Bob's Red Mill: Whats the first thing you ever learned to cook on your own, and how has that dish impacted your life in the kitchen? Matt Moore: Scrambled eggs. It's still my obsession, especially when done in the French manner. A nob of butter, low and slow, constant stirring until creamy and delicious. BRM: Whats your favorite food memory? MM: Rolling grape leaves and frying chicken with my grandmother. The perfect combo of my Lebanese and Southern heritage. The South's Best ButtsBRM: Name a dish everyone should learn to make, and why. MM: A butt, of course! Seriously though. The pork butt (shoulder) is one of the most forgiving, diverse cuts that keeps on giving. BRM: If you could only take one dish to every social event for the rest of your life, what would it be and why? MM: Wine. Oh wait, you meant food, right?! I put together one heck of a redneck antipastasmoked sausage, cheese, pickled okra, saltines, and whatever else I have jarred up from savoring the season. BRM: Whats the one kitchen rule you swear by? MM: Two things. Clean while you cookI detest a messy kitchen. Also, your meal will only be as good as your ingredients. BBQ POT PIE BRM: If you could only grab for one Bobs Red Mill product, what would it be and why. MM: Grits! Of course, the kind that stick to your ribsgreat in the morning in a scrambleor dressed up in the evening with grilled fish and wine. Our thanks to Matt for sharing his thoughtsand recipewith us!
