Welcome to Barbecue Pit Boys: Cooking Up a Storm
Today, we're cooking up some tomatoes and potatoes at the pit, and it's real easy to do, just like I said. We've got the perfect side dish going on for whatever type ofcue you've got going on, because you always need a little sidekick when you're firing up the grill. So, let's get started!
Oil Down a Cast Iron Pan: The Key to Success
First things first, we need to oil down our trusty cast iron pan. This is where all the magic happens, folks! We're using a little bit of oil and seasoning it with some salt and pepper. Now, don't be shy with the seasoning; you want to make sure your pan is nice and coated so that it doesn't stick when we add in our potatoes.
Layering On the Potatoes: The Perfect Char Texture
Now that our pan is ready, let's take some freshly sliced potatoes and layer them at the bottom of the pan. As this cooks, it'll give us that perfect char texture right at the bottom – you know what I'm talking about when it comes to frying up some potatoes? It's all about getting that crispy outside while keeping the inside fluffy.
Adding Italian Seasoning: A Flavor Boost
Next, we're going to hit a little bit more oil on top of those potatoes and add some seasoning. Now, this is where things get interesting – our Italian seasoning is basically rosemary, oregano, thyme, sage, and basil all mixed together. It's like a flavor bomb just waiting to happen! We're also adding in some fresh chopped garlic because you can never have too much garlic, right?
Layering On the Tomatoes: The Finishing Touch
Now it's time to add our tomatoes – garden fresh is always best, but if you can't get those, use what you can and make do. Just make sure they're sliced up into medium pieces and layered on top of the potatoes. We're calling this dish a "tomato potato" or whatever you want to call it; just make it work!
Adding More Garlic: The Secret Ingredient
We're going to load on more fresh chopped garlic because, let's face it, garlic is the best! It adds a depth of flavor that can't be beat. We're also sprinkling some leafy green stuff – that's basil, folks! – to make it look pretty and add a bit of freshness.
Finishing Touches: Cheese and Oil
Now we've got our tomatoes on top, it's time to add the finishing touches. We're using grated parmesan cheese because why not? It's an Italian theme going on here, so we might as well roll with it! We're also coating everything in a bit more oil just to keep things moist and delicious.
Bringing It All Together: The Grill
We've got our pan ready, and now it's time to bring it all together. We're placing the pan indirect opposite the hot coal at 350 degrees Fahrenheit, which means we can manage the heat without super frying the bottom. This is where patience comes in – let it cook for a while until everything is golden brown and delicious.
What to Expect: A Flavorful Dish
Even if you don't like veggies, this dish goes well with anything! We're talking stuffed grilled barbecue pork chops – Lord have mercy, it's good! The pit masters are eating it right in front of us, and they're not apologizing for a second. This is the kind of food that'll make your taste buds do the happy dance.
