BBQ season is upon us – hurrah! What could be better than dining outside in the sun with good friends (of course, no more than six due to social distancing guidelines) and a bottle of something cool and refreshing?

To ensure our al fresco dining game is strong, we’re always on the lookout for new recipes. In the past we’ve tried our hand at vegan BBQ recipes and delicious sides like creamy potato salad, but we think this pulled pork and Florida grapefruit salsa dish from Waitrose & Partners could be the best one yet.

With juicy meat, a hint of spice and fresh, smarting grapefruit we think this recipe ticks all the boxes. Its fruitiness makes it feel summery, while the sides of rice and tortilla chips will keep you feeling full. Plus, you can simply swap the pulled pork for jackfruit for a vegan alternative. What’s not to love?

Oh, and we haven’t told you the best bit yet. You don’t actually need to use a BBQ for this one if you don’t want to! This recipe is perfect for eating outside as part of an al fresco meal, but can be cooked quickly in the oven in just 30 minutes.

Below you’ll find the ingredients and recipe so you can make it yourself at home this weekend.
