Different ideas for BBQ
22 Answers
Please does anyone have any different ideas for barbeque. I am new to it . Wondered if I could cook a roast, or Sunday breakfast. Also ideas other than salad to go with the steaks, cutlets sausages, burgers chicken etc. Something relatively easy would be great, as I always find all the carting about of food ,hard work!
Many thanks.

do a potato salad?
cut and boil new potatoes, then leave to cool.
add chives, mayo and salad cream to taste. Then chill.
also try mushrooms, whole flat mushrooms, brush with olive oil and cook on BBQ.
try some of the dry marinades that you can buy, pop chicken strips in a bag with the marinade and some oil and leave in fridge for an hour before cooking.

Vege skewers, chunks of pepper, courgette, small onions, and mushrooms brush with olive oil while they are cooking,
Corn on the cob
use a heavy baking tray on the rack at one side of the barbie asa griddle pan, for onions, halved large tomatoes,
Don't forget fruit skewers for dessert, chunks of pineapple, peach, apple and banana brushed with oil and golden syrup mmmmmmmmmmmmmm you might want to skip main course altogether

Cut a cross into some smallish potatoes and add a kob of garlic butter and securely wrap in foil. Put them amongst the coals to cook. (Similarly, corn on the cob cut into 1 and a half in rounds).
I always give any meat a blast in the microwave first. The microwave cooks from the inside out...........so when meat on the barbecue starts cooking from the outside in, it meets in the middle, hopefully ensuring meat of any size is thoroughly cooked.
I don't see why you couldn't 'finish off' a roast on the BBQ.........a flat griddle ought to cook your eggs and everything else for a breakfast ought to be suitable, too........except baked beans and tinned tomatoes. They're a bugger to get off the wire rack !! ;o)

I parboil some potatoes, cut them into small chunks, shove them in to a plastic bag and pour in some olive oil, finely chopped garlic and chopped fresh rosemary. Shake the spuds until they are all covered with oil, garlic and rosemary. Bit of salt and pepper, too. Then roast in the oven to serve with your barbecue. We often do a coleslaw, a tomato salsa dip, a bowl of warm barbecue sauce and halved roasted red peppers with two tomato quarters, anchovy, garlic and a basil leaf inthe cavity (Delia Smith recipe for Piedmont roast peppers). Sometimes do a yogurt and cucumber raita as a sauce, so delicious and very cooling. We sometimes do a butterflied leg of lamb on the barbie, that's great to just pick off the meat.
For starters, we often do 3 or 4 different dips plus crudites, or a gazpacho soup. Not too much starters, though as there's usually so much food for the mains. Dessert in our house is usually light, am doing almond madeleines and poached apricots for our barbecue in a few weeks time, and a pavlova for the one after that. We also sometimes barbecue sticks of fresh pineapple on the barbecue, When the fruit sugars caramelise, they are delicious! Hope this is helpful.
