The Indian fire--Here is where the lowly wigwam fire comes into its own. Build it of fine stuff as usual but when it comes to putting on the big poles, do not chop them but just pull the ends up onto the fire and let the poles radiate from it. When the ends are burnt, pull the poles up again.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Parcs et jardins botaniques

feu en étoile: c'est une version plate du feu en wigwam et ce type de feu permet de mieux contrôler les flammes et la chaleur de cuisson qu'il dégage. A mesure que les bâtons brûlent, vous les poussez dans le feu en quantité suffisante pour l'alimenter.

  • Menus (Restauration)
CONT

Les mets Tandoori doivent leur nom au tandouri, un four d'argile alimenté au charbon de bois qui sert à griller, à cuire au barbecue ou au four les viandes, les fruits de mer et le pain. Les viandes et les fruits de mer sont marinés dans une sauce traditionnelle moyennement épicée et ensuite rôtis lentement dans un tandouri. Cette méthode donne un mets succulent dont la saveur tient à la fois de la cuisson au barbecue et de la cuisson au four [...] On reconnaît les recettes Tandoori à [la] couleur rouge distincte que prend la viande.
