Short Ribs part 2

Short ribs use one of my favorite cold weather cooking techniques to perfection....braising.  How much do I love braising certain meats?  I would wear a "I love braising" shirt every day....and I bought an All-clad braiser specifically for making short ribs, coq au vin, etc.  This version of short ribs is rich and smooth.  Served on top of creme fraiche potatoes.

Ultimate Burger!

Everyone knows burgers are one of my favorite things in the world, and would probably be my last meal.  For me it does not get any better than my short rib and ground chuck burger.  Cooked over charcoal and mesquite wood.....juiciest and most flavorful burger ever!!!  Did I mentioned its topped with homemade mayo and mesquite cured bacon!!??

Southwest Flavors

Cold avocado and corn soup, with cilantro oil and la crema  

Coffee ancho rubbed fillets with bourbon sauce, roasted red pepper sauce, and cilantro oil.  Tastes even better than it looks!!!

Spice rubbed pork tenderloin, ancho bourbon sauce, my favorite thing from Mesa Grill in Vegas

Awesome queso with goat cheese and roasted pepper sauce....amazing!!!

Chicken with Tarragon Cream Sauce

Whole roasted chicken, nice and juicy.  Topped with a rich and creamy tarragon cream sauce.  Nice treat with a  delicious French sauce.

Thai Red Snapper

Whole red snapper, with a wonderful red curry sauce.  Topped with fresh shaved carrots and cilantro.  Served with a very nice (and affordable) Riesling.  Great dinner....

Crawfish Risotto

After our trip to New Orleans, we were feeling a little cajun craving.  This is an adapted recipe from Mr. B's in the French Quarter.
