As I’ve not posted in a little while, how about a catch up with some Smash burgers, Sosij, Lamb & Chicken.
First up, a new toy arrived, an Onlyfire, ceramic, plancha.
My main thought with this is to make smash burgers, and what better way to start is by making Wagyu Smash burgers!
I got my Wagyu mince from John Davidsons, they don’t always have this in stock so can’t make a direct link to it, but I was able to make 10 patties from the pack.
I should have made less patties and made them a little thicker I think.
I didn’t add anything to them, I wanted just the flavour of the meat on this one.
They were far more juicy than I was expecting but damn were they incredible.
With different people choosing different cheese options to go with the double burgers, they were truly delightful.
And I also cooked up some Bacon, Halloumi & Guava Jam Sosij. Sosij make some amazing sausages, all done in small batches so if they are sold out, try again another time. I had their Texas Hot Links recently and I will certainly buy them again.
Really flavourful, juicy, great snap, sausages.
We had these with the burgers as well.
Next up, I had 2 racks of lamb. I’ve wanted to try cooking up a frenched rack as it’s somewhat different to cooking a leg or a shoulder.
I covered these with Tubby Toms Garlic Infused Smoked Rapeseed oil, then added some Angus & Oink Honey Chilli rub and topped it off with some Angus & Oink X Altons BBQ World Proper Mint rub.
They really don’t take long to cook, which is lovely as while the veg was finishing they had a little rest. They were not rare, or even medium, they were medium well unfortunately but I know to cook them to a lower temp next time.
Finally, we wanted another quick and simple dinner so I grabbed out the rotisserie arm and some chickens.
2 chickens, 2 rubs
I added the rubs to butter for each chicken. Half a block of butter per chicken.
The rubs
Angus & Oinks Winner Winner Chicken Dinner and Tubby Toms Garlic Butter Rub.
The butter really helps to keep the chicken moist, yes I said moist.
I don’t think I used anywhere near enough rub though as neither had much flavour at all other than chicken (more on that thought in another post soon), but they were still great to eat but I under estimated the cooking time. I thought around 45mins, took nearly 1.5hours so I need to watch this as Mrs SParky cooks the side dishes and we don’t want those getting cold.
I’ve cooked a couple of other things (hot dogs and bacon wrapped chicken strips) as well but not really worth posting about.
We’ve also been to a few events so apologies for the gaps in posting.
But there you have it, Burgers, Sosij, Lamb & Chicken
