Well, today I had a big lunch. I went out with a fellow consultant and our trainees to a local Chinese restaurant, viz., Garran Kitchen. We had duck, bean curd with chicken, pork, and beef.

Tonight I wanted something light but rather than just stick a chicken thigh in the oven I thought I’d play with my meat first.

Deboned chicken thigh rolled around Spam with a drumstick and extra Spam.

Ingredients

• Chicken thigh
• Frozen peas and corn
• Vegemite
• Spam

Instructions

1. Open a tin of Spam and cut off a baton or two.
2. I had dry brined the chicken overnight and the skin was dry to touch.
3. I trimmed off the excess skin and carefully dissected out the femur.
4. I then rolled the thigh meat around a baton of Spam and tied it up with some cooking twine.
5. I cooked it using a meat thermometer aiming to achieve an internal temperature of 76 °C.
6. Boil a mug of water and stir with a teaspoon of Vegemite.
7. Cover frozen vegetables with the Vegemite water and heat in a saucepan until the water boils.
8. Turn off the heat and drain the vegetables.
9. I served this with some frozen vegetables which I’d cooked in Vegemite water.
