5 Quick barbecue meal ideas to keep every eater happy
If the recent round of Bank Holidays didn’t spur you on to dust off the grill, don the apron and crack out some classic barbecue dishes, now is the time.
The team at Lakings adores barbecue season, but we know sparking the grill comes with its own set of challenges. From knowing how to perfectly cook your burgers and bangers, to catering to everyone’s tastes.
Not only have we got five quick barbecue meal ideas to keep every eater happy, but when you choose to stock your fridge with produce from Lakings you can be sure that you’re choosing quality, accountable cuts.
By working closely with trusted local farmers, Lakings can ensure that every cut of meat is sourced responsibly, delivering quality you can rely on every time. Inspired by the fresh stock that fills our counters, these five barbecue meal ideas showcase the products you can find at Lakings while offering something for every guest at your next get-together, including some of Chef Ambassador, Rosie Dicker’s favourite recipes…
Grilled Lincolnshire sausages with apple chutney
Lakings’ renowned Lincolnshire sausages are a barbecue staple. Grill these flavourful sausages until they’re golden brown and serve them with a generous spoonful of apple chutney. The sweetness of the chutney complements the savoury notes of the sausage, offering a simple yet moreish option.
BBQ pork belly strips with honey glaze
For a melt-in-your-mouth experience, try Lakings’ pork belly strips. Marinate them in a mixture of honey, soy sauce, and garlic, then grill until caramelised. This sweet and savoury combination promises to be a crowd-pleaser.
Spiced lamb koftas
Using Lakings’ quality lamb mince, prepare spiced lamb koftas by mixing in cumin, coriander, and chilli flakes. Shape onto skewers and grill until cooked through. Serve with a refreshing mint yoghurt dip for a Middle Eastern flair. Or, try out Rosie’s Lamb Koftas with pickles and flatbread recipe for a twist.
Barbecue vegetable skewers with halloumi
For vegetarian guests, assemble skewers with chunks of halloumi, bell peppers, red onions, and cherry tomatoes. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with dried oregano before grilling. The combination of grilled vegetables and the salty halloumi offers a satisfying option to your table. If you really can’t live without meat in your kebabs, why not try our beef and halloumi kebabs?
Spatchcock chicken
One of Rosie’s, favourite barbecue recipes, our expert butchery team will be happy to help you with the spatchcocking, while you spend your time perfecting this crowd-pleasing recipe.
By incorporating Lakings products and drawing inspiration from Chef Ambassador Rosie Dicker, you can create a diverse and delightful barbecue menu that caters to all your guests. Happy grilling!
