If you haven’t decided what to make the mother in your life on Mother’s Day this Sunday, consider a quiche. This version originates from the Lorraine region in the east of France, and has been thoroughly enjoyed internationally since its rise in popularity in the mid 20th century.

I’ve cooked many foods on my charcoal barbecue, but one of my favorite ways to do so is hot smoked pork butt. I like to use plenty of wood chips to impart a strong smoky flavor. Don’t worry if you smell a bit like a campfire after making this: a quick t-shirt change and a hair wash will easily solve that problem.

Recipe of the Week: Choucroute Garnie

This simple Alsatian dish, abridged from my book “Cooking Meat”, takes some time to make but it is rustic comfort food at its best, and truly celebrates many of the cuts the pig offers us. On the next cold night, invite some friends over and throw this popular French bistro dish in the middle of the table with a baguette, some good mustard, a jar of gherkins, and plenty of Riesling. You’ll be a star.

Serves 8 to 10

Recipe of the Week: Steak Fajitas

March Break is a fantastic opportunity to get your kids in the kitchen, helping out with meal preparation. This recipe is a great starter recipe for kids, as there is some chopping and cooking, and the final result is well enjoyed by all.

Serves 4

Ingredients:
2 lbs skirt steak
2 tbsp Sanagan’s Taco Spice
1 small onion, sliced into strips
1 red pepper, sliced into strips
1 tbsp vegetable oil
8-12 tortillas
Optional toppings like pico de gallo, shredded lettuce, grated cheese, and sour cream

Method:

1. Slice the steaks against the grain into strips about ½ inch wide. Put the steak strips into a large work bowl, and mix with 1 tbsp of the Taco spice.
2. In another large bowl, mix the onions and pepper with the other tbsp of Taco spice.
3. Put the oil in a large pan over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the beef and stir to brown. Keep stirring and browning until fully cooked, about 5 minutes. Remove the beef from the pan and put in a clean wok bowl, reserving the fat in the pan. Put the pan back in the heat.
4. Add the vegetables to the hot pan and saute until fully cooked, about 5 minutes. Add the cooked vegetables to the bowl with the steak, and toss to combine.
5. Meanwhile, put a clean heavy bottomed pan (cast iron or non-stick work well) over a medium heat. When hot, toast the tortillas one by one, flipping them when they are golden on one side. This usually take about 1 minute per tortilla. When toasted, put them in a bowl and cover with a clean towel in-between batches.
6. Serve the fajita mix with the tortillas, and any additional toppings you like!

Today on Talk From the Butcher Block: Skirt Steak!

Taken from the interior of the flank/rib area of the carcass, the skirt steak is a long, well-marbled steak consisting of a loose network of muscle fibers. When cooked, skirt steak is super juicy with a decent chewiness that can be tempered if sliced against the grain. It is a butcher's favourite steak, and soon to become one of yours!

Today on Talk From the Butcher Block: Short Ribs!

Chuck short ribs come from underneath the shoulder, and typically need a long bath in aromatic liquid to break down its tough muscle fibers. Unless you get them cut very thinly, like for Kalbi/Miami Short Ribs. However you cut them and cook them, they are certainly delicious!

How do you like your short ribs?
