Hey all. First: today's harvest of Matt's Wild Cherry tomatoes (tiny cherry tomatoes) and Yellow Pear.

Last night I picked up some rib lamb chops and a 1.87 lb hanger steak. If you are in the area, try Corrado's in Wayne. Great store for produce, etc, but the meat market is better than average with good prices too. Thanks to Jeff B for hanger butchery info here.

Lamb chops were marinated in Giada's recommendation of fresh rosemary, thyme, garlic, s&p, olive oil.

I had in mind to do a semolina bread bruschetta with onion jam, chèvre, pesto, gray salt, and good EVOO. Made the onion jam, which is easy, and I highly recommend it. Really delicious savory with a touch of sweet and tangy. Perfect with the goat cheese. Looks funny, tastes great.

Grilled the bread on one side, applied the toppings to that side, and finished the bruschetta indirectly on the grill for a couple minutes to warm everything. Delicious -- we could have just eaten a big plate of these for dinner.

Lamb rib chops on! Ssst! Ssst! and they're done. Wow. Super tender too.

Last night Janelle had made some patty pans (from the garden) and roasted them in the oven. I just warmed them up on the grill. Stuffed with Italian sausage, tomato sauce, mozzarella on top. Good stuff.

Hanger marinated in roasted garlic, chipotle, oregano, lime juice, olive oil, s&p.

Hanger on directly to sear both sides. (Lovin' the CIGs. Can you tell?) I probably over-cooked them slightly; medium instead of medium-rare, but really good and tender too. Hanger is a super cut of beef. Love it.

Thanks for visiting. Sorry, no plated pics, but you get the idea... Cheers!

looking good Gary! you got to love the $4/lb PRIME hanger

how much trimming did you need to do? I'd assume at that price they left you a bit

Really not that much. A bit of silver skin and the central sinew. I'm lucky to have Corrado's nearby. The two gents behind the counter at the meat dept are very helpful too. Those $19.99/lb dry aged steaks look mighty tempting each time I go there...
 
Wow Gary! Bruschetta looks incredible. Then you follow with that lamb and hangar? I'm speechless. Great cooking.
 
POST OF THE YEAR !!

EveryEVERY photo looks PERFECT!
Your grillin': PERFECT!!
a double take on your patty pans... first look, I thought they were EGGS for pete's sake!​
And your AWESOME rib chops look ABSOLUTELY SENSATIONAL!

local hanger prices (IF available, haven't seen it in months) 10.99lb.:(
 
I agree with Mr Lampe Post of the Year!
One of those posts you don't want to end!

A triple tip of my Weber cap to you Gary!
 
Tell me more about the pears?
Mike, the yellow pears are just a type of cherry tomato. They're low acid but have a great flavor. You may not find them in stores but they're certainly easy enough to grow.
Thanks to all for the kind comments by the way. Post of the year Jim?! That's a tough one to live up to, but thanks buddy.
 
That's absolutely outstanding Gary! I love it when I look at a post on here and the proteins, awesome as they are, aren't the most exciting dish. Thanks!
 
Lamb, my favorite meat of all time! Those are some beautiful chops, hopefully I can pull something that good looking off on my first cook on the new Performer.
