Ideas for your next barbecue

[MoonshineBen]

Hey all - what is everyone cooking up this weekend? I'm thinking it's ribs, probably pork, although lamb ribs are pretty on point to smoke at the moment.

What's on your grill or smoker?

Had a decent cookup Sunday night after going to the Wildcats final (which was insane to see them win their 8th championship!)

Asian style chicken strip burgers for the ladies and kids, smoked and spiced beef and bacon burgers (using Gusface Grillah's specialty burger mince) for the gents. Sides of jalapeno poppers (recipe above), fire roasted corn, mac n cheese, salad and for something different some super tasty marrow tubes. Spread some on your burger bun and thank me later

Cherry smoked marrow tubes with simple S&P, lemon butter drizzle and chopped basil.

Thanks @ProjectPete. I hadn't thought of adding pineapple. Will give that a go.

Veeeery nice

Last night I marinated some prawns in lime juice, corriander, lemongrass, ginger and chilli. Then barbecued them quickly and popped them on some soft shelled tacos with a crunchy coleslaw and perinaise. So yummy. 

Anyone got plans to fire up the barbie on the weekend?

Just picked lots of jalepenos so will have poppers tonight for entre and pulled pork sliders for main course. 

What's everyone else cooking this weekend?

@Jason, I've got a cracking popper recipe for you.., http://moonshinebbq.com.au/bacon-wrapped-jalapenos/

I cooked up some beef cheeks today. Amazing.

[Jason]

Those beef cheeks look amazing @MoonshineBen. Thanks for sharing.

I will have to try your jalepeno popper recipe next time. I did wrap mine in bacon this time but just used a cream cheese filling. The addition of chorizo would be amazing. And using a piping bag sounds wise - I've been just using a spoon which is a little fiddly and messy!

How's the preparation for Meatstock Sydney in May @MoonshineBen? I saw that the Melbourne event was on the weekend. What are you planning to cook?

Jason

[MoonshineBen]

It's all happening in preparation.

We're cooking across all categories, so will be cranking out chicken, pork ribs, pork shoulder, beef cheeks and lamb shoulder across the 2 days.

This was our chicken from yesterday 

Final practice this weekend, and then onto the comp in 10 days time!

[Jason]

How did your final practice on the weekend go @MoonshineBen? 

Good luck in the comp.
