Pico de gallo

Pico de gallo

Pico de gallo is a Mexican tomato salsa. It is really fresh, made in an instant, and it works really well with grilled food. I use shallots here for their mild flavor, but feel free to use red or yellow onion instead.

Henrik’s Original Pork Rub

Hank’s Original Pork Rub

Hank’s Original Pork Rub is my own dry rub specifically composed for pork butts, ribs et.c. It is a classic rub, not too hot. If you prefer a hotter rub, add cayenne pepper or ground ancho chile pepper, whichever you prefer. This is a small batch, so it is enough for a large rack of ribs. If you want to, you can double or triple the recipe and store it in the fridge.

Apple Chutney

Coleslaw

Coleslaw

A coleslaw is easy to throw together, but it is also one of the best things you can do with cabbage. Mix the ingredients, let it sit in the fridge for two hours, and serve. Easy!

Smoked aubergine mousse

Smoked aubergine mousse

Smoked aubergine mousse is best served with a sweet yoghurt dip and some bread. It really stands out as an exotic starter. Dip the bread in the mousse and yoghurt, and enjoy! This dish is great to make as a bonus dish while smoking something else on the grill.

Bacon wrapped dates

Bacon wrapped dates

Bacon wrapped dates are quick to make, and you can cook them on the grill or in the oven. If grilling them, use direct heat. It takes approximately 10-20 minutes, depending on how hot your grill is. The combination of sweet dates and salty bacon is superb!

Sweet potato mash with cognac

Sweet potato cognac mash

I’ve always been a fan of sweet potatoes, so making a sweet potato mash makes perfect sense. In this version I have added some cognac for that extra touch. It really adds some class to the dish.
