- How do I avoid burning the meat outside while it stays raw inside?
- Use indirect cooking: push the embers to one side of the grill, put the meat on the other, and close the lid. Heat circulates like in an oven, but doesn't burn the meat directly.
BBQ Ribs with Grilled Vegetables
The king of outdoor cooking. The smoke of the embers, the scent of caramelising meat, and the colours of fresh vegetables – this is the essence of summer. The ribs here are not made to 'fall apart' like in the oven, but to have a bit more bite and crunch, as the grill demands. The vegetables aren't just a side: the char marks bring out new flavours in them too.

Instructions
1
✓
Grate the garlic, mix with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and a little oil. Rub this paste into the meat and let it stand (marinate).
Tip: Oily marinades carry flavours into the meat's pores better.
2
✓
Cook the meat over indirect heat (or in the oven at 160°C) for approx. 60-70 minutes until tender.
Tip: Don't rush. If you cook it too fast, it will be tough.
3
✓
Meanwhile, cut the vegetables into thick slices, brush with oil and season with salt.
Tip: Slices that are too thin will dry out on the grate.
4
✓
Brush the meat with BBQ sauce and move to direct heat (or increase oven temperature) to brown the glaze (approx. 10 mins).
Tip: The caramelisation of the sugar provides the final flavour explosion.
5
✓
Grill the vegetables over the embers for 3-4 minutes per side until they have nice grill marks.
Tip: Vegetables are ready when charred on the outside but still crisp (al dente) inside.
