I’ve been making this marinade forever! We love it on pork chops but do try it on chicken, shrimp or scallops. The pork or chicken should marinate overnight but the seafood only requires a couple of hours in the fridge. It’s really easy to throw together and it’s seagull friendly! I was barbecuing chops one night […]
Burgers, Burgers, Burgers! Happy Canada Day! A perfect way to celebrate! I don’t usually mix a lot of stuff into the meat, that way we can enjoy the full, juicy flavour of the meat! Makes 4 Servings 1 ¼ – 1 ½ lbs. lean ground beef (depending on the amount of meat you are using for […]
After discovered the amazing, delicious juiciness of pork and chicken that have been brined, there’s no going back. Sure you have to plan ahead a bit but the amount of work is minimal. Both the chicken and the pork benefit hugely from being roasted on a barbecue, either on a rack or if you have […]
Such a good salad to have in your repertoire! Just think…sitting outside on a warm night, firing up the grill, having a glass of wine…does it get any better? The dressing can be made a couple of hours ahead. I bought rib steaks from P.E.I. (Prince Edward Island) at a local butcher shop. They were […]
It’s Spot Prawn season once again! Woo hoo! If you live on the Westcoast of B.C. the arrival of the Spot Prawns is a big deal! I think the combination of prawns just off the grill dipped into this aioli really works! If you don’t want to bother shelling the prawns, toss with the EVO, […]
My go to marinade for halibut, cod, or salmon. It makes enough for 8 – 10 pieces of fish so I reduce the recipe as needed. Whenever I served the fish at the corporate dining room I managed it was always a big favorite and I often had requests from some CEO or other for […]
A very tasty marinade I like a lot for prawns or a combination of both scallops and prawns or Spot Prawns, or one of my favourites, halibut cheeks! I’ve used the marinade for small skewered appetizers too. The seafood/fish can either be barbecued or broiled. Simply increase the recipe according to the amount of fish […]
My go to marinade for lamb chops, racks and butterflied leg of lamb. Recipe can be doubled or tripled, depending on the amount of lamb you have. The lamb is delicious cooked on the barbecue or you can use the oven broiler. Makes Enough Marinade For 6 – 8 Double Loin Lamb Chops 2 cloves garlic […]
You have to love it when you can pretty much cook your entire dinner outside on the barbecue. I think these “packets” go really well with grilled beef steaks, or for that matter, pork chops, chicken or fish! Makes 6 Servings 2/3 cup EVO 1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh thyme, or 1 […]
More Burgers, Burgers, Burgers I have made these burgers with beef, buffalo and turkey and they were all excellent! Makes 4 Servings For Salsa 1 small tomato ¼ cup + 1/8 cup onion, diced 2 garlic cloves 2 chipotle chilies in adobo (use less if you don’t like it too hot) 2 pasilla or other […]
