My husband gives these his “2 thumbs up.” You can absolutely substitute approximately 2 lbs. of chicken wings. The chicken can be cooked in the oven on a rack, or they are fabulous done on the barbecue, just make sure when barbecuing to use the “indirect” method or you’ll end up with burnt chicken! Wings […]
I’ve been making these forever and they remain high on my list of really tasty ribs. There’s nothing like good ribs despite the sticky fingers! Can there ever be too many delicious recipes for ribs? We sure don’t think so! I often precook ribs for a short while before finishing them on the Weber over […]
Bring on the burgers! A bit of the mayo is mixed into the turkey adding moisture and lots of great flavour! I don’t know about you but I love grilled onions and peppers on a burger! Makes 3 or 4 Burgers ½ tsp. cumin seeds ½ tsp. coriander seeds ½ cup mayo. 2 Tbsp. EVOO […]
A delicious, light summer dinner; perfect for eating outdoors on a warm evening! Or…you could serve them as an appetizer. I made a cool, refreshing cucumber salad to go with them. Normally I serve these wraps with Nuoc Cham dipping sauce but for a change I made a peanut sauce and it was delicious too, […]
The first time I made this recipe we shared with our neighbours; the artichokes made quite the impression! I know they are a bit fiddly to prep. but I really think these unbelievably good little morsels are worth the effort! Hope you do too! They would make an amazing addition to an antipasto platter. 2 […]
This is a really good side dish for all sorts of meats as well as a delicious topping for grilled steaks; add a nice bottle of red vino and you’re good to go! Makes 4 Servings ¾ lb. brown mushrooms, sliced 2 large onions, thinly sliced 1 clove garlic, minced 3 Tbsp. EVO, or a […]
The chops are very good and serving them with the chutney makes them utterly delicious adding that extra punch. I think this chutney would be good with any cut of pork, poultry or fish. Makes 4 Servings Marinade For Pork: 3 cloves garlic, chopped ¼ cup lime juice 1 tsp. ground cumin 1 tsp. chopped […]
The lamb would be great with a medium-bodied red wine. This was our very first attempt to barbecue a butterflied leg of lamb; it was terrific! Makes 6-8 Servings 6 medium garlic cloves 2 Tbsp. minced fresh rosemary ½ tsp. kosher salt ½ tsp. coarsely ground black pepper 1/8 tsp. cinnamon 2 Tbsp. EVO 1 […]
This recipe transports me to Italy, the tantalizing aroma of meat, sizzling over a wood fire. Here at home we will have to make do with our trusty Weber and hardwood charcoal! Try with beef or pork too! Makes 6 Servings 5 Tbsp. EVO ¼ cup dry red wine 1 ½ Tbsp. fresh rosemary, chopped […]
Fire up the barbecue! Sitting outdoors enjoying the foods of the Mediterranean, the scent of gorgeous spices wafting through the air! I like to serve these “meatballs” with a Greek salad, but you can simply chop up tomatoes, cucumbers and onion and put them on top of the “meatballs,” drizzling with the yogurt sauce. Either […]
