Each January, Chef Eric Ripert and Food & Wine magazine host the Cayman Cookout at The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman – a festival celebrating food, wine and the beauty of the Caribbean. The roster of chefs is impressive and features Anthony Bourdain and Jose Andres and, of course, Eric Ripert.
I was honored to be amongst this cadre of chefs from around the world. The first night’s dinner, called The Barefoot Barbecue, is on Seven-Mile Beach. As I manned the grill, sandwiched between Eric and Tony, I could hear the waves crashing, steel drums rumbling and wine glasses clinking. It’s an evening, a view and company I’ll never forget.
My contribution to this walk-around event was Grilled Niman Ranch lamb loin chops with a “Hong Kong-style Gremolata.” The boys have been asking me to make this dish at home on the Weber Kettle. It’s actually quick and easy, so give it a try.
