Top Chefs Share Ultimate BBQ Dishes Without a Sausage in Sight

Top UK chefs have shared their ultimate barbecue recipes for summer grilling, and surprisingly, not a single sausage made the cut. As the sun emerges, Brits are dusting off their barbecues, and the chefs have offered their go-to dishes for an al fresco feast, reports the Express.

Genevieve, a live fire and barbecue expert from Bristol Fire School, recommends balsamic and garlic chicken thighs. She suggests marinating the chicken for up to 48 hours, then cooking it indirectly over a modest flame for 35-40 minutes. After that, finish over direct heat for 10 minutes until browned and cooked through. Serve with a dressing of skinned, chopped tomatoes, basil, olive oil, lemon juice, and sugar.

Melissa, a best-selling food writer, offers lamb burgers with sumac onions and cucumber yoghurt. She warns against dry, flavourless lamb burgers, but says this recipe is light yet satisfying. Prepare sumac onions by combining onion, sumac, lemon juice, and parsley. For the cucumber yoghurt, mix cucumber, yoghurt, and mint. Form lamb mince into patties, press flat, and grill over direct heat.
