THE SMELL OF FREEDOM
As soon as the first rays of sun start warming up the air and the nights lose their cold bite, people like to go outside. When the working day is done – or when, on the weekend, it doesn’t even start – you won’t find a park, a beach, a riverbank, barely even a garden in which friends and family aren’t getting together to enjoy each other’s company, to play, chill, laugh and cook. This last activity is one that people are getting more and more enthusiastic about (surveys certainly say so). And in view of this, this recipe booklet is dedicated to open-air cooking. The idea behind the 13 recipes on the following pages is that they should be easy and work anywhere outside or can be prepared at home for take away. All you´ll need is a relaxed mood, high quality ingedients, nice weather and a nice outdoor location. Once you’ve got all that, look forward to the smell of savoury meat, delicate fish and aromatic vegetables in the balmy air. We hope you have a fantastic summer! Your NEFF editorial staff

Nail the fish to a soaked beech-wood plank using wooden plugs and then place on the BBQ.

If it‘s raining you can use a smoker bag to prepare the the river trout in the oven. Place the oven rack in the lowest position in the oven. Pre-heat the oven to 475 ° - 500 ° F or 250 °- 260 ° C. Fill the bag with the food (only fill 2/3 of the bag for best results). Place the food directly in the smoker bag and close it by folding the opening at least twice and then turning in the corners. Place the bag in the hot oven directly on the rack and cook the fish at 475 ° F or 250 ° C for the first 15 minutes. After reducing the temperature to 375 ° F or 190 ° C cook it 8 Minutes more. Take the bag from the oven and let the food rest in unopened bag for 5 - 10 minutes before opening. Boiled potatoe with their skins on and wild herb dip taste great with this dish.

Remove the leaves from the sprigs of thyme and rosemary and add to the mix. Season the meat with salt and pepper, spread the resulting paste over it, and roll the meat up.
