Pentecost
Pentecost comes at just the right time — the BBQ season has just begun, temperatures are pleasant, and there are two public holidays for relaxed grilling. No rush, no agenda, just good food in the garden or on the patio.
Below you'll find everything for a relaxed Pentecost BBQ: a summer menu, flavors that suit the season, and help in choosing the right rub for your taste and preference.
Flavors for the early summer season
Pentecost falls at the beginning of the grilling season — the flavors can be summery and accessible, ideal for a relaxed day with friends or family.
Carolina Gold: mild, slightly sweet, and versatile — the perfect introductory rub for guests who are not yet familiar with BBQ rubs. Tex Mex: spicy and summery — excellent on chicken wings or corn on the cob for a relaxed backyard barbecue. Memphis BBQ: sweet and smoky — the classic for spare ribs or pulled pork if you're planning a slow, relaxed grilling day. Jamaican Jerk: spicy and warm — for the day you want to try something adventurous now that the season is just beginning.
Start with Carolina Gold if you have guests who don't know what they like — mild, slightly sweet, and appreciated by everyone. Add Tex Mex for those who like a bit of a kick. This way, you have something for everyone.
A relaxed Pentecost menu
A menu for two days off — day one relaxed and classic, day two a bit more adventurous.
Day 1 — Chicken Thighs with Carolina Gold: 25 minutes indirect at 180°C, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside — simple and always good. Day 1 — Grilled Corn on the Cob: with Tex Mex and butter, 15 minutes direct — the summery side dish no one can resist. Day 2 — Spare Ribs with Memphis BBQ: 3-2-1 method at 110°C — plan this for day two if you have 6 hours to grill. Day 2 — Chicken Wings with Jamaican Jerk: 20 minutes direct — crispy, spicy, and perfect as a snack alongside the spare ribs.
Day 1 is for those who just want good food without a fuss. Day 2 is for those who want to experiment. This way, you make the most of the long weekend without it becoming a chore.
