Making #nachos (again) for movie night (again). Chook thighs, capsicum, onion & carrot (all chopped), olive oil, and herbs & spices are smoking away in the #PelletGrill now. I can't believe I left out the garlic -- I'd better remedy that ASAP...
Seven days later, and Kid #1 & a friend are coming around for dinner tonight. I popped the pork in the #PelletGrill, and set the thermostat to 135C. That was at 1100hrs this morning. 6-ish hours later, this is how it looks:

I ended up getting a lump of pork scotch (neck muscles?) because it was cheap, and it's what they had in stock. I thinned about ½ a cup of the marinade with about another ~¼ cup of fish sauce, and used the resultant liquid to inject into the meat. I've placed the lot into a sealed container, which is in the fridge.

Now we wait...

#MeatToots #PelletGrill

I've been out in the garden to see which produce is ready to be picked. Turns out some of the blood plums on one of the trees are squishy-ripe, so I picked a bunch of those, as a colourful, sweet basis for my #BBQPork marinade. It goes a little something like this:

✅ 6 ripe blood plums (pitted)
✅ ½ fermented lime (4 chunks)
✅ 2 Tbsp fish sauce
✅ 6 cloves fermented garlic (crushed)
✅ 3 dried, fermented blood plums (chopped)
✅ 1 tsp chilli flakes
✅ 1 tsp Chinese five spice

#fermenting #GardeningAU #GrowYourOwn #PelletGrill

I've got a few days off this week, and I am owed a handful of significant portions of remuneration. To celebrate, I'm going to marinade a lump of pork belly for #PelletGrill #smoked banh mi meat.

I'm pleased to report that both my #GreenHam and roast chicken were properly cooked, flavoursome & juicy as fuck.

#PelletGrill #Xmas

Apologies for the delay: shit got hectic yesterday afternoon/evening...

Please find attached pics of the finished #GreenHam. It was in the #PelletGrill for 6 hours, then rested under foil for another 1½ hours. It was by far the juiciest pork I have ever cooked.

Ham & cheese toastie for breakfast, it seems...
