Exploration-s23w3 / Outdoor Kitchen.
This outdoor kitchen is a blast! I love using it when I'm home with my family. My mom enjoys it a lot, so if you visit her, you'll definitely see the outdoor kitchen.
I live in the biggest city in my country, and outdoor kitchens are pretty rare here. I was nervous when I first started, but I completed it before anyone noticed.
Now, I can't wait to show you what I've created for myself!
Tell us about your experience with outdoor food, which you like to prepare, do you enjoy the process? |

My experience with outdoor kitchens is not new, and I always find it enjoyable. At home, I have plenty of space to work with. I once got burned by coal while roasting yam.
Roasted yam is a traditional dish that my dad loves. When preparing it, you slice the yam without peeling the skin, just make a small cut and sprinkle salt on it. Then, you place it on the hot coals and let it roast, turning it occasionally to prevent burning.
Once the yam is ready, I peel off the skin by scraping it. It's a wonderful experience that connects you to various local dishes. We enjoy this yam with palm oil, oil bean seeds (ukpaka), and pepper, and it's so delicious.
Prepare two of the 3 recipes explained in the course and present them creatively. |

Since I don't stay in the rural area, I made do with the available to prepare these outdoor delicacies.
Ingredients
 My major ingredients |
|---|
🔥 Beef (300g)
🔥 Tooth picks
🔥 1 Onion
🔥 Red and green pepper
🔥 Salt to taste
🔥 Seasoning cubes
🔥 Wooden stick for fire
🔥 Onions
Process
• Wash the beef with salt and a clean water. Slice it in small sizes and season with ypur desired spices.
• Wash onion and Red pepper in a clean water and slice them.
• Using toothpick, I stacked the meat with onions and pepper because I couldn't get a stick, it was nice anyway. I just had to device a means.
• I used some stack of woods to make a fire, then using a net like object, I made a grill to place my stacked meat since it wouldn't touch the ground or touch the wood to avoid sand from entering it.

🔥 1 tablespoon of sugar
🔥 A pinch of salt.
🔥 Water to knead
Process

• Add a little water and mix together with your bare hands.

• Roll out a portion using a clean surface and then start rolling it round your working tool. I used a steel spoon because I didn't have another option.
• I placed it on fire and turned at interval so that it doesn't burn.
• I couldn't capture all processes because I was doing all of it alone and I was trying to be fast to avoid my neighbours coming to my apartment.

Finally, my hunter bread and Kaboob are ready!
 |  |
|---|
Which of the recipes was easier and more difficult? Why? |
|---|
The hunter bread was easier and faster. It has just 3 processes and you get it done. I didn't up to 20 mins to get it fixed except for the roasting.
I guess because I used a steel spoon, it almost got my thumbs burnt. I enjoyed it more though.
The most difficult is the Kaboob, it has a lot of processes. To make my fire was a serious case because the breeze from my side was more than too much. It made me finish up all my paper for lighting the wood. I struggled with it for over 30 mins.
When roasting, I had to stand watching it and turning it. I got exhausted at a point and wanted to give up but since I have already started, I pushed to finish.
4.What steemians would you invite to eat your preparation and why? How would you invite him? |

I want to invite @ruthjoe because she enjoys unique meals, especially ones that are not common. She loves rice, but this dish will amaze her since she is also a big fan of meat. I’ll send her this message so she doesn’t miss out.
Hi @ruthjoe, I’d like to invite you to a special dinner featuring kaboob wit hunter bread. It’s a tasty outdoor dish that’s different from the usual, and I think you’ll really enjoy it.
I really hope you say yes because I know you appreciate great food. You probably haven’t tried this dish before, so here’s your chance! I hope to see you before it’s all gone.
The assigned tasks should be graphed with images and at the end a selfie with the dish ready. |

Wonderful presentation, I know as a cook you will find it very easy to do. I will sue you for not inviting me to eat with you. Do you how I love meat? Well your post is great I wish you good luck.
Yes mama, it was very easy, it wasn't a challenge at all but my only fear was starting an outdoor kitchen in my apartment where such things are not allowed. I was just being too fast so that I won't be catched, and you know the smoke was too much.
I love meat too, that was why I chose to do it. As for inviting you, it's not too late ma'am, the meat is still intact.
Saludos y bendiciones mi apreciada amiga, que delicioso es cocinar al aire libre, obtienes ese toque a sabor a naturaleza, veo que disfrutaste esos momentos, esa preparación se ve exquisita, el pan del cazador es un buen acompañante para los pinchos, así le decimos en mi país Venezuela. Seguro que después lo disfrutaste. Fue un placer conocerte y gracias por compartir tu experiencia en la cocina al aire libre. Un abrazo fraternal.
Thank you so much my friend, of course I enjoyed the outdoor cooking. This is what I miss most about home, it gives me the privilege to explore, but in the city, I am limited.
Thank you so much.
I definitely will enjoy this kind of meals.
It looks really yummy. You are a chef indeed.
