Dust off the grills, Tuesday is the big BBQ day for the Taiwanese.
Anyone want to share some of their favorite recipes?
Here’s one of mine:
BBQ Chicken Wings
24 hours before make a brine
1 gallon water
1 1/2 cups salt
2 cloves minced garlic
4 cloves minced shallots
3 tablespoons vinegar
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon 5 spice powder
1 tablespoon toasted cumin seeds
3 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon tarragon
Add the wings and keep in the fridge.
1/2 hour or so before cooking drain and pat dry.
Put a pound or so of wings and a pound or so of drummettes
into a gallon zip lock bag and add the marinade.
Reserve the marinade to use as a mop while grilling.
Make a big foil packet. Put a whole fish in, along with a can of coconut milk mixed with a pack of red curry paste, loads of chopped scallions and fresh ginger. Seal it up. Throw it on the barbie for 10-15 mins.
Or do the same except with white wine, butter, chopped up lemon and fresh herbs.
Chicken wings (about 20)
Lime juice (3-4 limes)
Salt
Pepper
Olive Oil (a big blop)
Chopped garlic (3-4 cloves)
Tabasco to taste
Big handful of whatever fresh herbs you can get basil, corander, parsley…whatever you can get your hands on roughly chopped
Mix in bowl and grill over hot coals and nibble while holding cold beer and waiting for the rest to get cook.
I could tell you dry-rubbed, smoked pork shoulder with dipping sauce recipie, but I’d have to kill you.
