Six Tips for a Brilliant BBQ!
With summer in full swing and the sun set to stay, we’ve dusted off our favourite picnic blankets in preparation for a spot of blue sky dining.
We’ve got together with our butchers and chefs to bring you some of our top barbecuing tips to help you prepare ...
1. Start at the right moment
You need to wait for the flames to die down to start cooking– flame-grilled is a very misleading term! You want the coals grey and glowing. That’s the hottest and evenest heat.
2. Super sides
Sides should never be an afterthought - you could go for a classic potato salad, get some cheeky corn on the cobs on the grill, some simple and delicious couscous.
3. Let it rest
After removing your meat from the grill, let it sit for a few minutes. This seals the juices and keeps the meat from drying out, don't cut the meat until you are ready to immediately serve and eat.
4. Don't forget Fish
Fish and smoke are such great friends (think smoked salmon!). So get a whole trout or side of salmon, throw some oak chips in and go to town. If you’re feeling fancy, slice a whole fish open and stuff with lemon, dill and pepper.
5. Something sweet?
BBQ's aren’t just for savoury fare. Finish your meal on a light note by grilling slices of pineapple, or halved stone fruits such as peaches and serve with Longly Farm frozen yogurt or ice cream.
