BBQ season is well and truly underway, as long as the weather allows it. On the nice days we are able to celebrate, be sure to get your rattan garden furniture and bring out the BBQ, ready for enjoyable summer gatherings.
After what seems a long winter, however, some of us might be feeling a bit rusty or lost for BBQ recipes and fresh ideas. Luckily, the following tips will hopefully ignite your creative foodie side and help you to host the best BBQs of summer 2023.
Go for a buffet style BBQ
In order to minimise waste, it’s important not to make one large dish. You might be hosting a get together for guests with different tastes, so have a range of dishes both on the BBQ and off it. The ultimate food lovers among your guests will get to try a bit of everything and everyone else will get to pick what they fancy.
Marinate your meat
It’s common to just throw your meat on the BBQ and let it cook, but a great way to add a bit of flavour is to marinate your meat before putting it on the grill. If you’re feeling really fancy, you can brine your meat overnight and then let the BBQ cook it slowly, which really brings out the taste.
Don’t forget your veg
Your BBQ doesn’t have to be mostly meat. In fact, grilling your meats with your vegetables brings freshness to the dish and compliments the taste of the meat. Plus, chargrilled vegetables are just as tasty and can be enjoyed on your burgers or as a side plate.
However you choose to enjoy your BBQ, enjoy the summer months as much as you can.
