Summer Barbecue Time

[Laxie]

It's official.  We've brought out the barbecue and will mostly be cooking on that from now until the autumn (weather permitting).  Apart from the obvious burgers, steaks & sausages...what do ye like to cook on the barbecue?  Any good recipes for marinade or whatever? 

One of our favs is pineapple pork chops.  Will dig out the recipe and get back to ye, but it's a good one.

Wild Boar sausages...immense when barbeque'd.....in fact, I want some now.

Get some bananas and make small slits in them with a knife. Push chocolate buttons into the holes. Throw straight onto bbq until the skin is black. If you happen to smoke a couple of bifters before consumption you will actually think you've died and gone to heaven.

This reminds me of Guides camp ... I confess I still make this in the oven at home because it's just devine for dessert (usually use a flake although choc buttons an easier better option, I'll use them from now on)


Edit:  we used to wrap them in tin foil as well though, and throw straight into the camp fire

Must give the bananas a go tomorrow. 

We grew up eating s'mores.  Shove marshmallows through the tip of a skewer and rotate them over the heat until they're lightly brown.  Put the toasted marshmallows and a bar of chocolate between 2 digestive biscuits (we used graham crackers in the States, but not seen them here).   Can also smother one of the biscuits with peanut butter for added calories.  Heaven!

I got well into barbecuing last summer, we've always done bbq grilling since I was a kid in Bermuda, but I tried my hand at Southern US style bbq smoking. I did smoked brisket, pulled pork, & smoked ribs - 6 hours smoking over plum wood then finally seared on the bbq grill made the best ribs I've ever had.

Got a mate supplying an oil drum to build an ugly drum smoker & planning a lot of overnight low temp slow smoking this summer - it's not going to work well with the getting fit to do the West Highland Way next year though.

wtf is a bifter?

Yes please. Today is the day that I want to be the day that I learn what a bifter is.

Thankyou

I might have been able to guess but the BBQ subject matter threw me. Smoking big fat joints, I still thought he was on about some kind of meat for a second.

Simple kebabs made from chicken, onions, and peppers is always good. Just be sure to marinade the chicken in something for a few hours before. Garlic/cumin/coriander/turmeric/lemon is a nice simple one I often use.

I saw a nifty little thing on the telly last summer - little foil bags you can buy to cook fish in. chef dude shoved in a couple of salmon fillets, a handful of herbs (dill and parsley probs) and a good drop of beer then stuck it on the barbie.

Jamie Oliver did the same with a newspaper and some string - tied it all up in a bundle, soaked it for 5 mins in a bucket of water & chucked it on a charcoal grill - seemed to come out pretty nice.

You can also do it with strong tinfoil. the only thing is there's no benefit of using the BBQ with sealed pouches - the charcoal flavour is lost.

aye, been doing that quite a bit down here in Alabama it certainly helps if you get the weather and can plan to leave your grill or smoker on for 8 hours without everything getting soaked.

they look at me as if I am beelzebub when i tell them i have a gas bbq...
