Texas-style BBQ | 21st June

The most well-known dishes in Texas-style BBQ are Pork ribs, Beef brisket and meat sausage. Texas-style usually refers to the way the dishes are prepared; smoked over wood, the smoke acting like a seasoning. Done right, the smoke and 'low and slow' method of cooking, transforms ordinary, tough cuts of meat to a thing of taste-perfection to be eaten as is or used in multiple dishes.

In the UK we tend to use Apple, Beech, Cherry, Oak and Hickory, each wood providing different smoke flavour to different meats. The best bit is experimenting!

My Texas-style BBQ class will include some or all of these dishes alongside smoked Turkey Crown (you will never cook your Christmas turkey in the oven again), chicken wings, blackened fish, veggies and sides such as; spiced potatoes, US-Style Cheddar ‘biscuits’, jalapeno slaw, Burnt End nachos, even puddings will be cooked on the BBQ.

What you will learn

You'll learn the art of preparing, seasoning and cooking various meats, fish and veggies. You'll practice techniques, such as reverse-searing, pulling meat and how to control fire and smoke. You'll make dishes that you never thought could be cooked on the BBQ! I will guide you through every step of the process, and there'll be plenty of samples along the way!

There will be rub and sauce recipes for you to try and take home, as well as trying out all the different Grills. You will leave the course more knowledgeable and confident in your outdoor cooking skills.
