Simple Marinade

You can make a marinade out of any flavours you like, from curried, to hot chilli, lime to BBQ. Here is our quick marinade that uses many kitchen staples and is good for most meat and fish

You will need:

1/3 cup Soy Sauce

2-3 tablespoons Honey

1 ½ teaspoons Ground or 2 tablespoons of grated ginger

1 Garlic clove or 1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder

1 large or 2 small Onions, finely chopped

2-3 tablespoons white vinegar or sherry

½ cup vegetable oil 

Ground black pepper

Method:

Just mix it all up together! Add meat or vegetables and marinade in fridge overnight.

This makes an ideal marinade on its own or you can add chillies to heat it up a bit! Try adding lime for fish or replace the white vinegar with apple cider for pork! Works best if you can marinade for 4 hours or more.

Barbecued Dessert

No matter what age you are, the following is a very simple recipe that is fun to make and perfect for BBQs.

You will need:
Silver foil
Bananas
Mars Bar or similar

Method:
Peel a banana, slice in half lengthways. Cut a Mars Bar into chunks and insert between the two halves of the banana. Wrap the whole thing in silver foil, ensuring that there are no open edges. Place on BBQ once all meat and veg have been cooked and leave on the low heat for about 15-20 mins. Serve straight from the foil or top with cream, crème fraiche, or ice cream. Enjoy!
We know how the British weather can have it's own plan, so be prepared with our range of wellie boot stands and stores. Many a time my dad has stood out in the rain under his umbrella faithfully barbecuing, while the family sat safe and dry inside.  

With the with the promise of hottest summer on record, we are thinking it should be safe to put the wellies away and get the BBQ out.
