Hey guys!
Pita bread ... I've seen at least 20 different versions just across the middle east, and I am not talking about the naan, chapati, armenian lavash and another quadrizillion versions of a flatbread.... However, growing up in Israel, pita in my view is only that thick flatbread with...
Hey guys,
I love making this one - keeps well in the fridge, and if you vacuum pack it and freeze - easy can hold for a month or so... Pastrami is actually originated from Romania, there they call it "pastrama", and they do make it from beef, lamb, turkey, so I said, why not chicken?!

Hey guys,
Lamb shanks - one of the most underestimated cuts, and absolutely undeservedly. I love those braised or, in this case, smoked pretty much the same way they smoke turkey legs. So here we go!
So simple, so delicious - few lamb shanks, rubbed with olive oil and sprinkled with Kajun...
Hi there, guys!
This is my take on the absolutely mouthwatering recipe by Jess Pryles, the one and only!
What you will need:
- 3-4 lb pork belly, skin off, cut into 3-4cm (1 ½") cubes.
- Your favourite BBQ rub - I used a rub with a bit of cherry sweetness in it, e.g. Three Little Pigs Touch...
Hi guys,
Apple cider and beef short ribs... Never thought it's gonna be that good! Very simple method - 2 hours open smoke, 2 house in a foil pan with apple cider, wrapped, and 30 min rest.
Had this very nice rack of 3 ribs. Sprinkled it with a rub from my local supplier - we call it...
Hi guys,
Long time since I've posted anything here, very long time ... So here's a beer can chicken, which to be honest is not quite a beer can one, but rather a beer ceramic base. This base you can get on Amazon for about 20$, and then just use your favourite liquid in there - beer, apple...
Hi guys!
This time - back to the basics... I decided to grill a cut of 21 days dry aged sirloin, the old school style. No marinating, no spice rubs- just coarse salt, ground black pepper and extra virgin olive oil... Got some cherry tomatoes roasted as well, to make the garnish (and some extra...
Hey guys!
Long time no see! Work has kept me pretty much tied up, mostly with the travels. But now I am back, dust shaken off the smoker, and this time - smoked turkey breast pastrami with honey & orange glaze.
The brine (for 2 whole turkey breasts):
1.3 gallons of water8 tbsp coarse salt10...
Hey folks!
Ever since my trip to Toscana I still try to master the panna cotta dessert. There really can be endless variations of how the panna cotta can be served. This time I chose the "dance-in-the-plate" option: once the panna cotta is ready, carefully turn it over on a plate, and then -...
Hey folks,
So, my "fire under fire" saga continues . This time - smoked wings, with sweet, sticky and hot peach & Thai chili glaze.
The glaze is dead simple:
1/2 cup peach preserves1 cup Thai sweet chili sauce2 tbsp lemon juice.
Whisk 'em all together - job's done! Wanna make it hotter...
Hi folks!
Well, this one's really hot off the smoker. Made it last night and can't wait to share. It turned out so good I even forgot to take some decent pics
I like trying out different ideas for brines and injection solutions, and have done quite a lot of those. But let me tell you - this...
Hey folks!
It's been quite long since I posted something. Main reason is we're having a bit of a situation in Israel these days - some "unusual garbage" is falling on our heads, courtesy of our "cousins" from Gaza... But here I am, practically smoking under fire
So, finally I succeeded to lay...
Hi guys,
Here's one of the simplest ways to grill a fish I know, producing an extremely succulent fish with great smoky aroma and flavour. Initially, I tried it on a river trout, but this time - it's a baby grouper, one of the most noble fish of the Mediterranean.
For 4 portions:
4 baby...
Hey Folks!
Aye, I'm a wee bit Scotch fan . Actually, there's not even a single Irish or American whiskey in my bar - only Scotch single malts and couple of blends, like Ballantine's and that guy who never stopped walking - Johnny Walker. So for me pouring a shot or two of my favorite amber...
Hey Folks!
"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."... This is an ancient Chinese proverb, which intention, and I am sure of that, was also teaching a man to grill the fish he caught. This way or another, I love grilling fish and...
Hi guys,
This one is an indirectly grilled sirloin roast, with an interesting rub, and a grilled cherry tomato & mushrooms salad on a side. I especially recommend the salad - very tasty and a refreshing one.
Rub:
1/2 cup turbinado (or packed brown) sugar1/2 cup sweet paprika (I strongly...
Hey Folks!
This one is very simple, from grilling point of view, but the sauce is one of the most interesting ones I know. It's called "Beurre de Tomate" - tomato butter, and can be flavored, on top of the obvious, with any infusions you may think of. So here we go.
Ingredients:
4 striped...
Hey guys!
I just noticed this forum, and I am quite thrilled. The reason is I love cooking in the dutch oven (although I prefer it's central Asian name - kazan), and I have quite a few absolutely incredible dishes I am about to share!
Let's start with the plov. Being a close "relative" of...
Hey Folks!
Check out those boneless chicken drumsticks... Got them skinless as well, grilled in the simplest way possible (olive oil, salt & pepper, and off they go on the grill). The thing about this one is the sauce. It's a Cuban mojo - aromatic tangy sauce, standing on the holy trinity of...
Hey Folks,
This was the first recipe in the "How To Grill" book of Steven Raichlen... I took out the cheese, and made few twists in the rub, but here it is, and I called it "The Crazy Roastbeef"!
I took a 4 lb cut of boneless prime rib, and on top of it:
2 carrots, cut to 1/2" sticks4...
