Lamb chops, Belgian Style, with asparagus

So, it’s spring time in Holland and there are a few things I really love about spring time. 2 Of the favorites of those things are Lamb and Asparagus! Combine that with my love of the grill and we have the basics for a great recipe for Lamb. I wanted to do this belgian style, which means living the good life! Beer and Mustard… Lovely.

To start with the marinade, I mixed up the following ingredients.

  • 1/4 cup of mustard (with seeds)
  • 1/2 cup of chopped onion
  • 2 cloves of garlic, very well chopped
  • 2 tablespoons of freshly cut rosemary (although I used the dried version)
  • 1 cup of belgian wheatbeer (I used La Trappe, as you can see in the picture below)
  • 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons of Extra Vergine Olive Oil

Birthday weekend and good weather

So, last weekend the weather was great! Saturday and sunday were filled with sun and beautiful spring temperatures. You know you got to go cook outside like this, don’t you?

What’s it going to be. Considering I have my birthday on sunday, I was thinking pulled pork, which is always good. Problem was in the time to sit around for a few hours to let it go low and slow on the WSM. In stead I chose to do it in the DO, which I didn’t use for a few weeks. No special treatments this time, I actually copied my own recipe for Dutch Oven Pulled Pork from my blog.

Spring Satay sticks on the grill

Last weekend, I decided it was about time to lite the Q again. It was way overdue, since I had some very busy weekends and no time to grill anything. I needed to smell the charcoal and meat again, as well as dive into some marinade with my bare hands. If you’re addicted, you need to keep your addiction alive, I guess.

Dress the board Rib-Eye

This weekend we had an ‘official’ diner with friends and family and I wanted to do something special on the table. Thankfully I have my favorite chef Jamie standing by in the kitchen (as a book, not the real deal, of course).

I found the ‘dress the board‘ a very nice addition to the BBQ I already planned. The fun thing is that it’s super easy to do, but very tasteful and entertaining to serve.

Homemade burgers

Last weekend, we could officially say that is was time to do some burgers again. It’s been way too long and the kids were annoying me with the question as to when we were to do it again. It’s not really a punishment, since I like them a lot and it’s relatively simple to make.
