I’m hosting a barbecue for four other people, so five in total, next Saturday evening.

I know I could do the usual sausages and burgers, but for people who do a bit more, what would you do? No vegans or vegetarians. I don’t think salads would be eaten or at least very little.

I’ve got a coal barbecue and I am hosting alone, partner is not invited coming.

My husband makes these lovely beef teriyaki skewers. He marinades the beef in teriyaki sauce over night, then skewers the chunks of beef with mushrooms and peppers. They're so nice.

My most regular not burger not sausages bbq option is to go Indian.

I bbq tandoori chicken and sheesh kebabs. I serve with naan from our local bakery, a raita and a simple tomato cucumber kachumber salad.

Wrap chicken strips in bacon and stick them on a skewer.
Meatballs with cherry tomatoes on skewers.
Slices of fresh pineapple.
Marinated pork steaks.

also been years since I’ve done them but baby potatoes wrapped in foil bundles with grain mustard and honey 😋

How about chicken skewers? Chunks of chicken along with baby tomatoes, slices of pepper, and chunks of onion.
