BBQ/Grilling Cookbooks


 
DH just spent the last hour going through the book and so far has 5 recipes marked that he wants to make.

I also found out that a recipe for a rub I posted the other day came from this book,
 
This rub

STEVEN RAICHLEN-PROJECT SMOKE

5-4-3-2-1 Asian Barbecue Rub

5 TB. turbinado sugar or dark brown sugar
4 TB. coarse salt (kosher or sea)
3 TB. freshly ground black pepper
2 TB. Chinese five-spice powder
1 TB. onion powder

This will give you more rub than you need for 2 racks of spareribs or 4 racks
of baby backs. Makes about 1 cup
 
I just did the Baby Back Ribs with Cherry Beer Barbecue sauce from Raichlen's " Ribs, Ribs, Outrageous Ribs " . Posted pics in the Photo Gallery

It does not have a rub. He marinates the rack for 4 to 6 hours

Marinade , after he says to generously season with S/P .

a 12 oz bottle of Kriek Lambic cherry beer, which I thought was closer to champagne than a beer. Was every effervescent and bubbly.
Onion
Garlic
Bay Leaves
All Spice Berries
Whole peppercorns

And he sauces the ribs at the end of the cook with his Cherry Lambic Barbecue Sauce. This makes about 3 cups of a very sweet, sticky, sauce.

2 TBS unsalted butter
3 shallots or one medium sized onion, finely chopped
2 cups of cherries or 3/4 cup dried cherries
12 oz of lambic cherry beer
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup ACV
6 TBS brown sugar or more to taste
2 TBS honey
1/4 cup cherry preserves
1.5 TBS of worcestershire
Course salt and freshly ground black pepper

He has a cherry baby back rib recipe on-line at the Barbecue Bible, but its not the same as this one. I found it after I'd already sourced the ingredients for the beer ribs and was committed.

Cherry-Glazed Baby Back Ribs With Cherry Barbecue Sauce​

 
Lynn, you did a great job of condensing 4 1/2 pages of the book down to the above recipe. Thanks for the recommendation. You didn't say, but I gather you enjoyed them? But, how much of these?

Onion
Garlic
Bay Leaves
All Spice Berries
Whole peppercorns
 
Yep, I had to leave a lot out, I was already afraid of TL.DR , and I can be long winded.

1 Onion, thinly sliced
5 cloves of Garlic, peeled and gently crushed with the side of a cleaver
2 Bay Leaves
4 All Spice Berries
10 Whole peppercorns

and to spritz, 1/2 cup of cherry juice or cherry cider in a spray bottle.

And they were very good. The sauce was very sweet and sticky, with the brown sugar, cherries, honey, and cherry preserves. And the Lambic cherry beer did flavor the ribs, though it cost $6 a bottle and I used two. I don't know if I would do this again, as I liked the Tuffy Stone cherry ribs better. But that's the only reason and this recipe was interesting. I've not ever smoked a rack of ribs that did not have a rub.

Got a little side tracked there for a while. So, I just gave DH the book to find us a good recipe to use from it. So far, he has found 2 recipes that he wants to make real soon. Whoopeee!!!!! 1)Grilled Eggs With Prosciutto and Parmesan 2)Breakfast "Burgers".

YES, it is going to be very hard to decide which one to make first.

Note: Deleted #3 and 4, now it won't be too hard to decide. lol

Anne, nice collection. So far I think the Raichlen books are the only ones I have. Most of my Asian ones are still in the bedroom, waiting for me to make room for them out here in my office with the rest of my books. One or two of yours look familiar. lol
 
Anne, would love to see more recipes from this book by Mike Mills. I have a copy of 2 of his recipes, Mike Mill's Magic Dust and Apple City Barbecue Sauce that I got out of one of my cooking mag. some years ago. Ever try them?

I'll check, but if I remember correct, I found the book a bit difficult to get into.
Don't know why....

I forgot, I also got a lot of books on my kindle. Every now and again, something nice comes up at the "daily deal" on amazon.co.uk.
Got a lot about baking bread, pickling, Indian, Thai, Vietnamese, Malaysian cooking, pizza, meat, brewing and bbq and grilling.
Most of Weber's, some more Raichlen,fire & smoke, berber-q, grill stock, myron mixon.
Now you got me typing a whole lot anyway :)

And yes, I love books. Still prefer a book-book, over a kindle book, but availability and prices here make the kindle a good alternative
