How to create a BBQ Share Platter with Pappy's Texas BBQ
BBQ season is well and truly upon us and even though the Texas sunshine hasn’t quite made it’s way to the UK, we won’t let that dampen our spirits and neither should you! A BBQ share platter is the perfect way to bring together loved ones.
To us, BBQ is all about getting together with your tribe to have lots of laughs and enjoy some finger licking good food.
If you’re looking to blow your tribes mind this summer and have your BBQ be the talk of the town, we are here to help. Below we’ve shared some of our family favourites to help you put on the very best BBQ that will have people saying “what’s that amazing smell” for miles around.
1. Star of the Show: The Meat
Brisket: Slow-cooked brisket is tender, juicy, and packed with flavour. Smoke it low and slow with a rub of salt and pepper. For those who prefer convenience, Pappy’s Texas BBQ offers pre-smoked brisket that’s ready to heat and serve – perfect for your BBQ share platter.
Ribs: Melt in the mouth ribs are a BBQ essential. Whether you prefer baby back ribs or St. Louis style, marinate your ribs in your favourite spice blend and smoke them like Pappy’s Texas BBQ do for the tastiest finger licking ribs you’ve ever had! Don’t forget to slather on Pappy’s Original BBQ Sauce for that perfect tangy finish.
Pulled Pork: Pulled pork is a crowd-pleaser that’s easy to make and delicious. We season & smoke our pork until it’s melt-in-your-mouth tender, then it’s shredded and mixed with our signature BBQ sauce. It’s perfect for sandwiches or as a standalone dish!
2. Delicious Sides
Coleslaw: A refreshing coleslaw adds a crunchy contrast to your smoky meats. Our classic slaw recipe combines crisp cabbage, carrots, and a creamy dressing with a hint of tang.
Mac and Cheese: Comfort food at its finest. Creamy, cheesy mac and cheese is the perfect side dish. Make it with a blend of cheeses and top with breadcrumbs for a crunchy finish, it’s always a hit!
Tex Mex spicy pinto beans: Slow-cook some pinto beans with a delicious blend of spices to create a great addition to your BBQ share platter.
3. Finishing Touches
Pickles and Onions: These simple additions can elevate your BBQ share platter to the next level! The acidity of pickles and the sharpness of onions cut through the richness of the meats, providing a balanced bite.
Cornbread: Sweet, moist cornbread is the perfect accompaniment to your BBQ feast. Serve it warm with a pat of butter for that authentic Southern touch.
4. Don't Forget the Sauces!
No BBQ is complete without a selection of sauces.
Pappy’s Texas BBQ Sauce: Sweet and tangy with a hint of smoke.
Spicy BBQ Sauce: For those who like a little extra kick.
Honey Mustard BBQ Sauce: A delightful blend of sweetness and tang.
5. Beverages to match
Pair your BBQ share platter with some refreshing drinks. Iced tea, lemonade, or a selection of local craft beers can complement the smoky flavours of your food. Why not try a few from one of our local Cumbrian brewers Fell Brewery & Hawkshead Brewery.
6. Serving Suggestions
Arrange your meats and sides on large platters so guests can help themselves. Use rustic wooden boards or cast-iron skillets for a true Texas BBQ vibe. Garnish with fresh herbs, lemon wedges, and extra pickles for a pop of colour and flavour.
