What's Cooking for Easter?
dk117:
green bean casserole (like on the back of a French's package) from the wife and I'll probably make some deviled eggs. Headed to the in-laws. Normally we'd host an ornate brunch. As the kids have gotten college aged and COVID put us in full on lapsed Catholic category... just not as fun anymore.

The only thing I'm smoking is a pork butt; going to try Lambert's Sweet Rub O' Mine(with a dash of cayenne), with a sorghum molasses coating, and see how that works. Others are bringing a ham, and there's too many sides to count. :lick:

May I ask how large of a congregation you are cooking for?
For myself, my cousin's husband volunteered me to cook and host Easter dinner. Pretty plain and basic, I am not able to work outside the box. Ham and carbs pretty much. Mashed potatoes, noodles, corn , bread, stuffing, and some kind of cake, the cousin is bringing a strawberry pole cake, so keeping with that theme I am going to do a Boston Cream Pie poke cake. Probably only be about 15 people.

They are fairly small groups. There were 26 at the Maundy Thursday service. I am not anticipating more than a dozen at the Sunrise Service. We are making a push for people to watch on Facebook if they don't want to face the elements. The Easter dinner however, will probably serve 125+ people. My only job will be to drop off lunches to those who are shut-in.

As a result I've been charged with grilling pork chops. I bought a pork loin and will cut two-inch boneless chops from it, brine them and two-zone grill them in my kamado. It would be easier to grill them on the PK but it won't hold them all. Others are making the sides.

Would you mind sharing your brine recipe? I am doing pork chops for our family Easter, which we will celebrate the Saturday after Easter.

I'll happily offer it up. I posted it in Basic Brine a couple of years ago.
EDIT: This is my favorite pork chop recipe. It's what I'm doing again for this Easter meal.
