BBQ Recipes

It was impromptu BBQ time. Mr Rutherford had SMS’d me at 10am to organise a BBQ at 5pm on the same day. Yep I’ll grab that challenge by the balls. And because of that dear friends you get 5 more BBQ Recipes. Seriously so very simple. All you need to do is whack these ingredients in a zip-lock bag about 5 hours before your BBQ, and you are done. It really is that simple.

Just to remind you. Throw all the following in to zip-lock bags, and when you are ready simply BBQ them to your preference of done-ness. Here we go with BBQ recipes.

Beef short rib, 4 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce, 2 tablespoons of finely chopped garlic and a good pinch of sea salt and cracked black pepper.

Roasted carrots, 2 tablespoons of finely chopped garlic, 2 tablespoons of finely chopped ginger, a knob of butter and a good pinch of sea salt and cracked black pepper. To cook these I left them in some silver foil and put them on the BBQ. Delicious!!!

Steamed fish with lemon, I used a sea bass, score the skin with some cuts, and on both sides add some slices of lemon, a drizzle of olive oil, and a good pinch of sea salt and cracked black pepper. Cover in a silver foil blanket and steam on the BBQ. You will end up with the most moist and flavoursome fish ever. It’s a cracker!!!

Pork with Pitta, toast pitta breads and place on top the following; Greek yoghurt with a cup of chopped mint and 2 lemon’s juice mixed together, some roughly chopped iceberg lettuce, and some marmite pork. Marinade a pork loin in 2 tablespoons of marmite, 2 tablespoons of honey and a good pinch of sea salt and cracked black pepper.

Roasted tomahawks, so simple. Give each tomahawk a bloody good sprinkle of sea salt and cracked black pepper on both sides. That is that, slow roast on the edge of the BBQ until it is spongy like a baby bum. Cover with a towel for 20 minutes and then slice up. You will have meat like the picture above, medium rare of sorts. It was INCREDIBLE meat. Thanks to Rutherford for bringing the steak up from Australia. Belters mate, belters!!!

So folks it was another roaring success with 6 new BBQ recipes  for your consideration. I have to say it must have been good because I plated it, popped it on the table and it was GONE. Sophia and Freya Rutherford are likely best placed to comment as they were front and centre devouring this, it seemed without breathing for about 15 minutes. Have a crack. I am very proud of these ones, they were very good indeed – ENJOY!!!

Father of 3. All my kids are mixed, with English-Japanese, and English-Filipino - a recipe in the making there. I have been cooking since a small lad, as guided by my Nan and my Mum - gradually that morphed through exposure to Thai cooking from a lovely lady called Da in Margate. I used to hang out in her restaurant and watch the techniques. So the 1+1= greater than 2 occurred - Mum/Nan/Da - off I went in to the world of Asian cuisine. Moving to Asia in early 2000's clearly has brought that on somewhat - we travel continually, and eat locally and therefore have exposure to more and more new things. I have lived my dream and written a cook book whilst here, an amazing experience and all for a good cause too as I raised a lot of money for charity. My blog is now hopefully turning in to book number 2. Watch this space. I hope you enjoy my passion.
