Kirschner plans to burn a slew of different woods (almond, apple, olive, oak, walnut) to impart flavor on food, and every day the menu will list the daily choice of wood." Wildwood can't wait to taste the results.

As the meat cooks, succulent juices collect in a water bath that runs along the bottom, creating a delicious steam and allowing for easy clean-up.

</div>We thought we'd usher in the first official day of summer with some glamour-shots of the newest beauty in our line of precast, wood-fired ovens. We took a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/WildwoodOvensAndBBQs">Facebook</a> poll earlier this year to figure out what we should call this vision of shiny copper, and there was a tie between "Golden God" and "The Beast." What do you think?<br />

Although we pride ourselves in offering <a href="http://www.wildwoodovens.com/store.php?content=ovensmain">several models of our high quality, easy-to-assemble wood-fired ove</a>ns, we knew some of you are looking for something you can simply drop into your kitchen or outdoor patio so you can get cooking right away. Our customers are our number one priority, so we heard your call and listened! These gorgeous copper ovens are ready to kick off your wood-fired culinary adventures NOW. Our products are a constant source of inspiration to us here at Wildwood and we've made some of our best Neapolitan pizzas in this oven...and that's only scratching the surface of what this beast can do.<br />

Do you buy most of your meat and produce from local farmers? We love the sustainability and support to local businesses that being a <a href="http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/dailydish/2009/02/feeding-your-lo.html">locavore</a> encourages, so we've done one better by growing our very own produce. I think a wise person once said, "You'll never taste anything as good as what you've grown yourself." We agree.<br />
<br />

Our garden is coming along so nicely and I wanted to share some pics with you. Feel free to link back to your garden- we love to share stories with our <a href="http://www.wildwoodovens.com/">Wildwood</a> community.<br />
<br />
Our <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasu">Japanese eggplant</a> are growing by the day. These "nasu" (that's eggplant in Japanese!) have only tiny, edible seeds and a skin much more tender than their larger counterparts. Once they're ready, we'll probably just slice them up, brush them with olive oil, sprinkle a bit of sea salt and freshly ground pepper and then sear them over a hot hibachi grill inside of our wood oven until they're tender. They'd also be fantastic slow roasted with a good smear of sweet, red miso paste. Who's getting hungry?<br />
<br />

</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> Pizza is widely regarded by many to be “the perfect food,” but not all pizzas are created equal. A paper-thin, wood-fired crust- chewy in some places, crisp in others- and fresh, seasonal toppings are signatures of Neapolitan-style pizzas, and we here at Wildwood are convinced they rank at the top of the pizza hierarchy. Don’t have a wood-fired oven in which to make your own? Join us for our “Wood-Fired Wednesdays” cooking classes and learn how to make perfect pizzas using our state-of-the-art, wood-fired ovens in our <a href="http://www.wildwoodovens.com/store.php?content=classesmain">Wildwood Test Kitchen</a>.</span></span></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>BBQ is a big part of what we do here at <a href="http://www.wildwoodovens.com/">Wildwood</a>, so of course we jumped at the chance to celebrate <a href="http://www.cdkitchen.com/recipes/articles/view/58/1/National-Brisket-Day.html">National Brisket Day</a> which was last Saturday. Not that we need a special occasion to eat meat of any kind, but it was nice to mark the holiday with a big, juicy brisket.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Beef brisket is a perfect cut of meat to braise, since it's loaded with connective tissue that has to be broken down in order for the meat to get nice and tender. It does have a nice, thick layer of fat on top so leaving a bit of that on will also help moisten the beef as it slowly cooks. <br />
<br />
See shiny layer of lovely fat.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-je-QF89_Bkc/TeVlUc7sPXI/AAAAAAAAAI4/Mj12cbER3N4/s1600/DSCN0713_144.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-je-QF89_Bkc/TeVlUc7sPXI/AAAAAAAAAI4/Mj12cbER3N4/s320/DSCN0713_144.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
After trimming a bit.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EgRVqhnsSY4/TeVmeewvkAI/AAAAAAAAAJE/kERvMKxd6RM/s1600/raw.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EgRVqhnsSY4/TeVmeewvkAI/AAAAAAAAAJE/kERvMKxd6RM/s320/raw.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<br />
After rubbing the meat with a dry rub (cumin, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, onion powder) and putting garlic in the fat pockets, we seared off the brisket on all sides and laid it on a bed of sliced onions, red bell peppers and red and green jalapenos:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-iJkteUL0-fw/TeVk9AgLYNI/AAAAAAAAAI0/1RaIpNoesf0/s1600/Seared.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-iJkteUL0-fw/TeVk9AgLYNI/AAAAAAAAAI0/1RaIpNoesf0/s320/Seared.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
The we poured in some heated beef stock into the pan, then let it go slow and low in a 180 degree oven for 12 hours:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lY01NikbBs8/TeVmGQ1ZsAI/AAAAAAAAAJA/Dd4LMkw6niU/s1600/liquid.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lY01NikbBs8/TeVmGQ1ZsAI/AAAAAAAAAJA/Dd4LMkw6niU/s320/liquid.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
Here's the finished product. Unfortunately we were so busy serving up this gorgeous piece of meat that we didn't get a chance to snap pics of a plate. Just take our word for it that it was melt-in-your-mouth tender and certainly did justice to National Brisket Day!!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dGJZ1M9MgVc/TeVluS-Y3tI/AAAAAAAAAI8/Zih9OcmEmQ0/s1600/Finished.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dGJZ1M9MgVc/TeVluS-Y3tI/AAAAAAAAAI8/Zih9OcmEmQ0/s320/Finished.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
This is a dish you can easily make at home- brisket is an inexpensive cut of meat, and you can use whatever spices you like to season the meat to suit your taste. Garlic powder, chili powder, ground coriander..it will all work. Play around with seasonings each time you make it and find the best combination for you- cooking should be about experimenting and making food your own! We love onions and peppers but if you'd like to use carrots, celery and onion that is a classic <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirepoix_(cuisine)">mirepoix</a>. You're not going to eat the vegetables- their purpose is to flavor all of the beautiful cooking liquid which, after the meat is done, you can strain, cool, then remove the fat from and use as gravy. <br />
<br />
Ok, are you hungry yet?! We are! We'll keep you posted on what else we have going on in our <a href="http://www.wildwoodovens.com/store.php?content=classesmain">Wildwood Test Kitchen</a>, and we'd love to hear about what you've been cooking up lately.

<span style="font-family: arial;">Hey guys,<br />
<br />
We have received several emails asking about the wood fired pizza process. So I figured this would be a perfect blogging opportunity to take our readers from start to finish through the perfect pizza process. Whewww, that's a lot of P's!<br />
<br />
Firstly, the dough is rolled out into a circular shape. We like a really thin crispy crust. Toppings of your choice are then applied. This is the creative and fun part- go crazy!<br />
</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JENLu5UvSH4/TAg8WpDYyRI/AAAAAAAAAFo/aXilyO3UHKQ/s1600/Picture+096.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JENLu5UvSH4/TAg8WpDYyRI/AAAAAAAAAFo/aXilyO3UHKQ/s320/Picture+096.jpg" /></a></div><br />
<span style="font-family: arial;"> Next the pizza is slid into the wood fired oven using a pizza peel, either an aluminum or wood peel works best for this process!<br />
<br />
</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JENLu5UvSH4/TAg5X-p81HI/AAAAAAAAAFY/robKEy0rDk0/s1600/Picture+099.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JENLu5UvSH4/TAg5X-p81HI/AAAAAAAAAFY/robKEy0rDk0/s320/Picture+099.jpg" /></a></div><br />
<span style="font-family: arial;">The pizza is then cooked to perfection! This doesn't take long...probably 2-3 mins. per pizza. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial;"> We like a little brown around the crust and crispy!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JENLu5UvSH4/TAg6fGyhofI/AAAAAAAAAFg/znhejCG3pFc/s1600/Picture+105.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JENLu5UvSH4/TAg6fGyhofI/AAAAAAAAAFg/znhejCG3pFc/s320/Picture+105.jpg" /></a></div><span style="font-family: arial;"> Voila!! Now is the time to enjoy your wood fired creation! Place the pizza on a serving tray or screen and cut into slices!</span><br />

<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Ok- now for the fun stuff. :) One of our favorite tried and true techniques, Salt Crust Cooking. We use this technique </span><span style="font-style: italic;font-family:arial;" >a lot</span><span style="font-family:arial;"> in the wood fired oven, and especially at parties. </span>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">This is a wonderful old technique that yields excellent results when cooking seafood. The concept is simple and easy, especially with a Wildwood wood fired oven. If you don't have our </span><a style="font-family: arial;" href="http://www.wildwoodovens.com/accessories/stonewareacc.php">Soapstone Cookware</a><span style="font-family:arial;"> yet this is your cue. We use the soapstone lasagna pan for this technique because of it's ability to retain heat. You'll only need a few items for this recipe: your chosen seafood, a box of Kosher salt, olive oil, herbs (thyme or oregano are both great); and a lemon. Head-on prawns, trout and lobster are all excellent seafood choices.</span>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">First, heat your oven to between 450-700 degrees. Meanwhile, place herbs and lemon slices inside your fish. The fish skin should be scaled and the gills an fins removed. Rub fish liberally with olive oil. Next you'll create the salt crust: first pour a thick layer of salt on the bottom of the cookware, then place the seafood inside, and lastly cover with a final layer of salt. Now that everything is ready, throw it in the oven!</span>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Different seafoods will cook at different times. As a rule of thumb- wait until the seafood has stopped steaming profusely. Prawns don't take very long to cook- about 9 minutes. A 1.5 lb. lobster takes about 1-14 minutes, and the fish will take about 14-20 minutes. After your fish is finished cooking, crack the salt layer and take your fish out. Carefully dust all remnants of salt off, and drizzle some extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice. The end result is seafood in its truest form, the taste is fresh from the ocean. </span>
<br /><span style="font-family: arial;">If you're looking for some carbs to go with your fish, we've had success pairing this rice dish with red snapper. Check it out, let us know what you think.</span>

I have received a few emails asking what the small "Foodista" photos are at the bottom of most of our recipes. They are links to a recipe website that we love- named Foodista. We have tried to pair our recipes with recipes from Foodista that we believe would be delicious together. Good idea huh?</span>Wildwood Ovenshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12492300386518841404noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7640813535310956285.post-24789877772309246062010-04-15T12:07:00.000-07:002010-04-15T12:35:03.009-07:00Wildwood Oven Roasted Salsa<span style="font-family: arial;">A Simple Summertime Favorite...<br /><br />Preheat Oven to 350-400 degrees Fahrenheit.<br /><br />Ingredients:<br /><br />12 Whole ripe Roma Tomatoes<br />2 Medium white onions quartered<br />4 Whole cloves of garlic (skin on)<br />5 Whole Jalapenos<br />1/4 Cup Olive Oil<br /><br />Directions:<br /><br />Place vegetables in a large bowl.
