How to BBQ: 3 tasty recipes with a twist!

Give your BBQ menu the X-factor with these three easy recipes! 1) How to BBQ Korean-style: - Marinate meat (we chose beef steak and pork shoulder) overnight in either store-bought or homemade Korean marinade (we made ours with bulgogi and ginger, spring onion, chili, garlic, salt, pepper, and a bit of oil). - Take the meat out one hour before you cook it to get it down to room temperature. - Place the meat on the barbecue, taking care not to overcrowd as this can affect cooking time. - Turn the meat halfway through cooking time, glazing the steak to add more flavour (our glaze recipe included soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, mirin, sesame oil and pepper flakes). - Serve with Korean-inspired side dishes such as sweetcorn, kimchi and spring onions. 2) How to do Japanese robata grilling on the BBQ: - Load thin strips of chicken breast and vegetables onto bamboo sticks, then place on the grill. - Turn regularly to ensure the chicken is cooked through thoroughly. - Use a light marinade and glaze, such as teriyaki (soy sauce, sake, mirin, sugar). - Brush more glaze onto the meat as it cooks to build up more flavour. - Serve straight from the BBQ and enjoy it while it's hot! 3) How to BBQ aubergine to make baba ganoush dip: - Pierce the aubergines. - Place each aubergine on the barbecue and cook for around 20 minutes, until the skin has blackened and is starting to crack. - Scoop out the flesh and drain the excess water in a sieve. - Transfer to a mixing bowl and add tahini paste, lemon juice, minced garlic, parsley, salt and a glug of olive oil. - Mash the ingredients together with a fork (or a food processor if you like). - Drizzle with more olive oil and garnish with parsley or coriander. - Serve with warm flatbread, crackers or vegetable sticks.
