According to HPBA (
Association of fireplaces, terraces and barbecues)--
They should know. -
On Labor Day weekend, 55% of us will light up our grill and smokers.
Others will line up with a big appetite and an empty plate.
If it's your turn to host the last salute of the summer, I'll give you three words: Keep it simple.
Labor Day pays tribute to the American labor force, but you have no reason to work behind the grill all day and not enjoy your own party ---
Even if you are cooking for the crowd.
Here are a few steps--and recipes--
Help you perform a low
Completely over Laborthe-
Top Labor Day feast.
Plan your menu buffet style around a large chunk of protein: it's easier to smoke, grill or spit --
More delicious meat than separate steaks, ribs, burgers, chicken breasts, etc.
For example, the pig shoulder ---
Clear crowdpleaser--
It has the added advantage of economy and tolerance in terms of cooking time.
Crazy season, slow smoking in 6 hours.
Cut, chopped or sliced, served with vinegar sauce or mustard sauce.
Remember: The cooked weight will be 50-60% of the raw bonein weight;
If you serve a good meal, 1/3 to 1/2 per person.

Grilled vegetable platter-
Yes, you can barbecue in advance: at this time of year, sweet pepper is in the best condition at the farmer's market;
So are tomatoes, onions and corn.
Grilled wild man-style--
Directly on the fire.
Apply the skin on all sides to black (
Do not skin corn)
And then transfer to the cold plate.
Scrape off any burnt skin, Shell and seeds and place them on the platter.
Season with sea salt, freshly ground black pepper and extra virgin olive oil--
This is all the condiments you need when the vegetables are so fresh and smoked.
The beauty of this dish (
Except for its bright colors)?
You can have a barbecue in advance, or even at a previous barbecue, and serve at room temperature.
Safe, fun, smoking-and fire-filled weekend.
