BBQ tricks and tips

BBQ's are great things they bring peeps together they are obviously used outside (sorry this is an outside club is it not)
mastered they are cheap they cook well with prorper control .
so here is a new thread to put your BBQ idea's & recipese in

 

haloumi cheese on the bbq (in foil to cook)

sound awful, tastes bootiful! and the sqeek is great!!

 

Thai spiced salmon kebabs.


Serves 4

jar of thai 7-spice
2 limes
sml of pineapple rings (or fresh and eat the rest of it yourself mmmmmmmmmmm)
4 salmon fillets

Wooden skewers ( which have been soaked in water for about 1/2 hr-enough time to get some drinks going)


Cut the lime into quarters ( makes 8 pieces )
cut the pineapple rings into 1/4s (as many as you want)
cut the salmon into 1/4s (16 pieces)


Fill up the skewers alternating sthe pieces (you`ve all seen them) and sprinkle with 1/2 tspn of thai spice per skewer, and grill for 5 mins either side on a very hot BBQ.


Just gorgeous. You can thread a few raw king prawns on as well if you like them.

 

simple but tasty and juicy
large open cup mushrooms :cook till sriveled (wrinkerly)

they look wrong . but the mushroom taste and juice is unreal

I get "home made" charcoal from a local supplier. Its as light as a feather, and is ready for cooking in under 10 minutes. It burns very quickly, so I have to top it up during longer cooking stints, but as it gets hot so quickly it doesn't need any further help. Dunno if all homemade charcoal is like that though

 

Andy can't agree with you more, haloumi cheese mmmmmmmmmmmm. Its definitely the squeak that does it.:D:D 02

 

If you place some bricks into the BBQ to form a hole, and place the charcoal around it, but not in the hole, the temperature inside will be incredibly hot which allows you to put food on skewers into this unoccupied space and it will cook incredibly fast but will remain tender on the inside.

 

Buy a fresh portion of Tuna, Microwave it on high setting for about 3 mins, Cook 3 jacket potato's in the Microwave on high setting for about 5-6 mins each or until soft when sqeezed. peel the skins off, add the Tuna and mix together, add fresh herbs, I like chives and basil and parsley, next, season to taste and add in 'magic' ingredient Thai Fish oil, about 3 teaspoonfuls, I use more but it is an aqquired taste, roll into fish cake size balls, flattened, scorch and enjoy!!!!
These can be made in advance and frozen, defrosted at about 1-2 min on defrost setting each, I 'blast' mine on High setting for 30 secs instead! Great 'proper' BBQ grub! Jan

 

I like haloumi BBQ'd too, and must try it in foil. The squeak is the same one you get when you squeeze a packet of cornflour isn't it.

Something I've discovered in the last week. Boil some small salad potatoes in the skin, charlottes are my favourite, and when cooked put them onto skewers and crisp the skin for a few minutes on a hot BBQ. Mmmm.

If you've got a gas BBQ with a lid you can finish part cooked baguettes and rolls on it. Put them onto a baking tray with a wire grid to just keep them off the bottom, and into a preheated BBQ, about 5 mins will do, and cook for about 20% longer than it says on the packet ie 10 - 12 mins. My little red tin one does these a treat. Very handy if you like camping far from the beaten track. The next experiment is oven chips.
