As mentioned previously, I haven't posted regularly of late, but my feeble brain remembered to snap a couple pics yesterday afternoon. I have a trade show in a few weeks, and have not had to travel for several weeks. I dread trying to squeeze into a suite and put a necktie on.
So, in order to feed my crave to smoke meat, and still do something "healthy", I did my second Turkey Breast. Did one a while back. Well, this dang thing ugly, but the rest in the rack looked similar. The first one I did came out very well. Soooo............a few pics.
I don't inject often, but when I do its usually a bird breast and this has been a good one
I made her as purdy as I could
She smoked well, though.
Tasted good too. I went light on the injection relative to the first one I did, so the streaks are not as pronounced, but you can see the injection in the slices.
Tried a recipe idea and used the air fryer for green beans. Good stuff. Trim, wash and dry them. Toss in a bowl with olive oil, crushed garlic, parmesan cheese and some salt or seasoning and into the air fryer at 375 or so. Mine is old and analog, so who really knows what the temp is. The bacon had already been cooked (I keep a baggy of real bacon bits for salads and stuff) and I tossed in a handful of bacon bits towards the end.
Fine china as usual. I had some homemade aioli, and a little BBQ Sauce for the occasional dip. It was good eatin.
This morning, I'll cut off a slab or two for eatin' and vac seal the rest. Did that last time too and it was fine.
