This is our new favourite way to grill fish fillets. Rolling the fillets into a pinwheel increases the thickness of the fish, so you can cook the fish longer on each side, resulting in deep caramelised grill marks. The fish releases easily from the grill, there’s less risk of overcooking plus the fish stays juicer. Customise the flavours

Ingredients

2 white fish fillets approx. 150g each e.g. nannygai, snapper, flathead
1 clove of garlic, finely chopped
8 mint leaves, finely chopped
1 l lemon, zested and halved
1 tbsp tablespoon olive oil
½ tsp teaspoon salt
¼ tsp teaspoon pepper
GRILLED FENNEL AND RADISH SALAD
1 fennel bulb
2 tsp teaspoons olive oil
½ tsp teaspoon sea salt
¼ tsp teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 radishes, thinly sliced
10 mint leaves, finely chopped
1 tsp teaspoon capers, roughly chopped

Directions

If you are using wooden skewers, soak in water for 30 minutes.

For the fennel and radish salad; Cut the fennel into wedges, add the fennel to a medium bowl and coat with olive oil, salt and pepper. Save the small fronds to add to the salad later.

Prepare the barbecue for direct cooking over medium-high heat (210°C-250°C).

Slice the fish fillets into 3cm wide strips (approximately 2 strips per fillet). In a large bowl combine the garlic, mint, zest from a lemon, olive oil, salt and pepper. Add the fish fillets and toss to coat. Tightly roll up each piece of fish into a pinwheel shape and secure with two wooden skewers in a ‘X’ shape.

Brush the cooking grills clean with a wire brush. Grill the fennel wedges over direct medium-high heat, with the lid closed, until caramelised on both sides, approximately 3 minutes per side. Set aside once cooked.

Grill the fish pinwheels over direct medium-high heat, with the lid closed, for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until deeply golden or cooked to your liking. Remove the fish from the barbecue and leave to rest for a couple of minutes. While the fish is cooking, place a halved lemon, cut side down onto the cooking grill to sear for 2 minutes.

Assemble the salad with the grilled fennel, sliced radish, chopped radish and capers, small fennel fronds. Drizzle the salad with ½ of the caramelised lemon. Remove the wooden skewers from the fish pinwheels. Serve the fish with the salad and the additional caramelised lemon half.

Tips:

The final recommended doneness temperature for white fish is 54°C. Keep in mind the internal temperature will continue to rise 3°C to 6°C while it is resting.

Barbecuing the best beef burger doesn’t have to be complicated. Start with good quality beef mince. Our top pick is coarsely minced chuck, it has the perfect meat to fat ratio (80% meat and 20% fat). Customise it with your favourite fillings, your favourite burger sauce and of course pickles are optional.

Whiting is a beautiful, delicate fish. It can be cooked directly on a very hot cooking grill, alternatively if you’re looking for a guaranteed easy method, cook the fillets in a frying pan. As they are so thin you only need to cook them on one side.

Ingredients

6 whiting fillets, cleaned and deboned
3 tsp teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tsp teaspoon sea salt
½ tsp teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 l lemon

Directions

Prepare the barbecue for direct cooking over medium-high heat (210°C-250°C) with a large Weber Ware frying pan.

Prepare your barbecue for direct cooking over medium-high heat (210°C-250°C) with a large Weber Ware frying pan. If you are using a Weber Pulse, preheat your barbecue with the lid closed and your control knob(s) on high for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the barbecue reaches 290°C.

Lightly coat the fillets with olive oil, salt and pepper. Cut the lemon in half.

Once the barbecue and frying pan has preheated, add the whiting fillets to the pan, skin side down. Cook the fillets over direct medium-high heat, with the lid closed, for 2 minutes, until the skin is lightly coloured golden and the flesh is just cooked through, there is no need to flip the fillets. While the fish is cooking, grill the lemon halves, cut side down for 2 minutes, or until caramelised

Squeeze the caramelised lemon over the fillets and serve immediately.

Butterflying a chicken does speed up the cooking time, but the best part is that you can flip the chicken over skin side down, to finish cooking. The skin has direct contact with the warm cooking grill, turning the skin deep golden, crispy and delicious.

Ingredients

2 kg kilograms butterflied chicken (see tip 1)
2 tsp teaspoons olive oil
5 tsp teaspoons Weber Barbecue Seasoning

Directions

Prepare the barbecue for direct cooking over medium heat (180°C-230°C).

Lightly coat the chicken all over with the olive oil and Weber Seasoning.

Once the barbecue has preheated, brush the cooking grills clean with a wire brush. Place the chicken onto the cooking grill, cavity side down (see tip 2). Grill the chicken over direct medium heat, with the lid closed for 40 minutes.

Once the chicken has cooked for 40 minutes, using a spatula and tongs, flip the chicken over, and continue to cook, skin side down for a further 15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. To check doneness, insert an instant read thermometer into the thickest part of the breast (not touching bone), ensure that it registers 71°C. Remove the chicken from the barbecue and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes, where the temperature of the chicken will continue to rise to 74°C (the safe doneness temperature for poultry).

Once the chicken has rested and reached the safe doneness temperature you can carve the chicken and serve.

Tip 1:

A quick and efficient method to cooking a whole chicken is to butterfly it. Firstly, remove any excess fat, typically just inside the cavity. Turn the chicken over so it is breast side down. Face the chicken with the tail end closest to you. Using sharp kitchen scissors or poultry sheers, cut along both sides of the back-bone, remove and discard it. Turn the chicken back over, skin side up, and press down on the breastbone to flatten. If not already done, tuck the wing tips behind, under the chicken.

Tip 2:

It is important to cook the chicken with the cavity flat on the cooking grill as the bones will protect the meat when cooking over direct heat for the long period.

Lightly coat the beef bones, onion, garlic bulb and carrot with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Once the barbecue has preheated, roast the beef bones, onion, garlic and carrot over indirect medium heat, with the lid closed, for 30 to 45 minutes or until the ingredients have turned golden on the edges.

In a large stock pot, add the 5L water, celery, bay leaves, 2 sprigs of rosemary, peppercorns, apple cider vinegar and the roasted beef bones, onion, garlic and carrot. On a barbecue side burner or stove top simmer for 2 ½ hours, skimming any impurities off the top as the stock simmers.

Once the stock has simmered and heavily reduced. Strain the stock, discard the solids and pour the liquid into a smaller saucepan. Simmer the stock for a further 30 minutes to reduce the liquid down to approximately 500mL.

In a small bowl mix together the cornflour and 4 tablespoons of water, mix to fully combine. Add the cornflour mixture and the remaining 2 stalks of rosemary to the gravy and simmer until thickened. Finally taste the gravy, slowly adding the soy sauce, tasting as you add the soy sauce, until the gravy is seasoned to your liking. Remove from the heat and serve.

Tender, flavoursome lamb with a mix of tasty grilled sides; blistered cherry tomatoes, smoky olives, grilled flatbreads and a seriously delicious grilled eggplant Baba Ganoush!

Ingredients

600 g grams Lamb Rump Steak
Extra-virgin olive oil
4 tsp teaspoons Weber Greek Seasoning
¾ cup cup mixed olives
1 punnet vine-ripened cherry tomatoes
3 pita breads
3 l lemons, cut in half
Fresh parsley leaves, to garnish
BABA GANOUSH
2 eggplants (globe or Italian)
1 garlic clove, peeled
10 ½ l lemon juice (from caramelising lemons)
10 ½ tbsp tablespoons tahini
½ tsp teaspoon cumin
1 tsp teaspoon sea salt

Directions

Prepare the barbecue for direct cooking over medium-high heat (210°C-250°C). Place a small, perforated Weber grill pan on the cooking grill to preheat.

Lightly coat the lamb and cherry tomatoes with olive oil, sprinkle the Weber Greek Seasoning over the lamb and cherry tomatoes.

Once the barbecue has preheated, brush the cooking grills clean with a wire brush. Grill the eggplants over direct medium-high heat, with the lid closed, for 16 minutes, or until the skin has blackened and the eggplant has softened (but not collapsed), turning occasionally.

Once the eggplants have charred, remove from the barbecue and set aside to cool slightly. Grill the lamb steaks and cherry tomatoes over direct medium-high heat for 4 minutes, flipping once halfway through the cooking time. Add the olives to the grill pan and grill for 4 minutes stirring once or twice; cook until the olives have a little caramelisation. Grill the lemons, cut side down for 2 minutes, or until caramelised.

While the lamb is cooking, cut the eggplants in half and scoop the inner flesh into a sieve, over a bowl. Using a spoon, mix the eggplant flesh around so that some liquid drains away. Place the eggplant into a blender with the rest of the Baba Ganoush ingredients. Juice the caramelised lemon to get 2 ½ tablespoons of juice and add to the blender. Save any left-over lemons to serve. Blitz until smooth. Spoon into a serving dish, drizzle with olive oil and top with a little sprinkle of the Greek Seasoning.

Remove the lamb, tomatoes, olives from the grill once cooked to your liking.

Grill the flatbreads for one minute per side. Keep the toasted flatbreads warm in aluminium foil until ready to serve. Slice the lamb.

Arrange the lamb, cherry tomatoes, grilled olives, spare caramelised lemon and flatbreads onto a serving platter. Garnish with fresh parsley. Serve with the Baba Ganoush.
