Paul West says "Roasting a big free-range cook adds to the sense of occasion when entertaining." Butterflying your chicken also increases the surface exposed to direct heat, making sure every member of the family gets a piece of crispy, delicious chicken on their plate!

Pork belly burnt ends are one of my favorite recipes for grill season. Thick, juicy pork belly grilled low and slow, first in a savory dry rub and then in a rich BBQ sauce, for a heavenly, smokey flavor you won&#039;t be able to get enough of.

Pork Belly Burnt Ends on the Grill

chili powder

brown sugar (see Notes)

smoked paprika

onion powder

salt

BBQ sauce of choice

butter

pork belly (non-salted, skin removed)

olive oil (or other neutral oil)

Set up charcoal grill for low, indirect heat, between 225° Fahrenheit to 250° Fahrenheit.

Add all ingredients for dry rub to small bowl. Mix thoroughly and set aside.

Place pork belly on cutting board. Using sharp knife, cut pork belly into roughly 1.5-inch cubes.

Transfer pork belly cubes to large bowl.  Add olive oil and toss or stir to coat cubes thoroughly. Add dry rub and toss or stir again.

Transfer seasoned pork belly cubes to grill, placing directly on bare wire rack over indirect heat. Grill approximately 2 ½ hours, until meat is dark red.

Remove meat from grill and place in disposable aluminum pan. Add ingredients for BBQ glaze to pan and stir all ingredients until cubes are thoroughly coated.

Cover pan with aluminum foil and place pan on wire rack in grill. Grill additional 2 hours, or until pork belly reaches internal temperature of 200° Fahrenheit. Remove from grill and serve immediately with desired sides.

These beef back ribs are insanely juicy and flavorful! Baked in the oven until fall-off-the-bone tender, this foolproof recipe yields perfectly cooked ribs every time. Finish these oven baked beef back ribs with a slathering of your favorite barbecue sauce and enjoy!

Beef Back Ribs in the Oven

Mix all dry rub ingredients together in small bowl, then sprinkle evenly over ribs.

Place ribs on foil-lined baking sheet, bone-side up. Cover with another sheet of foil and wrap edges of foil sheets tightly around ribs. Place baking sheet in oven and bake ribs bone-side up for 4 hours.

Remove ribs from oven. Unwrap and discard aluminum foil, drain fat, then return ribs to baking sheet with bone side facing down. Brush with barbecue sauce.

Set oven to high broil and broil ribs for 3-5 minutes or until crispy and caramelized. Remove from oven carefully and serve warm.

This is based on a recipe from an old Italian friend who always added this to her antipasto spread during zucchini season.

Fried zucchini, mint and chilli salad with taramasalata and bottarga

zucchini (use white, green

juice of ½ lemon

salt flakes and freshly groundblack pepper

mint leaves, torn

parsley leaves,roughly chopped

tsp dried chili flakes

white taramasalata

pistachio kernels, chopped

¼ lobe of bottarga*

Halve zucchinis lengthways, then cut into 1cm-thick slices.

Combine the 60ml oil and lemon juice and set aside.

Preheat 4cm of oil in a large frying pan or deep pot over high heat for about 4 minutes. Cook the zucchini in four batches for 4–5 minutes until golden, then drain on kitchen paper, seasoning with the salt flakes and pepper as they come out of the oil.

Once the zucchini has cooled a little, add to a bowl with the mint, parsley and chilli. Toss to combine.

Spread the taramasalata onto a platter and drop the zucchini on top. Pour over the lemon dressing, sprinkle over the pistachios, then finely grate the bottarga over the top.

Baked in the oven until fall-off-the-bone tender, this foolproof recipe yields perfectly cooked ribs every time.

BBQ sauce (see Notes)

Preheat oven to 275° Fahrenheit. Line baking sheet with sheet of aluminum foil and set aside. Place 4 pounds beef back ribs on cutting board.

Add 2 teaspoons smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper to small mixing bowl. Mix until ingredients are well blended, then cover ribs with dry rub on all sides.

Place seasoned ribs on foil-lined baking sheet, bone-side up. Cover ribs with second sheet of foil and wrap edges of foil sheets tightly to seal foil around ribs. Note: see video below if unsure how to cover ribs.

Place baking sheet in oven and bake ribs bone-side up for 4 hours.

After 4 hours, remove ribs from oven. Unwrap ribs and discard aluminum foil. Drain any remaining fat from baking sheet, then return ribs to baking sheet with bone side facing down.

Brush ½ cup BBQ sauce on ribs, coating ribs thoroughly on all sides.

Set broiler to High. Place baking sheet approximately 6 inches below broiler and broil 3 to 5 minutes, or until skin of ribs is crispy and caramelized.

Carefully remove baking sheet from oven. Divide ribs into preferred portions and serve warm with desired sides.
