Anything BBQ!

Now BBQ season is upon us,

Please post you BBQ tips, Recipes, Marinades etc ...

*****************************************

I love doing Chicken Strips, glazed in Jack Daniels Smokey BBQ sauce .. hmmmmmmmmm

Also a bit of corn on the cob BBQ sytle with Olive oil and Chilli flakes (previous Hexus Tip and its really Nice)

I'm partial to a bit of surf and turf. A nice flame licked fillet with some prawns and cray fish tails

A nice homemade coleslaw, with some apple in there. Lovely

+1 on the Jack Daniels BBQ sauce as a mariande though, it's briliant. I would personally avoid the budweiser one's though as they are just disgusting.

I haven't found a nandos mariande I particularly like yet but I've seen them around and it's always good to add a bit of heat/spice.

We will be treating ourselves to a tandor oven for next summer though, you just don't get chicken tasting that good any other way.

Make your own burgers, decent mince, blitz some onions, peppers, wholegrain mustard and chilli power (whatever you want really) shape into burgers and leave in the fridge for a couple of hours then slap on the barbie

also if your cooking on a plate rather than a griddle slice up some spuds into 5mm ish slices and cook on the plate

I saw a good tip on burgers actually. Much like yourss but you roll them to keep them even and then put them between grease proof paper while in the fridge (possibly freezer).

if your gonna make your own burgers you need to mix with a bit of Lee & Perrins

My fave marinade is to melt half a bar of 70-80% cocoa Chocolate with honey, lime juice & zest, and a couple of small red chilli's de-seeded & finely chopped. Chocolate chilli lime chicken...

Asparagus tips + Olive oil + mixed herbs

Cook till slightly browned

I've been infiltrating bbqs all over the south coast with this... goes down very well!

I need to dig out the proper BBQ! So far this year I've had to use the disposable ones as ive been away most weekends.

In fact I may well stop on the way back from work and nip into the local butcher, I've had a rubbbish week, and some BBQ'ing is on the cards!

If your going to make your own burger, then add in some herbs and spices (your choice which) also I have found adding some cheese into the mix, cheeder/stilton again it doesnt matter, really makes it.

Add some bacon into the mix when cooking, and you have a burger of win.

*note to self* Buy some nice steaks to cook, get some loins, and some mince!

+1 Jack dee marinade happy days. A simple little afters recipe is score a banana through its skin along its edge rap loosely in tinfoil cook time? 5/10mins depends on how you like em, scoop of ice cream any flavor sit back and tease the dog with it.. only joking make the dog one aswell..

Also if you fancy cooked onions with those burgers dice a large one up and again rap loosely in tinfoil (double the tinfoil up) throw in a chunk of butter and season with black pepper and salt and just leave it on the outer edge of the BBQ.

No I like them too - just guaranteed no snogs.

Personally I like Reggae Reggae sauce, and found the best way to prepare is to slice a thick steak in half, and then into strips, leave them soaking in the sauce overnight, and then chuck them straight from ice cold onto the BBQ.


Also, don't overlook the buns, many BBQ's fail because they use either stale or manky buns for the burgers. Keep them shut in a sunlight proof container and ideally pre-cut and buttered.

Tomato Sauce mixed with marmite mixed in it works well if you leave some steak in it for a few hours
