Barbecue ideas

[ShiteRider]

We have a couple of friends coming for a barbecue later. They’re lovely, thoughtful hosts when we go to theirs and I want to make them some nice food. DH has pretty boring tastes I think, will cook a plain steak on a barbecue and it always looks dry (I don’t eat meat so in fairness it’s not something I can comment on from actual experience). What nice things could we do? One only eats meat and salad and is gluten free.

Chinese pork belly is a fav here. Marinade the cut up pork belly in a mix of soy sauce/garlic/ginger/ketchup and a tea spoon of sugar.

Chicken thighs with olive oil, lemon juice, oregano salt and pepper is really easy and tasty

Also I’m not a big meat eater so a bbq is more about interesting sides and dips

My favourite part of a bbq is the desserts! Put chocolate in foil and melt it on the bbq for fondue and get big marshmallows and sticks and make s’mores!

For normal bbq stuff I do skewers with chicken and halloumi, chorizo sausages, burgers (onions in foil cooked on the bbq) and steaks. I have jacket potatoes, normal and sweet ones that I just do in the oven and have a big bowl of salad/ Doritos and various sauces and dips.
