it was great. Although I did a whole spatch-cocked chicken low and slow on the grill, and then as @RamFan503 suggested, drizzled the honey on and stuck it under the broiler for a few minutes after grilling.

Modified the recipe a tad bit, and brined it in fresh squeezed OJ along with the Gran Marnier. Before putting it on the grill I sprinkled some orange zest on it and injected the marinade into the meat. Served it up with some roasted potatoes and grilled broccoli with EVOO and sea salt


wifey loved it and as we all know, happy wife, happy life

Glad to hear you liked it. And taking an idea and making it different and my own is something I have made my living off of. I can't say that everything I offer is an original thought but I always put my own twist on it. Spice of life y'know? It would be like me trying to claim fruit in a sauce or beer is my invention. Rather it's what you do with a concept that makes it special.

agreed...when I first started with the meat smoker, I was going off recipes I found online. Now it is to the point where I just start throwing shit in a bowl, and tasting it as I go and figuring what flavor concept I want to go with. Wifey and I both like the sweet/spicy combo rubs so use those alot. Going to try doing some smoked cheeses this weekend. Smoked Gouda is the shit in a nice salad !

SALVADOR DALI’S COOKBOOK IS EVERY BIT AS INSANE AS YOU WOULD EXPECT IT TO BE


DaliCover_banner23282342.jpg

Front view and back view


In 1973, French publisher Felicie put out a remarkable “cookbook” (quotation marks are important here) by the great Surrealist master Salvador Dalí. It delivers everything you would expect from such a volume: visual flair, a winking sense of humor, a disregard for accepted norms, and a heightened feeling for the absurd. The book was called Les Diners de Gala—I think the idea here is a conflation of a “gala dinner” and his wife, whose name, of course, was Gala.

According to one source, only 400 copies of the cookbook were ever printed, although it’s difficult to say whether that was actually the case or not—a copy is always on eBay—it’s possible that Dalí was merely trying to foster an air of mysterious exclusivity. The hefty volume has become quite the collector’s item; prices on Amazon range from $300 to $490. Let’s take a look at the table of contents, which I’ll leave untranslated:

1. Les caprices pincés princiers (Exotic Dishes)
2. Les cannibalismes de l’automne (Eggs - Seafood)
3. Les suprêmes de malaises lilliputiens (Entrées)
4. Les entre-plats sodomisés (Meats)
5. Les spoutniks astiqués d’asticots statistiques (Snails - Frogs)
6. Les panaches panachés (Fish - Shellfish)
7. Les chairs monarchiques (Game - Poultry)
8. Les montres molles 1/2 sommeil (Pork)
9. L’atavisme désoxyribonucléique (Vegetables)
10. Les “je mange GALA” (Aphrodisiacs)
11. Les pios nonoches (Sweets - Desserts)
12. Les délices petits martyrs (Hors-d’oeuvres)

I don’t know what most of that means, but I do know that the title of chapter 10, dedicated to “Aphrodisiacs,” translates to “I eat GALA,” so right there in the table of contents you already have a bald reference to oral sex. Well done!

In the book Dalí discusses his loathing for a certain leafy green vegetable: “I only like to eat what has a clear intelligible form. If I hate that detestable degrading vegetable called spinach, it is because it is shapeless, like Liberty.”

In 2011, two noted Minnesota dance troupes, Ballet of the Dolls and Zorongo Flamenco,put on a staged piece in Minneapolis called “Dali’s Cookbook: A Gastronomical Inquisition” that was inspired by the cookbook.

Here’s a cocktail recipe from the book, one of the (very) few that it’s possible to make unless you have the same connections as the head chef at a five star restaurant. Quail’s eggs are one of the easier ingredients to secure. Where do you buy frog legs?

Casanova Cocktail

“This is quite appropriate when circumstances such as exhaustion, overwork or simply excess of sobriety are calling for a pick-me-up. Here is a well-tested recipe to fit the bill. Let us stress another advantage of this particular pep-up concoction is that one doesn’t have to make the sour face that usually accompanies the absorption of a remedy.” —Salvador Dali

The juice of 1 orange
1 tablespoon of bitters (Campari)
1 teaspoon of ginger
[presumably powdered ginger]
4 tablespoons of brandy
2 tablespoons old brandy (Vieille Cure)
1 pinch of Cayenne pepper


At the bottom of a glass, combine pepper and ginger. Pour the bitters on top, then brandy and “Vieille Cure.” Refrigerate or even put in the freezer.

Thirty minutes later, remove from the freezer and stir the juice of the orange into the glass. Drink … and wait for the effect. It is rather speedy.

A lesser-known follow-up to Les Diners de Gala, titled The Wines of Gala, was published by Abrams in the US in 1977, but contained no recipes for surrealist inspired vino.
