Chicken, garlic, cumin, oregano and tanginess of lemon, softened with the sweetness and aroma of oranges… That’s what this dish is about – Cuban Mojo chicken!

Soy & Ouzo Chicken Wings – Middle East and Asian fusion
This is the 3-rd and final post of the “Holy Wings Trinity” series. Growing up in Israel, I’ve learned a lot about the Middle Eastern food, and how diverse it can get… On other hand, I’ve always appreciated the Asian cooking, so in this recipe I simply combined the two and created a marinade, which might seem a bit odd (and honestly, weirdly smelling one too!), but trust me, the wings come out so good you won’t be able to resist! The subtle anise flavour from ouzo is taking the wings to a totally different level!

Continuing the three recipes series I’ve started in this post, this one is so easy it’s hardly can be even considered as a recipe. Use of balsamic vinegar here brings those wings to a totally different level. Try it!
Continue readingSweet, Hot & Sticky Wings – perfect beer companion
Couple of days ago a good friend told me she & her partner are planning a beer and wings night, and asked if I have any good wings recipe. I immediately remembered three recipes which ended on my shortlist after quite a lot of experiments. This is the first post out of three, so stay tuned!
We start with the sweet, hot & sticky wings – very easy recipe, not too much work, and the outcome is absolutely mouthwatering!
Continue readingTurkey Pastrami – Asian style
Hi there!
I love experimenting with various tastes when I cook, and especially with Asian flavours. So here I’ve tried a very interesting combination in the glaze for this juicy and tasty turkey breast pastrami. What’s best about this recipe, besides it’s taste and aroma, is you don’t really need a grill or a smoker – it will taste fabulous roasted in the oven as well!
Continue reading“Johnnie Walker” brined chicken breasts
Do you remember the last time you’ve grilled chicken breasts? No? Oh don’t get worried, your memory is just fine! You are in a good company – many people simply avoid grilling chicken breasts. Why? Well, for one simple reason – it often comes out dry as a desert!
In a whole chicken the breast is the leanest part, very low fat, and when grilling it dries almost instantly. So, since shortening cooking time isn’t an option here (unlike beef, chicken must always be “well done” – that’s a food safety matter), another obvious idea is to “push” extra liquids into the meat. Yes, you may use an injector, and by all means, if you’re in a hurry, do use it, indeed! However, there is a much simpler and basic way – brining!
Continue readingLemon & herbs roasted hens
Hi there!
Very often my recipes are quite complex, but sometimes I like to go back to the “keep it simple” approach, and this is one of those times. Hens, simply halved, rubbed with olive oil and spices and grilled – quick score when you don’t want to get into complications.
Continue readingAussie lamb shanks, the Irish way
Hey there!
In my cooking I very often mix and match different styles, tastes and techniques, mainly because I love experimenting, but also because the results can be absolutely stunning. This is one of those adventures – Aussie lamb shanks, seasoned with a wonderful “Three Little Pigs Touch of Cherry” BBQ rub, one of the best commercially available rubs I’ve tried, and then roasted with a pint of Guinness stout (“The black stuff”, as they call it in Ireland).

Hi mates!
It’s been a long while, as I’ve been busy with my other projects, which I will be delighted to share with you quite soon. My wood workshop has been made fully operational and I am trying my luck as a hobbyist woodworker.
However, my barbie was not given any days off! So here is a quick and very easy to make pork fillet roll, grilled, needless to mention. And with some extra bacon reinforcement it really is a treat!
Grilled Tasmanian salmon
Grilling or smoking for me is by far the most preferred way to cook fish. There’s something utterly primal in the combination of fish and fire, since, mind you, this is just the way our great great ancestors used to cook it, right after pulling the fish out of the waters… The sea was the taste, the smoke was the spice and the fire was the soul.
Salmon is one of the most noble creatures of the sea and it deserves the noble and most traditional treatment – open fire!
