Cast Iron Seared Bacon Mushroom Jumbo Scallops.


http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploads22/DSCN0842+1+13689738...





take one pound of Black Peppered bacon. trim fat, cut into 2-3" strips.


get 12" cast iron pan searing hot and cook bacon on side burner of well loved and used BBQ.


remove bacon at medium rare. Dice into smaller bits.

add mushrooms to bacon fat for 1 minute tossing gently

add ~2 pound of jumbo ~10-15 count scallops cut in half or 1/4'd......nibble bits same size as the bacon and mushrooms...........The Cook must drink beer or Gin and tonic while cooking on BBQ... burp.



toss and sear the "stuff" ~3-4 minutes MAX. DON'T over cook them or dry this dish out. Quick hot and sear is good.


I didn't do it this time, but a splash of White Wine wouldn't hurt at the middle-end of the sear.




yummmmmmmmmyyyyyyy

Man, there is some good looking food there ! :D (And I'm a veggie !)

I like to cook. Particularly fancy desert etc.
I'm most well known to my family and friends for my home-made chocolates, that I do 3-4 times a year, and always come out for Christmas presents.

Not the best pic, some flavours are hidden..


Flavours in this bunch include: Plain, Rosemary, Star Anise, Passionfruit, Chilli, Christmas pudding, Boozy Christmas pudding, And Lemon Vodka and Pink pepper.

(Star Anise was actually my least favourite out of this lot!) Well, I do still have a Tupperware box full in the freezer.. Unfortunately they need to stay refrigerated, preferably frozen, so not sure they would last the journey!

Even putting a "hosted elsewhere" jpg image between [img]www.blahblahblah.comm[/img] it's not showing up visible?

changing my text to make it [url.]blahblah[./url] it's at least clickable.

shouldn't my '[img)......(/img]' work?



shouldn't be specific to Photobucket as the host, I've got pictures all over the web..........

here's the problem, here is a photo, I posted to PKF, and embedded it in another post right it to PKF, but it's not working,

oh well, no more bbq for you all till I get it figured out, mods can you help?

I am a steak and potato guy, but have to admit the "taste of the area" on the Tour has opened a few doors that are cool to my grandsons. Grandma, my wife, sent a few pictures to the grandkids, a few of them included frog legs, crawfish, and alligator. She said she liked the alligator the best with crawfish second. (we have a restaurant here in Seattle that will cover the table with butcher paper and dump a huge pot of Alaska crablegs of all types, potatos, corn, sausage, clams and muscles, and you get a towel, hammer, and a skinny 2 prong fork to eat with.)
At Crawfish Town USA, the 4lb crawfish order was delivered on 24" bowl with a bucket for the uneatables, thanks kitemaker Susan for the wonderful restaurant and good time.
Now the Texas BBQ is a different world altogether.:thumbup: Still picken meat out of my teeth and trying to get the sauce off my mustache :cool: Think I am hungry again......
