All American Spice Rub Grilled Vegetable Ratatouille Recipe
2 zucchini squash, cut into quarters lengthwise
2 yellow squash, cut into quarters lengthwise
2 eggplants, cut into ½ inch think rounds
2 red onions, cut into ½ inch think rounds
4 bell peppers (1 red, 1 yellow, 1 orange, & 1 green), stemmed, seeded and cut into quarters
2 pints Baby Bella mushrooms
1 pint cherry tomatoes , left whole
½ cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil, plus 2 tablespoons
2 tablespoons Pork Barrel BBQ’s All American Spice Rub
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons fresh oregano, finely chopped
¼ cup fresh basil leaves, finely chopped
Preheat your grill to a medium-high temperature. We prefer charcoal, but you can also use a gas grill for this vegetable ratatouille recipe.
Place all of your cut vegetables and the mushrooms and tomatoes in a large bowl and pour the ½ cup of olive oil over the vegetables (toss and coat thoroughly).
Season vegetables with Pork Barrel BBQ’s All American Spice Rub (toss and coat thoroughly) for this vegetable ratatouille recipe.
Place vegetables on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side (tomatoes should be removed when you turn the vegetables over).
On a cutting board coarsely chop your vegetables and move them to a large serving bowl.
Add the 2 tablespoons of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, oregano and basil to the grilled vegetables in the serving bowl and gently mix together. Serve at room temperature.
BBQ Chicken Recipe:
Place the chicken on a cookie sheet and pat the meat dry with a paper towel. Rub 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil onto each chicken half covering the entire surface area of the meat. Rub 2 tablespoons of Pork Barrel BBQ All American Spice Rub onto each chicken half, covering the entire surface area of the meat. Cover the chicken with aluminum foil and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
While the chicken is sitting get the charcoal grill ready. We recommend using 100% hardwood charcoal, in lump or briquette form, and we strongly encourage you to use a charcoal chimney to light the charcoal (stay away from lighter fluid if at all possible). The charcoal is ready to use when it has burned to a white ash. Place the coals on one side of the grill leaving an area of the grill open to cook the chicken over indirect heat with no coals underneath the meat.
After getting the coals arranged place the lid on the grill and let the grill reach a temperature of 325 degrees. Once the grill has reached 325 degrees you are ready to place the chicken in the grill. This is also the time you will want to add the hickory and oak chunks onto the coals.
Keep an eye on the grill and make sure it maintains a temperature around 325 degrees. If you like your chicken with a littlePork Barrel BBQ Sauce, coat the chicken with Pork Barrel BBQ Original or Sweet Sauce with about 3 minutes remaining, and flip once to ensure barbeque sauce coats both sides. When the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees (this will occur about 45 minutes to an hour into the cooking process) remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Serve with Pork Barrel BBQ Original and Sweet BBQ Sauce on the side.
