Tempeh Asada Tacos
A fully plant-based take on Over The Fire Cooking's grilled carne asada, swapping flank steak for tempeh. Steamed first to open up the bean cake and cut through bitterness, then soaked for just one to two hours in the classic carne asada marinade — amber beer, citrus, white vinegar, coriander, cumin, garlic and jalapeño — and finished over a screaming-hot grill for real char and grill bars. Sliced into strips and served in warm corn tortillas with lime, chopped onion and fresh coriander, it delivers everything the original promises.

Wild Mushroom BBQ Ribs with Chipotle Sauce
A fully plant-based, gluten-free riff on Gran Luchito's chipotle BBQ pork ribs. King oyster mushrooms, halved lengthways, stand in for the rib shape and hold up beautifully to the grill, while torn oyster, shiitake and chestnut mushrooms add texture and earthy depth. The original two-stage method is preserved — braise first so the mushrooms absorb all that smoky, spiced liquid, then finish over high heat with the chipotle sauce brushed on — because that is precisely what makes the dish. Three common gluten traps in the original (dark beer, Worcestershire sauce and taco seasoning) have each been addressed with named substitutes, with the reasoning called out in the method so a coeliac cook never has to guess.

Jackfruit Fajita Bites
Smoky, flame-kissed pulled jackfruit fajita bites made entirely on the BBQ — no oven, no hob, no indoor steps needed. Young green jackfruit stands in brilliantly for beef: dried well after rinsing so it chars and crisps at the edges rather than steaming. Pepper and onion strips go straight onto the grill grates for that essential fajita char, tortillas warm on the grill in seconds, and everything is finished with fresh lime and creamy avocado. Sized for a party — makes 24 one-or-two-bite hors d'oeuvres that guests can grab with one hand while mingling.

Simple Black Bean Tamales
A fully plant-based take on Joshua Weissman's classic tamales. Smoky ancho and guajillo chillies are rehydrated in warm vegetable broth, then blended with garlic and cumin into a vibrant red sauce that flavours both the black bean filling and the table. The masa is built the right way — vegetable shortening whipped until light and airy before the masa harina and broth are folded in — so every tamale steams up tender and fluffy, never dense. Wrapped in softened corn husks and steamed until firm, these are weeknight-friendly in effort but serious in flavour.

Spicy Mexican Grilled Cauliflower "Chicken" with Carrots and Broccoli

Whole cauliflower steaks and florets stand in for chicken pieces, marinated in a punchy chipotle-ancho chili paste with cumin, smoked paprika, and lime, then charred over an open BBQ flame alongside caramelized carrots and broccoli. Fresh jalapeños and cilantro finish the dish with brightness and heat. 100% vegan, totally satisfying, and packed with flavor from every angle.
