The wind that plagued us for most of this past Labor Day weekend is gone. It was a fierce wind that attempted to thwart our weekend grilling. I did not allow this, however!
Friday, I made shrimp étouffée, using Tony Chachere's jambalaya rice mix, Tony Chachere's étouffée sauce, and medium shrimp. It was delicious.
Saturday, I grilled thick top sirloin steaks (that Laura marinated earlier in the day), asparagus, and red potatoes. Laura produced a delightful accompaniment of sliced mushrooms and white onions, which she sautéed in extra-virgin olive oil, granulated garlic, ground black pepper, and Tony Chachere's More Spice.
Sunday, I sautéed rock fish fillets, seasoned with Tony Chachere's More Spice, lemon pepper, granulated garlic, and ground ginger and topped with thin slices of cluster tomatoes and chopped green onion.
Yesterday, I grilled two huge pork tenderloins, which I marinated in a mixture of extra-virgin olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Tony Chachere's More Spice, ground ginger, granulated garlic, ground black pepper, molasses, brown sugar, and Gebhardt's chili powder. I made a pot of Cajun beans, using sliced white onion, sliced garlic, diced Jalapeños, diced cluster tomatoes, red beans, ground black pepper, ground cumin, Tony Chachere's More Spice, and Gebhardt's chili powder. I charred the tenderloins on all sides and grilled the them for two hours—turning and mopping every 15 minutes with the marinade. I grilled three Tyson boneless, skinless chicken breasts and mopped them as they cooked with the marinade. The chicken breasts shall be used in an Oriental chicken dish this evening. This was a particularly delightful meal. Laura exclaimed that it was the best pork she had ever enjoyed. That speaks volumes, since we have produced many extraordinarily tasty pork meals over the years!
