made a frittata using grilled lamb, spinach and brie instead of seafood and mascarpone

frittata

basically a baked omelette

the fillings can change but this is my fav:

2 tablespoon unsalted butter
6 eggs
2 ounces smoked salmon
2 ounces baby shrimp, thawed and drained
2 ounces crabmeat, drained
2 tablespoon chives, chopped
2 tablespoon mascarpone (or cream cheese)
2 tablespoon sour cream
salt and pepper to taste

melt the butter in a non stick pan over medium heat
whip eggs til well blended
pour into non stick pan
and with a rubber spatula move the egg around abit to bring the cooked surface into the middle (makes it cook faster)
add seafood , chives and mascarpone
season with salt and pepper
stir again once to incorporate
stick in a 350 F oven for 12-15 minutes til bake through
top with sour cream before serving

BEER CAN CHICKEN
For the rub:

1 teaspoon dry mustard

1 teaspoon granulated onion

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic

1/2 teaspoon ground coriander

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper





1 whole chicken, 4 to 5 pounds

2 teaspoons vegetable oil




1 16 ounce can beer




To make the rub: In a small bowl combine the rub ingredients.



Remove and discard the neck, giblets, and any excess fat from the chicken. Rinse the chicken, inside and out, under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Lightly spray or brush all over with the vegetable oil and season, inside and out, with the rub.



Open the beer can and pour off half of the beer. Set the half-full can on a flat surface and slide the chicken over the top so the can fits inside the cavity. Transfer the bird to the grill, keeping the can upright. Carefully balance the bird on its two legs and the can. Grill over Indirect Medium heat until the juices run clear and the internal temperature reaches 170°F in the breast and 180°F in the thickest part of the thigh, 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours. Wearing barbecue mitts, carefully remove the chicken and the can from the grill, being careful not to spill the beer – it will be hot. Let the chicken rest for about 10 minutes before lifting it from the can. Discard the beer. Cut the chicken into serving pieces. Serve warm over your favourite salad
