whats your most favourite bbq food??

Im hoping to have one saturday as long as this weather lasts!!

mccfluff · 07-04-2011, 12:20

kebabs, meat, fish or veg. with homemade salads and coleslaws

molliepops · 07-04-2011, 12:23

Not keen on barbeque's so will be cooking indoors but taking it out and eating in the garden at the weekend - much nicer IMO.

mirabelle · 07-04-2011, 13:15

I also make kebabs now I'm veggie... these are peppers, onions, mushrooms, courgetts, aubergines, and tonight will also be halloumi. I marinate the veg with oil, garlic, ginger, chilli. Only takes afew mins.

O/h has the traditional burgers, sausages, fish on the bbq is gorgeous though (from when I used to eat it), we used to have special fish holders for fillets. I don't really agree with chicken drumsticks ona bbq as they nevber cook through and need oven cooking first becomes pointless.

Sides are bread- french stick or rolls, pasta salad, coleslaw, potatoes boiled new, corn on the cob done on bbq, green salad, tomatoes and onions and mozarella with oil and basil. anything else I can make really.

I used to prepare stuffed fresh sardines and cook them in one of those net thingys that clamp em together...

Gorgeous, been trying to *fish* out the recipe but cant find it...I know its here somewhere.

Weather looks good for the weekend....

Teddybleads · 07-04-2011, 13:43

Aubergine does well on a barbie. I also like sardines, prawns ( big 'uns) and a nice fat rump steak.

calcandy · 07-04-2011, 13:48

it all sounds yummy!!!

loving this weather, always helps cheer people up

degsyhufc · 07-04-2011, 15:24

I'll go for sausages. Not the most adventurous but even crappy cheapo sausages can taste nice off the bbq.

Obviously many things are nice. Steaks, chicken, chops but usually it's the marinade that adds to the flavour.
A nice one I had last year was a spicy minted lamb steak from a local farm shop. Will be going again this year to get their bbq packs.

calcandy · 07-04-2011, 15:34

totally agree about the marinade!!

Swarfega · 07-04-2011, 16:02

I love being adventurous in my eating. However for BBQs I like the simple things in life. Burgers and sausages for hotdogs. Bit of salad, coleslaw and potato salad.
No need for anything too funky.

SHAFT · 07-04-2011, 16:55

My specialities that may make an appearance this weekend:

Homemade Mozzarella Stuffed Burgers with Pesto
Chinese 5 spice spare ribs
Lemon butterfly chicken with new poratoes
Salmon teriyaki steaks
Venison sausages
Moroccan spiced lamb kebabs
Tandoori drumsticks
Bacon wrapped corn on the cob

TommyGavin76 · 07-04-2011, 18:51

I like proper American barbecue food, pulled pork, burnt ends, brisket. Mmmm.

sailingjim · 07-04-2011, 21:33

I really enjoy doing a carvery sort of thing if you can be bothered. Either:

Slice of rump cut across the whole rump about an inch thick marinated overnight in a whisky marinade and the bbq for about 15 mins each side. Then slice really thinly - delicious

OR

Leg of lamb boned out but not rolled and marinaded overnight in rosemary, lemon and olive oil and then bbq for about 20 mins each side (or a bit longer)

OR BOTH!!!

Hope the weather holds

Mongodude · 07-04-2011, 23:50

my uncle does half a pig twice in the summer, cooks it low and slow on a massive homemade bbq pit for 12+ hours and my god its good, falls apart and you stuff a bun with it and ladel on bbq sauce and coleslaw and some of the crackling for the best pulled pork ever.

Thanks

mimicole · 08-04-2011, 18:06

Good luck with it - hope it goes down well. Let us know how you got on with it

degsyhufc · 09-04-2011, 12:06

I've got some monster steaks for the bbq today. Weather is looking good so far.

Erlang · 09-04-2011, 12:10

I might get one in tomorrow, we can't do today as we are out at the local Cypriot restaurant tonight, but I bet we'll eat some lovely kebabs (souvlaki) anyway.

TheBigM · 09-04-2011, 12:21

pizza! (requires a special type of barbecue oven)

Okay, you can get away with doing it like that but I have a special barrel-shaped oven. It has four layers for charcoal/briquettes and three layers for pizzas (so they get heat from above and below and you can put something on the very top (e.g. kebabs wrapped in foil).

Once it gets up to a proper heat, you can really crank out the pizzas, great for "bbq pizza parties". Can make like 80 pizzas in one hour

I purchased a leg this morning, I've boned it and now it's in a container in the fridge marinading in a mixture of lemon juice, homemade garlic,chili & thyme olive oil, fresh rosemary from the garden and a couple of crushed cloves of garlic.
I can't wait until tomorrow to cook it now as I'm rather looking forward to it.

Dazzaschofield · 10-04-2011, 13:12

Im gonna nip out this afternoon and get some lovely food for the BBQ, nowt special though as we arn't far from moving house so Im gonna purchase a new BBQ then and do a proper BBQ then.

Today it will just be....Dig a hol in the ground...fill with charcole....put mes on to and BBQ myself some steak, chops, sausages and burgers/kebabs!!

mobelan · 10-04-2011, 14:04

I don't like BBQ food, all those insects flying around. Much better to cook inside and eat in the garden.I know there is still insects outside but much easier to spot them.
