Alternatives to a BBQ

[David A]

Tin foil (not in hat format), par boil some spuds, put in tinfoil with, olive oil, butter, rosemary, salt, pepper, garlic cloves, some chopped onion, a little lemon peel, some chopped pancetta if your feeling adventurous.

Put the foil flat on the worktop and put ingredients in, then fold over and seal like and enevelope, use more foil iff needed (don't puncture or the oil will leak and cause flames) stick on bbq, turn occasionally. It just sits there and cooks and gets better the longer its left (within reason!)

I would also go with the Nachos or tortillas, if you have a fryer, homemade salted tortilas are yummy, or you can bake them.
Also wrap type things, just stick some cajun seasoned chicken, salad and sour cream in a totilla and wrap it up.

How about other med type snacks that are easy to pick at like olives, stuffed peppers- waitrose do some lovely goats cheese filled mini peppers on their deli, feta chunks, ciabatta slices etc

salads... another vote here for couscous salad, stick some roasted peppers, oil and pesto in it for a bit of flavour
another lovely salad is cherry tomato, olives, chunks of buffalo mozzarella, fresh basil and olive oil all mixed up, very moreish

have a good one x

We had Roasted Peppers, Tomatoes, Mozzarella, Olives, Feta, Homous et al yesterday. And indeed it was delicious. Just needed something with Meat substance today.

Tina K -
I have a Butterfied Lamb pre-prepared in the freezer, that dish with salad sounds great, will go with that next weekend I think.

Thanks all. Have a huge Chilli and Nachos, Tacos, Baked Potatoes, Wraps, Some Salad, Garlic Breads, Onion Rings and much Wine and Beer. Kids are in the pool, it's a scorcher, just waiting for guests to arrive for dinner.

Hope you too are all enjoying this glorious extended weekend!
