Lamb Burgers with Homemade Onion Rings

Felt like a burger but needed to shake things up. No beef, no chicken and defiantly NOT veggie burgers so lamb it is. I have grown an aversion to store bought ground meats so got some lamb to grind

IMG_1978_zpsf05905ab.jpg


Cut into strips for grinding.

IMG_1979_zps4e40606b.jpg


Back into the fridge to cool. Grinder head into the freezer.

IMG_1980_zpsd4c961e4.jpg


Ready to go. Some crushed ice to keep things cold.

All done.

Add some roasted garlic, S&P and chopped parsley.

After about an hour, the IT is around 100F - move to cold smoke area to rest while MAK heats up.

So what the heck is that? Well, it's a smoked/grilled ribeye with grilled prawns drizzled with red chile oil and a stuffed poblano pepper (stuffed with rice, beans, cheese and a bunch of other stuff) covered with melted Monterey Jack cheese also drizzled with the red chile oil! Oh boy! Here we go!

Start with the players for the Red Chile Oil. Chile de arbol, thyme, garlic and EVOO. Blend in a food processor until smooth.
IMG_0590_zpsaf2d7fc6.jpg

IMG_0671_zpsf51daf59.jpg


Here are some of the ingreds for the stuffed poblanos. EVOO, onion, garlic, jalapenos, red bell pepper, cilantro, cumin, pinquito beans, brown rice, Tamazula hot sauce, Monterey Jack cheese.
IMG_0594_zpsa849e423.jpg


Cut off the tops of the poblanos.
IMG_0596_zps187b6e26.jpg


Prepare the stuffing. Mix in some grated jack cheese then stuff the peppers
IMG_0601_zps2d595612.jpg


Add some more grated jack cheese on top so it'll melt and ooze down the sides!
IMG_0605_zpsdc8399f5.jpg


Marinate the shrimp in EVOO, crushed garlic, BPS Jalapeno Seasoned Salt
IMG_0618_zps5306353e.jpg


Get the stuffed poblano chiles onto the MAK at 300 for approx 50-60 mins
IMG_0628_zpseec1cbf0.jpg


Get the ribeyes going on the BPS drum with a chunk of red oak and a handful of cherry pellets. The ribeyes were seasoned with roasted garlic EVOO, jalapeno seasoned salt and DSSR.
IMG_0630_zps364bbb33.jpg


stuffed poblanos are done and lookin good.
IMG_0645_zps6f8822f4.jpg


The ribeyes are also done, time to quick grill the prawns on the drum
IMG_0650_zps0ea5f5ca.jpg


Drizzle with the red chile oil and fresh thyme. Lookin good!
IMG_0652_zps1a786565.jpg


Plate it up! Drizzle some of the red chile oil over the stuffed pepper. OK, can't even begin to describe how good this was! The red chile oil was not real hot. Just provided a nice garlicky, red peppery, herby accent with a little back end heat. The stuffed chile was fantastic. Mrs scooter thought it could be the star of its own meatless show. Thanks for looking!
