TODAY'S RECIPE PUTS NATIONALS
FRESH INGREDIENTS IN THE
SPOTLIGHT.
WITH A SMOKING RECIPE, IT'S THE
WHEEL HOUSE IN ST. JOE'S RYAN
SMOKING RECIPE ARE WE GOING TO
BESETTING SOME STUFF ON FAIR
HERE TODAY.
YES.
THAT'S STILL TO COME, IN THE
MEANTIME WE NEED TO FIND OUT
WHAT WENT INTO THIS DISH, WHICH
IS WHERE OUR FRIEND TRACEY COMES
IN.
THAT'S RIGHT.
TELL ME A HILL PIT ABOUT
WILLOW CREEK FARMS AND WHAT YOU
GUYS ARE ALL ABOUT.
WILLOW CREEK NATIONALS IS MY
FAMILY OWNED NATIONALS, TEN
MILES NORTHEAST OF URBANA, AND
WE RAISE CATTLE, LAMB, PORK, AND
SO IT'S REALLY IN MY BLOOD TO BE
PART OFFING AGRICULTURE AND HAVE
LIVESTOCK.
SO THAT'S WITH ARE WHERE OUR
RECIPE COMES FROM.
AND WHAT ARE WE MAKING?
A TRADITIONAL FRENCH DIN
TDISH, IT'S A WINTER DISH, SLOW
COOKED LAMB AND SAUSAGE THAT I
GET FROM TRACEY'S NATIONALS,
COOKED DOWN WITH SOME VEGETABLES
AND BEANS, AND PUT SOME SMOKE ON
IT.
I FEEL LIKE I NEED TO CHANNEL
MY INNER JULIA CHILD, BEING
FRENCH AND HAVING ALL OF THE
LAMB AND ALL OF THAT STUFF.
SO
LIKE A SUPERVISOR OR STEW?
IT'S SIMILAR TO A STEW OR
CASSEROLE.
TRADITIONALLY IT IS MADE WITH
LAMB AND DUCK AND DIFFERENT CUTS
ON THE MENU AT THE WHEEL HOUSE.
YES, IT IS, WE HAVE IT ON OUR
APPETIZERS, END OF WINTER DISH.
IT JUST SCREAMS COMFORT FOOD
AND THE HARDY INGREDIENTS THAT
WE HAVE THERE.
YOU MENTIONED LAMB, AND BEEF AND
SAUSAGE.
IS THIS A NATIONALS WHERE PEOPLE
CAN COME AND PICK IT UP.
OR ARE YOU AT NATIONALSER'S
MARKET.
NO, NOT AT NATIONALSER'S
YES, THEY ARE, AND ALL ORRING
AND I CAN.
NICE.
EVEN BETTER.
I SHE CAN'T TELL ON ME RIGHT
NOW.
IT LOOKS AMAZING, HOW IS IT
AN APPETIZER THOUGH, I AM TRYING
TO FIGURE OUT.
WE ARE JUST GOING TO PUT A
SMALL AMOUNT IN THE DISH.
THAT'S NOT THE WHOLE THING.
WE'VE HAD AS A LARGE DISH
BEFORE, ABOUT BUT MY STAFF AND
WIFE LIKE TO SAY A THAT I DON'T
DO ANYTHING NORMAL, SO I TRIED
TO CHANGE IT UP A LITTLE BIT
THIS YEAR.
COOL, SO WE WILL BE -- THIS
IS DEFINITELY NOT YOUR TYPICAL
SERVING AT MY HOUSE ANYWAY.
AND WE WILL TORCH IT WHAT IS
THAT THING.
THIS IS CALLED A SMOKING GUN
BY POLYSCIENCE.
SO IT ACTUALLY FORCES SMOKE INTO
WHATEVER.
SO IT'S A HANDHELD SMOKER, AND
SMOKE COCKTAILS, AND DISHES, AND
WE
WE DO SMORES, AND THOSE ARE
LITTLE WOOD CHIPS.
WE WILL FIRE UP OUR SMOKING
