It’s National BBQ Week!

National BBQ week starts today, so what better excuse to fire up the barbie, stoke the coals and try something different on the BBQ?

Try this…

Add branches from herb bushes to the flames to infuse the smoke with flavour - rosemary would be great with lamb.

Roast seasonal veg like courgettes, aubergines and asparagus, marinated in mint, oil and chili.

Rub sweet potatoes with olive oil and salt, then wrap them in foil and pop them straight on glowing red coals for half an hour, turning them halfway through. Unwrap and split them open - lovely with sour cream and chives, or homemade guacamole.

Grill peeled bananas in a sausage rack till crispy on the outside and melty inside.  Sprinkle over some cinnamon and brown sugar beforehand, or rum for the adults!
