[Quick and Delicious!] Popular Recipes That Liven Up a Barbecue (1–10)
Hearty Steak
When it comes to barbecues, plenty of people want to dig into hearty meat dishes! But depending on how you cook the meat, it can turn out tough, burnt, or undercooked—many of us have had those failures.
Even with a great cut, if you don’t mess up the cooking, you can definitely be the star! There are some tips: prep the meat before grilling, keep the seasoning simple, and sear it quickly over high heat.
Finishing with butter or herbs enhances the aroma, so give it a try.
Marshmallow pizza
Marshmallow pizza lets you enjoy the gooey, melty marshmallows and the crispy texture of the pizza.
Why not make this eye-catching dessert easily with just one frying pan? Put pancake mix, milk, and vegetable oil into a plastic bag and knead to combine.
Next, add toppings like chocolate or cream, then cook it in a frying pan.
Finally, place marshmallows on top and heat until they melt—that’s it! It’s also great served with fruit or whipped cream on the finished pizza.
Give this sweet, melt-in-your-mouth treat a try!
Acqua pazza
If you want to enjoy seafood boldly at a barbecue, acquapazza is the way to go! Using a whole fish like sea bream, grunt, or rockfish looks impressive, but fillets are perfectly fine if prepping a whole fish is too much work.
The seasoning is simple—just white wine, salt, and the like—so even beginners can give it a try.
You also don’t need any special tools: just wrap the ingredients in aluminum foil and set them on the barbecue grate.
It pairs wonderfully with baguette and goes great with beer, so be sure to give it a try.
ajillo
Ajillo is becoming a camping classic.
It’s a traditional Spanish dish where ingredients are gently simmered in olive oil and garlic.
Because it’s so simple, it’s also a dish that really tests your skills—so try to pick up the tricks and give it a go! There are a few tips, like choosing the right olive oil, prepping the ingredients, and simmering slowly over low heat.
As for what to put in, almost anything works! At a barbecue, you could show off your own original ajillo with seafood, mushrooms, potatoes, or whole tomatoes.
Kankan-yaki
Kankan-yaki is a bold fishermen’s dish where oysters packed in a can are steamed and roasted directly over a flame.
If you want to enjoy it at a barbecue, don’t stop at oysters—toss in clams, turban shells, shrimp, and other seafood, too! The method is very simple: pack the ingredients into a can, pour in water or sake, and steam-roast.
Because it’s steamed, the seafood turns plump and tender, making it an exceptional dish.
The natural salt on the shellfish provides almost all the seasoning you need.
It’s a menu that lets you fully savor the pure umami of the seafood.
Tandoori chicken
Tandoori chicken is an Indian dish whose spicy aroma really whets the appetite.
It may seem elaborate, but in fact it’s a simple recipe that anyone can try.
Just marinate the chicken in a mixture of yogurt and assorted spices, then grill or bake it.
Even without authentic spices, you can blend ketchup, curry powder, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger to create a tandoori-style flavor—give it a try! Since it’s just marinate and cook to make a main dish, it’s perfect for a barbecue and sure to be a hit.
Paella
Paella is a Spanish dish packed with intensely condensed seafood umami.
It may look stylish and complicated, but you can make it in a single frying pan, so it’s a great option for barbecues! Sauté clams, mussels, shrimp, and squid in olive oil and set them aside.
Add rice, water, and saffron water to the pan, return the toppings, cover with aluminum foil, and steam—that’s it.
You don’t even need to rinse the rice, which makes it extra easy.
It looks stylish and photogenic, so why not gather everyone and have fun making it together?
