Yes, I am a fan of BBQ food, and yes I do understand that it can take a few summer months to become a master of fire and meat. I am willing to take the right amount of time to create the right meal, as it is not every night that I want grilled meat. The rotisserie is not for everyone - if you can’t sit still and wait for your meal to be ready don’t buy a rotisserie, but if you are the type of person who likes to sit and relax while cooking, then go for it!
This year I am looking to challenge my taste buds with new items on the barbecue. I recently got myself a rotisserie for my wood-burning Weber BBQ. I had to custom fit it to the unit, as normally those bubble models don’t have a rotisserie hook up.
I just finished my first roast on the spit and wow, was it nice! I am pleased with my $25 investment. Yes, investment, that’s how I see it - I invest in my stomach!
I made a fire in a Weber, at the back of it. I used oak staves and wood charcoals.
I got myself a pork roast wrapped in elastic netting. I first removed the net and poked garlic inside the roast, then I poked rosemary branches inside and outside the roast and wrapped it back with the same net. A simple seasoning of salt and pepper before putting it on the spit, and lots of watching it turn while drinking a nice cold one. Once it reached 135F to 150F internal temperature (depending on how you like your pork), it’s ready to eat. I tell ya, this a great way to relax on the weekend.
As a note for the ladies (those who don’t do the barbecue-ing in the family), I will add that potatoes served with a creamy dill dressing make a nice contribution to a meal of spit-roasted meat. I just mixed 2/3 sour cream with 1/3 mayonnaise and added a handful of chopped fresh dill and a splash of cider vinegar (you can substitute lemon juice if you like, and add a teaspoon of warm liquid honey if you prefer a sweeter dressing). Tune in next week when we will get top billing again as we talk about ideas for picnicking!
