Tasty Tailgating Recipes For Bears Fans
David Maish, founder and chef of David's Bistro in Des Plaines, has some tasty recipes for Chicago Bears tailgaters:
Kansas City Slawter:2 cups shredded cabbage, white and red makes great color
1/2 cup chopped pineapple
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon vinegar
To taste: David's Bistro seasoning (white pepper, sea salt, thyme, garlic)
Mix all ingredients together in large bowl and serve chilled. If you like it a little creamier, use less milk and a little more mayo.
Da Coach's corn on the cob:Soak ears of corn for 10 minutes in water, leaving the husks on. Place on grill and cook about 20 minutes. Turning every 5 minutes.
Once corn is done melt some butter and add 1 teaspoon creole seasoning for every stick of butter used. Shuck your corn and dip in butter.
For a sweeter coach cob substitute the creole seasoning with 1 tablespoon honey.
Urlacher Burger:1/2 pound prime ground N.Y. strip steak, seasoned with David's Bistro seasoning (see above)
3 Grilled portabello mushroom slices
Slice of caramelized onion
2 slices havarti cheese
2 slices ripe tomatoes
Lettuce
Spicy mustard and creole mayo for garnish
Very large Italian crusty kaiser roll
Grill burger to medium and layer everything on top. You may need a skewer to hold the Urlacher Burger together.
Sexy Rexy Sangria with cosentino wine: 1 bottle of Cosentino Med Red
1 lemon peeled and chopped
1 lime peeled and chopped
1 orange peeled and chopped
1 peach chopped
1/2 pint raspberries
4 cups ginger ale or 7 up
2 shots of XO cognac
2 shots of Grand Marnier
Blend all ingredients together and drink immediately or it's best when served the next day. Serve over ice cubes in big martini glasses and garnish with mint.
