extra easy BBQ time :):)

hi all , im having a bbq this weekend and would be very grateful for any recipes if u could post them on here . and hopefully this will give other people some ideas too thank u (now just fingers crossed for the weather )

I marinate lamb in red wine vinegar and mint and then bbq it. Chicken breast is also delicious bbq'd with the syn free bbq sauce in recipes section
I love bbq'd sweetcorn sprinkled with butter buds
ww sausages........

I love bbq, can you tell????

me 2 just usually it was pre bought stuff from supermarkets before started sw ! hence y im looking for recipes
how many syns are the ww sausages do u know plz?
and butter buds??what r these never seen them b4!

The ww sausages are 1/2 each I believe, and are very nice actually (best of all the low fat ones I have tried)

Butter buds are sachets of dehydrated butter - you buy them from Lakeland and they are also 1/2 syn each. Great for when you want a buttery taste!

Corn on the cob
Sausages (go to joessausages.com for syn free sausages!)
Steaks (marinate in garlic, all purpose seasoning, s&p, mustard, Worcestershire sauce)
Chicken drumsticks (blend all purpose seasoning, s&p, garlic, 4T ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, 1T honey, chilli powder, paprika, splash of water and use to marinate 12 drumsticks)
Chicken wings - same as above (wings with skin are only 1 syn each!)
Prawns (s&p, lemon juice)

You can also make lots of different salads like potato salad, pasta salad, a big leafy salad, tomato mozzarella salad, chopped salad with sweetcorn! And lots of fresh fruit with bowls of sweetened 2% Greek yogurt to dollop on top! Yum

Here it is.

Serves 4 (makes 12 cakes)

Ready in about 25 mins.

4 large skinless and boneless chicken breasts, roughly chopped
2 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
1/2 / 1cm piece fresh root ginger, grated
6 spring onions, finely chopped
A large handful of fresh coriander ( leaves and stems) chopped
A large handful of fresh mint leaves finely chopped
1/2 lemongrass stick, finely chopped
Finely grated zest and juice 1 lime
1 red chilli, deseeded and chopped
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Fry light

To serve.
Cucumber and carrot ribbons (use a veg peeler or mandolin) with thinly sliced red onion drizzles with lemon juice.

1. Preheat your oven to 220c/425f/gas 7. Blitz everything for the chicken cakes (apart from the fry light) in a food processor until the chicken is finely ground and everything is well mixed. Divide the mixture into 12 portions and shape into small cakes.

2. Spray a large non-stick frying pan with fry light and cook the chicken cakes over a medium heat for 3-4 minutes, turning once. Transfer to a non-stick baking sheet and cook in the oven for 6-8 minutes. Serve immediately with the salad on the side.
