18 October 2011 ,16:40 Three foods you might not think about barbecuing
We all know you can cook steaks and sausages on a barbecue, but there are many other foods which are delicious when barbecued.
 

1. Sweetcorn:

 
You can either shuck the corn before placing on the barbecue, or leave the husks and silks attached. It takes about 10 - 15 minutes to cook and you do need to watch the corn carefully, to ensure it doesn't burn. I  serve with wedges of lime dipped in chilli and salt and then rubbed all over corn. For me, a barbecue just isn't complete without chilli lime corn.

2. Watermelon:


As I mentioned you can use watermelon in salads, but did you know it can also be barbecued? Quickly sear and d rizzle over a honey lime syrup, or dress it up with olives, rosemary and oregano.

3. Paneer:


Paneer is an Indian cheese which is quite plain by itself, but smothered with spices or a marinade, this cheese is delicious barbecued. It holds its shape and turns a lovely golden brown on the outside. You can cook slices of paneer simply marinated in a mixture of garlic, ginger, chilli and olive oil, but it also makes wo nderful tandoori kebabs.

What's the most unusual food you've barbecued?
