Vegan Korean BBQ Bowls

Delicious Korean BBQ bowls filled with cabbage slaw, spicy pan-fried tofu, and sauteed broccoli and carrots, this weeknight meal is hearty and delicious. Vegan and Gluten-free! Originally, this Korean Bowl is filled with sweet and sticky Korean BBQ tofu, sautéed broccoli and peppers, and a cilantro-lime slaw for the perfect blend of sweet, citrus, and savory. Traditionally Korean BBQ is a method of marinating and grilling meat. The BBQ marinade is made up of a mixture of soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, garlic, and pepper. In this recipe, I also add ginger and hot sauce for extra flavor. And, of course, instead of meat, I used a plant-based substitute that is MADE FOR MARINADE: tofu. For best results, the tofu should marinate for at least an hour but can marinate overnight. Don’t like tofu? These bowls can be made with tempeh, mushrooms, or grilled eggplant. Whatever you use, marinate the protein or vegetables for at least one hour and pan-fry until they are slightly charred on the sides.

Lamb Burgers

I make it on a flat-top griddle set over a grill, but the method works equally well on your kitchen stove. The burgers are a take on a dish served in Xi’an, the capital city of Shaanxi province in northwestern China, at the easternmost terminus of the Silk Road. Cumin and chile, along with some Sichuan peppercorns if you can find them, bring a bright funkiness to ground lamb, which crisps up beautifully on top of a bed of sautéed red onion and jalapeño pepper. Put the patties into potato buns, and serve under a spray of cilantro leaves. It's a meal you could cook twice a month for the better part of a year.

BBQ Charred Asparagus

British asparagus is in season until the end of June, so take advantage while you can and try this seasonal summer BBQ recipe. Asparagus is one of my favorite things about June and whilst it is in season I try to eat as much of it as I can. This is a great one for when you have the barbecue going but it is equally delicious if you just roast the asparagus in the oven. I like to pod the broad beans for that bright bean color and munch on their skins as I work my way through but if you are short for time do not worry about this.

Best Ever Black Bean Burgers

Finding alternatives to meat can be hard, but we think these burgers really nail it. The secret? Stop trying to make them taste like beef, and focus on the flavor! It may seem like an annoying extra step to roast the beans, but they do so much for the texture of these burgers. Allowing some of the moisture to escape means a more tender, less mushy texture. No one wants a mushy burger.

Juicy Lucy Burgers

A favorite of Minnesotans! The famous Juicy Lucy! Mmmm. So good. You MUST use American cheese on this to achieve the juiciness in the middle! I like sauteed mushrooms and onions on mine! It's absolutely delicious and once you tried it out, you will make it over and over again!

Asian BBQ Grilled Salmon

Instead of a sweet-and-smoky barbecue sauce, this easy salmon recipe calls for making a spicy Asian glaze. If you can't find fish sauce, feel free to just leave it out (though it does add a funkiness we love!). As for the mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine), you can substitute dry white wine or rice wine vinegar. You'll just want to stir in about a teaspoon of sugar to sweeten it a bit. Trust us, this will become your new favorite sauce. Beyond grilled salmon, you'll want to use it for just about everything—grilled chicken, grilled shrimp, or even grilled steak.

Tavern Style Hamburgers

Here is the hamburger you get in better taverns and bars, plump and juicy, with a thick char that gives way to tender, medium-rare meat. It is best cooked in a heavy, cast-iron skillet slicked with oil or fat. Ask a butcher for coarse-ground chuck steak, with at least a 20 percent fat content, or grind your own. Keep it in the refrigerator until you are ready to cook, and then when you do, form your patties gently. Season after the meat is in the pan.

Caramelized Pineapple Hamburger

Did you know that pineapple is a traditional symbol of hospitality? If that's not an excuse to share our Hawaiian-inspired dish with loved ones, we don't know what is. This hamburger with caramelized pineapple adds a hint of sweetness, and the slaw adds a welcome crunch. Together, the combination is unbeatable.

Homemade Burger Patties

There are a couple of little tricks when I make burgers. One is to combine all the ingredients except for the mince first. Crack 2 eggs into a bowl and whisk up. Add the breadcrumbs, mixed herbs, beef stock cube (don’t leave this out…I’m pretty sure it’s the secret ingredient) crushed garlic and a squeeze of BBQ sauce and mix that all up. Then add your mince and get in there with your hands and mix it all together. Split the mixture into 4 and shape into patties. It’s important to note that normal people might make 6 patties out of this much mince but Josh likes to make man patties so we get 4 jumbo patties out of it. Big is good! If you are making your own burger buns, use this recipe and make it into 6 buns instead of 8 – this will get you the right sized bun for the burger. Coat them lightly in flour and put them in the freezer for about 30 minutes. Josh tells me they hold together much better this way and apparently they stay juicier when you cook them! I would definitely agree with that. Homemade beef burger patties coated in flour on a baking tray Once they’ve been in the freezer, take them out and put em in the frypan. Fry for about 7-8 minutes on either side until they are cooked through. TIP…cover the pan with a lid and they will cook through better. No other burger will ever compare. Try making your own Hamburger Buns for an even better burger!

Whole30 Sweet and Spicy Grilled Pineapple

BRAZILIAN GRILLED PINEAPPLE – A HEALTHIER WHOLE30 VERSION! Mix up your summer BBQ with this easy Sweet and Spicy Grilled Pineapple with Cinnamon. This easy grilled pineapple side dish takes minutes to make and is a really special addition to any grilled meats or vegetables. Brazillian grilled pineapple is made by coating pineapple spears in brown sugar and cinnamon, and then grilling it. Delicious? YES! But really, not necessary. Pineapple itself is sweet, and throwing it on the grill only intensifies its natural sugars. When picking one up at the store, always smell the bottom to determine if it’s ripe. If you’d like to use it right away, you want it to smell sweet. If there is no noticeable smell, it isn’t ripe yet. A pineapple that isn’t ripe can take up to a week to sweeten up.
