you
and welcome to crock-pot Wednesday today's meal is going to be outside in
my little fire pit I had here so I'm gonna share with you what I'm making
today so the first thing we're gonna make is some smoked fresh turkey Cabasa
I got it for a dollar 49 and I found it in my freezer and then I'm gonna fry up
some bacon for a video coming up of making potato soup and then we're gonna
make some rice to go with the cabassa
one thing I love about cooking outside is you don't have to worry about the
heat in your kitchen
so we're gonna go ahead and heat the water up and when the water is boiling
we will add our rice so right here I have a meal for today and I have the
bacon for tomorrow now as you can see this bacon is really fat but that's okay
because what I'm going to use it for is I'm going to crumble it up there's no
mess in the house and there's no heat in the house
I really enjoy cooking outside it's a lot of fun you can sit and you can watch
the nature and you can hear the birds sing
and you don't have to worry about the mess slower way of cooking you know you
don't microwave something and it only takes a few minutes I often think about
the pioneers and how they had to really think about what they were gonna make
that day or maybe they ate the same thing every day but you had to do a lot
of things to prepare like it took me about an hour to get enough of wood
burning that I have some really good white coals and ashes so I had a really
good heat going what do they do when it rained what do they do when all of these
circumstances happened in their life for me if it rains or if it's snowing I can
just go ahead and cook indoors
Wow our water is flowing already time to add the rice
dude it's just about finished so the next time you'll see me I'll be in the
kitchen and I'll share with you what everything looks like
well everything is finished and let me tell you the rice is amazing
there is no rice cooker that can make rice this good this is the first time I
made rice on an open fire and look how fluffy it is it's just so fluffy it's
amazing so we're gonna have rice and
then we're gonna have some of the chicken cabassa over top of the rice now
I do have some leftover peas that I will add here when my husband gets home but
I'll show you how I'm gonna make it so we're gonna put just a little bit of
some salsa on to give it flavor barbecue sauce you can do as well
it's not good and look how beautiful crispy bacon got so when this cools off
I'm gonna crumble this up and use it for my potato soup well this was a little
bit of a different video but you're gonna see a lot more videos like this of
cooking outside so let me give it a taste test and see something about
cooking on an open fire makes a really smoky flavor so I'm about cooking on an
open fire it gives a really smoky flavor it's just a really good woodsy type of
flavor mmm oops really good I had a little ketchup barbecue sauce
ooh I'm really impressed with the rice the rice is really good well everyone
take care and we'll see you guys tomorrow
I hope you do some cooking on an open fire it's a lot of fun
