Cobb Meal - Chicken, Prawns, Naan Bread
Meant to post these pix last week....
Here's a meal I cooked on the Cobb on the Labor Day holiday. The Cobb's only got a 10" diameter cooking surface so you really have to plan things out. This meal used 8 briquettes. Started off with Naan Bread, which was entered in last week's Bread Throwdown. Kneaded green onions and cilantro into the dough, rolled thin, brushed with olive oil and fresh garlic, then onto a hot grill, about a minute per side. Chicken thighs were next. Finished up with prawn skewers. Here's our Labor Day dinner: grilled chicken, prawn skewers, naan bread, mango salsa, steamed broccoli & carrots, corn on the cob, basmati rice with roasted red peppers, 3-cheese salad, and a bottle of Migliori a home-brewed full-bodied red. Lately, I've been Q'ing on the Cobb as Humpty, my Kamado Claypot, is out of commission until the gasket gets replaced. ___________________ MayDay Kamado Claypot, Cobb |

Thanks BBS. I've seen your stuff. I think I remember a lovely table beach setting with white linens and greens around your chafer pan. You cook BIG! This was just for the two of us (plus leftovers).

Yep, prawns were great and the Naan was excellent! I luv garlic!!! I played with the thicknesses when rolling them out. Much prefer the Naan THIN - they're light and full of flavor. We ate quite a few on the spot as they came hot off the grill.

Nice spread. That bread, I'm intrigued by it. Is it a basic bread dough with the onions and cilantro? Or does something else need to be added to the dough to make it Naan?

Recipe - Garlic Naan Bread
Quote:
Ingredients (A). 1 package yeast (7 grams), 1/2 tsp sugar, 1/2 cup warm water (B). 2 tsp salt, 1 cup warm water, milk, yoghurt or other fluid (C). 3-4 cups flour (part wheat is ok) (D). 1/2 cup chopped green onions, 1/2 cup chopped cilantro, 3 Tablespoons grated fresh garlic (or see Cooking Step 1 below) (E). 1/2 cup olive oil, 2-3 Tablespoons sesame seeds or wild onion seeds (optional) Naan Bread Dough
Naan cooks very fast ~1 minute per side. Watch so it doesn't burn.
(*) Dough can be covered and refrigerated for several days. I found it easier to roll out the naan as I was cooking them. Rolling small golf balls of dough is much easier than rolling tennis balls. Pre-roll only as many naan as can fit at one time onto the grill or skillet, or as many as you can babysit at 1 time! I think a more traditional recipe only uses yoghurt as the leavening agent (no yeast) and doesn't bother with the herbs. The Naan is more authentic if baked in a tandoori oven! ___________________ MayDay Kamado Claypot, Cobb Last edited by MayDay; 09-09-2008 at 02:25 AM.. |
