Charred Shrimp and Cauliflower Romesco

Grilling shrimp in their shells both protects the delicate meat from the direct heat of the barbecue and seriously boosts the satisfying barbecued shellfish flavour. It’s definitely worth the extra effort of peeling them at the table.

Garlicky Prime Rib and Rosemary Rack of Pork

Think big when you're entertaining this summer and grill a succulent roast of beef or pork to satisfy a crowd. Just close the lid on a herb-and-garlic-coated roast and entice guests with intoxicating aromas as it cooks slowly over indirect heat. For the rack of pork, buy an eight-rib roast; have your butcher chine (remove the backbone) or saw between the ribs for easy carving.

Baharat Tomato Sauce

This aromatic sauce makes an excellent dip with bread, labneh and fresh herbs, or use it to top eggplant or chickpea stews, meatballs or braised lamb.

Texas-Style Pork Ribs
