As Tropical Storm Fay bears down on us (we’re fine, just a lot of wind and rain), nothing much to do except work, and watch the rain. I worked most of the day, but now my cell keeps giving me an “all circuits busy”, so I opened a Kalik beer (I figure Bahamian beer is appropriate during tropical storms) and I’m going to write up last night’s dinner.
So, like a billion years ago (okay, two), I saw Emeril cook up some lettuce-wrapped spicy pork and rice. They looked pretty good, and I filed it away as something to try.
Oh man, these were good. I wouldn’t have thought it, as Emeril’s recipes always seem a little bland to me, which is odd coming from the self-appointed king of New Orleans spice. There’s not even any Essence in the recipe. But it works so well. I’ve made a couple adaptations, but here’s the link to the original: Bam!.
