We're having chicken benchiladas.

No it's not a typo. I've sort of merged the recipes ( burritos and enchiladas ) without realising and that's what the Egg has christened the result ☺️

Cleaned out the bbq last night, I'm not too good at it compared to my stove... but practice will help. In saying that the lamb chops turned out great!

Bun Bo Nam Bo: South vietnamese style rice noodles with beef, peanuts, lettuce, basil and herbs

Lamb skewers on the bbq, new potatoes and chicken Korean from m&s

Black Sheep · 22-06-2022 08:43PM

Pulled shoulder of pork on the Big Green Egg. 125 degrees for about 11 hours. To internal temp of 90 degrees or so.

Made a Pitt Cue Co rub and applied it the night before.

Served it basted in a mother sauce made of shallots, Madeira, stock, trimmings and a mix of ketchup, mustard, apple juice, apple cider vinegar, molasses, Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce.

Buns, slaw and potato salad from the shop.

Looks great @mrmorgan, can I ask what is the ingredient from M&S, is it Korean chicken or just a Korean spice?

Looks phenomenal @Black Sheep!

(Psst... can you provide the name of the recipe book please? And could I manage this without a BBQ?)

Black Sheep · 22-06-2022 10:04PM

The book is the Pitt Cue Co recipe book. Really recommend it, great for mixed drinks, rubs, sauces and slaws as well as the “obvious” recipes for pulled pork and brisket.

You can absolutely make pulled pork in a conventional oven. You could replicate the rub, cook the pork low and slow, make the mother sauce like I did and baste the meat the same way.

What you wouldn’t get is the flavour effect of the smoke when using a smoker / BBQ set up. (Although actually after about 2 hours of smoking what is going to penetrate the surface is already in, after that there’s no change)

To be honest it would still taste really good, I would try it.

It’s a bit heretical to say this but there’s also liquid smoke you can buy that apparently yields pretty good results. Not my thing but apparently it’s not actually awful.

BBQ rib eye with new potatoes... not normally good at steak, but got this right

.. don't worry loads more to have ha

Dave_The_Sheep · 25-06-2022 07:19PM

Veggie pasta to use up some leftovers, lovely but asparagus pee is really awkward when you're recovering from surgery and can't properly wash your nether regions.

100% too much ragu to pasta ratio on the bolognese, but f*ck it the sauce is the nice part, right?

Been a while since I made sushi, not neat but hey..........gave it a lash.

Not too shabby, either!

I'd say I haven't made sushi in nearly 20 years.

On a roll......wait.....coat 😀

Looks fantastic. I've never even tried the "inside out rolls". They can't be easy to get neat!

Planet X · 26-06-2022 04:56PM

YouTube ......without it and the tutorials........

Just had to use up the leftovers from yesterday. Even a second attempt, you get the hang of it. Seemed easier today, teething problems yesterday. Yes, the rice on the outside is trickier but cling film is used to interface the bamboo mat. Game changer.

I must make it regularly now to keep the hand in. Needs to be garnished......all in the planning.

Mushroom risotto on Friday...

... and using the leftover risotto to make arancini on Saturday.

There is a recipe for pulled pork in the boards cooking club forum, made using a slow cooker instead of a bbq/smoker.

Dave_The_Sheep · 27-06-2022 09:43PM

Tarka dal. Split peas instead of lentils because I was apparently half asleep when making dinner. Very tasty all th same. Gonna be radioactive tomorrow mind.

Nothing wrong with Tuvar Dal Tadka! I make that often enough, I rather prefer it to the red lentil version, it's got a bit more texture. And your tadka is looking amazing!

Hah. I suppose I would have to change the name to reflect the split peas, wouldn't I! Yeah, there was definitely more of a texture to it. Will play around with lentils / split peas next few times I'm making it. Herself isn't too gone on this kind of meal, she's not a massive fan of pulses/beans really, which is a pity, because I love it.

igCorcaigh · 28-06-2022 08:41PM

Pork chop! Bit of a messy presentation..

leahyl · 29-06-2022 05:32PM

Tuna and chickpea curry - recipe was my own, just threw it together but it’s delicious!

Dave_The_Sheep · 29-06-2022 11:12PM

Few potatoes and a courgette to use up before they went off. Baked, courgette sauteed with garlic and onion, added some cream cheese and bacon.

Korean fried chicken and chips.

Unusual but delicious chips

Chicken thigh burgers. Marinated overnight in milk and lemon juice and garlic (had no buttermilk), followed by three step frying. Not something to be eaten every week, or even month, but I was well happy with the result.

Why yes, I may have been watching Kenji's YT during the week...

Planet X · 03-07-2022 02:17PM

Bao.

Pickled Veg and Pork.

(There's Pulled Pork in there somewhere 😀)

Spicy wraps with chipotle paste, king prawn, chicken, mushrooms, onions, packet Mexican rice topped halfway through with peanut chilli Rayu and mozzarella and cheddar done in air fryer. Was a late dinner so camera quality not great!
