BBQ Suggestions

Hi all

My friend is holding a BBQ next Thurs as England are playing Trinidad and Tobago in the world cup ( we went to Tobago in March for her wedding ). I was wondering if anyone had any ideas of what I could take with me to put on the barbie? I'm in Extended Induction and would love to have Chicken Skewers with Peanut Satay sauce...but I'm not allowed!!!

Thanks

My DH has been grilling onions at everyone's barbeques!! He peels off the onion skin, slices the onion in half, drizzles olive oil on the onion halves and places them on the grill. They are AMAZING!!! Onion's kinda carby so I always just have one, but we always bring sausages too, so I fill up on a couple of those, a bunless hamburger, and salad (another great thing to bring!). We keep it simple and blend right in with our "bread-eater" friends.

Re: BBQ Suggestions

here you go my favorite Caribbean style marinade (it is actually a Cuban recipe) great for chicken skewers!

1 Cup Extra Virgin or Virgin Olive Oil
10 large cloves fresh Garlic,
¼ cup fresh Cilantro fine
½ teaspoon ground Oregano
2 teaspoons ground Cumin
⅛ teaspoon Ac'cent Flavor Enhancer (MSG optional)
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon ground Black Pepper
⅓ cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 Cup fresh squeezed Lime Juice (Sour Orange Juice, ok)

toss in the blender then marinate meat of choice... this is wonderful on chicken wings put in ziploc bags and leave them to soak over night...if you do boneless/skinless breasts only marinate 1 hours
great on pork and beef as well

Re: BBQ Suggestions

Mmmm sounds yummy Heidi!! Will see if I can find those ingredients.

Could you take a look at my ice cream post too?

I think I might make some atkins burgers with cheese and bacon too!!

Re: BBQ Suggestions

If you cant find the ingredients, or in a pinch; GOYA makes a great MOJO marinade all made and bottled for ya. It isnt half bad.

It is in the authentic food section in the grocer, the brand GOYA that makes beans ect.

I use it in a pinch, and everyone seems to love..

Iknow it doesnt hold a candle to homemade, but works.

Re: BBQ Suggestions

This is my abosolute favourite bbq recipe, and it's dead simple.

amounts can be whatever you like, for how many ppl you are feeding.

Cut up the following in 1" or so chunks.

yellow zucchini (optional..they are very expensive here right now. almost $3 each!)
green zucchini
onion
green, red, yellow peppers

toss it all in a ziplock bag (great if taking it to a party) or a bowl and cover with a bit of olive oil and mix to cover all. add salt, pepper. put in an grill pan (i use disposable ones). grill for about 15 mins stirring it around until all the veggies are cooked thru.

I also made this the other day and i sprinkled it with lots of parmesan cheese (the canned kind) and it was awesome!

I've made this for friends it gets rave reviews..even from non veggie lovers.



sorry not the greatest pic..but this give you an idea
