Salado Egghead Gathering Recipes
Good food makes any event better. The registered Cooks and their helpers at the Salado Egghead Gathering proved that time and time again throughout the day as ‘Tasters’ sampled some of the wonderful food dishes produced on, what else – the Big Green Egg.
Some recipes elicited “Oooo’s and Ahhh’s” while others received “Wow’s!” But there were also lots of, “Where can I get that recipe?”
You’re in luck because the Salado Cooks want to share some of those recipes. They’re listed below, along with photos if any were taken.
The best compliment you can give the Cooks now is to try their recipe.

Ragin' River Salmon - texasAUtiger
Cut the skin off the salmon filets and trim the filets to about the size of your palm. Apply Dizzy Pig Ragin' River to both sides of the filet. I suggest doing this before you set up your fire to give the Ragin' River time to "soak in", which makes it more flavorful.
Set up the egg for direct heat, 325-ish on a raised grid. If you like, throw one handful of your favorite smoking chips into the fire and put the filets on. Don't flip it too soon, let the salmon firm up/crust up on the bottom (about 10 mins for me).
While this is happening, in a bowl melt one part butter (I use 1 tblsp real butter and use the microwave) with two parts real maple syrup (not the other stuff).
Flip the salmon, apply the butter/syrup mixture liberally to the done side. Cook the other side to desired doneness, normally another 5-7 minutes. When you take it off, coat the second side with the butter/syrup mixture.

Alton Brown's Homemade Soft Pretzels – Ugly Dog
http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/reci..._37073,00.html
1-1/2 cups warm (110 to 115 degrees F) water
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 package (2 teaspoons) active dry yeast
4 1/2 cups (22 ounces) all-purpose flour
2 ounces unsalted butter, melted
Vegetable oil, for for dough bowl
5 cups water
1/3 cup baking soda
1 large egg yolk beaten with 1 tablespoon water
Pretzel salt, coarse sea salt or kosher salt to sprinkle on top of pretzels
Combine the water, sugar and kosher salt in the bowl of a stand mixer and sprinkle the yeast on top. Allow to sit for 5 minutes or until the mixture begins to foam. Add the flour and butter and, using the dough hook attachment, mix on low speed until well combined. Change to medium speed and knead until the dough is smooth and pulls away from the side of the bowl, approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the dough from the bowl, clean the bowl and then oil it well with vegetable oil. Return the dough to the bowl, cover with plastic wrap and sit in a warm place for approximately 50 to 55 minutes or until the dough has doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
Bring the 5 cups of water and the baking soda to a rolling boil in an 3-quart saucepan or roasting pan.
In the meantime, turn the dough out onto a slightly oiled work surface and divide into 8 equal pieces. Roll out each piece of dough into a 24-inch rope. Make a U-shape with the rope, holding the ends of the rope, cross them over each other and press onto the bottom of the U in order to form the shape of a pretzel. Place onto the parchment-lined cookie sheet.
Place the pretzels into the boiling water, 1 by 1, for 30 seconds. Remove them from the water using a large flat spatula. Return to the parchment covered cookie sheet, brush the top of each pretzel with the beaten egg yolk and water mixture and sprinkle with the pretzel salt. Bake until dark golden brown in color, approximately 12 to 14 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack for at least 5 minutes before serving.
