Summer Barbeque

A beautiful dry day ... not many of these we are lucky enough to enjoy. Family all together .. so let’s dine al fresco ... its barbeque time !!!
Now comes the hard decision of what to make?? We have just so many choices. Every one wants something different, so let’s just make a selection of foods that everyone can enjoy. The smell of that charcoal and all those flavours ... It just hits the spot
 
What we went with
·         Lamb chops marinated in lemon, lime and garlic
·         Chicken thighs boneless coated in yogurt, chopped chillies, paprika and salt.
·         Lamb mince with garlic, mixed herbs, salt and pepper then made flat in to burgers.
·         King prawns dipped in chilli mixed herbs with a ring of spicy chorizo.
·         Salmon parcel with lemon, lime, salt pepper and olive oil.
·         Corn on the cob covered in melted butter.
·         Vegetable  kebab skewers,  so we have peppers red or green, onions, tomatoes, mushrooms, all cut into quarters and with a sweet piece of pineapple.
·         Vegetable sausages ( shop bought)
·         Vegetable burgers ( shop bought )
·         Tandoori paneer strips ( this is a fresh cheese usually used in Indian cooking) covered in yogurt, ginger, garlic, chilli, salt, pepper and lemon.
 
 
 
All marinated dishes were done the night before. This just means you have the whole night for the meat, veg or fish to absorb and soak in all those wonderful flavours.
Bit by bit all the items were placed on the barbeque, as and when something was ready, it was a nice surprise as to what was coming next.
To me, the great thing about barbecue’s, if you start them early is that you can nibble away into the night and turn the evening meal into one great party.
So now we have over eaten I will leave you to enjoy yours  !!
 
Tantalising !!
