As summer comes to an end, autumn will bring its chilly winds, and picnics will no longer be as enjoyable. That's why we invite you to take advantage of the last few weeks of true warmth and go out for a barbecue with your family, and we know that few do it as well as the Americans. Today, we bring you five delicious recipes for main dishes and sides to use on the grill.
Barbecue Pork Ribs
You can't have an American barbecue without ribs, it's a fact. The secret is to cook them low and slow for a long time so that the result is meat that falls off the bone with the slightest touch. The sweet BBQ glaze is also essential to contrast with the flavor of the meat. Remember that here you must forget about etiquette; they are eaten with your hands!
Burgers
The burger we recommend is not just any burger, but one wrapped in bacon and filled with melted cheese. Nothing says American barbecue quite like this. You’ll have the crispiness of the bacon enveloping the juicy meat, and then the melted cheese inside; it’s a winning dish for the whole family, especially for the little ones.
Grilled Corn
If you can find sweet corn, the very yellow kind, then we highly recommend it because its flavor pairs very well with meat. This recipe is light and goes great with burgers and ribs; you can cut the corn off the cob and serve it like a salad, but the classic way is to eat the corn straight off the cob, bite by bite, natural and simple.
Iced Tea
This drink is a classic at family meals in the United States. It’s light, refreshing, and everyone loves it. Of course, the recipe we give you is for the Long Island version which contains alcohol, but you can omit the tequila for the kids, and you’re all set.
Apple Pie
It should not be a debate that apple pie is the classic American dessert, and this is how you should end this tribute meal to American barbecues. Remember that it always pairs very well with delicious vanilla or cinnamon ice cream and should be served warm to contrast with the ice cream.
