2010 dr.com Fall Picnic Recipes

Here's a thread to collect the recipes from the picnic.

I used Mark Bittman's Vegetable Torte recipe (the 'cheesy' variation) from the "How To Cook Everything" app - one of my favorite iPhone apps. Here's a link to a NYTimes Minimalist article with the same/similar recipe. I did my veggies in the oven rather than on the grill.

Oatmeal Butterscotch Bars from Cook's Country/America's Test Kitchen.

As was cleverly done above, just follow one rule: Please give credit where credit is due -- if you took it from somewhere, please link or at least reference your source.

(If you don't feel like posting, you can PM me and I'll put them up here.)

Thank you, everyone, for such an amazing day!

Ribs from Costco. The rub:

1/2 cup kosher salt

1/2 cup loosely packed brown sugar

1/2 cup paprika

2 tablespoons black pepper

I swapped out 1 tablespoon paprika for ground chipotle, then added a little white sugar to balance out the heat.

The ribs sat in the rub for four hours, then were smoked in my Orion cooker with apple wood. They were finished on a grill with my ridiculously easy sauce, based on a recipe from one of Steven Raichlen's books:

1 bottle Sweet Baby Ray's barbecue sauce (40 oz)

1 jar ChiChi's thick and chunky salsa (24 oz)

3/4 cup apple cider vinegar

Ground pepper to taste

I would like to request the recipe for that beautiful plate of pickled vegetables and Zora's eggplant something. Thanks in advance.

I limited myself to just one, but was surprised at how good it tasted. I'm thinking about adding these to a cookie plate for the holidays.

The recipe for the rice and vegetable salad came from the Silver Palate Cookbook. The only difference is that they recommend homemade Vinaigrette dressing, and I use store-bought Italian dressing. Here is a link to the recipe:
