After cooking with the residents of the Nell Lane Estate for over two years, we
returned on Tuesday night to host an end of season celebratory event
and to have a good old catch-up and see what they had been cooking since
we were last there.
In
hindsight, a BBQ wasn't the best of ideas in light of our horrendous
'summer', but we were kind of banking on a balmy September evening... so
after the rain and hail died down, we donned our coats and with true
British spirit set up our gazebo and portable gas cookers and got on
with it.
It
was lovely to see some familiar faces turn up and soon everyone was engrossed in marinating the belly pork which Sarah, our cook, had sourced
locally. Lashings of fresh lemon and the pungent smell of oregano was soon
hanging in the air and making people's tastebuds tingle. Once the griddle
was hot, everyone quickly got busy skewering the pork and sizzling the kebabs on
the makeshift barby!
While
the meat cooked, Sarah showed us how to make a delicious yoghurt and
mint tzatziki to complement the kebabs, and the kids got stuck in with
grating the beetroot and carrots to make a super-healthy, mega-tasty
salad… wow, what a feast.
Everyone agreed the kebabs were wonderful and, despite the chill in the air, we all enjoyed the experience of eating outside.
