Had a ‘Back To The 90’s BBQ’ today

Back then all I knew about bbq’ing was grilling underdone burgers and overdone sausages.

Not the best photo, but I was ready to eat - ribs were done following a recipe from the DJ BBQ book and worked really well, kebabs were from the butchers and the flat bread was also done on the BBQ (most of them weren't as well done as the one I had).

I had these yesterday and I must say they were bloody amazing. Not sure I can be arsed to go back to my homemade ribs from scratch when things like this are so much easier

Home made piri piri chicken cooked over charcoal yesterday. Infinitely better than a nandos.

Bank holiday here, so leisurely cooking.

Sausages, marinaded chicken and prawns.



Plus some asparagus, which was lovely.

[Harry Flashman]

Barbecued asparagus is one of the great food pleasures.

Yeah you can , 2 hrs in the slow cooker with coke/apple juice then 2 more in the smoker basting towards the finish , half the price . Trust me I've tried so many variations for ribs this is the simplest and no different to the rest , fall off the bone etc etc

Agreed. Find a butcher and buy some proper ribs, I just used the Schwartz BBQ rub, chilli flakes, sugar and honey and then on a spit. They were amazing, even if I do say so myself

Yes, massive fan of fish on the BBQ. Perfect on a warm evening.

Beef short ribs today.



After an overnight dry brine, I braised them for about 1.5 hours.



Then they has a few hours to cool in the fridge before a run with salt, pepper and cayenne pepper.



It was quite wet outside by this point. So I don’t have any photos, but they spent 30 minutes on indirect medium heat with Applewood smoke. Then there was 5 minutes over direct heat with a BBQ sauce glaze.

In the mean time I set let my onions soak up some left over braising juice.



Sweetcorn, asparagus and potatoes all done on the grill as well. Ended up a lovely bank holiday lunch.
