A Meal at the Inn

“Ser Rodrik tried to tug at whiskers that were not there, but before he could frame a rebuke the serving boy came scurrying up.  He laid trenchers of bread before them and filled them with chunks of browned meat off a skewer, dripping with hot juice.  Another skewer held tiny onions, fire peppers, and fat mushrooms.  Ser Rodrik set to lustily as the lad ran back to fetch them beer.” -A Game of Thrones

Meal at the Inn

Our Thoughts:

Take some tasty vegetables, award winning meat, and cook them both over a hot fire.  Can you really go wrong there?  The meat was perfectly tender, and the veggies came out wonderful.  The peppers were perhaps a little too hot for our taste, but added a lot aesthetically.  The mushrooms were delicious as is, while the cooked onions could be popped out of their crispy outer skin.

Our only change? Try cooking the meat under a broiler, with the bread well below to catch the drippings.  YUM.

How to Make it

What you’ll need:

Begin by slicing your bread through the middle so that you are left with two flat half-loaves.
Thread your meat and veggies onto skewers.  We seasoned our lamb with a bit of salt, pepper, and savory, but feel free to use whatever herbs and seasonings you like best.
We cooked our skewers over an open fire, but putting them under a broiler will also work well.  Cook until the meat is just pink in the middle, and the veggies are tender.  Enjoy!
