You don&rsquo;t want chewy, you want fall-off-the-bone tender. You want a little bit of a bite, but you want it to be nice and juicy and succulent &ndash; and awesome. Slow and low is the way to go…What&rsquo;s a good veggie alternative for the BBQ?I like grilling halloumi &ndash; it makes a great burger. Toast your bun, put smashed avocado on the bottom half, then a slab of grilled halloumi. Drizzle with pomegranate for that sweet ‘n&rsquo; savoury vibe with sliced tomatoes and rocket.What&rsquo;s your favourite side for a barbecue?The coal-roasted onions we did with <a href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/recipe/dj-bbqs-wagyu-burger-with-chimichurri-sauce-and-coal-roasted-onions" target="_blank">the Wagyu burger</a>.How do you BBQ root veg?I put beetroot, potatoes and all kinds of root vegetables down in the coals so I have more room on top of my grill. Corn on the cob or veggie skewers?Oh my gosh, that&rsquo;s a tough one… I love both. But my family&rsquo;s from Iowa &ndash; that&rsquo;s corn country &ndash; and we would have corn on the table every single night! <img alt="ribs__hero-1__square" class="ci-image ci-square" src="https://ui3.assets-asda.com/dm/ribs__hero-1__square_GL?scl=1"> The best way to barbecue mushrooms?Mushrooms are sponges &ndash; they&rsquo;re great for holding flavour, so I like to add a simple marinade. Put &rsquo;em all in a bowl, let the mushooms sit for a while then throw on the grill and baste. Just keep them on there and watch they don&rsquo;t dry out.It&rsquo;s been an amazing grand finale…Thanks for tuning into these live cookalongs.
