Another challenge entry?

Man, there are so many types of foods/dishes in this thread that I've never heard of. Love it!

I tried a fancier coq au vin recipe last night, after prepping and marinating the chicken the night before.

I had never heard of "turned" mushrooms until I watched the video, so I found another video on it and gave it a try.

A while later, I had a bunch of bougie mushrooms.

Finished product.

Coq au vin is one of my favourites
Love the turned mushrooms, was that time consuming to do?

Maybe 45 to 60 seconds each. For special occasions, it's a nice touch.

I love coq au vin as well
And I love the remark about dishes tou don't know. I think thats what it is all about.
Different people, different likes, different dishes and then you go
"I want to try that"

Gone Hiking let me tell you about this Coq au Vin:
Recipe - Coq au Vin Blanc

WHOA!!!

 

[badjak]

Fire potatoes & sausage.
I was going to do some alu foil yard long beans, but decided I need a break from them.
So, just pork sausage (bought) and potatoes.
Picture is a bit out as I ate 3 potatoes and 1 sausage. All sausages are on the plate though, to dog-proof them.
While potatoes stayed near to the fire

I’ve tried doing that before - your effort turned out much better than mine. That’s all I’ll say about that.

Just adding some pics
Starting the potatoes, and going slow

Then the sausages when the taters are basically finished

Spontaneous braai?!! Wish it was warm enough for cookouts this way!

edited to add
Do you have a particular or usual wood preference?

Winter food yesterday
Borscht with red cabbage as well as beet/root - just before final simmer when the whole dish takes on the deep beet/root cabbage colour
