Happy Monday Grand Cookies!
And here's to a very super and smoky fun new week!
I know, I know, how much crazy cuttlefish can a gal really eat, right?
Granted I've posted about 1,000 cuttlefish threads or photos already, seeing as I eat it about once a week....
But I had some random things to use up today, like little tomatoes and some shallot..
and some really lovely fat cuttlefish...
and then a can/container of some loose oysters (without the shell) which I usually use in rice or pasta dishes...
and fresh basil...
and a couple portabella caps...
So I chopped up the shallot tomato and basil - and cried while chopping the shallot - happens every time!
As if sinuses weren't open then enough, I sprinkled TONS of cayenne pepper on that mix - and it was Yippie Cayenne Mother Fu..FULL OF SPICES!!!! Yes, that's what it was! And so I cried some more!
And stuffed some mixture into each cuttle guy...
and into the mushrooms..
and oiled the bottoms of it all with some grapeseed oil...
and got that little can of oysters into a bowl...
and tucked oysters into the mushrooms and cuttlefish...
and used pistachio shells as "smoking chips" (seeing as my husband eats over 100 pistachios every day, it now makes sense to save the shells, (as Knuckle47 on this site has taught me well)...
And the cuttlefish went onto a grill grate atop my little dirty gas smoker (that I need to CLEAN) and the mushrooms sat on the sides of that grate...
and I covered that up and smoked it on "medium-high" heat for 18 minutes...
and I drizzled Tunisian olive oil over it, ground up some pink Himalayan sea salt over it too, and even chopped up two strawberries - raw - that somehow sounded like a good little garnish to use up as well...
and these smoky sensations were really just WON-DER-FUL!!!
a little more fresh basil around the edges was great, as I mopped that up afterward in any juices and oil and fallen mixture that was left at the bottom of the plate after eating...
and everything was juicy and tasty and lovely!!!
A simple dinner, but really fun!
Thanks very much for sharing in my Monday, and make this new week the best one you've ever experienced so far!!!!!!!!!!
