Prepare the barbecue for direct cooking over high heat (250°C-290°C).
Brush the cooking grills clean with a wire brush. Grill the whole spring onions over direct high heat, with the lid closed, until the outer layers are blackened and charred, approximately 5 minutes, turning once. While the spring onions are cooking, place the lemon halves, cut side down onto the cooking grill and grill over direct high heat for 2 minutes or until caramelised.
Once cool enough to handle, peel most of the blackened outer layers off the spring onions and discard. It is okay if there are small amounts of charred parts left behind. Cut away the root end and fibrous dark green end to leave behind soft, caramelised spring onion. Finely chop the spring onion and add to a bowl. Juice the lemon halves into the bowl. Finely chop 2 tablespoons of wakame. Add the soy sauce, sesame oil and chopped wakame to the bowl. Mix to combine and taste, adjusting the flavours if you desire.
Top your freshly shucked oysters with a teaspoon of the spring onion and wakame dressing. Garnish with a couple strands of wakame and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
Prepare the barbecue for direct cooking over high heat (250°C-290°C).
Pour the ginger beer into a small Weber Ware Frying Pan and place the pan onto the barbecue. Simmer the ginger beer over direct high heat for 10 minutes or until it has started to reduce.
Brush the cooking grills clean with a wire brush. Grill the strawberries over direct high heat, with the lid closed, for 4 minutes, turning once or twice. Once the strawberries have nice grill marks, add them to the frying pan along with the chopped uncrystallised ginger. Continue to simmer for a further 10 to 15 minutes or until the ginger beer has become syrupy.
Pour the jam into a bowl and mash the strawberries with a fork. Wash the frying pan to refresh it. Prepare the barbecue for indirect cooking over medium heat (190°C-230°C- roasting setting).
In a large bowl sift together the flour and salt. Make a well in the centre and add the ginger beer and cream. Use a flat-blade knife to mix together the ingredients until just combined. Turn the mixture out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until just smooth. This will take only a couple of minutes, so do not over knead or the scones will become tough. Using your hands, flatten the dough to a 1.5 to 2cm thickness.
Dip a 5cm-diameter scone cutter in flour (If you don’t have a cutter you can use a glass). Using the round cutter, cut out the scones. Combine the leftover dough into a ball, flatten to a 1.5 to 2cm thickness, and cut out a total of 6 scones.
Place the scones into a small Weber Ware Frying Pan, 1 cm apart. Using a pastry brush, brush the scones with the milk.
Bake the scones over indirect medium heat, with the lid closed, for 10 to 15 minutes or until risen and the tops are golden. Remove from the barbecue and allow to cool slightly. Serve with grilled strawberry jam and whipped/dollop cream.
Uncrystallised ginger is the same as crystallised ginger, although crystallised ginger has been coated in extra sugar. Either will work for this recipe, however the extra sweetness is not needed.
This recipe is designed for a small Weber Frying Pan. This recipe can be doubled to make 12 scones to fit in a large Weber Frying Pan.
Prepare the barbecue for direct cooking over high heat (250°C-290°C). Preheat the barbecue with a Weber casserole dish (without the lid).
While the barbecue is preheating, Clean and quarter the crab(s). Save the crab tomalley if desired. Crack the claws slightly to allow even cooking and for the flavours to reach the meat. View our grill skill on how to clean and quarter a crab.
Once the casserole dish has preheated, add the peanut oil, shallots, garlic, red chillies, lemongrass and ginger to the dish. Cook over direct high heat, with the lid closed, for 5 minutes or until the shallots and garlic have turned translucent, stirring occasionally.
Add the sweet chilli sauce, tomato sauce, tomato paste, chicken stock and soy sauce to the casserole dish. Simmer for 5 minutes. While the sauce is cooking, add the crab pieces to the cooking grill, around the casserole dish over direct heat, and cook for 5 minutes, turning once or twice until the shells have just turned orange.
Add the crab to the casserole dish and toss the crab gently through the sauce to coat it. Cook for a further 5 to 10 minutes or until the crab has fully cooked through.
Remove the crab from the casserole dish and place onto a plate. Add the crab tomalley to the casserole dish (if desired), stir and cook for a further 2 minutes. Remove the casserole dish from the barbecue, add the egg to the dish and whisk through (use a plastic or silicone whisk so you don’t damage your casserole dish). Taste the sauce and adjust to your personal taste.
Spoon half of the sauce onto your serving platter, place your crab on to the platter, top with more sauce and garnish with spring onion.
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.
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.
