- smoking chips, soaked in water
- 50 ml. Olive oil
- 1 tbsp oregano
- Salt Pepper
For the pesto
- 1 small bunch of mint
- lemon juice, from 1/2 lemon
- 40 gr. almond flakes
- 1 clove of garlic, crushed
- Salt, Pepper
Cobb Kit:
- Griddle+
Method
- Prepare and light the Cobb Cooker with 1 CobbleStone [see fuel]. Place the Griddle and Dome Cover onn the Cobb Cooker and let it heat for at least 5 minutes.
- Mix the ribs with the olive oil, salt, pepper and oregano in a bowl. Leave for 30 minutes outside the refrigerator to marinate.
- To make the pesto, chop the mint, garlic and almonds together, squeeze the lemon and season with salt and pepper.
- Remove the dome cover and grate and place the smoking chips on the stone or briquettes. Place the soaked wood chips directly onto the CobbleStone/charcoal.
(Cobb Premier Gas: COBB Premier Gas: wrap wood chips in a foil package with holes in the side facing up, place this on the gas jet to achieve the same effect). - Place the griddle back on and place on the chops, fat side down and close the Dome Cover.
TIP: We use a kebab stick to skewer all the ribs together, so they don't fall when we crisping up the fat.
- Let them smoke like this for 15 minutes. Then we remove the cover of the dome and the skewer (if you have done so) and put them in the pan a short distance apart.
- With the Dome Cover off now, grill them on each side for 2 minutes each for medium rare. Serve with the mint pesto.
