What with all the different threads kicking about regarding the (Homer mode on) Mmmmmm BaaaaaaaarBQ (Homer mode off), I thought it might be a good idea to have one thread that contained advice, hints'n'tips and recipes that you may all wish to circulate to the SCOOBYNET community.

First tip, to stop food sticking put a little oil on the food before placing on the bars of the BBQ or brush some oil directly onto the bars to reduce the problem of food sticking to the bars. I use Phillipo Berrio Olive Oil as it works for me, or sunflower oil if I've run out of Olive Oil. Dont bother with virgin or extra virgin as it doesnt take high temperatures well and just burns leaving a bitter taste to the food.

Lamb kebab recipe:

Get some good lamb from your local butcher (forget the supermarket its tasteless, intensively reared sh*te). Tell him its for a BBQ and he will get the right cut for you. Marinate the diced lamb in loads of olive oil, garlic, salt and black pepper and loads of fresh mint or a couple of teaspoons of good mint sauce and leave to marinate for at least a couple of hours or better still over night.

When making kebabs allways remember to soak the kebab sticks in water for a good few hours prior to cooking or better still overnight otherwise they will disintegrate in a couple of minutes on the BBQ and your kebabs will fall apart.

When ready to cook start making-up the kebabs with red or green peppers and red onion between each piece of lamb or just have pure meat kebabs if your a meat freak like me

Get a cold frosty one and slap the kebabs on the old BBQ. Happy days

Get a disposable one and head off down to the beach in the evening to watch the sun set, lovely! (at least that what a lot of us students do )

Poor Guy

Get some really cheap sausages, burgers and any other ****e thats on offer, spend all day in the sun hammering the Stella and then proceed to 'cook' the 'food' on a recently lit mound of charcoal and firelighters lavishly doused in lighter fluid and anything else flamable, Optimax is good and it cleans the Barbeque whilst it burns according to Shell.

Next get the flames up to about eight feet whilst having some more Stella, garnish the food liberably with some more firelighters, make the food sweat but not cook as the acrid black smoke will do the work and make the meal look cooked, have some more Stella. Remember Barbequed food should never be cooked through, remember Pink is best.


Serve the food, make sure Pregnant women and small sickly children get plenty, you stand there and cane a huge packet of Doritos, washed down with some Stella but nothing off the barbeque.


Stand there feeling all manly whilst drinking Stella, enjoy the sight your freinds and neighbours trying to find something edible on a Tesco Value Chicken wing, they have a special expression that only comes from realising midway through eating how a Chickens Wing actually works, the network of sinews is a sight to behold and theres nothing better than kissing a girl who has raw Chicken Blood on her lips, mmmm good.


Then Stand with Neighbouhoods menfolk swapping manly, frank and usually illegal stories until 3 am whilst drinking Stella, by which time you have put the world to rights, peed in the road several times, decided whose wives you would 'do' and arranged two weeks in Kavos starting on Saturday.

A good one for 'nibbles' whilst you are doing the real cooking, get a shed load of asparagus spears, wrap each one in parma ham and barbecue.

Delicious

J4CKO - Was that you in my garden on Saturday?

(We must have been on the same BBQ training course..... but you forgot the mandatory patio heater for burning off your eyebrows when you squeeze past to get more Stella)

Bubba po

You're all swearers.

RichWalk

Jacko- straight out of my 'how to have a BBq manual' don't forget to inform the fire brigade beforehand!

ChrisB

Classic Jacko

Will there a part two covering how to handle the squits obtained from the raw chicken?

what would scooby do

I'm sorry - but I'll leave the BBQ's to the pikeys and drunks in council houses (no offence meant) ...and eat properly without the risk of food poisoning etc

WWSD, a Barbecue one properly is a lovely way to cook food, done badly as you say its horrid.

My description was a medley of some of the barbecues I have been to, the ones I do are superb imho, just had one tonight, Lamb and Rosemary burgers, sausages, bacon and a Chicken breast, we now have a gas barbecue which though it loses some of the taste, its much easier to do.

fast bloke

I have given your post some deep thought and consideration and I would just like to say





























**** off ya snobby bastid
<drops trousers and farts at wwsd>

Your not some boring pasty **** who looks like whitey from Me, Myself and Irene are you?

Ive eaten loads of bbq'd food and some of it not cooked as well as it should be (when I didnt know any better) and Ive never ever had any problems.

BBQ's are excellent for getting peeps together in the sun with a few beers and having a good time.

Bounce for the new season.

I was going to start a new one for recipies, but hey, what's search for?

We had one at home on Saturday - not bad, 26 people present - I'll try to find the successful recipe for Korean beef.

Tip - don't marinade chicken breasts in cream, mashed banana and coconut for 24 hours. You do NOT get a nice tropical flavoured chicken. Even the dog refused it

This is the best barbecue in the world IMO. Its our one in France. Never had a bad one yet

That's not a barbeque, it's a fireplace

My Tandoori Chicken thighs or on the BBQ as I type, very nice indeed. Yesterday I cooked a large portion of salmon which was marinated in Ginger, lime, mango chutney and red chillis.

steffiraf

You may mock but its amazing. Its about the only thing the frogs now how to do, is a good barbie. Our (french) neighbours refuse to buy charcoal for theirs, they light wood in the morning and keep it going all day!

Btw- a couple of good recipes
Put a lump of feta cheese in the middle of a large piece of foil, sprinkle with sliced onion, black pepper and chilli flakes. Douse with olive oil, wrap up and then wrap again with foil. Bbq for approx 20mins on a reasonably cool bit of the bbq. Gorgeous!

Slice a dried chorizo sausage into rounds. Put in an ovenproof dish, with a sprinkle of chilli, salt and pepper and cover with red wine. Cover with foil and stick on the barbie. After 20 mins/half an hour, enjoy. Best served with crusty french stick(to dip in the sauce)

after a **** day @ work that was a good read

GaryCat

Excellent Jacko. You forgot to make sure that the sausages, burgers etc should come straight from the freezer... Arctic Roll BBQ, black on the outside, frozen on the inside.

Gutmann pug

BBQ banana's are nice ...... remember to peel before you eat though

Hahaha, I read that and quite enjoyed it, then I realised it was me who posted it originally !

fast bloke

you mean you don't remember cut and pasting it

prodriva

The best setak for bbq's IMHO is rib-eye steaks especially the ones from my local butcher. Forget Sirloin, Rump etc rib-eye is the daddy of steaks

Brendan Hughes

Yup, also pineapples, cut into six wedges then each one sliced almost to the skin for easy eating afterwards.
