    Summer Barbecue Ideas without Milk, Eggs, Nuts, Gluten/Wheat, Corn, and Soy

    Grilled VeggiesFoods Matter ~ Barbecues are great for food allergic/intolerant people as they allow you to tailor your food to your own needs without it looking very different to what anyone else is eating. Moreover, the flavour given to your ingredients by cooking them in the open air over a charcoal fire means that you have little need for sauces or dressings which might harbour ingredients that you cannot tolerate. Barbecues often seem to consist only of meat, which is not much good for vegetarians or those who are less than enthusiastic about chunks of bleeding steak! However, there is no reason why you should not cook a whole range of fish, vegetables or tofu chunks on your barbecue …

    Ours below includes salmon and prawns as part of our kebabs but you could equally well have cooked your fish in steaks or fillets, just rubbed with oil and lemon juice and maybe sprinkled with some fresh herbs.

    Barbecues are also brilliant for cooking vegetables. Ours included potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, onions and egg plants – apart from the vegetables incorporated into the skewer. But you could equally well have cooked corn on the cob, zucchini, large mushrooms or beef tomatoes, whole small heads of fennel – or any other fairly solid vegetable that your vegetable garden or your greengrocer has on offer. Leafy vegetables don’t work as they tend to curl up and fall through the rack into the fire!

    Because most meats that you cook will end up quite dark, it is good to use some bright coloured vegetables to cheer it all up!

    CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS

    Marinade for 12 drumsticks
    4 cloves garlic, crushed
    1 inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and grated
    2 tbsp honey, melted
    juice 2 lemons or 3–4 tbsp
    cider vinegar
    leaves from a large sprig of
    fresh rosemary, chopped

    Mix all together In a dish and leave the drumsticks to marinate for 3–4 hours, turning regularly. Baste regularly with the marinade while barbecuing.

    KEBABS

    Large fresh uncooked prawns and/or steaks or fillets of salmon or other firm-fleshed fish
    red, green and yellow peppers, cut into squares
    button mushrooms
    cherry tomatoes
    olive oil, lemon juice, sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

    Thread the ingredients onto skewers to make a bright pattern. Brush the kebabs with oil and lemon juice and grate over some salt and pepper before cooking.

    BURGERS

    We used grass-fed beef from the highlands of Scotland and absolutely nothing else – they tasted delicious.

    SAUSAGES

    We used gluten-free lamb and rosemary sausages but you can use any of your favourite varieties.

    VEGETABLES

    Small newish potatoes,sweet potatoes and carrots

    olive oil
    sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

    Peel the sweet potatoes and scrub the potatoes and carrots. Pour some oil into a dish and season generously,Rub this mixture all over the vegetables before putting them on the barbecue.

    Whole smallish red or white onions

    Cut a small piece off from their root end so that they will stand up then roast, whole on the barbecue.

    Eggplants and whole small zucchini

    olive oil
    sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

    Cut the eggplants in thickish slices; leave the zucchini whole. Mix the oil and seasoning as for the root vegetables. Rub this mixture over the zucchini and coat either side of the eggplant slices before putting on the barbecue.
