The barbecue is our favourite way to cook corn on the cob! There are a couple of ways to do corn on the barbecue. One is to peel back husks from corn cobs without detaching from cobs; remove silks. Rewrap cobs with husks; soak in water for at least 20 minutes or for up to […]
I have seen many recipes that ask for the ribs to be pre-cooked before finishing on the barbecue. The recipe asks that the ribs be separated and then boiled for some time. Oops…I think this method not only toughens the meat but a lot of flavour goes into that water. I use another method that […]
I have made this recipe many, may times since I came across it many years ago. It was always a big hit when I made it for events when I was a corporate caterer. And it’s so easy too! We like to cook the chicken on the barbecue but it works just fine in a […]
I have very fond memories of sharing the ribs with friends one night at dinner in our backyard. Every time one of the guys finished a rib, they flung them over their shoulders and tucked into another one! You can easily half this recipe using 3 lbs. of ribs, making half the ginger sauce. The […]
And more Burgers, Burgers, Burgers! The recipe specifies using ground chuck, but I have changed it up on occasion and used ground buffalo and even ground turkey and loved them all! Makes 4 Servings Make the compound butter: ¼ lb. unsalted butter, room temperature ½ large clove of garlic, minced ½ tsp. each, minced fresh tarragon, basil […]
If you want to have the most delicious, easy chicken, then do what Joe does and “Tuscanize” the chicken! It always turns out so darned good considering just how really simple it is. We make it a lot. The chicken can be done in the oven at 425 F until juices run clear. If you […]
You could roast the pork in the oven or, my preferred method, on the barbecue. The pork can be used not only as part of an Asian meal but sliced and served as an appetizer, cut up for fried rice or fried Chinese noodles. I have also julienned the pork and filled wonton cups with […]
We love this chicken! Whiffs of a Mediterranean summer, fragrant with the scents of lemon and fresh oregano. I have used chicken wings too and made small kebabs with chicken breast to use as an appetizer. It is particularly good on the barbecue but then what isn’t? Oh and did I mention easy? Increase recipe […]
I make these peppers all the time in the summer. Everybody loves them. Even when I think I have made too many, there are usually no leftovers! Darn! I like serving them with marinated artichokes or zucchini, cheeses, Proscuitto and salami, slices of Italian bread or baguettes for a nice light meal on a hot […]
There is a very good reason why charred/roasted peppers are so popular; they are utterly delicious and can be used in so many ways! Roast peppers over gas flame if you have a gas stove (use long tongs to hold and turn peppers until the skins are blackened; place in a glass bowl; cover with […]
