Ideas for your next barbecue

Hey all - what is everyone cooking up this weekend? I'm thinking it's ribs, probably pork, although lamb ribs are pretty on point to smoke at the moment.

 

What's on your grill or smoker?

What have you been cooking lately @MoonshineBen?

 

I didn't fire up the barbie on the weekend but we did have some amazing lamb shoulder yesterday that was cooked overnight low and slow. After we pulled it we added some feta and a sauce made from fresh mint which was fantastic.

I've been a bit absent lately, haven't I? We're in the process of moving house, so haven't been cooking as much, but smoked a lamb shoulder on Saturday, which came out amazing.

There'll be lots more practice ahead of may though as we prepare for BBQ Wars at Meatstock in May,

Yum, looks fantastic @MoonshineBen. Thanks for sharing. 

 

Good luck with the move. Will you have more room for outdoor cooking? What are your chances of getting that offset smoker you were after following the move?

Re: What's everyone cooking this weekend?

Yes, got a good space to set up, and definitely got some room for the offset now!

Wowee! That lamb shoulder looks amazing Ben. I think I'm going to investigate a smoker myself...

Had a good day yesterday. Made burgers for lunch with friends, and jalapeno poppers for dinner. :cheeky:

 

Did anyone else fire up the barbie on the weekend?

My favourite thing to cook on the barbie is simple lamb cutlets. Olive oil, salt and some fresh rosemary, then cooked on a very hot grill very quickly so they are still pink in the middle.

Can you please share your jalepeno poppers recipe? I'm keen to give them another go when I harvest my next batch of jalepenos. Last time I just did a simple cream cheese and bacon mixture, then rolled them in crumbs and pan fried. 

 

Thanks,

Re: What's everyone cooking this weekend?

No worries @Jason - Cream cheese, caramelised bacon bits, finely diced pineapple, hickory smoked sea salt and a special smoked chipotle powder. That's one of my fav combos. If you don't have the chipotle powder, cayenne is also good. (Poor quality) pic below is with smoked paprika on top.
