Summer Recipes
Summer of love
Cooking outdoors on the EGG is a year-round pursuit, but gathering to dine outdoors is what makes the summer so special. This is the time for long, lazy days of alfresco entertaining, for large cuts and whole fish ready to share, for seasonal salads in big wooden bowls, for flavour-packed Mediterranean vegetables and lashings of olive oil.
Here are some fantastic summer recipes to get you started.
Rotisserie Chicken
A pair of whole chickens rotating spectacularly over the coals, resulting in crispy skin and juicy meat, perfect with a selection of summer salads.
Ratatouille
A Provençal classic: sun-drenched Mediterranean vegetables baked into a state of melting softness in a generous quantity of olive oil.
Reverse Seared Picanha
A hot blast of Rio sunshine in your garden: a richly flavoured cut of beef loved by Brazilians, roasted then reverse seared for perfect caramelisation.
Plank Cooked Mackerel with Chermoula and Moroccan Beets
Butterflied mackerel stuffed with a punchy North African sauce and gently smoked on an Alder Cooking Plank, served with dirty cooked baby beets.
Low & Slow Pork Shoulder
One of the all-time barbecue classics: authentic pulled pork, cooked low & slow for hours on end, with a little added smoke.
Clafoutis
A juicy, fluffy, wonderfully easy dessert, great for exploiting the glorious glut of English cherries in the high summer months.
