There are a few resources online nowadays that claim to have discovered (through a friend of a colleague of “a guy who knew how to get in the safe” etc) the secret of Colonel Sanders’ famous “eleven herbs and spices” recipe for KFC chicken. Here’s one… deep fried on my new “cowboy wok” !
“Trompoori Jarbecue” Chicken
… or “Trompo Tandoori made from a Jar and Barbecued” Chicken. This is a first spin of the Trompo King “Vertical Skewer” to make a kind of tandoori chicken. Hardly a “recipe” more of a test drive…but sometimes the quick and easy way is the right way to go.
“Trompo King” Upright Skewer
“Trompo” is Spanish for “spinning top” apparently. The reference to spinning could be because this provides a nice way to “vertically stack” meats as an alternative to a rotisserie. Or maybe it spins on the skewer when you turn it upside down ?
Motown Pizza
As I’ve discovered, especially since living in the USA, there’s more to pizza choices than just “thin crust or deep pan”. Detroit style is one of our favourites, and has a distinct texture and flavour….but needs love and attention (and the right cheese !) to make properly.
Chinese “pulled” Crispy Duck…no Duck and not Crispy
Long and slow recipe for when you have a slow cooker, some pork, a hankering for Chinese and a lot of time on your hands.
Pastrami, the Long Way Round
Pastrami is either Jewish barbecue or the world’s best sandwich meat, depending…
Siôn’s Over the Top (OTT) Chilli
Another Internet Hive Mind concept that does have some real benefit when smoking. The idea is that the meat mixture (a kind of mega-meatball) gets a chance to absorb some of that great smoke in the Kamado while the juices just pour into the veggies beneath…
“Tacos al Past-o-roti” – Mexican kebabs !
Give this sliced pork shoulder recipe a “spin”. Made with base ingredients in this case – but there are shop-bought cheats available depending on what part of the world you live in.
Leg of Lamb Med mashup
Possibly over-fussy lamb recipe with a mish-mash of favourite flavours, grilled “Greek style” on the KJ.
Figgy Caprese
The simplest of dishes, made wonderful when the ingredients are the best you can get hold of. In this case, market sourced and artisan made. Delicious.
