This special barbecue recipe gives meat an unmistakable aroma. Fine flavour cocoa nibs add a sweetly bitter note that works perfectly with smoky salt and other spices. Here is a recipe that takes grilled meat and vegetables to the next level.
Ingredients for the spice mix:
- Fine flavour cocoa nibs
- Smoky salt
- Paprika powder (hot or sweet)
- Black or red pepper
- Chilli flakes
Preparation of the spice mix:
- Place the fine flavour cocoa nibs, smoky salt, paprika powder, pepper and chilli flakes in a mortar.
- Pound the mixture until it is fine and well blended.
Preparing the grilled meat:
- Season the meat (e.g. beef steak, chicken breast or pork chop) with the spice mix just before grilling.
- Grill the meat to taste.
- Shortly before the meat is done, sprinkle it with the spice mix again. If desired, turn the meat once more and continue grilling briefly.
Grilled tomatoes with garlic oil:
- Cut the tomatoes in half.
- Brush the cut side with garlic oil or dip it in garlic oil.
- Place the tomatoes cut side down on the grill. Use a grill tray to minimise the escape of liquid.
Wild garlic butter:
- Mix the wild garlic, salt, pepper and softened butter in a blender or food processor.
- Place the wild garlic butter in the fridge to firm up.
Side dish recommendation: Baked potato:
- Pre-cook large potatoes until they are almost done.
- Wrap the potatoes in aluminium foil and place on the grill.
- After grilling, cut the potatoes open and fill them with the wild garlic butter.
Tip:
- Serve the grilled meat together with the grilled tomatoes and baked potatoes.
- Enjoy the savoury note of the fine flavour cocoa nibs in combination with the other spices and the delicious wild garlic butter.
Have fun grilling and enjoying!
