Sensational Sides

Turn BBQs into al fresco feasts
with sensational sides

From simple salads to American mac 'n' cheese, the vibrant colours, flavours and textures of assorted BBQ side dishes turn a simple grill-out into something really special.

Blue Cheese 
  & Strawberries

This is the epitome of colour, taste and texture in the world of side salads. The sharp tang of blue cheese, sweet fragrance of strawberries, bitter crunch of chicory all set off the vibrant green leaves. Then bring it all together with a generous drizzle of Stokes Olive & Balsamic Dressing. Alternatively, try pairing the strawberries with our Raspberry & Balsamic Dressing, or 'Caesar it' with our Creamy Caesar Dressing.

Squeaky Tomato Kebabs

Here's how:

First slice and soak the tomatoes in a marinade of Stokes Olive & Balsamic Dressing, olive oil, torn basil leaves and a sprinkling of good sea salt.

Cut pieces of halloumi to the same size as the tomato slices and thread them on a skewer.

Drizzle with Stokes Mint Sauce and grill on the BBQ, or bake in a medium oven for 15 to 20 minutes.

Simple and delicious every time.

Aubergine Parcels

Here's how:

Cut 3 aubergines into 18 long, equal slices, drizzle them with olive oil and grill for 5 minutes on each side. Put them aside to cool. Put 6 cherry tomatoes into boiling water for a couple of minutes then skin them. Cut a block of goats cheese into 6 round pieces.

On a sheet of foil, lay 3 aubergine slices in the form of a cross. Put a piece of cheese in the centre of the cross with a tomato on top and some fresh thyme. Drizzle with Stokes Mango & Orange Dressing, fold the aubergine pieced over the cheese and tomato then seal the contents in foil.

Repeat 5 times to create 6 parcels in all. Pop these on the coals of the BBQ (or in the oven) for 5 or 6 minutes to let the flavours and textures melt together.

They'll be very hot when you unwrap them, but they'll taste amazing.

Potato Salad

There are potato salads - and there are Potato Salads Made Better.

Pictured: we have waxy new potatoes, halved, boiled and tossed in butter and Stokes Cider & Horseradish Mustard as they cool. Mixed in a salad of fine shreds of red onion, pitted Kalamata olives, chopped mint and parsley leaves and coated with a good drizzle of Stokes Olive & Balsamic Dressing.

Alternatively: mix 1 or 2 tsp of Stokes Dijon Mustard into 3 or 4 tbsp of Stokes Real Mayonnaise with lots of chopped chives and 2 sticks of Spring onion, chopped. Coat the cooked potatoes in this delicious mixture and enjoy.
