Barra Wings on the barbie

Our friend David Taylor was let loose with the wings for this "get your fingers messy" event.

Breads dipped in David's fabulous bagna caulda and a lovingly nurtured balsamico and the wings served with a choice of flavours - bush tomato, spicy Thai, mango and the to die for Jamaican Jerk. Here's the recipe - marinade yourself a goat and slow roast on the Weber!

The Barra wings were very kindly provided by Ilic Brothers Fisheries
