What do you add to your boil?

Posted on 2/18/16 at 8:58 am
I am talking about sides, and not your seasoning. Boiling this weekend, would like to throw in something different in the last batch. Sorry if this has been talked about ad nauseum, but, really, Im not sorry.
Normally, I stick with lemons, garlic, potatos, corn, mushrooms, and onions. I have a buddy that likes sausage (I am not a big fan of it) but I throw some in for him normally. I have done an artichoke as well.
So what do you add?

Brussels sprouts are good, though they can come apart if overcooked. Those little salad carrots are good.

I have a two burner/pot set up, one 100qt. and one 30qt. I have it timed where they both are done at the same time.
In the smaller sides pot I throw in garlic, onions, potatoes, lemons and corn. I too am not a fan of sausage but occasionally someone will bring some over so I throw it in.
We also make a side called onion salad with chopped raw white onions, dill pickle and mayo. spread it on white bread for a fold over.

I like to throw some boudin in sometimes. Normally wait and put it in late because if you put it in too early it will fall apart

oysters are a good little appetizer to grill up while you are waiting for the boil to finish

I've thrown in Mickey brown tamales, not in the water, but in the ice chest after the soak is done. Also green beans are good. Tear off the label, poke a few holes in the can and toss in with your other veggies
I thought I was the only person who did this. Best method IMO

Now I have a Venable pot that will cook two sacks and still do the sides in my 30qt. pot.

Artichokes, Brussel Sprouts and carrots. These are big winners every time.
Oh the carrots! Those have become my favorite

It's what got me to like brussels. My dad put them in years ago, and they were killer. Make sure to do it at the end or else they will get way too soft

Lemons
Onions
Garlic
Potatoes
*Corn - Cook this in a separate pot to prevent being over spicy
Mushrooms
*Cauliflower - Just don't cook it too long, but it soaks up the seasoning very well.

When do you put the carrots in? During the soak would be my guess
Posted on 2/18/16 at 10:52 am to Fonzarelli
I had broccoli and cauliflower at the last boil I went to and it was great.
Posted on 2/18/16 at 11:15 am to Napoleon
broccoli and cauliflower are great. they get pretty spicy.
I never tried baby carrots but i will this year.

Whole cans of artichoke hearts. Bigger the better.

Do you also put garlic, onion and lemon is the bigger pot?
