We have just started experimenting with ribs on the BBQ and it’s great fun. The pizza stone has me intrigued, would love to try it.
Yes, another day of grey skies and more rain. Where is Spring? Getting a bit tired of wearing my winter clothes. Would love to slip on a sundress. What I love to put on the BBQ at this time of year is some lamb backstraps marinated in chilli flakes, lemon rind, olive oil and garlic served with a watermelon, fetta and mint salad – just waiting for some sushine!
My husband does the best boned leg of lamb, with lots of rosemary and garlic. definitely a fave in our house.
i like to cook a bbq vegetable stack with chicken, eggplant, zucchini, capsicum and haloumi, which is then served with baby spinach and a balsamic dressing
Lemon-peppered Atlantic salmon and garlic King prawns!
I love to cook Honey-Soy Chicken on the BBQ. It’s always a winner and we marinade the chicken overnight so it’s packed with flavour.
Well I have just discovered after nearly 35 years, cooking seafood on the bbq. Salmon, calamari, prawns and yummy Lobster tails wrapped in foil with just a bit of butter and lemon and lemon juice and salt and pepper Mmmmm. So looking forward to the warmer weather to do more bbqing..
Lorraine we cook many Good Things on the barbecue… everything from corn on the cob (wrapped snugly in theirs husks) to beautiful salmon, roast beef and Portugese chicken. Like you, we are wanting some sunshine soon. Our Baby Q and big BBQ are feeling lonely. Thanks for a great comp.
I haven’t done much BBQ recently but I would give pork char siew a try. Summer has left us here. I realise this is for Aust residents only but in case I win you can post using snail mail aka ship and it will get here by next summer, just in time:)
Yummy, juicy corn on the cob. Delicious!!
I love to cook pretty much everything on the bbq, from the humble snag to asparagus yum!
If I were to win though I wouldn’t be keeping this prize for me. I would be donating it as a raffle prize for my pink ribbon breakfast.
I love to cook Portugeuse chicken on the BBQ – spatchcock the chicken, marinate overnight in secret marinade, throw on the bbq and serve with spicy sauce. YUM!!
Or sticky american ribs. , Marinate overnight in secret marinade, throw on the bbq and serve with spicy sauce.
Double Yum!!
I can’t remember the last time we enjoyed a barbecue, but it is on the plan for our xmas get together as this year we wanted to try something a little less formal. I would really love this pack, especially the pizza stone. Can’t think of a better way to spend time with family and friends than cooking outdoors and enjoying the sunshine, not to mention saving on power and not heating the house!
I like grillin Lamb chops and veggies are great, plus I’m pretty good at smoking meats of any kind.
We like to cut up some cabanossi or chorizo and cook it on the BBQ as a tasty pre dinner treat occasionally. I am sure there are some herbs and a few other things I could add to them that would make it a fancier dish, but that’s why I subscribe to this blog and other pages, for ideas and inspiration. (love reading you pages every day!)
I love my meats
i am a very simple guy so i only cook the usual snags, steak, onions, tomatoes, although i like seafood very much, i simply cannot afford it
I always cook sweet potato chips, zucchini slices, onions rings and whatever meat we’re having then as an accompaniment drizzle it all with tzaziki yummo
Ooooh a BBQ! What a coincidence because TODAY we are going to Moore Park to BUY a bbq! I do love a good bbq and we’ve put everything on it from meat to crabs to sting ray!! But you what was VERY surprisingly awesome? My friend bbq’d dates rolled in bacon. HOLYSHEEEET delicious!!
I love all sorts of things on the BBQ – but I have to say one of my fondest members is BBQ-ing breakfast when we went camping (and I’m not the camping sort) cutting holes in the bread and cracking the egg in the hole, bacon, sausages, mushrooms, tomatoes and PANCAKES
The barbeque is MR GG domain, but I love making Kangaroo Rissoles for him to BBQ otherwise a good rib eye steak and a corn cob!
YUM!
Ive alwaya wanted to try pizza on the bbq!
my favourite thinga is a good ol sausage sanga! burnt of course with lots of onion.
Wow, this set sounds pretty hi-tech. I like your basic char grilled lamb chops with that smoky bbq flavour. although I wouldn’t say no to satay chicken either.
I love to cook slices of zucchini on the BBQ! I learned this off my mum & it’s so delicious. The zucchini pieces are so juicy to bite into…you have to try it next time you BBQ!
Sweet peppers-they’re long, sweet, very colourful relatives of capsicums. Top and tail them, deseed and throw on the grill. Serve with anything but don’t forget the sour cream (light of course)!Delicious and colours up your bbq.
I love a BBQ Aussie breakfast! Bacon and eggs, baked beans, roasted banana, tomatoes and thick toast! We even have a toaster outside on the verandah near the BBQ to save us going inside! I’d quite enjoy creating a pizza on the BBQ! How novel.
I love cooking long strips of zucchini drizzled with olive oil. Soooo good!
My wife marinates chicken in a lovely ginger/soy marinade and I love cooking these up on the barbie.
I love piri piri chicken,flatten the whole bird,marinade,then bbq,
devine!!a cold glass of wine,a salad,happy days.
BBQ time – we have just starting using the barby again and this morning was just fantastic, bacon, eggs, hash browns, tomoto’s mushrooms, capsicum and warm crosants – lunch will be light, but have some lovely fresh lamb chops to throw on there tonight – are your taste buds ready!
I love nearly everything cooked on the bbq, especially by my daughter’s husband
I’ve made Fish en Papillotte and it was delicious!! It was a Manu Feidel recipe – yummy yummy
My family loves barbies on a perfect Australian summer. Whenever we have one, it will always be a multicultural affair, inviting close friends and neighbours to the multicultural themed BBQ party. We’ve had Indian Tandoori BBQs (spicy tandoori chicken, with lots of Indian spices thrown into the barbie to spice things up a bit), Thai Tom Yum BBQs (lots of fresh seafood barbie, seasoned with authentic Tom Yum flavour), Malaysian Rendang BBQs (beef barbie served with Rendang mix, yum!), traditional Australian Lamb BBQs (not spicy, all the kids love it), Greek “Opa!” BBQs (lots of grilled barbequed baby octopus, served with luscious Greek salads, except for the breaking of plates
), and a whole lot more. The one that I loved the most is the Australia Day BBQ where I get to cook my specialty, Kangaroo steak barbie, served with a splash of multiculturalism thrown into the mix – a gentle touch of Szechuan five spices for flavour, barbecued eggplant drizzled with luscious Italian olive oil, wrapped inside warm sumptuous Greek Pita bread. I love the combination of freshness and earthy flavours this barbeque brings to our Australian produce and the special meaning of this dish. The barbie is the perfect time where we get to share the joys eating and relaxing under the sweltering heat of a gorgeous Australian summer!
Theres nothing like the spring bbq with the smell of the meat and people around drinking and talking
It’s funny you mention BBQ-ing as this weekend in Perth we’re expecting 28 degrees today then 35 tomorrow – so I dare say a BBQ meal may be on the menu. I love to do breakfasts on the BBQ – eggs, bacon, chipolatas, veggies. Yum!
homemade rissoles and steak. nothing like a good bit of red meat. like you I’m raring to go for good bbq weather…… still waiting!
after the easy-lites have heated up enough, wrap some taro and sweet potato in foil and place it directly on top of the ehat beads before resuming with BBQ. at the end, you get some fragant and soft sweet potatoes and taro. eat it straight or mix it with vanilla ice cream! so good!
love herb crusted salmon with a true bbq flavour! so good!
mango with a dollop of vanilla yoghurt and cinnamon sugar
Usually, sausages…. nothing tastes the same like BBQed sausages charred on the outside and hopefully, cooked on the inside! You can tell, that our BBQing is not always that successful.
We only just bought our first BBQ and it arrived yesterday! We’re so excited, we’ll be putting everything on it
I’m most looking forward to using the rotisserie to cook a lamb on the spit. And reading through the other answers has given me other great ideas!
A big breakfast- streaky rashers of bacon, eggs, field mushrooms, tomato and home-made potato rosti, topped off with lightly grilled English muffins
I’d love to win this! We just got a new Weber Q but don’t have any accessories yet.
My favourite thing at the moment is chicken. It doesn’t dry out on the bbq like it does with some other cooking methods. I also cooked my eggplant parmigiana on it the other night when the power was out.
We cook pizza straight on the grill of the BBQ, it gives it a smokey flavour and tastes awesome!
Ohhh Yum BBQ
My favourite combo is chorizo sausage and onion 
Smells good and tastes even better 
Nothing goes past a whole fish on the bbq, make a few slits down the side of the fish, rub some herbs and butter into the them then layer some slices of lemon down each side of the fishy and wrap it in foil…so quick and easy even hubby can do it now! It used to be “you catch it and clean it and I’ll cook it” but now I’ve got him doing the lot
I’m not entering because I don’t even have a barbecue. But what a great prize for someone who does!
I love cooking sausages on the barbie the most because everyone loves a sausages sizzle and it’s not a barbie without sausages!
Potato chips on the grill plate are incredible, especially when they’re with a big juicy hamburger.
I have a family of Seafood Lovers. We go to Sydney Fish Markets early Saturday or Sunday for our supply. We grab lots of variety of fish and then get some great Asian veggie’s to complement our dished. It’s so quick and easy to prepare and serve.
I love having lamb chops and sliced sweet potato! What’s also yummy would be fish wrapped in foil, seasoned with salt and pepper, and a few thin slices of tomato.
–Lorraine,
Is it really spring down under ? Iknow I can’t win … I just wanted to say I LOVE YOUR BLOG!!!!!!!!!! Love your adventures, excitement, food, insight, humor, photos etc…. xx
home made snags – can never go wrong…
chicken skewers !!!! <3 my fave and so easy to cook and eat =]
Have you ever cooked hash browns on the BBQ? Not particularly gourmet…. but WICKED!
It’s hard to go past pork scotch fillet marinated in a strawberry or apricot/garlic/ginger marinade. They are so juicy and tender with a little touch of sweetness.
well being italian best food is thick italian sausages cut in half length ways dipped in homemade chilli salsa
buonissimo
A barbecue is the way to go.
Hate cooking in summer.
So hubby gets a go.
bananas wrapped in foil with chocolate bits studded through out. yum.
It’s been a while since we had a barbeque, but I do love BBQ’d chicken wings! I love ‘me greasy with a nice smoky flavour.
Love fish and prawns cooked on the barbie. They are quick to cook and taste fanastic with charred barbeque flavour.
Salmon! Salmon with a lime, coriander, chilli, deliciousness marinade
Chilli Garlic Prawns on skewers, it’s an all round favourite
Pssst – This delicate domestic goddess is a cave woman deep down – throw a chunky steak on the barbie for me- oui oui oui !
I love BBQ food it’s so much easier to clean up after than regular kitchen cooking.
Octopus and Abalone would have to be my favourite bbq foods, they’re great served hot with a dash of sea salt, cracked pepper and freshly squeezed lime juice or soy sauce.
Another nice combo is large hunks of pineapple on skewers wrapped with bacon, Delicious!
Best of all are BBQ desserts!
I love making aluminum pouches and filling them with berries, peaches apricots etc with a couple of shots of liqueur (Cointreau, baileys or brandy work well), With a stick of cinnamon, some brown sugar/honey and a couple of cloves. Serve them straight from the pouch with ice cream or thickened cream it makes a tremendous summer dessert.
Christmas turkey in the webber…. outstanding and has now become a new tradition in our household.
On a sunny day anything goes in the BBQ but ESP peri peri and lemon chicken and a beautiful cut of steak.
I have been making homemade pizzas but they don’t quite taste the same in the oven and without a pizza stone! I’d love to cook these pizzas in the BBQ and the pizza stone in this pack looks like it’ll do the trick!
I love getting a beautiful piece of ribeye, marinating it in some lemon and garlic and then cooking it lightly and then cutting it thinly and adding some very finely chopped redonion and olive oil.
Carpaccio of Beef in lemon and garlic
Corn!
I love to cook my version of potato salad – par-boil potatoes with the skin on, cut them into slices, then chargrill them until they are nicely golden and crispy. Serve them over a bed a baby spinach with ricotta, lemon zest, really good olive oil and a generous amount of salt and pepper. The heat of the potatoes makes the spinach wilt slightly and makes the ricotta become lovely and soft. Delicious!
Ohhh nice prize perfect for the weather now it’s not too hot but at the same time warm enough hehe
Why save bbq’s for summer, they are fantastic all year round. Sunday breakfast, Saturday footy bbq, no need for an excuse, just cook it on the bbq.
my family tradition is to make or bring an upside down pineapple cake the bbq cooks it to perfection and so moist delicious
Our fav on the BBQ is grill veg, like zucinni, peppers, red onion. I also adore koftas on the BBQ – the smoke makes them so much tastier!
So many things to cook on the barbecue! Too hard to narrow it down.. but marinated lamb chops have got to be it! Spring and lamb.. MmMmm
Definitely corn with the husk on so it gets that nice smokey flavour!
Our specialty is BBQ’d marinaded (home-made mango chutney)lean turkey skewers. We intersperse the turkey with home grown veg. They are delicious, nutritious and moreish.
I am particularly fond of sweetcorn done on the barbie, along with prawn skewers. Yummo.
Corn on the cob with lots of lashings of butter ; and I love chargrilled pineapple because it brings out the sweetness. I also love a good old steak with tomato sauce …
Again, I’m not really qualified for this contest – but I was laughing so hard when you mentioned that Kiss the Cook apron! It’s such a cliche where barbecue’s concerned!
I love my mum’s satay chicken skewers on the BBQ with lots of satay sauce.
One of the uses for my hooded BBQ is to bake an eggplant before mashing it up for baba ghannouj.
I love my mum’s recipe for marinaded rabbiton the BBQ – when my kids were little we would tell them that it was a type of “chicken”. Would love to try the pizza stone!
I love my mum’s recipe for marinaded rabbit on the BBQ – when my kids were little we would tell them that it was a type of “chicken”. Would love to try the pizza stone!
Pineapple dipped in brown sugar. Cook, chill, salt and serve with icecream. A sweet/ sour/cold caramel experience.
Can be served hot and saltless for those who ejoy hot fruit
Timely giveaway Lorraine, the sun came out for us today
I like to do Malaysian style fish smothered in chilli paste and wrapped in banana leaves, and satay! And as odd as this sounds, I use the barbie to deep-fry, since it has a wok burner on it and I can deep-fry outdoors.
35 in Perth tomorrow, that sunny enough for you?
To be honest, the barbie is generally my hubby’s domain although I love doing slices of zucchini & eggplant on there and great big field mushrooms
Succulent Fish Parcels with Grilled Capsicum and Zucchini.. it also keeps the smell out of the kitchen!
I prefer to concentrate on my guests at my BBQs so cooking is simple… good Spanish chorizo sausages to serve with simple salads and good bread.
Prawns and scallops
Love a bbq, everything tastes better cooked and eaten outside. My fave is hamburgers made with plain old mince, bread, parsley and egg served with yummo tomato sauce but when I want to be fancypants marinate a deboned lamb leg with preserved lemon, parsley, mint, garlic and oil. Then sear either side put the lid down and cook until pink and juicy.
Steaks and sausages, a big meat girl I am and not very adventurous with the cooking but am trying, maybe with these new barbecue utensils it might look like I know what I am doing.
thanks for a chance from still trying to cook!!
cant go wrong with the good old bangers on bread so traditional so aussie so yumm… so slap on a bbq chuck on the bangers and grab your bread and sauce and show that aussie pride
love lamb chops on the bbq!!
My husband would have BBQ every night if it was up to him, we cook lamb grillers and fat juicy Italian sausages, he also loves making pizza so I’m sure he will have cooking it on BBQ it will be another thing he can cook on there lol.
I’m a bit traditional in that I love to cook a nice steak on the BBQ, particularly some Wagyu.
I dont care what im cookin’ as long as ive got some great company to share it with. Yay for summer.
i’m a sauage and steak girl, maybe with this a have the guts to try more.
Good ol’ rissoles and sausages with drinks are the best for a BBQ with all your friends, but when its just the family, a barbequed lamb roast is so juicy and tasty. I also like little potato cubes cooked on the plate after the meat, they turn out crispy with that great barbeque flavour. I love the chorizo suggestion above and we’re buying a BBQ today hopefully so shall try it out.
I love BBQ the way we used to do it back in my small Malaysian hometown, such as:
Chicken wings – wrapped in banana leaf, or doused in honey
Seafood – assam fish wrapped in foil, prawn skewers with pineapples, fresh whole crabs, stuffed squid
Meat – Bite-sized steak, lamb cutlets with mint sauce
I am missing home already
But I also can’t wait to do another BBQ (if the warm weather persists long enough here in Melbourne).
Whole snapper. Marinated in Indonesian spices like Ginger and turmeric and chilli. Wrapped up in big banana leaves and straightn on the barbie. So juicy and tender and fragrant!
i love the marinated chicken wings but i go for the kebabs first as more flavour and you can get quite healthy with the vegetables on those
Baby Octopus marinated in lemon, olive oil and garlic alongside fat, squeaky slices of haloumi drizzled with chilli oil. Heaven.
I love to help alongside my dad cook his delicious perfectly bbq-ed medium rare eye-fillet steaks alongside with his mouth-watering seared atlantic salmon!
Stir fry green prawns in their shells in lots of rocksalt in a wok on the side burner. The prawns come out beautifully juicy and not too salty. It’s fun to sit around peeling them, licking your salty fingers (and drinking more beer as a result).
Take one whole chicken, split it down the middle rub with butter,garlic and lemon lots of sea salt and cracked black pepper,place in a hot BBQ with lid down. Must eat with fingers( just so you can lick them during your meal)!
Polynesian Pork Sate’ is a family favourite. I have been using this recipe for our summer barbeques for over 30 years.
Marinading lean pork cut into cubes with one grated onion, 1-2 cloves garlic, 4 brazil nuts grated, 1/2 cup lemon juice, 1/4 cup soy sauce, a few drops hot pepper sauce (I use tabasco), one teaspoon, coriander, 2 tablespoons brown sugar and 2 tablespoons salad oil. Season with pepper.
Combine marinade ingredients and marinade meat for at least 2 hours. When ready to cook, thread pork on four metal or bamboo skewers and place on a hot barbeque plate for 20-25 mins, brushing pork with marinade and turning often during cooking.
This recipe always goes down really well with family and friends.
I guess now the weather has warmed I will get the barbeque ready and cook this next weekend!!
Brick chicken baby, it’s amazing. I marinate the chicken, or some sort of poultry with the smoked jalapeno I nabbed from a South American friend…. YUM!!! Find your best brick and BBQ away… Drool! So good.
great giveaway, thanks. love your blog.
my favourite bbq to make is a butterflied leg of lamb stuffed with fetta, mushrooms, pinenuts and spinach. divine.
Kimberley rib eye steak with sweet chilli tiger prawns cooked on the bbq, delicious! We actually cooked it last night – yummo!!!
Asparagus spears in butter, then drizzled with tobasco sauce. A real crowd pleaser at our place.
Butterflied chicken, with a concoction of my home grown herbs, butter and ricotta stuffed beneath the skin. Crispy & delicious & cooks surprisingly quickly on the BBQ.
Baby octopus that have been marinated in olive oil, parsley, salt, pepper & lots of garlic. They cook in an instant and make a great little entree while we wait for the rest of the meat to be well done.
Two words…King Ribeye.
Definitely pizza. A good ole supreme with a garlic, feta and parmesan starter pizza are my favourites.
Homemade Kebabs! AND, definately…ONIONS, OMG nothing better!!!
Nothing better on the barbie than a thick, beautiful steak – and my beautiful husband behind it cooking mine to rare perfection!
My favourite thing to cook on the bbq is a nice thick juicey porterhouse steak which luckily i have access to plently of as my parents get a beast done once every 9 months or so. Great knowing excatly where your meat has fattened up at what its eaten and how it has been treated. served with a cob of corn cooked in the husk until black also on the bbq and a cold glass of chardie
I love to do a beef roast with veggies on the side, its not messy and always tastes great.
Medium rare king ribeye
Yes it is that time of year again when the old BBQ comes out. I hang up my cooking mits and let my hubby take care of what the family eats. We love to marinate Lamb Cutlets in olive oil, lemon juice, garlic and oregano. Not extravagant by any means but at least the kids eat all of their meal. For dessert, BBQ’d bananas sprinkled with cinnamon sugar(with ice-cream). Salads are the usual side – potato, cous cous, rice or an Italian tomato salad. Happy BBQ’ing everyone
My hubby does most of the barbie cooking, but I always cook a marinated chicken breast with lots of garlic and spices wrapped in alfoil. It’s delicious.
I have my own marinade used especially lamb loin chops that are perfectly char grilled on the BBQ, even my neighbours cant resist the aroma that wafts over the fence!
Burgers, snags and juicy steaks,
Seafood, chicken – all taste great,
Roasts to feed my hungry crew….
and don’t forget the pancakes too!
Definitely BACON!! any kind&all kind. The image of the goody juice oozing out and the aroma that fills the air makes my tummy rumbles.
my favourite is boned leg of lam or home made pizzas
I love cooking seafood and chicken as it is quick and tasty!
Grilled onions with beer, bananas with brown sugar and butter (even better on a campfire) and the famous Slovenian cvape. Also love grilled pineapple with brown sugar and a hint of rum…just delicious! Can’t go past All American Ribs….DIVINE!
It has become a tradition in our house to cook bacon and eggs on the bbq. I give the bacon a light dressing of maple syrup, allowing it to sink in before sizzling it on the hot grill and frying the eggs on the hotplate : )
Linda McCartney Vegetarian sausages!
Nothing better than some yummy honey bbq’ued prawns!(that dear hubby cooks of course!)
Looove doing baked whole fish and my next “to do” for the bbq is one of those chicken on a can thingys lol. They look terribly uncomfortable for the chicken
but the flavours would get right in there haha
Love some marinated salmon on the BBQ
sausages! burnt preferably
)
Pineapple Barbequed Lamb Shanks are the way to go, so tender and refreshing marinated in pineapple juice.
We marinate the lamb shanks for 4 hrs minimum with 1 cup of pineapple juice, 2 tspns curry powder, 2 tblspns brown sugar, 1 clove garlic crushed, teaspoon salt, ground black pepper and 2 tblspns salad oil. Place shanks over glowing coals and cook for 25-30 mins, turning often and basting with the marinade. Place the retained pineapple slices on barbeque 5 mins before shanks are cooked. Serve with salad and French bread and salad.
This is a delicious and tasty way to barbeque lamb and we regularly use this recipe for our Summer Barbeques. Enjoy!!
I love cooking chicken pieces(wings, butterfly, drumsticks…whichever takes your fancy) that has been marinated in minced ginger, Japanese soy sauce, chopped shallots (and a touch of honey if you are like me :p). You could cook this in a pan as well but the charred skin from the barbeque just adds that extra layer of flavour don’t you think? :>
Ravel
I love a good BBQ. Just came back from my very first camping trip where I BBQ’ed breakfast, lunch and dinner. My favourite (to the envy of the other campers) was the wagyu steak I BBQ for dinner on the 1st night (I think everyone else had sausages).
Cabanosi…it’s just the best cooked on the BBQ..hard to go back to eating any other way
Breakfast in Summer, om nom nom!
Barbequed pork chops and fresh pineapple. Delicious.
Marinated Chicken Wings … and the old favourite Steak! Nom nom nom!!
Skewers on the Barbecue is a real family treat – the kids love threading the skewers, drizzling on the marinade, and taking them out to dad who cooks them on the barbecue. It’s a real team effort and we always have fun.
Dear Lorraine
This may sound a little strange but my friends and I have cooked okonomiyaki on the bbq before, and it turned out deeeeeelish! :p We fried various cubed meats/seafood on the bbq with a bit of salt and minced garlic and just mixed it into the batter and cooked the pancakes on the bbq.
We were also instructed by our Japanese friend to fry some eggs on the side as well, and serve them on top of the okonomiyaki. I have to say the moment I pierced the egg and spread the gooey yolk on the pancake, mixing it with the kewpie mayo, okonomi sauce and bonito flakes – was a highlight of my life :>
Best regards
Ravel
Asparagus in a yoghurt marinade is gorgeous on the BBQ
A full snapper on the BBQ is so yummy! We are lucky to have family in the fishing business, so getting snapper is not a problem
Slow roasted, honey, maple, mustard glazed ham leg!!
Heat up the barbie. Remove skin from the ham, score the fat and place fat side down on the grill. Close the lid and leave for 20 mins. After 20 mins turn to other side. Continue in this manner until the fat is blackened. Remove ham from bbq, remove the blackened fat from the ham and glaze with a mix of honey, maple, dijon and wholegrain mustards. Return to Bbq, turn burners to low and slow roast the ham, glazing every 15-20mins for 1.5hours
The result is the most amazing, fall-off-the-bone, tender, juicy, sweetened meat you’ll ever eat. It’s so moorish, Im drooling just thinking about it now!
My favourite thing to cook on the bbq is roasted garlic pita bread with bacon. Makes my just drool thinking about it.
Whole snapper stuffed with lemon, chilli, ginger, spring onions, garlic and coriander, then wrapped in foil and cooked with the lid down… served with plain steamed rice and a fish sauce/palm sugar/chilli/rice vinegar sauce! Ultimate summer feast
I love to cook prawns on the BBQ. Yum-o!
Teriyaki Kebabs are the way to go for a refreshingly easy barbeque.
500gr Rump or round steak cut into 1″ thick strips
1 x 15oz tin pineapple chunks
stuffed olives.
Marinate steak in 1/4 cup soy sauce, one tablespoon dry white wine, one clove garlic chopped and one tablespoon oil. Mix marinade in a mixing bowl, add steak strips and coat well with marinade and leave to stand for 1/2 hour.
Then weave each meat strip on to a skewer, piercing an olive and then a pineapple chunk each time you pass it through the meat.
When skewers are completed place them over glowing coals and barbeque quickly, turning often. This are great garnished with pineapple and parsley sprigs and service with rice and summer salad!!
Upon my BBQ at home I always love trying to cook up a storm,
Whether tempting foodie connoisseurs or football mates with the chops and sausage norm.
Bananas wrapped in bacon… sounds weird, tastes amazing!
Have BBQ’d the usual things for years. But this year have discovered the rotisserie. We do all our roasts in the BBQ now. Saves having a hot kitchen coming into summer.
I loooooove to cook caramelised pineapple and serve it with malibu chocolate sauce …..mmmmmmmm…….
and the sun sure came out beautifully for the weekend.
What a fabulous package. Gives me all sorts of ideas!
I cook anything and everything on the BBQ – ribs, burgers, steaks, corn, potatoes etc etc!
I love a thick T-bone steak … medium-rare, add my homemade cheese & mushroom sauce and a salad … IT IS SO GOOD!!!!
Dear Lorraine
Have you ever been to Movida in Melbourne? I bought their cookbook (*ahem* actually I bought Movida and Movida Rustica – I go a bit wild when it comes to buying cookbooks :s), and one of the dishes in there has turned out to be perfect for the BBQ:
It is a chargrilled lamb skewer, which I’ve cooked on the BBQ a couple of times. You marinate the cubed lamb leg meat overnight in cumin, Spanish sweet smoked paprika, nutmeg, turmeric, cayenne pepper, sea salt, fresh chopped parsley, minced garlic, fino sherry (YES) and olive oil overnight.
I love how the fino sherry cuts through the fattiness of teh lamb. And I find the flavours of the spices really come out after barbequ-ing.
I like serving the skewers with romesco sauce – recipe also in Movida. You basically blend cooked capsicum, tomato, onion, roasted almond and hazelnut, sea salt and a bit of toasted bread in the blender :>
*drools*

Great prize! I love cooking ribs, sirloin, and skewers on the BBQ
My hubby is the best BBQ cook – he cooks the best steak which he sears in a cast iron pan then cooks for 6 minutes in the Weber…he also does a beautifully delicious chicken fillet which he firstly marinates in plum sauce….yumbo!
I love to cook sausages, steaks, onions and pineapple on the barbie.
I love BBQ’s and Wiltshire makes it a breeze. My favourite thing to cook is Yabbies, caught fresh from our dam and cooked in the Wiltshire BBQ Basket (my favourite BBQ accessory).
As said before, I love to cook Yabbies on the BBQ. I can’t wait to try the Wiltshire Pizza stone if I win.
Sausages – they make barbeques go with a bang, and fill up my hungry gang!
I just love to cook chicken on our BBQ in so many ways, it’s so easy to feed 5 children this way too.
Prawns marinated in garlic, aroma, taste can’t be beat
I love cooking breakfast on the bbq. From eggs and bacon to pancakes. Im quite the bbq afficianado these days.
Potatoes
BBQ lamb chops is one of my favs!
Lamb! And anything really… including veggies! :9
We have a new butcher in town Ivan’s Bella Vista he cuts a great Pork Roast. Salted and stuffed with some apricots and currents baked in the Webber for one hour medium heat. Delicious! The crackling is to die for.
any meats etc but prawns always that that little touch of magic
Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child (writing together under the name of Lincoln Preston). I have read all their novels to date and would describe them as spine-tingling. Each one has had
me enthralled from beginning to end.
we love little fish parcels wrapped in banana leaves, splashed with a bit of coconut milk, fish sauce and fresh chill – few minutes each side, yum yum yummmmmmmm
To keep the kids happy we cut Potatos thinly and have BBQ chips. The best food we cook on the BBQ for the adults are the Prawn skewers with galic butter and sweet chilli chicken marinade pieces. MMMM so good.
