COBB Roast Leg of Lamb

Gallery

Ingredients

  • 2kg Boneless Lamb Leg Roast
  • Salt & Pepper
  • 2 Tbsp fresh Rosemary
  • 2 Cloves Garlic
  • 10-15 small Potatoes – peeled

Marinade

  • 1 Cup Oil
  • ½ Cup Soy Sauce
  • 1 Cup dry Red Wine
  • 4 Cloves Garlic – crushed
  • Small handful of fresh Rosemary
  • ½ tsp Salt and Pepper

Method

Mix all the ingredients for the marinade and blend well, either in a blender or whisk together.

Use a pestle and mortar to squash the rosemary and salt, then add the garlic and crush together with the Rosemary.

Make small incisions in the lamb roast and push the herb mixture into these gaps.

Place the meat into a shallow dish, pour over the marinade and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, turning several times.

Prepare your COBB Cooker and light the Cobblestone.

Once the Cobblestone is grey in colour arrange 10-15 small potatoes around the moat, sprinkle with salt and rosemary (the drippings off the roast will create very delicious roast potatoes)

Fit the grill grid and roast rack onto the Cobb and place the marinated Lamb on the Roast Rack and cover with the hood lid.  Leave to roast and try to not lift the lid too often, as this will lengthen the cooking time.

After an hour or more, using a COBB probe thermometer or a digital thermometer, check the internal temperature until it has reached your desired doneness.  Replace the dome lid quickly so it doesn’t slow the cooking down too much.
Medium Rare is between 55-60ºC,  and Medium is between 60-65ºC

Cover and rest for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Remove the potatoes from the moat and place into a serving dish.

Enjoy!

Using the Lifting Fork, place the Fry pan on the hot COBB.  For extra smoky flavour place a Bradley Smoker wood bisquette, or a water soaked wood chunk on the hot Cobblestone.  Cover with the dome lid and cook for about 20-25 minutes, until the tops are golden.  Remove Fry pan using the Lifting Fork.

Arrange Rocket on a platter and serve with the mushrooms on top.

COBB Chicken Cutlets with Vegetables in Dill Cream Sauce

Gallery

INGREDIENTS 

  • 3 Chicken Breasts (boneless and skinless)
  • 3 Tbsp Cooking Oil
  • 1½ Cups Panko Bread Crumbs
  • 4 Cups Broccoli (separated into florets)
  • 1 Red Capsicum (cored and sliced)
  • 1 Orange or Yellow Capsicum (cored and sliced)
  • 2 Cups Mushrooms (halved)
  • ½ Cup Water
  • 3 Tbsp Butter
  • 3 Tbsp Flour
  • 3 Cups Buttermilk (or substitute with ¾ Cup of Milk mixed in with 2¼ Cups plain Yoghurt)
  • ½ Cup Parmesan Cheese grated
  • 1 Tbsp dried Dill (or about 3 Tbsp fresh Dill)
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1 packet of your favourite Pasta (cooked according to directions on package)

 

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Set up your COBB and light a CobbleStone. Wait a few minutes until it has turned grey.  Or, if you don’t have a CobbleStone on hand, ready your BBQ briquettes in the COBB’s fire grid.
  2. Place a chicken breast on a cutting board. Rest your one hand on the top of the chicken breast. Use a long sharp knife to slice the chicken breast in half so you have two thinner cutlets of chicken. Place a piece of plastic wrap over one chicken cutlet and pound it so that it is an even thickness. Flatten the other cutlet the same way. Do this with the remaining chicken breasts.
  3. Dredge the chicken cutlets in panko bread crumbs.
  4. Heat oil in the COBB Frying Dish/Wok over medium heat (place on top of Roast Rack to cook at a lower temperature). Place the breaded chicken cutlets in the frying dish and fry until cooked through, flipping hallway. Since these cutlets are thinner than a whole chicken breast, it will take less time to cook through, usually around 8-10 minutes. Depending on the size of the skillet, all the cutlets might not fit, so you may need to cook them in batches.
  5. Remove the chicken cutlets from the frying dish, for now, and place on a plate. Add the vegetables to the frying dish and pour in the water. Cover with the hood lid and allow the vegetables to steam. Check every once in a while and stir so they do not stick or burn on the bottom of the frying dish. Continue to cook until the broccoli is tender, probably around 6-7 minutes.
  6. Remove the vegetables, for now, from the frying dish and place in a large bowl. Melt the butter in the frying dish and whisk in the flour to create a roux. Remove from the COBB and slowly whisk in the buttermilk, parmesan cheese, dill, salt and pepper. Return frying dish to the roast rack and let simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring slowly.
  7. Add the vegetables and chicken back to the frying dish and gently stir to coat in the sauce.
  8. Serve over your favourite cooked pasta

  2. In a large bowl, combine beef, pork, onion, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, tomato paste, egg and salt until well blended. Press into the bottom of a lightly greased pie dish, forming a crust. Place pie dish on the roast rack and replace dome lid.  Cook for 25-30 mins (or until cooked).
  3. Meanwhile, place the potatoes in a large sauce pot. Cover them with cold water and season with salt. Bring to a boil then simmer, uncovered, for about 10 to 12 minutes.

COBB Garlic Mushroom Stuffed Chicken Breast

Ingredients

  • Mushrooms:
  • 4 Tbsp Butter
  • 250 grams Mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh Parsley chopped
  • Salt and Pepper, to taste

 

Chicken:

  • 4 Chicken Breasts, skinless and boneless
  • Salt and Pepper, to season
  • 1 tsp Onion powder
  • 1 tsp dried Parsley
  • 8 slices Mozzarella or Edam/Colby cheese
  • ¼ Cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese

 

Garlic Parmesan Cream Sauce:

  • 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 2 large cloves Garlic minced or finely chopped
  • 1 Tbsp Dijon Mustard
  • ¾ Cup Milk mixed with ¾ Cup Cream (half and half), or use reduced fat cream or evaporated milk
  • ½ Cup finely grated fresh Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper, to your tastes
  • ½ tsp Cornflour mixed with 2 tsp of water (to thicken the sauce)
  • 2 Tbsp fresh chopped Parsley

Instructions

Chicken:

  1. Set up the COBB and light your Cobblestone or BBQ Charcoal
  2. Melt butter in the Cobb Frying Dish/Wok placed on top of the Grillplate (this enables a slightly lower cooking temperature). Add garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute). Add in mushrooms, salt and pepper (to your tastes), and parsley. Cook while stirring occasionally until soft. Set aside and allow to cool while preparing your chicken.
  3. Pat breasts dry with a paper towel. Season with salt, pepper, onion powder and dried parsley. Rub each piece to evenly coat in seasoning.
  4. Horizontally slice a slit through the thickest part of each breast to form a pocket. Place 2 slices of cheese into each breast pocket.
  5. Divide the mushroom mixture into four equal portions and fill each breast with the mushroom mixture (leave the juices in the pan for later. If there are any left over mushrooms, don’t worry. You’ll use them later). Top the mushroom mixture with 1 tablespoon of parmesan cheese per breast. Seal with two or three toothpicks near the opening to keep the mushrooms inside while cooking.
  6. Heat the COBB Frying Dish the mushrooms were in along with the pan juices (the garlic butter will start to brown and take on a ‘nutty’ flavour). Add the chicken and sear until golden. Flip and sear on the other side until golden. Cover pan with the Hood Lid and continue cooking for a further 20 minutes, or until completely cooked through the middle and no longer pink (74C degrees).
  7. Serve, with pan juices and any remaining mushrooms, on top of pasta, rice or steamed vegetables.
  8. To make the optional cream sauce, transfer chicken to a warm plate, keeping all juices in the pan.

 

Sauce:

  1. Fry the garlic in the leftover pan juices until fragrant (about 1 minute). Lift the Frying Dish and place the Roast Rack on the grill plate, and sit the Frying Dish on top. (This allows you to cook at a reduced heat.)  Add the mustard and half and half (or cream).
  2. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and add in any remaining mushrooms and parmesan cheese. Allow the sauce to simmer until the parmesan cheese has melted slightly. (If the sauce is too runny for your liking, add the cornflour/water mixture into the centre of the pan and mix through fast to combine into the sauce. It will begin to thicken immediately).
  3. Season with a little salt and pepper to your taste. Add in the parsley and the chicken back into the pan to serve.
