BBQ Time

With the weather starting to warm up I’ve been thinking about BBQ cooking and preparing meals for spring and summer.  This is my favourite BBQ recipe and is great for entertaining.  The salad is also a good one for taking to someone else’s BBQ.  The green bean salad  recipe is based on one in The Women’s Weekly All Seasons Cook Book.  I also made a gluten free version of this salad using rice crumbs instead of bread crumbs, which was just as good.

BBQ Potato and garlic skewers. Low Salicylate.

Ingredients

  • Potatoes (peeled, washed and quartered)
  • Leek (washed and cut into 2cm chunks)
  • Large garlic cloves (peeled and separated)
  • Sunflower oil
  • 2 Extra garlic cloves
  • Sea salt

Directions

1. Par-boil the potatoes in salted boiling water (about 5 minutes). The potatoes should be partially cooked, but not soft, otherwise they will break when being skewered. Drain well.
2. Thread the potatoes onto the skewers alternating with the leeks and garlic cloves.
3. Crush the extra garlic cloves and mix with a bit of sunflower oil. Brush the skewers with the oil and garlic then sprinkle with sea salt.
4. Cook for 10-12 minutes over a hot BBQ, turning often, until the potato is tender.

Note

Low Chemical / Failsafe

The potatoes, leek and garlic cloves should be of a size suitable to be threaded on a skewer.  Prepare enough to cover one skewer per person.  The quantity of ingredients depends on the number of skewers you want to make and the length of your skewers.
