Anyways, had a pretty sweet BBQ this weekend.... I accquired an outdoor Tandoor Oven recently so prepped a few delicious grilled things, which included....
Seekh Kebabs, Chicken Tikka, Barbecue Pork Belly.... Will try and get the photos from my friend up asap.

You lucky bastard. How does one aquire an outdoor tanoor over?

Build your own?

How does one aquire an outside area.

Anyone used this place before, prices look very reasonable.

Ahh - Well my mum had one for a while - then bought another one (made by Nipoori) so I just brought down the old one. It's a bit battered but amazing for Kebabs etc. Also roasted some Aubergine in there and made Baba Gahnoush. It gets so so hot in there - charred them up real nice.

First attempt at a low/slow cook on the Weber yesterday; kept a cheap bit of pork shoulder it going for 5 hours @ 120-130 C

Everything went better than expected, pulled pork a go-go

Tender pulled pork + fresh, soft bun + BBQ sauce =

Saw a fella cooking on TV, to recreate tandoori flavour he heated a piece of charcoal until it was smoking on the gas, then put it in a ramakin, put the ramakin in the middle of a pot with the meat around it, put a lid on then cook in the oven. Going to try this myself.

Yeah man - thats a really good technique - I make a smoked lamb and mint curry in a similar way - very traditional way of doing things in Pakistan.

Some photos of the BBQ

Food in here...

Seekh Kebabs
Watermelon, Feta and Wild Rocket salad with lots of Lemon and Black Pepper
Bulgar Wheat Salad with Mint, Coriander, Zereshk (dried Barberries), Flaked Almonds and Orange Juice.

There's also a photo of a Panzanella from last night in there. Nom.

My lunch just now was so fuckin' delicious! Salad - some homegrown greens, tomato tofu, carrot coins, broccoli (hate both raw, threw them in for worries they'll go bad after a week cut up in the fridge), green & black olives, few bits of feta, halved baby plum 'maters, dressing made of bragg's aminos, balsamic, flaxseed oil and red pepper flakes in white wine vinegar. YUM YUM!

Next planned knife purchase right there, man. Oh yes, it will be mine!

Its good! My particular Santoku is just a Robert Welch one, although it's still razor sharp thanks to a new steel i bought in December.

I really want to buy some knives from KIN - check em out - www.kinknives.com

I shall be getting this soon.

Meeting Mother CYOA at Warren Street this evening. Anywhere suggestions for decent, quick, lightish grub somewhere local?

Whats this thread about? Nutrition?

Why not read it and find out? Although I'd say it's more food appreciation...

Using a santoku on meat seems wrong somehow.

whys that? isn't a utility knife?

Whats this thread about? Nutrition?

Egos and sharp knives.

^you spelt eggs wrong

whys that? isn't a utility knife?

it's for soft stuff that sticks. I would like it for cutting raw meat, not cooked meat. I would also one day like a cheese knife with the holes in it.
