Bastard! I'm cryin' here now! To think I don't have a charcoal or wood smoker is bad enough but now you go and pull the wild game card. That's it...I've consulted my witch doctor and he has advised me to drink heavily....that is..after mrs. blues party.
A little theme music to go along with the competition.
I'm lovin this so far!!
Some of my ingredients for tonights Q'in
That wood at the bottom is Bay. That and Nectarine will be my smokin' wood.

That's a fine looking chicken you have there Chilliman. Nice entry too THP.
De-boned leg of lamb stuffed with sun dried tomato, olives, rosemary, greek fetta and lemon juice.
Into the marinade of greek yoghurt, garlic, rosemary, pepper, salt, lemon zest, lemon juice and fresh bay leaves.

It should have been a banana leaf - which is what came to mind now.
Would of worked for a BBQ too ...
Just imagine it on a banana leaf all pretty
Yeah, should have sectioned and plated, all we can see here is the chicken skin, not the chicken. In a smoking comp it's important to see the meat for the juiciness, smoke ring, etc. These comps are all about the pics and presentation since we can't taste it
.Sounds tasty though.

Man! Now talk about a teaser. I was drooling and waiting to click to page two of this thread to see how it turned out. Click... NOTHING! Where's the lamb dammit?
THP !! Your lions looks good and the ingredients you are using sound intriguing. I'll have to try and find some of them here. Paprika Pulp & Pomegranate Concentrate are the things I want to taste. I like your use of Za'atar. Did you make yours ? I liked the whole sesame seeds. With mine I ground them up and they want to become butter pretty fast. Like the whole seeds.
Chilliman .... your bird looks pretty good , but like others have said ..... needed to be plated. Also I'm not saying your ingredients are wrong if you like what you did. I think I'm a Jerk King ... a legend in my own mind I know ... but I'd NEVER use paprika. Simply not a common spice used by Yardies. And I'd use a lot of green onions. Don't mean to sound negative , I just see jerk a bit different. I'm sure you and your mates totally enjoyed the carnage. It would have been nice to test taste it ... to see if my "pure " Jerk thinking is all wrong.
Deathtosnails ...... Dang !! Now that looks really good !! Starting from the first photo...... Can't wait to see the money shots !!
Good luck to everyone !!
Peace,

[heads off to nearest middle eastern grocery store looking for canned paprika pulp]
Greek stuffed leg of lamb
Smoked over Bay and Nectarine for 3 1/2 hrs
Served with fresh baked bread and char grilled capsicum,birdseye chilli and oven roasted garlic sauce.
I'm quite proud of the fact that I could even manage to take a photo last night. I was slightly inebriated

And a nice photo at that. Even in focus.
Thanks man! Yeah, the Middle Eastern store rocks, visit one if you have one. I made everything except the Zaatar, I bought that there too! I'll give it a go sometime.P. Dreadie said:

We've got several in the area, that's where I go to buy halloumi cheese to make saganiki. Haven't seen this product before, going to have to look a bit closer for other pepper related items.
