Campdog,

Pretty sure that that was one I saw too. Alex Julius was doing the cook up.

I'll have to have a look. Pretty sure I kept a copy of that series, somewhere.....

Hi Campdog and Scorcher,
If you Google Alex Julius/Recipes, you'll get to where you can buy the series. A minute ago, it was the top line. Series 3 has recipes if you've got that one Scorcher.
Cheers,

As a chef Campdog, i can tell you that there is many variations to the recipe you talk about. I have a few in my books, if you are interested, i can forward a couple onto you.

Wild turkey can be used as a marinade (with other ingresdiants of course) as well as flambouying. Be carefull with the ginger as well as it not generally an ingredient you associate with seafood as it doesnt take much to over power the natural flavour. I have used it in the past with seafood and have (i thought anyway) used it with great success.

While this isn't necessarily the one you're looking for Campdog, it got my interest.
Also, may take a bit of effort to do in the bush, but could be worth it.
You'd prepare the sauces etc before leaving home.
Sounds interesting though, will give it a go one weekend.

BTW, it's from America, replace the "20 each Ocean <ST1:pGarden</ST1:p U/10 Mexican Shrimp" with 40 green king prawns, if that's to many, who cares :)
I have no idea what "Tomatillo" might be, just leave it out and call it a Tomato Salsa.

Here's one for steaks, might also be worth a go.
I think the Apple Wood chips are an optional extra.

Bon appetit :)

I am very interested. I think I could remember most of it.The bourbon was poured onto the prawns on the hot plate so all the alcohol evaporated and was cooking in mustard as well. I could cook inside my patrol as the alcohol would form as fog on the windows and I could lick it off so its not wasted.
Seriously it would be good if someone could email a recipe.

Gee John you are keen, after reading your post I started looking for a few receipes as well I got the prawns out but then decided to make my own dipping sauce instead with a bit of everything out of the fridge and pantry mayo, soy worchestersire, sweet chilli, tabasco, bbq sauce and a bit of tomato sauce then washed it all down with a couple of nice glasses of J.D.

Yeah, too good to waste on food hey Scorcher. Better to drink it.:)

Tomatillo's are related to tomatoes and are similar in shape. However they are a lot more tart. They only grow about 5cm in diameter and are round. They have an outer layer surrounding the fruit that looks like rough leaves. They have to be used while they are still green.

You could leave Tomatillo's out of the recipe and just use tomatoes, but the flavour would be completely different. You could use green tomatoes with a little lemon juice to substitute for a tomatillo.

Ah, thanks for that Geoff, I'll look for them now, whenever I'm dragged along, kicking & screaming, to do the crocery shopping that is.
