We may all be wrapping up football season, but that doesn’t mean we have to wrap up tailgate food! I love this recipe because a good deal of it can be done ahead of time and stored in the fridge until you’re ready to party! You may have seen something like this floating around the internet. There have been some fried versions out there that have gone a bit viral, but you know that we had to give it a BBQ twist! It’s the fire from a hot grill and the BBQ sauce glaze that set this one apart. If you’re a fan of The Sauce, we’ll bet you prefer the grilled version as well!
Chef Tom breaks down an incredibly simple recipe for guacamole that takes the jalapeños out to the grill for some color and flavor before mixing everything up in a zip top bag.
I mean, the title of the recipe tells you everything you need to know to want to COOK THIS NOW! And the fact that the marinade also has a jalapeño kick is a bonus! This one is super easy and only requires a handful of ingredients, and I promise it’ll make for some killer fajitas!
If there is one thing as popular as smoked meats here at All Things Barbecue, it’s peppers. It’s not an accident that we stock the store with all kinds of chile-centric marinades, rubs, sauces, glazes, salsas and more. Our love for all things peppers is why we keep tinkering with jalapeño popper recipes. This time we’ve managed to jam more green chile into this green chile than ever before.
Chef Tom takes a classic Mexican street food and puts a twist on it by using a quesadilla as a bun for our bacon wrapped Creekstone Farms Uncured Pork Franks. Topped with chipotle mayo, avocado, cotija cheese and some jalapeños.
If you like spicy and you like fried chicken, then Nashville Hot Chicken should be right up your alley. Despite its popularity in the Music City, there is much left to the imagination when it comes to creating it yourself. There doesn’t seem to be a hot chicken joint in town that’s willing to part with its recipes or signature techniques. Lucky for you guys, we’re not in the habit of keeping secrets. After some research and tweaking, we’ve come up with a recipe and technique adapted to the grill that, at the very least, is likely going to make you sweat.
A couple of weeks ago we talked about what a great ingredient puff pastry is to have on hand, and how its uses go beyond breakfast and dessert items. This week we’re back with another great puff pastry recipe, and we’re going savory again. You BBQ enthusiasts are probably familiar with ABTs, the barbecuer’s take on jalapeño poppers. We’re tweaking those ideas a little more for this flaky, creamy, chile-centric appetizer.
We use chile peppers year round. Anaheims, Poblanos and Jalapeños are staples in the test kitchen here at All Things BBQ. But this is a special time of year. Hatch chiles and Pueblos offer wonderful flavor and varying levels of heat, and they’re currently flowing out of the Southwest. Their harvest season doesn’t last all year, due to their specific geographic location, so it’s a good idea to process and preserve the chiles in some way so that you can enjoy them for months to come.
When our friends at Cattleman’s Grill asked us to come up with a killer steak sandwich recipe it was a no-brainer. We use the Cattleman’s Grill rubs more than any other when it comes to grilling steaks around here. This recipe is built around the earthy flavors of their Smoky Chipotle Coffee Steak Rub. The coffee flavor works great with the smoky spice of the chipotle, which we’ve amped up with the steak marinade and the aioli on the sandwich.
We hear that there is a thing called “Left over pulled pork”. We didn’t even know those words could be used together without the word “No” in front of it. Anyway if you have some of this delicacy around, we have a way to put it to good use.
This grilled roast beef uses the traditional flavors along with Butcher BBQ Prime Dust to take over the top. The horseradish Creme Fraiche is great on prime rib too.
Chef Tom's Santa Maria Tri-tip Tacos recipe is a favorite with the ATBBQ crew. Smoked Salsa and Pickled Red Onions topped with Avacado Crema top off this great taco.
