Cook with Us #12 - Cooking with Fire - Chicken and Sausage

Our clients from Macedonia arrived and I thought this was a good opportunity to get to know them by firing up the coals and cooking a meal that they could enjoy - overlooking our beautiful view.

We were out of our traditional "Boerewors" - translated means Farmer's sausage so I made kofta instead which is like a meatball taste but it's actually a sausage - although on the packet it said kebab - which to me is a misrepresentation. It, however, did taste very nice on the barbecue

Chicken breasts were soaked in a basting of olive oil, lemon juice, origanum and dried mint - salt and pepper (very Greek)

Here is a photograph of the two girls from Macedonia, Aleksandra and Ivana, with my mother - on our patio

Served a great salad with it - using baby spinach leaves and rocket as the base and adding feta, olives, tomatoes and cucumber and some origanum

All in all it was a lovely evening and it was great getting to know the girls.

The food was pretty good too.

Need to start making some videos. Viewly has kindly donated some prizes to the cooking competition - so get your video's going - hopefully I'll give that a shot next time
