Well it may not be the most conventional resume for a cookbook author, but it may be the most interesting.What can one say? Even revolutionaries gotta eat. Don't for a moment think that you are going to get some ribs spread with Kraft Sauce stuck in an oven. This is Bobby Seale. The man knows his 'que and there are no shortcuts. His "quick" barbeque sauce has 18 ingredients!
Pork is not the only white meat out there. Bobby grills chicken, turkey, game hens, fish, and beef. His marinades, rubs, and sauces are complex and involved -- he leaves no stone unturned.
While the cookbook was published in the late 1980's, it has a very modern feel. Much of his attention turns to sides and vegetables to accompany the barbeque, though many would make fine meals, in and of themselves.
Seal if fond of "goobers" and points out that the goober is a generic African word that refers to nuts in general, not the peanut in particular. In this recipe the goober of choice is the black walnut.
Goober Carrot Raisin SlawAs Bobby Seale says,
4 medium sized carrots, washed and finely grated
1 cup cabbage (white or red), finely grated
1 1/3 cup raisins
1 cup crushed black walnuts
1 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing
1/2 teaspoon each ground black pepper, onion parsley salt (or to taste)
Parsley for garnish
In a 3- or 4- quart bowl, combine and mix together grated carrots, cabbage, 1 cup raisins, and walnuts with mayonnaise or salad dressing. Season to taste with black pepper and onion parsley salt. garnish with bits of fresh parsley and the remaining 1/3 cup of raisins.
"Thousands of culinary experts, particularly in the South, guard and keep their secret recipe methods. I happen not to be one of them."
