Share your BBQ surprise food item with Lidl - chance to win one of five sets of Lidl vouchers worth £50 NOW CLOSED

[AngelieMumsnet]

Fingers crossed it will soon be BBQ season - and as part of their #LidlSurprises campaign, the team at Lidl would love to hear about your surprising BBQ successes.

Lidl say "With BBQ season hopefully upon us soon, we'd love to hear from Mumsnetters with fabulous ideas for how to make your BBQ a summer sensation! We're really excited to be working with Mumsnet to promote the range of BBQ items available in Lidl - everything from salads, to meats and dessert ideas - but we know you probably have a genius idea up your sleeve to make even the most basic foods into a BBQ treat. Surprise us!"

So what's surprisingly good on the BBQ? Could be a fairly everyday dish that's even better grilled in the open air, or something that you'd never have thought of barbecuing until you tried it - or just a particular combination of ingredients that seem to sing when cooked on the BBQ?

What reaction did you get from the hungry hordes? Why were you surprised it worked - and would you try it again? Tell us how long you cooked it for, and if it's a bit complicated please do share the recipe. Any photos are VERY welcome!

Add your surprisingly good BBQ food below - savoury or sweet - and you'll be entered into a prize draw where 5 MNers will win each £50 of Lidl vouchers.

Please note your comments may be included on Lidl's pages on MN, their social media channels, and possibly elsewhere, so please only post if you're comfortable with this.

Thanks & good luck,
MNHQ

I always BBQ Halloumi cheese and then add it to the burgers. It is yummy

I'm a vegetarian so love veggie kebabs made with aubergine, courgette, tomatoes, mushroom, onions & peppers & covered in a spicy chilli marinade

Marinated chicken, with mediterranean vegetables friend in a little olive oil

Pink salmon dip (Sneaky way to get kids to eat fish) Tin of pink salmon, tub of cream cheese and paprika, mixed together. Sprinkle more paprika on top and serve with cucumber slices.

We're a veggie family, so we love our spicy vegetable kebabs!

We love fruit BBQ'd. Pinapple, banana, peaches & so easy to do with just a little foil.

definitely corn in the cob glazed with lidl chutney deluxe range and wrapped in tinfoil! absolutely delicious!

It just so happens I've seen this the morning after having a BBQ! We had some steak in a cajun marinade all afternoon, and then BBQ'd it and served it with peppers and onions we'd cooked earlier in oil and balsamic vinegar, sour cream, salsa, guacamole and rocket all on wraps. I don't think its suprising this tasted sensational but thought it worth a mention as the effort was worth it for a change from burgers or sausages! I think the one worth mentioning is the sweetcorn we did afterwards, so little effort but it tasted amazing!

carrot and feta fritters, yum!

Asparagus and parma ham - yum! Get the asparagus and oil the grill (don't oil the spara) then give them a good grilling roll them in parma harm an lightly grill and have some mustard mayo to dip into.

Grill some bananas, them smother then in chocolate - our son goes crazy for them!

I remember me and some friends got some of that mismatched bacon pieces and just shoved the whole block onto the grill

that went dont a treat

Bananas baked on the bbq in tin foil with some honey and chocolate chips

Banana wrapped in tin foil with chocolate and marshmallows which melt over it, make a surprisingly good dessert!

Vegetable kebabs in a chili marinade. I also love mackerel on the barbeque, it tastes delicious!

Veggie skewers, we fill a skewer with cherry tomatoes, chunks of pepper, courgette and Halloumi cheese. Always popular and always get eaten!

Haddock and Pepper skewers always get a screwed up face when I first ask friends if they want one, but once tasted I soon run out :)

Portobello mushrooms with a slice of gouda - grill the flat side then top with the cheese and grill the base.

Chicken marinaded in Cola is surprisingly tasty and I also (along with many others) split bananas and put chocolates..buttons, Rolos, whatever you have to hand - inside , wrapped in foil and cooked....LUSH!!

We love BBQ'd 3 Coloured Peppers with various fillings. This is the only way the children will eat them. We say they are 'traffic lights' RED, YELLOW, GREEN.
