Maybe you already know it, because you ever traveled to South America, or had dinner at an Argentinian restaurant. Chimichurri is a salsa or sauce based on green herbs that is delicious with beef, but also with chicken. It originated in Argentina, where they often serve it as a sauce, but also use it to marinate meat. The name of this sauce probably comes from the Irishman Jimmy McCurry, who fought for Argentina’s independence in the 19th century. He seems to be the first person to make the chimichurri, so […]

Brioche burger buns
If you like hamburgers, you’ll agree with me: the bun is just as important as the meat and toppings. A hard bun usually doesn’t do it for me, but a bun shouldn’t be too soft either. It should absorb the juices from the meat and your toppings, but not fall apart. A lot of demands, eh, for a simple sandwich? In my opinion, with this recipe for brioche hamburger buns you have a delicious hamburger bun that does justice to your meat and toppings!
Chicken Lollipops
Today a BBQ recipe that belongs to the classics that you really must have made once: Chicken Lollies. Crazy name, but also logical when you look at the picture. In this recipe, the meat is cut loose from the joint, releasing the bone and serving as the stick of a lollipop. A lollipop made of chicken and bacon. You really want to try that!
Bourbon Infused Meatballs
Say bacon and BBQ sauce and the average BBQ enthusiast will get excited. Add whiskey and smoking wood to that and it gets even more interesting. Then grab the marinade injector and you will end up with this dish. These whiskey injected bacon wrapped meatballs are first smoked, then injected and finally coated with BBQ sauce. What more could a man want?
Pork Belly Burnt Ends
In the last couple of years Pork Belly Burnt Ends went from a hype to a true BBQ classic. Rightly so, because pork belly burnt ends are a delicious smoky and sweet BBQ snack made from pork belly.

Grilled Duck Breast
Grilled duck breast is a piece of game that many people love, but somehow don’t dare to prepare it at home. Unnecessary, because duck breast fillet is very easy to prepare. The most important thing is that you keep a close eye on the core temperature. Furthermore, it’s a piece of cake! Below you will find my recipe for duck breast from the BBQ.
Grilled Bavette
Bavette from the BBQ is in The Netherlands very popular nowadays. And I understand why, because it is a delicious piece of meat! Bavette has a somewhat coarser structure than the more refined steaks. However, this also makes the meat unique in terms of taste and texture and cannot be compared to a tenderloin or rump steak. Bavette is a French cut and often translated as flank steak, although this cut isn’t exactly the same. But following this recipe you can of course go for flank steak if a bavette […]
Rotisserie Chicken
There are many ways to prepare chicken on the BBQ, but rotisserie chicken is one of my favorites. It not only looks great, it also tastes very good! This great taste is created by grilling the chicken above direct heat and because of the fact that the chicken is basting itself with its own fat when using the rotisserie. There are various rotisseries available for the BBQ and which one you need depends on the type of BBQ you have. I use one for my Kamado, but there are also […]
Oriental Pork Belly

You can add smoking wood to the preparation, but the taste is already great without. So get the ingredients and plan an afternoon in the garden, because you absolutely want to taste this!
MOINK Balls
I had often read about MOINK balls, but never made them. So it was about time. MOINK stands for the combination of ground beef and bacon. So Moo & Oink. Originally these MOINK Balls are cooked with ready-to-use Italian meatballs, but because these are not available in The Netherlands we have the official NOSKOS Rule which allows us to make our own meatballs. The MOINK balls are indirectly cooked and smoked, which results in a deliciously tender meatball, wrapped in bacon, with a wonderfully smoky taste. What more could you […]
Dutch Oven Bread
There is nothing better than freshly baked bread! And of course I don’t mean baking a baguette from the supermarket in the oven. I mean baking your own bread from scratch. A while ago I came across a video in which a loaf of bread was baked in a Dutch Oven. A cast iron pan with lid, which can be placed on the BBQ. Of course I had to try it. And I can tell you: you want to try this too, because this is really delicious! It takes quite […]
BBQ Classic: Beer Can Chicken
One of the most famous BBQ dishes is the Beer Can Chicken. It’s also one of the first dishes BBQ enthusiasts make when discovering the world of indirect grilling and smoking. Beer Can Chicken may sound a bit like a real man’s dish, but it certainly isn’t! Although there is an eternal debate about the effect of the beer, the beer can mainly serves as the standard for the chicken. Instead of a beer can you can also buy a chicken sitter. Grilling the chicken indirectly gives you a deliciously […]
