Are you planning to go camping with your friends while still wondering what to cook for them? For some people, cooking outdoors could sound intimidating and a hassle, bringing the utensils, stove, table, etc. But there is a better alternative, getting a trolley BBQ grill that is portable and lightweight, just like Homful’s Trolley BBQ Grill.
Cooking one or two dishes is a regular thing, but cooking different dishes from around the world will surely give your friends a new culinary perspective. With such an easy-to-use grill, you could make other grilled food, starting from the appetizer, main course, and desserts. Boiled and stir-fried dishes are available if you bring your pots and pans.
Try making these 10 BBQ grill-themed food, compiled from recipes around the world, to impress your peers:
1. Oyster Mushroom Satay
Satay is a popular skewer dish that originated in Indonesia, with numerous variations of ingredients. The most common are beef, chicken, and mutton; you could use mushrooms to make satay. Oyster mushrooms have light, but pleasant mushroom tastes with a meaty texture. This recipe is also a good choice for friends who don't consume meat and prefer plant-based food. To prepare it, arrange the mushroom into skewers and grill it while continuously basting it with your seasonings of choice. Any grilling sauce will do, but if you want to make the authentic one use sweet soy sauce while grilling and serve it with spicy peanut sauce.
2. BBQ Ribs
The classic choice of ribs includes beef and pork ribs, which are delicious and delightful. Every family has its version of BBQ sauce, but the idea is still the same: to make the already flavorful ribs even more delicious. Marinade the ribs first until the meat is permeated, and grill it until it reaches your desired doneness. Serve it with potatoes, which could be mashed or roasted, or enjoy it with rice.
Don't be afraid to pick the fattiest ribs and miss out on the juicy ribs. With Homful BBQ Grill's oil collector, you don't need to worry about oil dripping.
3. Roasted Potatoes
Homful Outdoor Barbecue Grill could also be used as a stove. You could bring your pots and pans to cook with them. Try making roasted potatoes to accompany your choice of grilled protein. You can use baby or cubed potatoes; season them with salt, pepper, oil, and herbs like oregano and parsley, and sauté them until the outside is browned. These potatoes are a great source of carbs and healthy nutrients; try to include them in your grilled meal.
4. Char Siu with Rice and Bok Choy
This Chinese dish is loved by everyone who tastes it. The glistening red color of the meat will surely increase your friends' appetite. Most recipes call for salt and sugar for their salty and sweet contrast, followed by the subtle flavor of the Chinese five spices and other seasonings in the marinade. While roasting it, baste it with the marinade to get that caramelized outside. The dripping sauce will not dirty the stove since the Homful BBQ grill's oil collector will catch not just oil but any liquid that may drop in the cooking process.
It is best enjoyed with rice and stir-fried bok choy, giving your friends delightful oriental flavors.
5. Grilled Chicken with Chimichurri Sauce
Everyone loves chicken! It's no surprise that it is popular. Grilled chicken is often healthier and more affordable than red meat like beef. To cook it, cut your chicken into meal-size pieces and season it with oil, salt, and pepper. It will taste great nonetheless and even better with an Argentinian twist, the chimichurri. It is a sauce that accompanies grilled meat, chopping parsley, garlic, olive oil, oregano, and vinegar. The fragrance of the herbs and garlic, plus the zing from the vinegar in the chimichurri, will elevate your grilled chicken to a new level.
6. Salmon Steak with Roasted Vegetables
There are always exceptions if beef and chicken dishes are not your preference; perhaps fish will suit you better. Salmon is known for its savory, fatty goodness that could be enjoyed raw as sushi, cooked in salmon metal, or grilled as a steak on an outdoor barbecue. Not only packed with potassium and omega-3 fatty acids, salmon, is also a delicious and healthy choice of meal for you and your friends to enjoy. Apply oil to your grill and the salmon's skin to avoid it sticking to the grill, season according to your taste, and then sear its skin side down first to achieve that beautiful grill mark. Try not to turn it over as it may cause it to break apart. Drizzle lemon juice before serving, and serve it with your favorite roasted vegetables.
7. Yakitori
The name of this skewer dish, Yakitori, literally means grilled bird. It is made by skewering the chicken meat and examining it with the yakitori sauce made from soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sugar. Some recipes use quail and duck meat, but chicken is the most common. Not only the meat, but you could also use the skin and even innards to experience a range of flavors and textures.
The traditional way of making Yakitori will require charcoal to grill the skewers, but sometimes having to bring charcoal is a messy chore. If you want to avoid charcoal, using a gas-fueled grill like Homful BBQ Grill is also brilliant. Using liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is more practical and 80% more energy efficient.
8. Doner Kebab
With this Turkish specialty, you will surely bring your friends around the culinary world. Doner kebab is made from lamb and beef, seasoned thoroughly with Middle Eastern spices. It is served inside various types of bread like pita bread or flatbreads like lavash or Yufka, alongside vegetables like tomato, cabbage, lettuce leaves, onion, pickles, and sometimes chili for a spicy addition. Doner is usually grilled vertically on a big metal pole, but you can also cook it with smaller metal skewers in a la barbecue on a portable grill.
9. Korean-style BBQ
There are various recipes to make Korean-style marinade and sauce, but frankly, any BBQ sauce will do. What makes Korean BBQ unique is how to enjoy it: putting the fresh-from-the-grill meat into a lettuce leave and adding some garlic and spicy soybean paste. A combination of hot sizzling meat, garlicky and spicy taste, and the crunch of the lettuce leaves will surely you're your guests fall in love with it.
10. Grilled Marshmallow with Hot Chocolate
Want to end your outdoor BBQ with a sweet note? This sweet treat is a simple yet great dessert that matches the BBQ vibe. It would be best to put it in a stick, either one by one or like a skewer, over the grill flame. It won't take long until it is golden brown, melted on the inside, and ready to serve. Enjoy it as it is, or you could add it to your cup of hot chocolate. The sweetness of the marshmallow and the hot chocolate will embrace you like a warm hug.
If you want to tidy up right after dessert, you got it! It's easy to do so since Homful BBQ Grill has a trolley to help you move the BBQ back to your house or car.
