Dinner thread?

[bunji]

Had a lay day from hunting , but a big day working at the Bach ,getting deer & goats into the Chiller,getting all the seafood sorted & packed into foam boxes on the floor of the chiller etc , us blokes spent the day getting the Smokers & Spits assembled for our 30th Anniversary bash on Friday night & setting up out door lights ,digging fire pit ,getting decent size wood for the Spits & BBQ etc & the boats all fueled up & Dive tanks etc double checked ,for the next couple of days Diving & hunting with the Jet Boats ,while the girls headed into town & got party supplies etc .

So did a easy set & forget cook up for all the crew ,Smoked Venison Rump in my old gas Smoker l will now leave at the Bach & took revenge on the Killer Occy l got attacked by on the dive the other day & did him on a slow simmer for 1 1/4 hrs in a large stock pot of water , on the gas BBQ Wok Burner.

Did him our favorite way for Occy ,our Kiwi version of Argentinian style, Pulpo a la Gallega, with good handful of Salt & Pepper to taste ,fresh Ginger & Chillie to taste ,4 cloves of garlic, sprig of oregano, 2 onions, chopped roughly,1 tablespoon of home made smoked paprika,1 tea spoon of normal paprika, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne,1 juiced lemon ,1/2 a Lime ,all just chucked in with him in the simmering water .

After its done, take it out let it cool & drain ,roughly cut up the meat, that is as tender as butter now (normal scissors will even do it) & toss in a dish with a good glug of olive oil & then do a QUICK sear on all sides on the BBQ grill,(charcoal is better) ,served tossed in with salad & some oriental noodles .The Occy stock left in the pot will be used as the base of the stock for the Argy Seafood Paella at the party .

That will teach the bugger trying to take a bit out of me,in over 30 yrs of diving he was the most aggressive Occy l have ever come across & he had obviously been living on Crayfish for a while, as it was bloody delicious with a distinct Cray flavor ,the stock will be ideal for Paella .

Smoked Venison Rump ,the Rump is perfect for this as it holds moisture so well

Will never forget eating "pulpo al carbon" BBQ octopus in Lima Peru, so soft so succulent so tasty.
