Re: Graham's Grub

Sunday March 9th, we had a pizza night.....

First we made some corn bread - followed recipe in "WFO recipes". Pizza oven was 200c.



Then we re-fired the WFO, got the temp up to 400C, whilst getting the temperature up we cooked the sausage balls and bacon.

We then cooked the garlic bread.




Bacon, Brie and Cumberland sauce pizza.



Caesar Chicken pizza.

Pieces of chicken, added to the pizza, and covered in cheese then cooked, add the lettuce and sauce before serving.



Part 1.

Re: Graham's Grub

Quite a production, all low cal I presume. Someone said on this forum said "never trust a skinny chef".

Re: Graham's Grub

Russell,

As low cal as a pizza can be My wife is in-charge of the ingredients.

Skinny chefs and fat roosters are seldom much good!

Re: Graham's Grub

I forgot, I coated a lamb shank with some BBQ rub I had in, cooked it between getting the WFO up to temp for the pizzas and had it for lunch. Cooked at 230C for 25 minutes, could have done with 40 mins but was lovely

Re: Graham's Grub

Today after a good morning of rugby, we put some Turkey legs in the WFO, one was coated in a BBQ dry rub and the other was in Olive Oil and salt & pepper.



Then we started making dinner, my wife did the hard work and we just put it in the WFO.

We have Chorizo in red wine, sliced and cooked for 20 minutes being covered with foil, then remove the foil for the last 10 minutes.




Chicken wings, 1 batch in BBQ rub and 1 batch in salt & pepper rub. Put the rub on and put them in a baking tray and then into the oven.



The table:

Re: Graham's Grub

We used the "brick" yesterday, the result was awesome!

We had been told to soak the brick for 30 minutes in cold water, so we did, while it was soaking I set the fire up inside the WFO, ready to go - the brick should go in an unlite oven and heat up gradually.



My better half prepared the veggies perfectly (as always.) The veggies were:
leeks, parsnips, celeriac, carrots, red onion and garlic. All thickly sliced. Half put into the base of the brick, then the chicken was put into the brick and a lemon in quarters inserted into the chicken cavity with some Thyme.



Half a bottle of white wine added (probably too much...) anyway the lid was put on and taken to the WFO. Put in on the right facing the fire on the opposite side. Then lit the fire.

When it got to 210C I stopped putting wood on the fire! And I closed the door to retain the heat. Put the balance of the veggies into a foil tray and put them in the WFO to cook after 30 minutes - giving the chicken a head start.

Cooked the chicken for 90 minutes at 200C and tested to make sure it was cooked, juices ran clear.



Then we removed the lid and the smell was fantastic!



Put the veggies into the lid and put them back into the WFO to cook/dry out!

Re: Graham's Grub

Trimmed the chicken and put it on the plates with the cooked veggies.



The table ready for hungry people.



Finished off with a mirengue nest with peaches, vanilla ice cream and a cumquat.



The stock we kept and made a vegetable soup tonight for dinner.

Re: Graham's Grub

Good Friday Pizza!

We created: Pineapple, mushroom and onion, my wife's favorite!
Before it went into the WFO.



When it was cooked.



Then we tried a Blue Cheese, Pear and Walnut pizza - AMAZING!

Put the tomato base on, put the slices of pear on then crumbled the cheese around the pizza. The taste was amazing, getting tangy blue cheese, with the sweetness of the pear and bite of the walnut.

Before...



After...

Re: Graham's Grub

Last night (Sunday 18th May 14) we had pizza.



The above pizza is Pineapple, mushroom and red onion and not forgetting garlic bread.



Above pizza is a split pizza, half was Peperoni and the other half Chicken Ceasar.



Pizza above is mine - half Feta cheese with black olives and the other half is BBQ chicken with Louisiana Hot Sauce!

*Used cooked chicken from the supermarket, shredded some chicken and mixed BBQ sauce in with it and spread on base and then cooked it, then put the hot sauce on the pizza when ready to serve.



Finished off with a nice bottle of red wine.

Re: Graham's Grub

You are quite a WFO foodie....I just moved my wood pile and sorted out the woods that need drying and those ready to use so I am good to start cooking. My wife would like that pear blue cheese pie very much.

Re: Graham's Grub

Good looking tasty food there.

Re: Graham's Grub

The pear and blue cheese pizza was my wife's suggestion, and I am glad I tried it. The sweetness of the pear matched the tang of the cheese-delicious.
