FIRST SPRING BBQ
What is it about the chill of a clear-skied Spring evening and the smell of bbq.d meat...? Caveman calling? Basic BBQ Rules Stay simple. Invite the people you love - the ones who won't shy away from the paper serviettes! BBQ = intimacy. Buy good meat. Never buy pre-marinated meats. ( this is especially so in France!) Marinate meats yourself, let your mind travel - sweet chilli and soy, grated fresh ginger, sesame oil & soy, lime juice & zest and green tobasco for fish, rub chicken with indian spices, roll in yoghurt and spices... Add a variety of salads, stay seasonal - Classic potato salads, green leaves, mixed tomato salads with lashings of garlic, soothing raw veg salsas, grilled veg with quinoa spiced up with Basque pepper and chopped white spring onion. Serve good crisp Rosé.My favourite is good quality Italian Bardolino.. Ask someone to bring dessert...my friend brought Key Lime Pie, I went heavenward! Best Potato Salad Ever So many potato salads...
