That Interactive BBQ Party


Yeah, we joined another interactive bbq party from SWR3 on May Day. As entrée we had chicken satay with peanut sauce and arugula salad, then fish and shrimp soup (using fish broth and coconut milk as base), pork chop with pineapple-tomato salsa and baked potatoes as main course, then sweet calzone with chocolate and walnut sauce to round up.

The entrée was quite good, although the chicken and the peanut sauce were a bit too dry for my liking.

The soup was interesting. It should be cooked inside the pineapple 'shell' but we didn't manage that because it took too long for the 'shells' to get hot. So we pour the soup into a tin pan instead and placed it on the grill. Apparently we weren't the only ones who failed this quest. ^_^

The main course was delicious: pork chop filled with dried apricots mixed with chopped garlic, shallot and chilli; plus the pineapple-tomato salsa. *drools*

Dessert was okay, but I was already full by that time (especially since I had a big lunch that day) so I probably should give it another chance. ^_^
The sauce was really good though.

If you're interested, you can find the recipes here.

Hmm... I just found a really nice bbq blog, many new recipes to try for our next BBQ.
