Moderators betty boop 15,990 Posted August 1, 2020 Moderators Share Posted August 1, 2020 decided to roast on the webber a couple of eggplants we picked up at farmers market pretty impressed how well came up, I used tips in article below on how to roast https://www.thespruceeats.com/whole-grilled-eggplant-2216259 I coated them in some sun flower oil...once webber was fired up and upto temp popped in (on low on both flames) and lid closed. just turned till well roasted and egg plants collapsed... making sure well collapsed all around. then sit in foil and peal off the skin... came up gorgeously.. then this recipe here, its for one large one, but followed the same for 2 medium sized... the recipe is for baingan(eggplant) Bharta which is an indian style babba ganush... https://myfoodstory.com/easy-baingan-bharta-recipe/ needing ingredients, For Roasting: 1 Eggplant large 3 Garlic Cloves For the Bharta: 3 tablespoons Oil 1 teaspoon Nigella Seeds Kalonji 6 Garlic Cloves minced 1 teaspoon Ginger grated 1 Green Chilli finely chopped 1 Medium Onion finely chopped 2 Tomatoes finely chopped 1 teaspoon Red Chilli Powder 1 tablespoon Coriander Powder 1/2 teaspoon Turmeric Powder Salt to taste Roasted Baingan Pulp 1 tablespoon Chopped Coriander only variations for chilli...the one green chillies i stripped seeds from inside before slicing finely and instead of one heaped teaspoon chilli powder went one level teaspoon... still kept enough heat that wife said ... thats too much chilli (good sign its just about right ) she usually enjoys it and both myself daughter tucked in to what was a very tasty dish.... level of difficulty id give it *easy* and the roasting on bbq of the eggplants an essential step not to miss ! it asks for nigella seeds... i happened to have some ...wow what a nice touch ! eat with some toasted and buttered pita breads *yum* great little lunch 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I tend to do this with roasted veggies including egg plant on the bbq there’s no bitterness with this one though and want good char on the eggplants in this case and sealing in goodness so don’t be cutting in half ! ps the recipe called for pushing some halved garlics in for the roasting ... but skipped that ... wanted to keep its lovely juices in which it did 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Powerglide 770 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Probably just the angle of the shots, got down low to miss the top rack, look at the previous raw shots. This came from Ivan's a legendary Serbian butcher out west @ 7.90kg fed 15 for $3 ahead with 2 family meals still left on the bone....... Carnitas for me tonight Since moving workshops Ivan's is a ways out of the ways for me now but happened to be in the area last Thursday, he smokes all his own small goods on site, crazy shyt you never see, beef bacon, smoked pork neck and a hundred other things I can't pronounce. Can't leave without a pack of Cevapi's 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Esoterica 459 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Re: salting eggplant, that’s often only necessary if it’s old and bitter (like me). Same with zucchini. They get bitter with age. haha Hopefully I remember to cook my ribs today. I keep getting distracted doing other things! I even sat them on the bench yesterday to get to room temp and remind me and I still didn’t get a chance. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I once put my crackle back in the Kamado to give it a quick sear to finish it off. Walked inside and looked out the kitchen window to see it had combusted and a 2' high flame coming out of the top of the Kamado. Fat=fuel and after only 1 minute or so all was left was maybe 4cm x 4cm black mess. Actually I have a pork roast drying out in the fridge right now for tonight's dinner. I now start it off in the Weber Q then pass over to the Kamado for the slower part of the cook. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

These meaty ribs are gonna be tasty 🤤 most ribs I’ve ever bought haven’t had much on the bone, which makes them not very desirable to me, but these beauties are thicc!

I often use that marinade on a butterflied Lamb leg and stab/slash all over to help introduce the flavor better plus get crunchy caramelized bits! In your Weber , nothing better. 😉 We would have a roast on the day then left over do the Souvlaki wraps following day(s). 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 (edited) Use a sous vide system and Kamado Joe to cook / smoke beef brisket. My wife likes to BBQ vegetables and small bananas (of all things) - seriously stunning results and the only way I will eat sweet potato...... Have just ventured into rapid searing of meat with a su-vgun - so much fun, I sometimes forget why I originally purchased said gun........
