Your Victoria Day Long Weekend Menu
It's time to fire up the grill!
Celebrate the unofficial start of summer with a few delicious and easy recipes that capture the feel of warmer weather, and longer days. Whether you're barbecuing with family and friends or just hanging as a group of two, everyone will love these classic cookout dishes.
Here's your Victoria Day long weekend menu:
Appetizers
Grilled Shrimp With Sriracha-Lime Cocktail Sauce
This is a grilled twist on the classic shrimp-cocktail appetizer. Making your own cocktail sauce allows you to add extra flavours, such as spicy sriracha.
Jalapeño Corn Fritters With Cilantro Sour Cream
Fresh-from-the-cob corn comes alive in these southern-style fritters. Biting into the sweet, juicy kernels is a flavour explosion like no other. Use a splatter screen when frying, as the corn can pop right out of the pan.
Grilled Panzanella Bites
This appetizer is a fun way of serving a popular Italian bread salad. Tomatoes are super sweet when in season, and taste best when kept at room temperature, so buy or pick them only as needed.
Mains
Turkey Club Burgers
The classic turkey club gets an upgrade in this burger, featuring our Caramelized Onions and homemade buns.
Texas-Style Pork Ribs
For fall-off-the-bone ribs, we start with a dry rub, then cook the rack low and slow and finish with a no-cook barbecue sauce. This is our new classic, soon to become your go-to recipe.
Broccoli Cheddar Veggie Burgers
Veggie lovers, rejoice! These patties pack plenty of flavour and texture. We promise: You won't miss the meat.
Sides
Grilled Vegetables With Chimichurri Sauce
This herbaceous dressing adds a nice touch of freshness to summery grilled vegetables. If you want a bit more kick, increase the hot pepper flakes.
Classic Creamy Coleslaw
Fennel gives this coleslaw an added crunch with a hint of licorice flavour. If you have one, use a mandoline to slice the hard vegetables paper-thin.
Garden Potato Salad
Onions, celery, mushrooms and carrots add a shot of colour and flavour to this popular favourite.
Dessert
BBQ Strawberry Shortcake
Butter Tart Ice Cream
Chunks of buttery shortbread and a sweet butterscotch ripple make this ice cream taste just like Canada's favourite tart. If you like raisins or pecans in your butter tarts, swirl a small handful into the ice cream when you add the butterscotch and the cookies.
