The gourmet menu
Have you decided to transform yourself into a Michelin-starred chef with Kokko cooking to impress your dad? Then you'll need a menu to match. To set the tone from the start, why not begin by offering Kokko-grilled toasts accompanied by smoked trout or homemade Espelette pepper foie gras? For the main course, opt for a prime cut of meat such as this delicious duck paletot cooked in fig leaves and semi-smoked figs, this superb hot-smoked veal aiguillette baronne with apple wood, or this tempting recipe for marinated beef picanha cooked on lava stone.
When it comes to vegetables, we choose seasonal products like these flame-cooked eggplant smoked with pine cones or these tomatoes à la provençale. Final bouquet: dazzle your father with this chocolate moelleux baked in Kokko! If you're new to smoking, check out our instructions for smoking food with Kokko.
The all-fish menu
Now that you've learned all the tricks of the fish BBQ trade, this family reunion is the perfect opportunity to showcase your fish on the Kokko. A healthy and delicious meal! Start with grilled shrimp skewers with ginger. Then, head to the Mediterranean for recipes with southern flavors. Treat yourself to a beautiful grilled sea bream with lemon or these grilled fish dishes with Provencal and Italian accents: red mullet stuffed with pesto and smoked bacon - red mullet stuffed with pistou - cod in a pesto crust.
To accompany them? There's nothing like Kokko grilled sun vegetables such as zucchini with garlic or these colourful spicy peppers. For the highlight, after this light meal, let your sweet tooth do the talking with a soft honey, hazelnut and fig, a caramelised pineapple, fruit brochettes and melon soup or roasted or roasted peaches and figs with a scoop of ice cream.
