Bongo Fury

I was contemplating starting a series of “Bored with Barbecues” threads but thought slightly better of it. This is a quick interim thought after the lovely weekend we’ve had. Yesterday evening I was sat with a glass (or two) of vino, supervising Jr rustling up this little lot....


Four chicken breasts, sliced....


....two chorizo, two onions & five cloves of garlic........


....400g haddock, 1kg rice, 4 pints stock....


....plenty of mussels & a kilogram of prawns....


....and a nice setting sun & cooling evening to enjoy a change from a barbecue

Now, even we can’t tuck that lot away in a single sitting, so what to do with that leftover paella?

The kids have taken some to school to eat cold, they’ll no doubt freak their mates out when they open their lunch boxes.

I could have mine cold. I could bung it in the microwave but that would be sacrilege.


Why not just stick a flame under it and zap it in the Bongo....


....and have something healthy to eat for a change

Flipin eck! that gave me a fright....I thought it was Friday afternoon already, and i had somehow lost 4 1/2 days

Me too!

Muz - you should have your own TV show.......

All the chefs are doing cooking shows whilst travelling - you could do cooking whilst Bongoing

The prospect of someone paying me to cook stuff in exotic places does appeal - where do I apply?

Bored with hearing about butties phase 20

Muz could do a TV show..cooking dishes from where he visits........touring the UK first then off to Europe....a country at a time.....mind you there would be need for a support crew..... where do I sign up...

Me too! Then I wondered if I'd lost a whole week and today was a Bank Holiday Monday

Spit roast pig? Whole roast sheep in the wood oven? You're someone else who obviously has a bigger Bongo than I do, Helen

Hi Alison
The clue's in the wording...."drop in and cook"
Anyway, we quite often used to do a pig roast when camping...local butchers can supply a pig quite often, or take one ready...we always did a "grower" pig...not a suckling pig...the roasting spit doesn't take any room at all, and the sort of places we went camping, the owners never minded us digging a fire pit.....
Nothing better in life than camping with friends, roasting a pig, sitting round the fire, music, alcohol (usually cider).....and plenty of laughter
Best medicine in the world!
Cheers
Helen
