Coupé-Coupé

Mix Maggi sauce, cayenne pepper, and other ingredients (except meat) to make a marinade. Pour marinade over meat in a glass container. Let meat marinate for at least half an hour or longer in the refrigerator.

Slowly cook meat in a smoker or outdoor grill over a hardwood or charcoal fire. (If a gas barbecue grill is used, add smoke by burning some water-soaked wood chips in a metal pan.) Making Coupé-Coupé is like barbecuing ribs: the heat should be low and the cooking slow. A pan of water on the side of the grill helps keep the meat moist. The meat should be basted every twenty to thirty minutes with more marinade and/or oil. Cook the meat for two to five hours, depending on the size and thickness of the meat and the distance from the heat. Remember: low and slow. It's a good idea to use a meat thermometer to make certain the meat is done.
