These brioche buns are super soft, buttery and melt in the mouth. Dotted with chocolate chips, they are scrumptiously indulgent to eat when they are fresh out of the barbecue. If only Easter was year-round!

Ingredients

½ cup cup milk, lukewarm
3 tbsp tablespoons caster sugar
3 tsp teaspoons dry yeast
15 ½ cups cups bread flour *see note (plus extra if needed)
3 tsp teaspoons mixed spice
1 tsp teaspoon cinnamon
½ tsp teaspoon salt
4 eggs, lightly whisked
140 g grams unsalted butter, softened
200 g grams dark chocolate chips
20 g grams unsalted butter, melted, to glaze
2 tbsp tablespoons honey, warmed
FOR CHOCOLATE FLOUR PASTE
cup cup bread flour or plain flour
1 tbsp tablespoon cocoa powder
3 tbsp tablespoons water

Directions

In a jug, combine the warm milk, sugar and yeast. Stir gently and set aside in a warm place for 5 to 10 minutes or until the mixture is frothy.

Mix together the bread flour, mixed spice, cinnamon and the salt in a large bowl or bread maker. Create well in the centre, pour in the yeast mixture and eggs. Combine the mixture into a soft dough (mixture will be sticky, add a little more flour if it is too wet). Knead until the dough comes together.

Add the butter in three portions, kneading after each addition. Once the butter has incorporated, knead for 5 minutes. Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover in plastic wrap and let stand in a warm environment for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Knock back the dough and incorporate the chocolate chips, folding and kneading the dough. Divide into 12 portions. Line a baking tray with baking paper and place the balls of dough onto the tray, evenly spacing with a 4cm gap. Loosely cover with greased plastic wrap.

Leave to stand in a warm environment for 30 minutes to 1 hour at room temperature, or until doubled in size.

Prepare your barbecue for indirect cooking over medium-low heat (170°C to 190°C). Using a pastry brush, gently brush the buns with the melted butter. To make the chocolate cross; combine all the chocolate flour paste ingredients in a small bowl. Pour into a piping bag or ziplock bag. Cut the corner off the bag and pipe a cross onto each bun.

Place the tray on and bake the buns over indirect medium-low heat for 20 to 25 minutes.

Once cooked, remove from the barbecue. Slide the buns onto a cooling rack and brush the buns with the melted honey. Leave the buns to rest for 10 minutes. Best enjoyed warm, can be served with butter.

NOTE

For best results, use bread flour as it will provide a much lighter and fluffier texture. Alternatively, you can use plain flour for a more traditional hot cross bun texture.

Why cook a roulade rather than a whole turkey? You can pack it with delicious ingredients for extra flavour, you can easily cook it without the meat drying out, it cooks in half the time, plus it’s easy to carve!

Ingredients

1 x 2 kg turkey breast
4 x pork sausages, casings removed
½ cup cup pistachios, roughly chopped
½ cup cup dried cranberries
8 sage leaves, finely chopped
6 slices prosciutto
5 sage leaves, to garnish
CRANBERRY REDUCTION
1 cup cup dried cranberries
½ cup cup port
½ cup cup chicken stock
2 tbsp tablespoons unsalted butter
½ tsp teaspoon sea salt
½ tsp teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Butterfly the turkey breast. Cover with plastic wrap and pound to a 1.5cm thickness. In a bowl combine the pork sausages, pistachios, dried cranberries, and finely chopped sage leaves.

Lay overlapping sheets of plastic wrap on a bench, to a size slightly bigger than the butterflied turkey breast. Lay the prosciutto onto the plastic wrap, in a vertical line towards the top edge of the plastic wrap, slightly overlapping. Place the butterflied turkey breast onto the prosciutto. Spread the sausage mixture over the turkey breast and tightly roll the breast upwards, starting from the bottom edge, into an even cylindrical shape, using the plastic wrap to help keep the roll tight. Tightly wrap the roulade using the plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Prepare your barbecue for indirect cooking over medium heat (190°C to 230°C). If you are using a Weber Q barbecue, set up your barbecue with a convection tray and trivet.

Remove the turkey roll from the refrigerator and discard the plastic wrap. Truss the turkey roulade with butcher’s twine.

Roast the roulade over indirect medium heat, with the lid closed, for 50 minutes and then place the 5 sage leaves on top of the turkey roulade. Continue to cook the turkey for an additional 10 to 20 minutes, or until the cooked through.

While the turkey is cooking, make the cranberry reduction. On a side burner or stove top, simmer the cranberries, port, and chicken stock for 10 minutes or until reduced, stirring as required. Add the butter and continue to cook for a further 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and season with salt and pepper.

Once the turkey has cooked, remove from the barbecue and allow to rest for 15 minutes before carving. Once rested, slice the turkey and serve with the cranberry reduction.

Recipe Tips:

The final doneness temperature for turkey is 74°C. You can take the turkey off the barbecue once it has reached an internal temperature of 71°C, the temperature will continue to rise 3°C to 6°C while resting. Refrigerating the turkey roll will allow the flavours to enhance and the turkey roulade to firm up.

Lamb has a stronger flavour than beef or pork, which makes it a good partner for bold marinades and sauces. Here, we take the meat in an Indian direction, using spices that pack a lot of pizzazz. It’s easy to modify the sauce to your liking and convenience. For example, if you don’t have garam masala, a blend of roasted and ground spices, use a little curry powder instead.

Ingredients

125 mg milligrams plain full-fat Greek yoghurt
1 tbsp tablespoon finely chopped coriander leaves
2 tsp teaspoons lime juice
1 tsp teaspoon chilli-garlic sauce or harissa paste
½ garlic clove, finely chopped
¼ tsp teaspoon sea salt
tsp teaspoon garam masala
MARINADE
3 tbsp tablespoons lime juice
2 tbsp tablespoons peeled, finely grated fresh ginger
2 tbsp tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tsp teaspoons hot Madras curry powder
1 tsp teaspoon smoked paprika
1 tsp teaspoon ground turmeric
1 tsp teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tsp teaspoon sea salt
1 tsp teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions

In a small bowl, whisk together all the sauce ingredients. Cover and refrigerate until 30 minutes before serving. (The sauce can be made up to 8 hours in advance).

In a separate small bowl, whisk together all the marinade ingredients. Place the lamb chops in a large glass baking dish, pour the marinade over them and turn the chops to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 4 hours. Allow the chops to stand at room temperature for 15–30 minutes before barbecuing.

Prepare the barbecue for direct cooking over medium heat (180 to 230°C).

Brush the cooking grills clean. Remove the chops from the dish and discard the marinade. Grill over direct medium heat, with the lid closed, until cooked to your desired doneness (8–10 minutes for medium rare), turning once. Remove from the barbecue and leave to rest for 3–5 minutes.

Serve the chops warm, with the yoghurt sauce alongside.

Chocolate Brioche Star

Ingredients

1 cup cup warm milk
3 tbsp tablespoons caster sugar
3 tsp teaspoons dry yeast
3 cups cups bread flour
½ tsp teaspoon salt
4 eggs, lightly whisked
140 g grams unsalted butter, softened
200 g grams Nutella or chocolate spread
100 g grams dark chocolate, grated
1 egg yolk, for glaze
1 tbsp tablespoon water, for glaze
Icing sugar

Directions

In a jug combine the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and set aside in a warm place until the mixture is frothy, 5 to 10 minutes.

Sift the bread flour and the salt into a large bowl or bread maker. Create a well in the centre, pour in the yeast mixture and eggs. Use a flat-bladed knife to combine the mixture into a soft dough (mixture will be sticky). Knead for 5 minutes.

Add the butter in three portions and knead for 15 minutes. Transfer dough to a greased bowl, cover in plastic wrap, and let stand in a warm environment for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Knock back the dough and divide into four portions; place onto four squares of baking paper. Roll the four portions into 25cm diameter circles. Spread the Nutella on three of the circles, leaving a 2cm border. Sprinkle the dark chocolate on the Nutella.

Start with the plain circle on the bottom, place onto a baking tray. Flip the other three circles, chocolate side down, on top of the plain circle, removing the baking paper as you go. Place a round 5cm scone cutter in the centre of the circle (do not press down). Make 16 evenly spaced cuts from the scone cutter to the outside of the dough. Remove the scone cutter. Hold two strips of the dough and rotate twice outward. Press the ends together. Continue with the remaining strips. Loosely cover with greased plastic wrap. If you wish to cook the following day, place the dough star into the refrigerator.

Leave to stand in a warm environment for 30 minutes to 1 hour at room temperature, or until doubled in size.

Set up and preheat your barbecue for baking (refer to your handbook for further information).

Whilst the barbecue is preheating, make the egg wash. Combine the egg yolk and 1 tablespoon water. Using a pastry brush, carefully brush onto the bread.

Once the barbecue has preheated, adjust the burner(s) to the baking setting. Bake the bread for 20 to 25 minutes. Once cooked, remove from the barbecue. Finish with a dusting of icing sugar.

Riesling and Red Currant Glazed Ham

Ingredients

1 uncooked pickled leg of pork, 6 to 7 kilograms
GLAZE
60 g grams butter
4 shallots, finely chopped
2 tbsp tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
2 cups cups sweet Riesling
2 cups cups red currant jelly
¼ cup cup balsamic vinegar
1 tsp teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tbsp tablespoons whole cloves

Directions

Set up your kettle for indirect normal fire cooking method, using approximately 22 Weber Barbecue Briquettes in each charcoal basket. Light the fire-lighters and move the charcoal baskets to the center of the charcoal grate over the flames.

With a sharp knife, cut the rind around the sides of the pork, around the knuckle, and down the centre to free it on all sides, ensuring that you have cut right through the rind to the fat, but not into the flesh.

Approximately 25 to 30 minutes after lighting, all of the coals will be ashed over and ready for cooking. Separate the charcoal baskets using tongs. Place foil drip pans between the two fires (must be large enough to catch all of the drippings). Place the cooking grill on the barbecue with the grill handles directly over the fires.

Place the pork on to the cooking grill. If the edges of the pork are hanging over the direct zone (above the fire), shield the sides with aluminium foil. Close the lid, ensuring the air vents are open and positioned over the indirect zone. Cook for 2½ hours to blister the skin.

To make the glaze, combine the butter and shallots in a saucepan over high heat and cook until the shallots are cooked. Add the thyme, Riesling, red currant jelly, balsamic vinegar, and pepper. Continue to simmer for 10 to 15 minutes or until the glaze is thickened and caramelised, stirring often. Set aside to cool completely.

Remove the pork skin with tongs. Score the fat in a diamond pattern, being careful not to cut into the flesh, as the ham flesh will dry out.

Top up the charcoal baskets with additional barbecue briquettes. Add three wood chunks to the coals. Continue to cook the ham for a further 30 minutes to render the fat before applying the glaze.

After 30 minutes of the ham cooking without the skin, decorate with the whole cloves. Apply a generous amount of the glaze over the ham and continue cooking for a further 1 hour, glazing the ham every 20 minutes.

Once the ham has cooked and reached an internal temperature of 68°C, remove the ham from the barbecue. The internal temperature will continue to rise 3° to 6°C while it’s resting. Leave to rest for 15 minutes before carving.

Herb, Raisin, and Pistachio Couscous

Ingredients

1 tbsp tablespoon olive oil
30 g grams butter
½ small red onion, finely diced
½ cup cup raisins
¼ cup cup pine nuts
½ cup cup pistachio kernels, toasted
10 ½ cups cups chicken stock
5 ½ cups cup couscous
cup cup chopped fresh mint leaves
cup cup chopped fresh coriander
cup cup chopped fresh parsley
pomegranate, seeds (optional)

Directions

Set up your barbecue for direct cooking. Please refer to your handbook for further instructions.

Place a large Weber Ware Casserole Dish (without lid) on the cooking grill and preheat your barbecue on high for 10 minutes. Once the barbecue has preheated, adjust the burner(s) to medium.

Add the olive oil, butter, and onion to the casserole dish, and cook until the onion is soft, 2 to 3 minutes, stirring as required. Add the raisins, pine nuts, and pistachios and cook until the nuts are toasted, a further 5 to 7 minutes.

Add the chicken stock and place the lid on the casserole dish (vent closed). Cook until the chicken stock comes to a boil, about 6 minutes.

Turn off the barbecue. Using the detachable handles or heatproof gloves, remove the casserole dish from the barbecue. Stir in the couscous, cover with the casserole lid, and leave for 10 minutes. Fluff with a silicon spoon. Set aside to cool.

Stir through the mint, coriander, and parsley. Top with the pomegranate seeds, if using.
