RECIPES GREEK LEMON POTATOES 4-6 potatoes 100 grams or butter or 2-3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil Juice of half a lemon Half a chicken stock cube, crumbled (optional) Salt and freshly ground pepper Peel and cut potatoes into large cubes approximately 25mm in diameter. Place inside oven bag along with butter or olive oil, lemon juice and stock cube. Add a little salt and pepper to taste. Close bag with twist tie, puncture bag with a small knife in 2 or 3 places and place in your barbecue on the hot plate OR on a baking tray if using the grill. Cook on LOW to MEDIUM for approximately 30 minutes, giving the bag a shake (moving potatoes around) half way through cooking. THAI STYLE WHOLE FISH 2 cloves of garlic, crushed 1 tablespoon fish sauce 2 tablespoons lemon or lime juice 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger 2 tablespoons sweet chilli sauce 2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar 1 kg (2lb) whole snapper, coral trout, sweet lip or fish to your liking 2 spring onions, cut into julienne strips Preheat the barbecue on LOW to MEDIUM. Place the garlic, fish sauce, lemon or lime juice, ginger, chilli sauce, coriander and rice wine vinegar in a jug and mix well. Place the whole fish on a large double or tripled over piece of well greased foil . Pour the marinade over the fish and sprinkle with spring onion. Wrap the fish into a parcel and cook for approximately 20-30 minutes or until flesh flakes easily when tested. Serve immediately with steamed rice or salad. BAKED MUD CRAB A LA PAT HALLAM After cooking a mud crab in this manner, you will never boil a crab ever again. By cooking in an oven bag, you retain all the flavour and moisture. 1 cleaned fresh mud crab cut down the middle, legs separated and claws cracked. 2 to 4 tablespoons of olive oil or you can use butter or margarine if you wish. Flavouring of your choice i.e. Garlic, chilli, coriander etc. We personally use 1 or 2 tablespoons of “Asia At Home” brand Coriander, Garlic and Sesame” or “Chilli and Basil” flavouring paste. Place all of the above into an oven bag and try to coat the crab all over with the marinade. Seal with a twist tie, puncture bag in 2 to 3 places with a small knife and place on a small baking tray either on top of the grill or hot plate. Cook on LOW to MEDIUM for approximately 20-30 minutes, or until crab changes colour and looks cooked. Serve with fresh crusty bread to soak up juices. ROAST SEASONED CHICKEN. 1 x 1.5 to 1.8kg fresh chicken 1 cup of fresh breadcrumbs 1 small onion, finely diced 3 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs i.e. Tarragon, marjoram, lemon thyme etc. ¼ cup of pine nuts (can be omitted) 1 tablespoon melted butter Chicken stock or water for binding seasoning ingredients Place the above seasoning ingredients in a bowl and bind together with chicken stock or water until you get a damp but not to soggy consistency. Stuff the chicken and place on top of the roasting rack. Place roasting rack either on a baking tray and place on your grill or directly on hot plate, OR place roasting rack directly on your grill if you have the smoker plate accessory. Place inside COLD barbecue and turn barbecue onto LOW and roast chicken for approximately 1½ to 2 hours (depending on size of chicken) or until browned all over and juices run clear when checked with a skewer. Let chicken stand for 5 to 10 minutes then carve and serve with vegetables or salad. For added flavour, place a small lemon or lime in the cavity of the chicken before stuffing with seasoning, this gives the chicken a lovely lemon or lime flavour and keeps the chicken flesh really moist. NB. If you do not have a baking tray, you can make one out of 2 or 3 pieces of aluminium foil which has had the sides rolled or turned up to form a leak proof ‘baking tray’. Simply discard when finished cooking. GREEK STYLE ROAST LEG OF LAMB 1 boned leg of lamb ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon chopped parsley 1 tablespoon chopped rosemary Juice of one lemon along with 1 or tablespoons lemon rind Finely sliced red onion Salt and pepper to taste Mix the marinade ingredients in a glass or stainless steel dish and place boned leg of lamb into marinade. Baste and marinate for approximately 2 hours or overnight in your refrigerator. Place on roasting rack on top of your grill with smoker plate accessory. Cook on LOW for approximately ¾ hour depending on size of leg of lamb until nicely browned all over and juices run clear when tested with a skewer. Rest lamb for 5 to 10 minutes before carving, serve with Greek style potatoes and salad. NB. If you do not have the smoker plate accessory, follow hints as for Roast Seasoned Chicken. ROAST LOIN OF PORK 1 rolled loin of pork Juice of one lemon or vinegar (balsamic is tasty) Finely chopped lemon thyme, caraway seeds and finely chopped marjoram Salt and pepper to taste.
