AuthorcrumbsMarcus is known as the ‘Food Dude’ at Devonian cured meat specialist Good Game and its sister restaurant, The Pig and Pallet in Topsham. This dish combines his favourite Good Game product – the Devon Dog – and Pig and Pallet’s ‘Big Jim’s BBQ Sauce’. Regularly cooked up as a special at The Pig and Pallet, this is a hearty side dish that will take any barbecue to the next level. “It’s also a banging way to use up any barbecued or roasted meat, or other leftovers, and is great served up ‘family’ style, with everyone getting involved,” says Marcus.
Warm the butter in a heavy-based pan on the barbecue or stovetop, then mix in the paprika and chipotle powder. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
Chuck in the diced up frankfurters and cook until they gain a bit of colour, although for no more than 2-3 minutes
Add the bourbon – being sure to try some first! – and the cola. Cook until the liquid has reduced by half.
Add in the chopped tomatoes and bring to the boil, stirring so it doesn’t catch on the bottom of the pot. Strain and rinse the beans then add those too, along with barbecue sauce, to taste.
Cook at a simmer for a further 30 minutes. (Meanwhile, finish off the bourbon and, in the words of the master Keith Floyd, “when the bourbon is gone the food is ready.”) Serve with warm crusty bread.
