ckreef Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Sriracha lime chicken and onions served on a bed of lime risotto with a side of grilled lime carrots. I normally cook by the seat of my pants but....... This was a multi part cook using 3 kamados and an outdoor burner. I figured I better scribble some notes so I don't forget anything. First we needed to properly lubricate the chef with a Blackcurrant Lime Vodkatini or 3. After being properly lubricated the above notes proved very helpful - LOL Sriracha lime chicken and onions. Lime risotto. Grilled lime carrots. Drum roll please ... ... ... ... I love these challenge cooks to really push me. Fairly simple recipes. The hardest part was firing up and managing 3 kamados while cooking the risotto on the outdoor burner. All round good cook. Probably the best carrots I've ever cooked. Set a new standard for carrots at the Bistro. JoeC, DerHusker, PennHead and 11 others 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TY In2Fish - probably could have done it on one kamado but 3 was just easier and allowed everything to finish at the same time. Plus it's been a while since I played with the Akorn Jr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CeramicChef Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 @ckreef - Charles, this is one very nice cook. I particularly like the risotto part and your vodkatini. Congrats, kudos, and bottoms up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KismetKamado Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Sign me up for a few of the vodkatini's as well. Best way to start a cook. And loves the notes - lol. The carrots are beautiful, chicken looks perfect, and anyone who can knock out risotto like that has my admiration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shuley Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 All of it looks awesome. And, as a lime lover, this would suit my palate amazingly. I have to say those carrots look stupendous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a few of those the notes were a must have. Not really recipes and I mainly winged the amounts but I didn't forget any ingredients. I love making risotto. Once I figured it out it's been a really easy cook ever since. I do it on my outside burner. Have the stock warming in a small crock pot and all the ingredients on a tray in the order they're used. From turning on the burner to turning it off 40-45 minutes. As long as I time everything else right it's all done at the same time.

Of course I'll pull off the greens in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skreef Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 I have refrain from posting til now cause I don't like lime in food only with the exception of homemade salsa. But... But I really enjoyed the chicken.. It was loaded with flavor with the saute onions and the carrots were very good and tender but not mushy. The Risotto was a bit to lime-me but the texture was perfect.. Exception of the lime flavor, I think this was his best Risotto to date. Over all, this was a Winner. Great job managing all your grills and burner like a pro.. Thanks for another great meal. ckreef 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoke and Awe Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Love the creativity and theme here, and as I love lime too, I'd be all over this meal. Beautiful flowers, great artistry as always. ckreef 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
