New cookbook version · Serves 6

Written to complete the family collection. This is a new version, not a recovered record of the original cook.

Ingredients

  • 800 g boneless chicken thighs
  • 6 beef sausages
  • 800 g potatoes, cut into 3 cm pieces
  • 2 capsicums, cut into strips
  • 2 zucchini, sliced lengthways
  • 4 tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1½ tsp salt, divided
  • Black pepper
  • Chimichurri and lemon, to serve

Method

  1. Toss potatoes with 2 tbsp oil and ½ tsp salt. Seal in a double-foil parcel and cook beside coals for 35–45 minutes, turning regularly, until tender.
  2. Season chicken with 1 tbsp oil, paprika, garlic, ½ tsp salt and pepper.
  3. Arrange a hot and cooler grill zone. Cook sausages over medium heat, turning often, until at least 71°C. Cook chicken for roughly 5–7 minutes per side until at least 74°C.
  4. Toss vegetables with remaining oil and salt and grill until tender and charred, about 5–10 minutes.
  5. Rest chicken for 5 minutes, slice and serve everything on a platter with chimichurri and lemon.

Kitchen notes

Keep raw-meat utensils separate from cooked food. Time each component by doneness rather than trying to finish everything over the hottest coals.
