John Ashcroft - Simple BBQ
Simmer country-style ribs for one hour (this makes them extremely tender).
A Wisconsin tradition for the 4th of July .... Bratwurst!
Step 1: Plan ahead, marinate in garlic, onions and your favorite spices.
Side dishes:
Beverages:
1/2 small head white cabbage
Combine finely sliced cabbage and roughly grated radish
Dressing:
2 cups mayonnaise
Mix all ingredients and pour over cabbage/radish
Serves 20+
24 oz. packaged, pre-seasoned, yellow rice
4 grilled chicken breasts, sliced up into bite-sized pieces
Mix above ingredients together and refrigerate until chilled. When everything is chilled, combine both batches together and put on serving platter. Decorate the top with the following ingredients:
1 c. tomatoes, cut into 1/8ths
When serving, have rice and dressing both on table. Each person serves himself.
Dressing
12 large eggs, boiled hard and peeled
Cut eggs in half and set aside. Put egg yolks in food processor and add all ingredients. Process for 20 seconds or until mixture has blended. Check for taste and increase mustard, salt or Habanero sauce if desired. Place mixture in piping bag with star tip and pipe into egg halves. Sprinkle with paprika and chopped parsley. Chill for about an hour before serving.
Note about Yucatan Sunshine Habanero sauce: Habanero is a type of hot sauce, which can be substituted with Tabasco sauce. Yucatan Sunshine and other brands of the sauce can be purchased at most local supermarkets nationwide. The Bushes used the Yucatan Sunshine Habanero when living in Texas, and now the White House chef uses the sauce in a variety of recipes.
