    Italian BBQ chicken with courgettes and cheesy polenta

    Italian BBQ chicken with courgettes and cheesy polenta

    A full meal, complete with sides. Barbecued chicken is a classic, and this polenta is a delight.

  2. 02

    BBQ Rump steak with Caper and Lemon Butter

    We couldn’t have a barbecue listicle without a steak recipe, right?

  3. 03

    Grilled Aubergine Steak with Lemon Olive Oil and Balsamic Dressing

    The vegetarians at a barbecue often get stuck with haloumi or a vegetable kebab. Not anymore.

  4. 04

    Roasted Capsicums with Mozzarella & Tomatoes

    Another one for the vegetarians (without the anchovies), or just for anyone who is bored of steak and sausages.

  5. 05

    Salmon Burger with Hollandaise, Dill & Lemon Dressing

    Grilling a salmon whole is a really fun – and luxurious – time, but sometimes you just want a burger.

  6. 06

    Barbequed Warehou with Wasabi Sake Butter

    This recipe had me at wasabi sake butter.

  7. 07

    Grilled stone fruit with Crème Fraiche, Amaretto and marshmallows

    Not all barbecued food has to be meat. It doesn’t even have to be mains.
