gourmet spice online shopping today: When I think Memphis I think Memphis style ribs. And when I think ribs I think of dry ribs and wet ribs. Dry ribs are just that; dry rub and oil on the rib and the flavor and tenderness cooked into the meat. The wet rib is doused in sauce before, during, and after the cooking process. Sauces, from what I have seen, are driven by flavor of molasses and tomato paste being reduced (with other ingredients) giving a rich dark texture. This mayonnaise based white BBQ sauce is all about tangy and rich flavor. This white sauce was made for grilled and smoked chicken by Robert Gibson from Big Bob Gibson’s Bar-B-Q. Not only is it great on chicken it’s a great dipping sauce for grilled chicken wings or even for French fries. Find more info on balsamic vinegars Guntersville, Alabama.
Cinnamon, cloves, and ginger might seem more like pumpkin pie ingredients, but we’re wild about the layers of flavor they add to this sweet BBQ rub recipe that’s balanced with savory elements such as cumin, coriander, thyme, and bay leaf. The name of this BBQ spice rub comes from the recipe’s most prolific ingredient, smoked paprika. This Spanish spice staple is made with peppers that are smoked and dried over oak wood. Customize the heat level of this spice blend that also features garlic, onion, and ginger notes, by selecting mild, medium, or hot smoked paprika.
Maple syrup tip of the day: Throughout the 4–6 week sugar season, each tap hole will yield approximately ten gallons of sap. This is only a small portion of the tree’s total sap production and will not hurt the tree. The average amount of syrup that can be made from this ten gallons of sap is about one quart. These amounts vary greatly from year to year, and depend upon the length of the season, the sweetness of the sap, and many complex conditions of nature, such as weather conditions, soil, tree genetics, and tree health.
Now we will shift gears and move on to the balsamic vinegars you would normally see in your local grocery store. As you shop for balsamic vinegar you will likely see many brands with the words “Balsamic Vinegar of Modena” on the label. Don’t confuse these bottles with the traditional balsamic; it’s a completely different process, and price point! For centuries it has been a farmhouse practice to mix concentrated grape must with wine vinegar and some aged vinegar to make a vinegar for everyday cooking. This is what “Balsamic Vinegar of Modena” is, a vinegar made from a mix of grape must and wine vinegar, produced at an industrial scale, to meet global demand for balsamic vinegar.
Beer Can Chicken Cooking Directions: Preheat grill to 325 degrees. For the class, we cook on a Kamado Joe (without a heat deflector) and we put an aluminum pan to catch the drippings. For other style barbeques use indirect heat.Remove giblet package from chicken and discard or save for another use. Wash the chicken inside and out and then pat dry with paper towel. Rub liberally with olive oil inside and out and then rub your favorite tnriveroliveoilco.com rub (We used Veggie Delight and Big Kahuna) liberally over chicken inside and out. Open the can and remove a little less than half of the contents. You can add more rub to the contents if you wish. Insert the can (or you may use the Kamado Joe Chicken Stand like we did in class) into the chicken’s “kazoo” as far as it will go so that the chicken is sitting upright. Next place it on the grill and kick out the two legs to make the bird stationary (like a tripod).
Steakhouse Brine Grilling Directions: Combine the ingredients in a gallon-size zipper-lock bag: seal and shake until the salt and sugar dissolve, about 30 seconds. (Note: for a faster method, bring the ingredients up to a low simmer in a sauce pan. Just make sure to let the mixture cool completely before adding the meat.) Put the bag in a bowl just large enough to hold it snugly. Open the bag and add the meat. Seal the zipper, leaving about an inch open; push on the bag to release any trapped air through the opening, and close the zipper completely. Massage the liquid gently into the meat and refrigerate for the suggested time as follows: Boneless Poultry: 1 hour; Bone-in Poultry, Chops and Steaks: 2 to 3 hours; Roasts: 3 to 8 hours (depending on size)
Balsamic vinegar comes from an Italian vinegar making process dating back to the middle ages. There are two main types. Traditional balsamic vinegar is made only with one ingredient – “grape must” (in Italian, “mosto”), the sweet juice of freshly pressed grapes – that is boiled to a concentrate, fermented and acidified, and aged for 12 to 25 years or longer in wood barrels. A highly crafted product, traditional balsamic vinegar is produced in small batches. It is sweet, tart, dark, syrupy, and expensive. You will only find this seriously pricy vinegar in a specialty store or online.
