Afterburner Lamb Tikka

Afterburner Lamb Tikka

Afterburner Lamb Tikka

  • Prep Time2 hr
  • Cook Time15 min
  • Total Time2 hr 15 min
  • Yield4 Servings

Ingredients

For the Lamb Tikka

  • 500g thinly cut lamb leg steaks
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp crushed chilli (adjust to suit)
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 1 inch ginger, peeled
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 4 Tbs plain yogurt

Method

Preparing the Lamb Tikka

1

Grind the marinade ingredients in a pestle and mortar to make a paste then mix with the plain yogurt.

2

Completely coat the lamb and leave in the fridge to marinade for two to four hours.

3

Set up a charcoal chimney starter 3/4 full with lumpwood charcoal, and start it going with a sheet of lit crumpled newspaper underneath (or use parrafin-free fire lighters). Wait 10-15 minutes until it’s screaming hot and place a BBQ grill grate over it.

4

Place the marinated lamb on the searing hot grill grate for a couple of minutes each side, until you develop a lovely char on the outside.

5

Serve with basmati rice, yoghurt, and a naan bread cooked over the coals. The meat stays pink, tender and juicy inside, but has the smoky charred sear of a tandoor.

BBQ Tandoori Chicken

BBQ Chicken Tandoori

BBQ Tandoori Chicken

  • Prep Time30 min
  • Cook Time30 min
  • Total Time1 hr
  • Yield4 Servings

Ingredients

For the BBQ Tandoori Chicken

  • 8-10 free range chicken thighs, skinned and boned

For the Marinade

  • Juice of two lemons
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 3 Tbs vegetable oil
  • 6 cloves garlic – smashed into a paste
  • 1 two-inch piece of ginger – smashed
  • into a paste
  • 1 Tbs (or more) red hot chilli powder
  • 2 Tbs cumin seeds
  • 2 TBs coriander seeds

For the Sauce

  • 2 tins (800ml) chopped tomatoes
  • 3 bay leaves
  • 5 cloves garlic – smashed
  • 1 inch piece of ginger – finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon cardamom seeds
  • 4 cloves – crushed
  • 1 Tbs red chilli powder
  • 1 Tbs dried fenugreek leaves
  • 1 tsp garam masala

Method

Preparing the BBQ Tandoori Chicken

1

To prepare the chicken for the marinade, make shallow slits in each piece of chicken. This will help the chicken to marinate and cook more evenly. Pour the lemon juice over the chicken pieces along with the salt and rub deep into the flesh.

2

Place the rest of the marinade ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Pour the marinade over the chicken pieces and rub it in well. Cover and allow to marinade in the fridge as long as possible up to 48 hours.

3

To cook the sauce, put the chopped tomatoes, bay leaves, garlic, ginger, cardamom seeds and cloves into a large pot and bring to a boil. Simmer for about ten minutes and then remove from the heat to cool a little.

4

Place the tomato combination in a blender and blend for about two minutes until the sauce is very smooth then pour back into the saucepan and bring to a brisk simmer.

5

Add the chilli powder, garam masala, double cream and sugar and then add the butter one tablespoon at a time while stirring continuously (if you are preparing the sauce ahead of time, heat the sauce just before serving and then add the butter).

6

Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste and top with chopped coriander.

7

Rub the marinade off the chicken pieces and skewer them on thick flat skewers with slices of red onion and peppers, place on the red hot BBQ, for about ten minutes until cooked through, with a little charring. Turn each piece several times so that they cook evenly. Be sure to cook through so that the meat reaches an internal temperature of at least 75°C.

8

Place a couple of pieces of chicken each plate and top with the sauce, serve with fresh naan heated on the BBQ or rice.

Green Chicken Kebabs

Rich Harris (Fire & Smoke Author) BBQ Green Chicken Kebabs

  • Prep Time4 hr
  • Cook Time1 min
  • Total Time4 hr 1 min
  • Yield4 Servings

Ingredients

For the Green Chicken Kebabs

  • Finely grated zest of 2 unwaxed lemons and juice of 1
  • 75ml olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, peeled
  • 50g bunch of basil
  • 50g bunch of flat-leaf parsley
  • 25g bunch of coriander
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
  • 4 free-range skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 3cm cubes

Method

Preparing the Green Chicken Kebabs

1

Combine all the ingredients, except the chicken, in a liquidizer and blend until smooth.

2

Put the chicken into a large bowl, pour the marinade over and toss to coat. Don’t season at this stage; the salt will draw the moisture from the chicken and make it tough. Cover with clingfilm and chill for 4 hours or overnight if possible.

3

Remove the chicken from the fridge an hour before cooking and preheat the barbecue for direct grilling.

4

Thread the chicken onto skewers and grill the kebabs for 10 minutes until cooked through, turning occasionally.

5

Transfer to a warm plate to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

You will need metal or wooden skewers; if you’re using wooden skewers, soak them in warm water for at least an hour.

Bloomin’ Vegetable Tart

Bloomin Vegetable Tart

Bloomin’ Vegetable Tart

  • Prep Time40 min
  • Cook Time40 min
  • Total Time1 hr 20 min
  • Yield4 Servings

Ingredients

For the Bloomin’ Vegetable Tart

  • 1 x 320g pack pre-rolled puff pastry
  • 200g cream cheese
  • 50g Sour cream
  • 2 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp chopped fresh thyme
  • 1 Tbs chopped fresh parsley
  • Sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 large green courgette
  • 1 large yellow courgette (if you can find
  • one, otherwise 2 x green courgettes)
  • 1 large carrot, peeled
  • 1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil

Method

Preparing the Bloomin’ Vegetable Tart

1

Set up BBQ for indirect grilling, preheat to 180°C (350°F).

2

Unroll pastry and line a 20cm quiche dish, poke with a fork in several place and use baking beans to blind bake until slightly golden, about 10 minutes, then let cool slightly.

3

In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, Parmesan, lemon juice, thyme and parsley. Season with salt and pepper and beat until mixture is very smooth.

4

Cut the courgettes and carrot in half lengthwise. Lay each vegetable on a cutting board, cut-side down, and thinly slice each vegetable lengthwise into long thick strips, about 2-3mm wide. (You should be able to bend them!) A mandoline is perfect for this but if you don’t have one you may need to use a peeler on the carrots, as cutting them thinly can be difficult.

5

Spread cream cheese mixture on baked pastry. Roll one of the vegetable strips into a tight coil and place it in the centre of the tart. Arrange vegetable slices in tight concentric circles around the middle, alternating colours (if you only have green courgettes, lay every alternate strip with green side down), until the tart is filled. Drizzle the top with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

6

Place in the bbq with a little Silver Birch wood added to the coals for a light tasty smoked flavour. Cook until the vegetables are tender and the crust is a deep golden, 35 to 40 minutes. You may have to turn the tart half way through cooking if the heat is stronger on one side.

7

Serve warm or at room temperature.
