ISLAND STYLE SUMMER BBQ - DINNER AT HOME

ISLAND STYLE SUMMER BBQ

DINNER AT HOME

Hosted a good friend from California to a BBQ dinner at our home.  I used the BBQ grille and Electric Smoker to cook up some Chicken and meats.  Started the evening with a Pupu Platter consisting of grilled Habanero Sausage, Mozzarella Cheese wrapped in Italian Meats and Gouda Cheese with thin pretzels.  Next up was a huge plate of fresh Hawaiian Ahi Sashimi.  Raw Tuna that melted like butter in your mouth.  Simply delicious.  Grilled up some chicken thighs on the bbq and then placed them in the smoker to keep warm.  Grilled a Rib Eye Steak and cut it into thin strips so everyone could enjoy a few bites of beef.  I had limited time and cooked the pork ribs in the pressure cooker for 15 minutes.  Then placed them in the smoker for almost three hours.  The smoker added just the right amount of smoke flavor.  I placed brown sugar, honey and spices on some Wild Sockeye Salmon and placed that in the smoker too.  Finished the meal with Asparagus cooked on the grille and some home made Cole Slaw.  Great meal served up with some really nice bottles of vino.
