Flying Jacob BBQ Roll


Having recently discovered the Bacon Explosion, I thought I would combine that with a "classic" Swedish dish called "Flygande Jacob / Flying Jacob". There might have been some alcohol involved during that thought process...

The Flying Jacob dish was created in the early 70s as a kids meal, but it's really enjoyed by grown-ups as well. Most people do look a bit skeptic when told that it contains rice, bananas, peanuts, chicken and bacon... So the trick is usually to emphasize the bacon part.

Anyway, having emphasized the bacon part and the beer part (I did mention that part, didn't I?) I figured it would combine very well with the Bacon Explosion concept, plus I got to barbecue the Flying Jacob. :)

First up was a layer of thinly sliced chicken breasts, which I put on some cling film to help with the rolling later on. Add a thin layer of cooked rice on top, sprinkle lots of peanuts and slather in sauce (2 parts cream, 1 part Chili Ketchup) and top it off with two bananas.


Then try to roll it up with out making too much of a mess. The cling film really helps, trust me.


Place all of it on the prepared bacon weave and make a nice even roll. Removing the clingfilm is recommended.


 On and in the barbecue for about and hour, making sure that the chicken has reached a suitable temperature.


Cut it up and serve.


The result? Assuming you enjoy the original dish, this one was even better.
