Amazingly Delicious Marinated BBQ’d Veg to celebrate National BBQ Week with FourWalls

This week is National BBQ Week….. and it starts with a good old UK bank holiday on 30th May (running to 5th June). Yay!

The weather forecast is not great, but who cares? We Brits are always up for a barbie (aren’t we?), and shine (or rain) we can stoically don and apron, grab the coals and head for the garden.

I’m celebrating National BBQ Week with FourWalls, a brand new, exciting project that has been launched by Ocean Loans to celebrate all things home-related. Go check out their site which is a growing bank of inspirational ideas and advice for home projects, revamps and decoration…… handy since we are about to embark on (yet another) extension!

BBQ’s are a great opportunity to extend our homes into the openness of the garden and enjoy all that the summer has to offer us. With the availability of some amazing, easily transportable BBQ’s that you can now find, you can also extend your recreational space even further, to incorporate great social food with friends at the beach or on a picnic in the countryside.

We are the proud owners of no less than three BBQ’s at the GF house…… the monster gas version (convenient for large gatherings, but significantly missing out on the smoke and flavour of traditional charcoal models)……. A traditional charcoal version (which we use most frequently when garden-based)…….. and an amazing Cobb BBQ, which is totally portable and runs on special briquettes which are hot and ready to cook with in just 5 minutes……. perfect for when we go to the beach. If you’ve never seen a Cobb BBQ before, you seriously have to check out this piece of kit……. It’s brilliant!

One of the things that always makes me smile about BBQ’s is how the men take control! Beer and tongs in hand, they take ownership of the cooking as if they are the only ones who know how to cook a burger….. Mr GF even marinades the meat and can knock up a mean guacamole…… Amidst the smoke he seems in his element…… I don’t bother to offer much help with the actual cooking part….. oh no! BBQ’s have a distinct macho image for being ‘man’s cooking’!

That’s the ‘being seen’ stuff around the coals of course….. In the kitchen, I do my bit too…… prepping sides and salads, stuffing fish, and sorting veg.

The recipe I have shared with you here is one of my favourites. I have been making it for years and I have not met anyone yet who hasn’t given it the seal of approval. It is entirely gluten free, vegetarian, dairy free and delicious. If you marinade the veg well ahead of time, the flavours mingle and absorb to perfection with the veg. You can even stick it in an airtight container to transport to those countryside and beach-based barbies….

Because the veg is cut relatively small, you need a suitable BBQ-proof ‘container’ to cook it in. I have always used a BBQ-wok, which is covered in little holes…… perfect for allowing the smoke to infuse throughout the cooking-process. If you don’t have a BBQ wok (although it is definitely worth getting one), you can make a foil basket (make sure you use several layers of foil for strength), and pierce with a number of small holes to allow the smoke through.

This is a pretty healthy dish. You can use pretty much any veg you like although I have some firm favourites that work well on a BBQ…… peppers, mushrooms, aubergine, onion, baby corn, courgette….. For an added twist, I have spiralized some of the veg for this batch!

The marinade is simple but amazingly delicious. A combination of olive oil, balsamic &/or red wine vinegar, seasoning, garlic and plenty of herbs, it packs quite a flavour punch and brings the Mediterranean to your back yard.

I am sharing my Marinated BBQ’d Veg with the following linkies, in the hope that the recipe brings happiness to others too :

Free From Fridays with the Free From Farmhouse

Cooking with Herbs / Tea Time Treats – with Lavender & Lovage (and The Hedge Combers). June brings us a combined linky party of Herbs and/or Summer Berries. There are plenty of herbs thrown in with the veg to add to those summer flavours.

And when you have finished with all the savoury stuff……. don’t forget the sweet stuff….. Here Miss GF shows her S’Mores skills (with gluten free chocolate biscuits of course)….

And when it’s all over, the coals are going cold and the kids are ready for bed….. have another beer and chill……

Marinated BBQ’d Veg

Ingredients

A good mix of sliced/chopped/spiralized vegetables. I used :
a couple of small to medium red onions – sliced
150g baby corn – sliced lengthways
1 red and 1 yellow pepper – sliced
100 to 150g button mushrooms – sliced in half
2 courgettes – spiralized
150g cherry tomatoes – sliced in half or left whole
1 small butternut squash – spiralized
1 small aubergine – sliced into chips or cubes
Marinade :
approx 240 ml olive oil
100 ml balsamic/red wine vinegar (or a mix of both)
¾ teaspoon fine sea salt
plenty of freshly ground black pepper
6 large cloves garlic – crushed
handful fresh parsley
1 tablespoon fresh chopped or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon fresh chopped or 1 teaspoon dried oregano
1½ tablespoons fresh chopped or 1½ teaspoons dried basil

Method

  1. Prepare the vegetables – wash, trim and slice/chop/spiralize as appropriate to the type of veg, and place in a very large bowl/container.
  2. In a large jug, mix together all the marinade ingredients thoroughly and pour over the vegetables.
  3. Using your hands, mix and toss the veg in the marinade making sure it is well coated.
  4. Leave to marinate for a few hours (or overnight), mixing together occasionally to help the infusion process.
  5. When ready, cook the veg on the BBQ over very hot coals (you will probably need to do this in batches) using either a BBQ wok or a home-made foil basket (a few layers (for strength) of foil shaped into a container with several holes pierced through to allow the smoke to mingle). Stir and turn the veg intermittently to help the cooking process.
  6. The veg is done when it is soft and beginning to brown on the edges slightly.
  7. If making in batches, keep warm in the oven or serve straight away with all your other great BBQ’d goodies.

    I feel like I've had a bit of a BBQ education from this post 🙂 I had no idea what a cobb BBQ was and I've never seen a BBQ wok before (I now want both!). We've only got a gas BBQ because we like the fact that it heats up quickly (we also read that they're easier to clean but that's not true), I'm going to have a bit more of a look at the cobb BBQ and that special coal you mentioned as I do miss the smokey flavour of a traditional BBQ and so love the idea of one that heats up as quickly as my gas one does.

    The vegetables sound delicious, in the past we've tended to stick to eating meat in buns at our BBQs but this year I'm trying to add more veg to make everything a bit lighter and healthier.
    Do you cook the corn directly on the BBQ or in the wok? I've been wrapping mine in foil as I was worried it would burn.

      Ha Ha! Thanks Charlotte.
      Def check out the Cobb. It's a great piece of equipment…. small enough to take to the beach and is even safe to use on the garden table.
      And yes…. we always cook our corn straight on the BBQ. You have to watch them, but they don't take long and the slightly browned areas add extra texture and bring out the sweetness a little more. Sort of adds a street food element!

    No BBQ for us, we don't quite have the space for one in our tiny garden, but we have had amazing BBQ weather all week. Your veg sounds well worth having a BBQ for though – lovely stuff.

      Oh no! Maybe you should check out the Cobb BBQs…. They are amazingly compact and even safe to use on a table top! We love ours.
      I have to say I think the weather at your end of the country has been far better than ours this week (which has been cold, wet and windy!). x

    This sounds delicious! I need to have some barbecues soon to try out some more adventurous recipes. I know this may not have unusual flavours or ingredients in but I've never cooked vegetables in this way on a bbq so would love to try.

      Thanks Corina. I often think the trouble with BBQ's in the UK is that we get so little decent weather, it is really easy to go back to the same old recipes every time! Having said that, this one is a keeper and I would happily eat it every weekend x

      Thanks Johanna. I had forgotten it is winter down your way now…… To be honest, the British summer feels very little different to winter here at the moment! I'm amazed though that you don't have a BBQ living in such a perfect BBQ place…..

      Yep! Charcoal is so much better, I agree and the wok makes it really easy to BBQ veg without losing it in the flames!

Who loves a pancake stack? With Pancake Day next m Who loves a pancake stack? With Pancake Day next month, I’ve been working on some new recipes for BLENDER PANCAKES. 
These amazing American Style Pancakes are super-easy and super-healthy. Made in my #gifted @promixx #miixrx7 I literally threw everything in the blender, whizzed and cooked! 
These protein pancakes also have some fruit blended into the batter for a fruity twist.. Although you can make them without if you prefer. I’ve tried everything from mango 🥭 , blueberry 🫐 and strawberry 🍓... to cherry 🍒 and pineapple 🍍. All delicious. 
You can even pop some unblended fruit into the batter just before it hits the pan for little extra bites of fruitiness. 
Who wants the recipe? 🤔
I’ve popped it on the blog with all the tips for perfect Blender Pancakes and how to make them just how YOU want them xxx 😘

What are you baking this weekend? I’m debating What are you baking this weekend? 
I’m debating a perfectly moist COFFEE & WALNUT Cake. Intense with coffee, rich with walnut, this is one of my most popular recipes. 😁 Made and loved by many, it has done me proud. Swipe ➡️ to see the glorious sponge hidden within the perfectly rich coffee butter cream coating. 🤎
Not all coffee & walnut cakes are created equal. This one is not just a coffee cake topped with walnuts. It has a sponge which incorporates ground walnuts as well as a serious infusion of espresso. And... of course... it is gluten free too. 
Whether Coeliac or not, cake should be luxury... a decadent treat that makes us happy☀️
This cake is worth the calories... so if you need happiness this weekend, grab a bowl and whisk and bake!
