We are going to have to venture into actual shops (quelle horreur) to stockpile supplies for the rest of the year, and for our early spring barbecues next year.
As my farewell to the barbecue season, I thought I'd share a couple of the cracking meals that the Weber has given us this year, that didn't quite rate a post before.
A lovely rib of beef, cooked slowly and with a good bit of smoke, accompanied by onions inspired by the Barbecue Pit Boys Onion Cheese Bacon Buds (but without the bacon and cheese...), crushed minted peas and Yorkshire puddings.
Mexican Pork Wraps500g pork mince
1tsp minced chipotle in adobo
1/4 tsp ground coriander
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp dried wild oregano
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Tortillas, sliced onions, sliced cheese, mayo mixed with a little chipotle to serve.
With your hands, mix the mince and spices, then form into 4 long sausages around soaked kebab skewers. Rub lightly with oil.
Barbecue until cooked. When they are done, take them off the barbecue and allow to rest for a couple of minutes, while you warm the tortillas on the barbecue. Slide each "sausage" off the skewer & into a tortilla, adding slices of onion, cheese and chipotle mayo to taste. Serve grilled vegetables on the side.

You put your barbecue to good use this past season. I especially loved the Mexican skewers. They really sound delicious. I hope you are having a wonderful day. Blessings...Mary
Wow, an end to BBQ season? We grill all year long and Canada is Cold!
What great treats you have, looks delish!
Mary - they were delicious, I recommend them!
Natashya - isn't it insane? Paul would barbecue any day that it wasn't actually raining, snowing or too windy for a fire, but you just can't get charcoal from September - April!
Yum on that rib of beef!
Isn't that annoying you can't get charcoal?!! Next year you better buy lots in advance.
That beef looks wonderful!
Tesco in Watford had barbecue charcoal RTC this morning.
I am looking at your pictures and salivating. Pity about the coals. Would have been so convenient to get them delivered!
Barbara - we were just saying it was time to stockpile and they beat us to it!
Jude - oh thanks! We'll go over to Watford next weekend. The beef is the Waitrose Aberdeen Angus.
Jo - it makes life so much easier! 1 hour nominated time slot and all the heavy stuff gets carried straight into your kitchen.
End to bbq season? Yikes, we need to go scour out some charcoal before it's too late! The Mexican skewers look delicious! :)
i am with Natashya, we grill all winter (i mean 10 feet of snow winter) long.
Megan - yes! Grab some now!
MM - the British don't really understand barbecuing as a cooking method. They think it is some big entertaining performance thing, instead of just a tasty way to do some steaks.
They both look great FC!! Our bbq couldn't handle a rib of beef, but the wraps, yes! Yum!
All that BBQ cooking looks so darned good!
HH - you need a bigger barbecue! One with a lid.
Dharm - thank you!
Wow, the stop stocking bbq stuff?! In Minnesota people shovel that 3 feet of snow away from the grill & use it year round!
What a funny quirk in the English supply of charcoal -- my only thought is to find some of your friends around for a barbecue but they have to bring their own charcoal ;-).
Kat - they obviously breed 'em tough in Minnesota!
Cranky - good plan.
sadness! i don't want to say goodbye! that settles it--i'm eating as much barbecue as i can for the next two or three weeks. :)
I thought most dedicated bbq masters do it all year round. ;-) Everything looks yummy--especially those Mexican skewers.
Grace - the weather is glorious this week, too!
Deb - I definitely want to make the pork skewers again.
How did you do that with the onion? Is that what happens just from brushing it with oil and baking it in the oven?
