COOKING IN PAPERBARK



It's Sunday afternoon, and here on the Sunshine Coast we've had wind, rain, heat and humidity and now it's quiet, the birds are out and the hum of the lawnmovers are trying to make an overgrown paddock into a lawn again...... and we'v decided to go for a BBQ with my favourite fish, coral trout, cooked in paperbark.

Paperbark gives a wonderful smokey flavour to the fish, very Aussie bush type stuff and it's simple to do.....the paperbark trees are shedding now, so go find some, peel off the tree, give it a wash and soak in water, then put around your favourite fish and vegetables....I usually lay a few pieces around it (make sure the paperbark is wet) and then instead of tying with string wrap the whole thing up in foil....on the BBQ in the oven it's all good. Potatoes, or any vegetables also have a great flavour with paperbark.

If you click on the link about you'll go to my Making Tracks site and I've done a bit of a pictorial show bit by bit of the cook.
