Hi All,
I will be at this event on the 5th and 6th of July at Beaulieu in Hampshire. The hairy Bikers will also be there demonstrating cooking but not unfortunately with the Cobb. I hope though to meet them and get some photos.
All the best
Dave

3 Trout, about 400 g (13 oz) each
750 ml (3 cups) water
30 ml (2 tbl) salt
2 bay leaves, broken up
60 ml (1/4 cup) honey
1 lemon, sliced
A few sprigs fresh dill

Smoking Mixture
80 ml (3 tbl) smoking chips
3 ml (1/2 tsp) dried thyme
2 ml (1/2 tsp) black peppercorns
7 ml (1 ½ tsp) coriander seeds
15 ml (1 tbl) brown sugar
10 ml (2 tsp) rooibos tea
(bush tea)
To serve: wedges of lemon and Sour Cream Sauce


Rinse trout well and place in a suitable dish. Add water (the water should cover the trout), then add the salt, bay leaves and honey. Stand for 1 hour. Rinse trout and dry well. In fact, if time allows, stand on a rack and dry for 20 minutes. Arrange lemon slices and dill in the gut area and season with a little pepper. Cover smoking chips with water and stand for 15 minutes. Drain off water, add remaining ingredients and stir to combine. Prepare your Cobb, throw the smoking mixture into the fire and then fir the grill. Arrange fish on the grill and cover. Smoke for 7 minutes per side. Stand for at least 10 minutes before serving. Smoked trout may be served hot or cold. Serve with wedges of lemon and sour cream sauce.

Adding liquid to the moat is an option when roasting any type of meat or poultry. The liquid adds flavour and moisture to the meats. Stuffing ingredients may simply be combined and used, but you may prefer to fry the onion first.1 x 1.5 kg (3lb) chicken oil salt and freshly ground black pepper

250 ml (1 cup) water, wine or chicken stock (optional)

STUFFING
15 ml (1 tblsp) oil
1 medium onion, chopped
100 g (3 oz) mushrooms, chopped
20 ml (4 tsp) chopped parsley
5 ml (1 tsp) oregano
250 ml (1 cup) fresh white
breadcrumbs
1 egg
10 ml (2 tsp) soy sauce
salt and freshly ground black pepper

First make the stuffing. Heat oil, add onion and cook for a few minutes, then add the mushrooms. Stir to coat with the oil, then cover and cook for 5 minutes. Combine the remaining ingredients in a bowl and add in the onion mixture. Use to stuff the chicken. Rub the chicken with oil, then sprinkle with seasonings. Prepare your Cobb, and when it's ready, pour the liquid into the moat, fit the grill and heat covered for 2 minutes. Place chicken breast side down, cover and cook for 1 1/2 hours, turning after 50-60 minutes. Serve plain or with Mushroom Gravy
Serves 4-6

Variation
Simply rub the chicken with a mixture of 20 ml (4 tsp) Italian olive oil and 15 ml (1 tblsp) lemon juice, then sprinkle with salt and pepper or your favourite spice. Cook the chicken as above.
