Rooftop Summer Pignic

This past Sunday Michal and I met with a couple of good friends for a little rooftop lunch. Our friend got a terra-cotta pig grill from Cost Plus World Market and we thought it would be fun to test it out. Sure, there's a BBQ grill, but where's the fun in that? Not everyday do you grill on a mini pig. We went to Uwajimaya to get our ingredients. We opted for something simple. Chicken and Portuguese sausage kebabs, grilled squid, and shishito peppers. Overall a tasty, light, and perfect summer meal.

Chicken and Portuguese sausage with red onions. Marinate meats in olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper. The grill wasn't practical for cooking chicken, so we had to improvise with the grill and its cooking rotation so the meat cooked properly.

The mini pig grill is more ideal for fast grilling and perfect for veggies and seafood. Shishito peppers and squid are a perfect flavor combination. You can even stuff the squid with the pepper inside for one bite!

A summer must have…a friend with a rooftop.

Welcome to Gola's Kitchen

Hi everyone! My name is Osiris and Gola's Kitchen is a spin off from my Instagram hashtag #getinthekitchengola. The hashtag features all the meals Michal has made me throughout our relationship. Those who know me and my partner Michal, know that we love to eat and cook. When we met it was food that brought us together and 3 years later it is food that has kept us together. We are still in the beginning stages of developing a business model for Gola's Kitchen, but for starters I thought it would be nice to create a platform where we can share our journey, stories, recipes, etc.

We are hoping an online presence (from this blog, Facebook, Instagram, to our other social media pages) can help us get a better idea of the route we're headed. We want to host a few test kitchens, cater some private dinner parties for research purposes, so stay tuned. Thank you to our friends and family who have encouraged us to take this food thing more seriously. We don't know exactly what we're doing yet, but we are excited nonetheless.
