| 18 October 2011 ,18:46 Three foods you might not think about barbecuing |
We all know you can cook steaks and sausages on a barbecue, but there are many other foods which are delicious when barbecued.
You can either shuck the corn before placing on the barbecue, or leave the husks and silks attached. It takes about 10 - 15 minutes to cook and you do need to watch the corn carefully, to ensure it doesn't burn. I serve with wedges of lime dipped in chilli and salt and then rubbed all over corn. For me, a barbecue just isn't complete without chilli lime corn.
As I mentioned you can use watermelon in salads, but did you know it can also be barbecued? Quickly sear and drizzle over a honey lime syrup, or dress it up with olives, rosemary and oregano.
Paneer is an Indian cheese which is quite plain by itself, but smothered with spices or a marinade, this cheese is delicious barbecued. It holds its shape and turns a lovely golden brown on the outside. You can cook slices of paneer simply marinated in a mixture of garlic, ginger, chilli and olive oil, but it also makes wonderful tandoori kebabs.
