My wife and I like to make corn chowder, especially this time of year. It's pretty flexible, but you basically start with a base of corn and stock and add whatever you like. Possible inclusions:

Potatoes/Onion/Leeks

Beans/Peppers/Chipotles

Smoked sausage

Broccoli/Cabbage

Cheese/Velveeta

Milk/Cream

I was inspired by the previous post about Instant Pot ribs. Here’s mine from tonight.

 

Central BBQ (Memphis, TN) Dry Rub seasoning, apple juice and bourbon as the juice in the pot. 

25 minutes pressure cook.

10 minute natural release

Coat with Stubbs BBQ sauce broil top rack until caramalized.

Reglaze and shake more rub on top.

Broil again.

Photograph and then eat!

Home-made from scratch with shrimp and garden fresh okra gumbo with roasted crushed tomatoes. I even made my own roux!! The roux worked perfectly! Cooked on medium heat for 20 minutes then I took it off the heat, and it continued to brown in the measuring cup until it was chocolate brown!!

Only thing missing was the crawdads!!

This was my first gumbo attempt, I love hiw the okra cooks down and then thickens everything. Purists will probably holler that I used tomatoes rather than letting the roux provide the color, but I like a tomato background in there. 

 

I do need recommendations for a new canjun seasoning, the one I have is WAY salty and nit nearly as spicy as I want, so I used a LOT more cayanne. All in all it blended very well with thick spicy stew and delicious seasoned shrimp. I just threw them in raw with about 30 minutes left on the cook.

 

It turned out just like I like it, spicy and chunky with loads of shrimp...4 pounds!!!

This is from Chef Paul's book.  Although it's meant specifically for the etouffee recipe I really like it as a catch all cajun seasoning.  It's excellent as a blackening spice mix.

Thank you! I was afraid of using basil because I didn’t want it tasting Italian. Gonna have to see about the white pepper and why it’s different than black.

Maybe cooking with white pepper is something...but the Chinese restaurant we used to go to had white pepper in the table shakers, and I hated it, always brought my own black pepper.?

That would be a great test comparison! 

You said you had them in the bath for 24 hours? How did you finishe them?

I had them at 152 for 24 hours.  I finished them by applying BBQ sauce and putting them on my gas grill.  Broiling or grilling should work the same just some way to crisp them up.  Gonna try a little liquid smoke next time too.

They're pepper berries before they are ripe and turn black and hard.  Has a more peppery flavor but not quite as sharp.  If that makes any sense.  I also use white pepper in dishes where I don't want the black specks but I want some of the flavor.  Like risotto for instance.

Let me know your thoughts on the liquid smoke, for some reason I’m skeptical, but I see it used a lot...so maybe I’m wrong

It is literally liquid smoke. It's made by condensing smoke. It actually works reasonably well, especially for someone who can't smoke (say lives in an apartment) or wants to use a slow cooker or other pot but still get smoky dishes. 

 

You can even make your own liquid smoke believe it or not. 

 

Just be sparing with it, a little goes a long way.

Pretty much what Dfitz said.  This will be my first time using it.  I ordered apple wood smoke as I like to use apple wood when I actually do smoke. Just using a few drops.

Pork shoulder in instant pot.

 

layered with onions on base with the spices rubbed on pork and poured sauces on top (half cups of bbqs, splash of red hot and quarter cup of vinegar).  Did high pressure for about 70min the removed onions and some of the liquid and put on sauté for 5 minutes with left over juices and additional sauces. 

 

Turned out with a nice sweet tangy flavor, slightly over salty but not too bad
