25.01.2022 Pros and Con Amor: It’s Tex Mex BBQ week at @wightsbbq so we thought we’d flashback to last May when we visited @valentinastexmexbbq in #austintexas Valentina’s is one of the leading exponents of #texmex #bbq and as the sign says we didn’t invent the brisket taco but we made it con amor Our bbq at @wightsbbq is also made con amor, so come and check out tex mex bbq week at @wightsbbq this week .... @mvidal16vfc we salute you @ Valentina's Tex Mex BBQ See more

18.01.2022 From side to side: And on tomorrow’s #sides menu our #buttermilk #cornbread #waffles are back, we serve them with our #pimentocheese and just quietly they happen to be #gluten-free . See you at @wightsbbq

10.01.2022 Paneer and far out: Something different tonight, I’ve been making #quest fresco for a while now. Queso fresco is basically the same as the Indian fresh cheese #paneer Kirsty spotted @anjum_anand the other day doing a baked paneer on the #bbq and it gave me an #idea Anjum marinated the paneer in yoghurt, herbs and Indian spices, but I fancied trying marinating it in a #guajillochile paste like you’d use for #birriatacos ... It worked great, I’ll try it out a few more times then I’ll post the #recipe here See more

09.01.2022 Stumps: That’s it for me at @wightsbbq in Cowes. I’d like to say a huge thankyou both to everyone who came by this weekend and for the messages wishing me well, the response has been pretty overwhelming to be honest, so thank you all. Also a huge thanks to everyone who’s supported us along the way, all the staff and the unseen cast behind the scenes that have helped out in all sorts of ways, you know who you are. The biggest thanks goes to my wife Kirsty who’s been there ever...y single step of the way, and who I couldn’t have done it with out, and to our boy Fred who’s just everything. . Until next time... .

08.01.2022 Get ur Cheek On : Our love of #pitcooked #beefcheek is becoming an #obsession If you’ve only had #braised #cheek before then you need to try this. Its a close call but I think I even favour #beefcheeks over our #wagyubrisket and that’s saying something We’ll be back Thursday from 4pm... See you @wightsbbq See more

07.01.2022 How’ve you Bean?: Ok, so I’m going to start sharing some recipes, give em a crack, see what you think #1 Red Beans & Rice This is a #neworleans #classic it’s simply and tasty, reheats well and can go in the slow cooker, on the stove or in the bbq pit. Note: this uses Red Beans which are not the same as kidney beans (they’re slightly smaller and the skin is more tender) so replace with #pintobeans if you can’t find them... Ingredients: 3cups Red Beans (soaked overnight then boiled till tender but not falling apart) 1 large Onion diced 4 sticks Celery diced 1 green Capsicum diced 2 chorizo, kabana or other smoked sausage, or a smoked ham hock Enough chicken stock to cover 1tb paprika 1tb black pepper Bay leaf Hot sauce and salt to taste. Method: Gently sauté the chorizo in a heavy pan, the add onion, celery and capsicum (known as #thetrinity ) and sweat down, add pepper, paprika and bay then add beans and stir through. Now add enough stock to cover and simmer for at least an hour, more likely two until the beans start to break down and thicken the sauce, serve with rice, thank me later Feel free to experiment with the meat, or even omit. Smoked sausage is traditional but leftover pulled pork, or brisket bits would work, and I’ve a feeling pastrami might be a goer Leave me a comment with your findings @ Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

07.01.2022 Taco your pick: Yes yes it’s #texmexbbq week at @wightsbbq and we’ve added a couple of tacos to the menu. This is our #barbacoa #taco with @beefcheek #avocado sauce and some #housemade #quesofresco You need this in your life, and it’s only available this week. .... See you @wightsbbq See more

01.01.2022 ANNOUNCEMENT: Hi All, just letting everyone know that this week will be the last for @wightsbbq On Sunday night 22/12/19 we’ll close our doors for the last time. I live around 90km from @wightsbbq and the travel on top of the long hours cooking bbq has become unsustainable for me physically and mentally, and so we’ve taken the decision to close the doors at @wightsbbq in Cowes. After a summer break with my family we’ll begin to look at what our next move is, but you can expe...ct to see me cooking bbq somewhere sometime in 2020. Until then, thankyou to everyone who’s supported us along the way, and by all means come in for one last #bbqfix this weekend . So for not much longer, see you @wightsbbq See more
