Whole Smoked Prime Rib

Ingredients

1 boneless rib roast, about 5-6 pounds

1/2 cup non stick beef grilling marinade

2 Tbl kosher salt

Trim any excess fat from the rib roast.

Brush the marinade over the surface of the rib roast, and allow it to marinate at room temperature for one hour.

Prepare grill for medium indirect heat cooking.

Place the roast on the grill, fat side up and cook to desired doneness, about 1 1/2-2 hours for medium rare. Use a meat thermometer to check temperature (135-140 degrees for medium rare).

Transfer the roast to a cutting board and cover it with foil. Allow the roast to rest for 15 minutes before carving.

Yield: 8-10 servings

A Quiche for David

Quiche is French in origin, so this recipe is probably an abomination to some. My friend David Trigiani is a dual-citizen Italian is always taking a stand in the French food versus Italian food debate. Heavy whipping cream is a must, and never buy pre-shredded mozzarella. Grate your own. The same goes for parmesan cheese. Never, I repeat never buy that powdery substance in the green can. Invest in a good grater and you'll be a better cook for it. David lives in Jackson, Mississippi, but spends most of his holidays in Italy. He’s an excellent cook, though I have never eaten quiche in his home. Maybe this will inspire him, and I’ll get an invitation.
