During winter I often cook a puy lentil ragu. Roasted a chicken and served it on the ragu tonight.
Here's a basic recipe for the lentil ragu (I add smoked paprika, and then lemon juice and fresh herbs at the end. Maybe some white wine to deglaze, or some sherry vinegar.)
I use two cups of chicken stock and one cup of water per cup of lentils.

Any suggestions for a fairly cheap, portable charcoal bbq? Not sure I want to stretch to a smokey joe if it's only very occasional use...

@canefan hah it's also about 250 smackaroos over here, but cheers for the steer!
The Akorn? Definitely more expensive. The Go Anywhere is the cheapest quality bbq around. Otherwise a cheap style kettle or GA copy will do basic grilling, lower and slower cooks will be more difficult

@nzzp Again with the Peaches? You really should be on some sort of a retainer.
I've been trying to get there ever since you first mentioned it, but Panmure is a bit of a trek. Whenever I have been anywhere in the area (like e.g. Highbrook) I have made a visit but they've always been either closed or packed to the rafters.
Really DO need to get there.

Yeah ... my wife sent me that one. But we're fans, and for good reason.
Their chicken is an experience. Seriously. It's packed for a reason.
Plus, Panmure FFS. It's become a real ethnic food destination

@nzzp Yeah The Chasing A Plate series on Panmure on You Tube had me salivating but East Auckland is the least visited part of the city for me and to get there from my home I have to drive past literally hundreds of other places that I want to eat.
there are more than 20 places I want to try that are within walking distance of my home so Panmure might as well be in the Congo.

@Victor-Meldrew You lost me on the Mayo. I could not figure out why I had lost my interest in burgers until I went to a joint in the eastern sierras. The waitress asked me if I wanted mayo. The penny dropped.

I did it for you. Pretty tasty, waffles had herb butter on them, got the medium spicy which was great. Chilli maple syrup was weird but seemed to work. You're welcome

Holy Cluck is outrageous
How hot? I use Carolina Reapers for comparison.
I might have to try it once.
I'm a white guy. It makes me cough and occasionally shake.
Haven't eaten a Carolina Reaper, but my digestive tract is on fire for a couple of days later, so I don't get Holy Cluck often. Go do it - get a plate of chicken
