Cafe la Terra in addition to rockin' out at the Tote, reliving our lost youth to the sounds of Snout in addition to Even. While nosotros were at that spot nosotros grabbed a re-create of ToteZine #32, which unexpectedly featured recipes! Julian Wu, Melbourne gig-goer extraordinaire in addition to fixture behind the bbq at the Tote, included a duo of his favourite bbq recipes. We decided to to recreate the sense at abode - minus Ross McClennan swinging from the rooftops in addition to Wally Kempton singing Fleetwood Mac songs.
We had 2 WuBQ recipes to last with, i of which required vegetarian-ising. We turned his barbecued chicken wings into barbecued tofu - it was only a conduct swap, the marinade stayed every bit it was. The tofu nosotros had didn't soak upward the marinade quite every bit much every bit I imagine chicken would, but it even hence ended upward rich alongside sweet, smoky bbq goodness (especially later nosotros poured a fleck of the leftover marinade on top). The purpose of Milo in addition to java inwards the marinade added a fleck of depth to the ketchup-based sauce. It was all pretty sweet, but the liquid fume in addition to tabasco added plenty tabular array salt in addition to spice to brand for a pretty successful sauce.
The polenta was real uncomplicated - only polenta, stock in addition to cheese. It was tasty enough, but actually benefited from having the tofu's accompanying sauce on paw to soak upward a fleck of extra flavour. With a handful of greens on the side, this was a uncomplicated stone 'n' scroll process for a busy schoolhouse night. Julian Wu, nosotros salute you.
