BBQ recipes

Hi guys - anyone have any different recipes - hate the usual stuff ie burgers/bangers/steaks. Quite like chicken though so I'm not completely anti meat - also fish & any veggie recipes would be nice.
Having people round Sunday and (weather permitting) gonna do a barbie. Should be OK here in Essex, seems we're gonna miss most of the rain ( might get some Sat) ::) : and Sunday's gonna be around 21 - great after this overbearing heat. Â
any suggestions?  ;D ??? ;D

Only veggie ideas I am afraid:
Halloumi kebabs?
Thread alternate chunks of halloumi cheese, red pepper, whole mushrooms, (red) onion wedges, courgette slices etc onto kebab sticks. Brush with oil (or green/red pesto and grill.
Veggie Quorn kebabs?
Thread those Quorn 'swedish style balls' onto kebab sticks (alternate with vegetables if you wish). Brush with Aubergine pesto and grill.
OK, I'm hungry now...

last time i got my wok put it in the coals and built them around the sides, threw in in mussles, chillis, coconut milk, corriander, limes etc - on a thai theme - fantastic great starter/dip course.
make sure you've got a decent solid wok and be carful with the handle - gets v. hot!

I love fish on the barby, sardines and mackeral, but I like them just drizzled with a little olive oil and salt and pepper.Â
Lamb chops do great, marinaded for a bit in olive oil with has crushed mint leaves in it. Kebabs are a firm fave, seafood ones with lovely big prawns, chunks of tuna and veggies, or of course sweet ones with hunks of banana, strawbs and apple is pretty good, with a choccy or fruity sauce to dip them in.Â
Me, worship bangers on a barby, but they have to be top knotch spicey well flavoured meaty snags!
Check out this website for some ideas.

That is brilliant EJ. I have just past the url on to my brother in law who has just bought himself a very posh BBQ set. He will be ecstatic at having over 550 recipes to try. Thanks. :) busy_lizzie

BL one of our faves, is Chicken n bacon wrapped banana kebabs.
Also did chicken n sesame kebabs last night which were YUM!
And steak n pawpaw kebabs with peppers in a yummy marinade is a firm favorite too! Â OH OH and pork loin chinese style, and ribs, (the frozen ones from sainsburys are great, can't remember who makes them though)
If you need any of the sauces/marinades for above just let me know. Have a recipe for potatoe & onion parcels which is nice if you have the room to cook the veg on the grill too!
SpeedyMango, how do you stop the halloumi dropping off the skewers, always seems to for us which is a pain, do you use a skillet thing to cook them on?

Doris - no, I grill them over the coals as usual.
Whether the cheese stays on seems to depend on the direction that you skewer the chunks - as the cheese usually seems to have been 'folded' into a block when it was made. I use nice big chunks, and skewer across the 'folds' and it seems to stay on. I also use bamboo skewers, not metal ones, don't know if that makes a difference.
Oh, and handle very carefully when grilling! ;D
