These large, green, bumpy looking spheres aren’t pods from an alien universe, they are the latest in state-of-the-art grilling technology. The Ranch is pleased to have partnered with the makers of the Big Green Egg grills and The Alisal’s Executive Chef, Anthony Endy, is already putting them to good use. He is grilling, smoking and even baking up some mouthwatering treats for our lucky guests. The Big Green Egg Company was founded in 1974, by American entrepreneur Ed Fisher, who over the years, has refined an ancient cooking technology that traces its origins to the Chinese Qin Dynasty. Below you will find a tasty “how to” video on ways you can use your own Big Green Egg. Stay tuned for more videos and recipes as Chef Anthony Endy shares his secrets for grilling this summer. BLACK & BLUE BREAD PUDDING Chef Gordon was recently at The Alisal and demonstrated how outdoor Big Green Egg cookers can be used to make mouthwatering baked goods. Her recipe blends plump blackberries and blueberries into a scrumptious jam, then combines freshly made custard with bits of torn brioche bread to create her Black & Blue Bread Pudding. All of this yumminess is created by using a cast iron pot over a live flame and then baked in an iron skillet. CAST IRON NEW POTATOES Sometimes simple things done really well can create a magnificent experience. That philosophy has guided The Alisal for over six decades and it is the inspiration behind Executive Chef Endy’s popular recipe – Cast Iron New Potatoes. The dish blends fingerling new potatoes, charred sweet onions and leeks, topped with an ample helping of zingy jalapeño butter. Chef Endy uses his Big Green Egg outdoor cooker and an old-fashioned cast iron skillet to create side dish magic. Served up with a juicy steak, or fresh seafood, you have all the makings of a memorable Alisal feast.
