Summer is now in full swing, and the warm and dry weather is sure to drive people to go and enjoy the outdoors. And a great way to enjoy the outdoors is to have a good old-fashioned barbecue! In this blog, we have put together a list of 5 mouth-watering recipes that are flavoursome, easy to make, and suitable for small family gatherings or large catering events!
The Ultimate Beef Burger
Burgers are a staple summer barbecue dish due to their easy preparation and potential flavour combinations. This recipe from Olive Magazine creates a very unique flavour profile with a grilled patty sandwiched in between a variety of toppings and a soft brioche bun. Inside the burger, there are sweet and sour onions, slices of creamy cheese, and some lettuce. Be sure to grill the burger buns as well to add a layer of crunch to marry with the softness of that juicy beef patty!
Salt and Pepper BBQ Ribs
BBQ ribs are another summer classic served from the grill, and this adaptation from Country Living involves simple seasoning and slow cooking that allow the ribs to be packed full of flavour and fall right off the bone! The basic nature of the seasoning also ensures that it does not interfere with the taste of the pork but instead enhances it. You could also go one step further and serve these ribs with salt and pepper chips which will help you make the most of this seasoning.
Grilled Tandoori Chicken Skewers with Mint Raita
You could stand out this summer by stepping away from the classics and instead serve a taste of South Asia! This Indian recipe from Prairie involves a simple marinade of Indian spices for a subtle heat and plain yoghurt for a touch of creaminess. The subtle heat of the chicken is then contrasted by the refreshing raita (a yoghurt sauce with cucumber), which balances the meal out nicely. This recipe can also be paired with a range of sides, such as basmati rice or a naan bread.
Grilled Haloumi, Corn, and Pepper Salad
A salad is a quick, simple, and all-year-round meal that can suit a variety of palettes, and this recipe from Taste is both incredibly flavoursome and refreshing. The smoothness and creaminess of the barbecued haloumi pair well with the crunch of the peppers and sweetcorn. The salad is finished off with a slightly acidic dressing, which adds another element of flavour to the dish. This salad is also suitable for vegetarians, allowing it to be served to a multitude of guests!
Veggie Black Bean Burger
It is always considerate to have a vegan option in mind for those who do not eat meat. And this recipe from Bon Appetit shows that vegan recipes can also be delicious! This patty is made from black beans and is padded out with tofu and quinoa. The patty is then given garlic and chilli powder for extra flavour. The end product is a burger that offers just as much flavour as a real meat patty, making it an enjoyable meal for vegans.
