Soak, thread, grill & enjoy
Soaking bite-sized pieced of meat, fish, vegetables and fruit adds flavours, sensations and textures of foodie joy, ready to thread onto wooden skewers, also soaked to stop them catching in the flames.
These tasty ideas make a great BBQ sharing platter:
Greek Salad Skewer
You don't have to grill it to enjoy it.
The basis of a mouthwatering Greek Salad is tomato, olives, feta cheese and cucumber with fresh oregano and a good drizzle of olive oil.
This 'skewered' version serves family and friends with a Greek Salad on a stick. Skewer the ingredients, scatter with oregano, drizzle with Stokes Olive & Balsamic Dressing, share and enjoy.
Sausage on a Stick
We tend to follow the norm by grilling sausages whole on the BBQ, but this is different - and fun.
Use 3 different types of butcher's sausages and cut them into mouth-size pieces.
Dip one type in a bowl of Stokes Chipotle Ketchup, another in our Original BBQ Sauce and the third in our Award-Winning Tomato Ketchup.
Now thread your skewers with Chipotle sausage, BBQ sausage and ketchup sausage, separated by pepper and onion and grill on a gentle heat to keep the sausages sweet and juicy and the flavours intact.
It's really very, very good.
Hawaiian Chicken Kebabs
It's not all grass skirts, garlands and Mai Tai cocktails.
Chicken pieces and pineapple chunks work so well together, but we have to balance the sweetness of the fruit with something a little fiery that says 'grill me'.
Stokes Hot & Spicy BBQ Sauce is the answer. You could simply brush the threaded skewers with this smoky BBQ sauce and its fiery chilly kick ...
Or, soak the chicken pieces in a marinade of the BBQ Sauce with the juice of 2 limes and olive oil (to thin the marinade a little).
Thread the skewers, grill and have a lovely evening.
Minted Lamb
Lamb loves mint, especially the sweet garden mint and gentle white wine vinegar of Stokes Mint Sauce.
Take mint sauce as a marinade a step further with olive oil (5 or 6 tbsp), Stokes Orange & Mango Dressing (4 tbsp) and our Mint Sauce ( 2 tsp + more to taste).
The taste combination flavours the oil, which in turn takes it all into the cubes of lamb. Thread the skewers with peppers, onion or both - courgette discs work well too.
Grill, share, enjoy.
Just add taste - spoon it, shake it, squeeze it !
