Great news! The sun’s out this week (woop woop!), so I’ve been firing up the grill and trying out mouthwatering barbecue recipes sure to impress at your next garden get together.

In this list, you’ll find a bit of everything. Sticky barbecue chicken (of course), but also glazy miso aubergines for the vegans, tandoori fish skewers and a peri-peri sauce you’ll want to smother over everything. Here are 11 recipes that’ll have your guests talking about your barbecue for years to come.

Vietnamese-style Lemongrass Chicken

In Vietnam, street vendors sizzle chicken over an open flame until charred, fragrant and super succulent. The trick is to keep basting your chicken with a lemongrass-garlic-ginger marinade until it’s done, so your meat stays moist and full of flavour.

Miso-glazed Aubergine

This glazy, sweet yet savoury dish goes out to all the vegans at your barbecue! Rather than cutting your aubergines in half, slice them into 3cm discs before smothering in sticky miso glaze. Then just pop them on medium to high heat until charred, smoky and pull-apart tender.

Pulled Jackfruit Pibil Tacos

Recreate the spicy, citrusy zing of a Mexican pibil taco, with none of the meat! Marinate your jackfruit in orange, lime and achiote paste, wrap it in tin foil and pop it on low for 30-45 minutes until pull-apart tender and the jackfruit has absorbed all the sauce.
