That’s an entrée. You can add fresh figs (quartered) and roquefort cheese.

Rest your meat when done,

When I cook meat all day on my weber, I still wrap it up and put it in the oven or esky to slowly come down to serving temperature.

Tastes so much better.

Might cook it for 7 or 8 hours and still rest it over an hour

Every year my Nan makes snow peas, mushrooms and water chestnuts with a garlic and soy dressing. Something so simple, but in my mind it’s not Christmas without it.

Those look absolutely perfect. I hope they’re as good as they look.

Softened up a bit in the faux chambro, but I crisped them up a bit before serving.

Epic lunch.

Thank you Blitzers for inspiring me to have a go … thanks to Nagi too. Best, most tender lamb we’ve ever eaten. 12 hours slow cook.

Something I’d never tried, but so simple. Green beans and zucchini sauteed in butter and garlic salt (and plenty of it). 2-3 mins. CB Jnr absolutely loved them.

Awesome. It’s always great to hear people step it up.

I’m usually really anxious about a long cook up. But shoulders are pretty bullet proof, and that recipe was super easy for a big reward.

14 hours is interesting. why so long? i bet it was really good, but imo its completely unnecessary to cook them for that long and at such a low temp. a lamb shoulder can easily be knocked out in a few hours at higher temps due to the fat content. i regularly cook shoulders at 300F and get amazing pulled lamb. Just a thought if you CBF waiting 14 hours

Well the recipe called for 12 and we had a fair bit more in the oven. If it’s first time with the recipe I’ll usually follow it and then make adjustments.

The beauty of this was that we could put it on and let it cook overnight. Throw it in the esky. And then the oven was able to be used for everything else.

But I can try the 300f next time

How good is leftover Xmas ham?

I picked up some free crays through work. Oven roasted some with a chimmichurri drizzle and the others were just with a bit of salt, pepper and vinegar.

Yum!
