I've been planning this cook for about a week now. For starters, I picked up a couple of Prime Tri Tips at Costco this week. Got a little carried away with my sides. Did some Potatoes au Gratin in my little 2 Qt. Cast Iron Dutch Oven and Garlicky Pattypan Squash. Then, kind of as a salad, I grilled a couple of avacados topped with roasted tomatoes and a few other veggies. Just a couple of quick comments. I grew up eating Pattypan Squash. My Mom cooked them all the time. I'd kind of forgotten about them as they are nowhere to be found in my area and haven't been for years. I saw a post Jim Lampe made last year with Pattypan Squash and I've been looking for them ever since. When I was in the Bay Area last week, I found a few from a local grower at Whole Foods. Can't remember who posted the grilled avacados a couple of weeks ago, but that post gave me the idea for these avacados. Lastly, a loaf of Seeded Sourdough. Tried to get this done yesterday, but the bulk fermentation would have had me baking at around 10:00 pm. Put it in fridge overnight and baked it up this morning for tonight's dinner. Sorry so wordy. I try not to make our Gallery a blog.
Stuffing for Avacados. Grape tomatoes, onion, garlic, fresh corn, jalapenos.
About 5 minutes.
Topped with more jalapenos (including seeds) and chopped Cilantro. Recipe called for this warm. Did them earlier in day and served cold.
4 Russets with skin, heavy cream, whole milk, flour, s&p, and a ton of garlic.
On for about an hour.
Tri Tip on also. Homemade rub.
Pulled lid after 30 minutes.
Getting there.
