Woodsmoke ‘19 recipes thread

[Thenegativeone]

So, everyone’s home, and everyone has had chance to unpack and reflect on the weekend, new friends made and new food tried!

With that in mind I thought it appropriate to start a thread for all attendees to share and request recipes that were cooked by others over the weekend, I know there’s a couple I want!

Feel free to share or request recipes here, of course, no-one is obliged to share if they don’t want to, I know family recipes etc can be closely guarded secrets and no-one should feel pressured to share anything they don’t want to.

PS: Mods, I hope you don’t mind me starting this thread, please delete or move if you feel this is inappropriate or in the wrong place.

Most of the dishes I made are weber recipes from their books and their website. For instance Chocolate Dream:

Fennel and Gruyere (or Fontina)

3 fennel Bulbs

3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

1/2 tsp. salt

1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper

125g Gruyere or Fontina Cheese

Prep BBQ for direct cooking over medium low heat (300F ish)

Trim fronds of fennel, chop 2 tbsp worth and reserve

 Cut off the thick stalks above the fennel bulbs and save those for another use. 

Cut each bulb into quarters and remove the thick triangular core. Cut the fennel quarters vertically in to 5 mm thick slices.

Pile the fennel off to one side of a sheet of heavy duty foil about 60 cm by 20cm, leaving enough foil to completely cover and envelope the fennel. Pour the oil and lemon over the fennel and season with the salt and pepper. Fold the foil over the fennel and seal the packet tightly so that no liquid can escape

Grill the packet over DIRECT MEDIUM-LOW HEAT for 20 to 25 mins with the lid closed until the fennel is barely tender. Carefully open the pack with tongs and sprinkle the cheese over the fennel. Grill for 2-3 minutes with the foil packet open and the lid on the BBQ until the cheese is melted slightly. Carefully remove the packet from the BBQ and garnish with the reserved chopped fords. Serve warm

Hickory BBQ Chicken

Serves 4

Rub

2 tsp paprika (I used smoked paprika - hot at tailgate)

1/2 tsp garlic granules

1/2 tsp ground black pepper

 

4 whole chicken legs each 300 to 375 g cut into drumsticks and thighs

 

Sauce

240 ml tomato ketchup

4 tbsp cider vinegar

1 tbsp soft light brown sugar

1 tbsp Dijon mustard

2 tsp hot pepper sauce (I used 1tsp ghost pepper sauce and 1 tsp habanero pepper sauce at the national and it was spicy make to your own taste, at home I usually use ancho chilli as it is smokey but no spicy, just warm, as SWMBO does not like hot chilli))

 

Hickory wood chunk (or chips or pellet whatever you like)

 

Mix the rub and season the thighs and drumsticks all over with the rub

Prepare the grill for direct and roasting/indirect cooking over medium heat (350 to 450 F)

Combine the sauce ingredients in a medium saucepan. Bring to simmer over a medium heat and cook for 6-8 mins, stirring occasionally until slightly thickened

Brush the cooking grate clean. Cook the chicken over direct heat skin side down for 6-10 mins with the lid closed as much as possible and turning occasionally until golden brown.

Move the chicken over indirect heat. Add wood/pellets for smoking. Close the lid and continue cooking for about 35 mins until the juices run clear and the meat is opaque all the way to the one (I aim for about 76 78 on the probe some will be in low 80s some a little below, it is fine. They will go up a few degrees when rested). Make sure you baste the chicken with the sauce during the last 20 mins. It will go sticky on the chicken)

Remove from the grill and rest for 3 - 5 min.

Serve warm or room temp with any remaining sauce by the side.
