So watched one of my favorites (Pepin) make a dish some time ago and knew it was amazing. I added a couple of things and smoked it while roasting on the Genesis.

Starts with these characters, dried Chantrel Mushrooms, re-hydrated and cooked in their own juices to moisture is about gone, pistachio's, 2lbs of ground pork, frsh garlic smashed down then cut fine and about two tablespoons of a nice white wine. Add about two teaspoons of Morton Curing Salt. Some fresh ground black pepper.

Lay out some plastic wrap form into two 1 pound rolls, wrap snuggley forming as you go, then wrap again in aluminum foil. Age for twp to five days in the fridge. This one was a little over two days. The other to be done next week.

All suspects lined up for the cook, small yellow potatoes, one whole yellow onion quartered, these will roast with the sausage, and some portabellas and shallots in a separate CI and added when the meat is done.

Everything browning first on higher heat for a short time, the custom wood chip box holding a handful of mesquite chips. Roasted and smoked for about 40 minutes.

Awesome looking meal. The different tastes you show making my mouth water, and I just ate. Gave the grill a rest tonight.
 
That is really fantastic Bill! Will definitely being giving this one a try. I have loads of tender quick just
begging to be used. ;)
 
Wow Bill, top notch everything, including pics!
funny, I was watching Pepin and Julia cooking together last night on PBS.
I also saw Pepin doing something with TQ last week, liver pate I think.
 
I've seen a couple of those with Julia, but he really shines on his own. I learn so much just watching him in a kitchen. those Classically Trained Chefs are incredible.
 
AWESOME! Dont really like nuts in my food. But then again pistachio's is THE nut! And add Chantrel´s to the mix and im sold. LOVE it!
 
That looks great Bill.

Do you mix the TQ in with the meat or rub it on the outside of the rolled piece?

Thanks
 
Bill, cool looking cook. I recommend reading "The Apprentice: My Life in the Kitchen". It's the life story of Jacques Pepin. Very interesting read for anyone who appreciates his cooking.
 
Thanks for the heads up on the book will see if I can find it.

No the curing salt is added to the meat with all the other ingredients and using your hands mix it up good and form the sausage.

The pistachios' seem to render most of their flavor to the meat and are soft almost meat like when you bite into them. Two days is the minimum it should be allowed to age. Five days is supposed to be perfect and I have the second one aging in the fridge right now

Here is someones printed version of the recipe and the video of him doing it is on the web
