Kicking off with Chicken Al Kabsa So the 2018 World Cup kicked off in Russia today, with a fantastic result for the hosts. It also meant the start of the World Cup of BBQ where I aim to cook one dish using the BBQ, from one of the countries playing that day. They were decided on Twitter…
Let’s start by saying this Chicken Doner Kebab is not my recipe but it is one I absolutely love. I think I have probably cooked this more over the last 18 months than any other recipe. The recipe was from Kelly Bramill and was referred to as the Kellybab. Kelly is no longer online, and I…
I was in two minds whether to write this ‘recipe’ for Pork Crackling up or not. However, I got an amazing cook using the BBQ Vortex and will be something that now gets cooked regularly. The vortex basically cooks indirectly but at a high heat so the skin got really nice and crispy. Every time…
We are real fans of Mac ‘n’ Cheese. It is a great comfort food and tastes absolutely fantastic especially if it is cooked on the BBQ. Rather than serving as the main course, I thought I would scale down the portion size and create a starter dish. I think this would equally be well served…
I have become a real fan of cooking chicken with the BBQ Vortex. Typically, chicken thighs or chicken wings will take around 45 minutes to cook. I actually think you could probably reduce the cooking time slightly to 35-40 minutes which is what I will try next time. Using the vortex always delivers a crispy…
Houmous is a really versatile dip that I think goes with loads of different foods. This recipe produced a nice smooth and really tasty version, which is better than anything you will find in supermarkets. This recipe is incredibly easy and quick to make. It will keep for a few days, so can be prepared…
I have been cooking much more fish on the BBQ recently. I had seen Ray Wings in my local Waitrose, which made me a little curious about what they would be like. I had never tried tasting them, nevermind cooking them before. I searched the internet for a recipe and found one on BBC Good…
As mentioned in previous posts I absolutely love kebabs. My process with any kebab recipe is to make sure I marinate the meat for a long(ish) period. Ideally, this means marinating overnight but a 4-hour marinade works well. I typically marinate to add flavour but I also think it helps when cooking the meat, to keep…
This Fig and Parma Ham Pizza using Gorgonzola Cheese and Caramelised Onion made a really nice change to my normal pizza cooks. My pizzas are relatively quick to do and consist of the following elements: Tomato Paste – made from a lovely recipe from ‘This Old Gal’. Dough from The Northern Dough Company Toppings These…
One thing that almost never fails to make an appearance when I BBQ is Halloumi. I love it just grilled or served with some cherry tomatoes but this recipe provides a little variety and makes for a great side dish. I really like the Halloumi from Costco. I find it really good quality. It not…
