Doing the Kitchen

November 24th, 2011 posted by admin

One of the things that is brilliant about being a food writer is that your friends come to you to solve their most hideous problems. My sister in Woking just had a massive leak in her house and the ceiling above her kitchen began to crumble. Its a terrible time of year to start doing internet searches for plasterer surrey but she had no choice and turned to me to give her some advice on how to keep the holidays festive while her kitchen ceiling was being plastered and she got new dry wall put in. All I could think of was putting up some kind of field kitchen in her garden and trying her best to do a combination of autumn barbecues and camp fire baking.

While the plasterer was working on stilts, my sister borrowed a gas barbecue and got this gorgeous lunch going. Grilled Red Pepper and Feta Cheese Quesadillas

  • take the seeds out of two red peppers, brush generously with olive oil and lay on a hot barbecue while you prepare the other ingredients
  • In a large bowl mix 200 grams of feta cheese with 2 cloves of crushed garlic
  • add in a tin of chick peas, tuna, or crumbled cooked chicken
  • brush a large tortilla generously with olive oil
  • place a scoop of the mixture in the middle, place a cooked pepper over the top
  • fold in half and place on barbecue
  • cook on both sides until brown

The video above gives some really great advice on serious outdoor winter cooking. It highlights camping favourites like hobo stew, which use a gas camp stove instead of a barbecue. Barbecue pizza is one of my all time favourites, you just need a few hints:

  • Roll pizza dough out to 2 cm thick
  • brush with lots of olive oil
  • cook on one side until it changes colour
  • flip it over, brush on sauce and top with cheese
  • remove when its melted
