Cioppino (Fisherman’s Stew). After dropping off Cioppino (Fisherman’s Stew).
After dropping off the chicken pot pie at my mother-in-law’s, we stopped by the fish market to get some wild shrimp, wild squid & organic mussels. I had made lobster stock 2 weeks ago and pulled it out of the freezer for tonight’s dinner.
I used the recipe from my blog: zimmysnook.ca changing out the clams for mussels.

A very large roaster chicken, cooked on the rotiss A very large roaster chicken, cooked on the rotisserie.
I’ve been wanting to test out the rotisserie on my new @HestanHome grill, so I picked up this very large, local chicken, dry rubbed it and let it sit in the fridge overnight.
Then simply cooked it on low and let nature take its course.

The rotisserie system is an ultra quiet, concealed, motorized chain driven system, which can hold up to 50 pounds, and always stays perfectly balanced. Incredible design! 👍👍

Grilled local French centre-cut pork chops, served Grilled local French centre-cut pork chops, served alongside bok choy with ginger, apples & soy and onion fried pierogi.
I decided to test the new @hestanhome grill’s sear burner. 
I started earlier with a couple of burgers for mom & dad and quickly learned that this burner gets freak’in hot! 🔥 
For these chops, I turned the burner to low and was blessed with crispy, delicious, charred edges and a beautiful blush interior.
Hope y’all had a delicious weekend!
