We all know of hot dogs, burgers and sausages on the
barbeque but how about adding some great veggies to the meal? Make it fun by adding an assortment of
flavors without spending hours in the kitchen.
Add vegetables when
cooking
outdoors on a barbeque while on vacation.
Wait, how can you enjoy a barbeque on vacation? Very few hotels or resorts have this option,
but with home exchange you can enjoy many wonderful conveniences and amenities
while visiting an exclusive vacation home – a bbq is only one great advantage
of home swapping while traveling. You
will have a kitchen for preparing your food then you can step outside with your
favorite refreshing drink to cook your meal in the great outdoors. This is the second blog with tasty yet simple
to prepare bbq ideas while traveling. Having
the option to ‘cook at home’ is great for relaxing and
saving even more money while
traveling.
With IVHE.com,
International
Vacation Home Exchange, two out of three of the listings has a barbeque for
you to use! Interested in reading and
listening to home exchange experiences, check out these
testimonials. Being on vacation you may not want to spend
hours preparing a meal, so we would like to share with you some simple yet
delicious veggie dishes for your barbeque.
Corn on the cob is usually a big winner with kids of all
ages. Unfortunately corn on the cob can
take ages to cook on a BBQ and can dry them out. Make life easy, cook them in the microwave
first, and then use the bbq grill to finish them off to your personal
preference. Adds extra flavor and keeps
the corn on the cob warm while you are finishing off your meat dishes.
Mushrooms full of flavour are a great treat on the bbq. To prepare sprinkle some olive oil on the
inside of the cap adding in some Italian spices (should stick nicely with the
oil), cook briefly on the main grill (both sides) then move to a upper gill off
the main flame. With about 5 minutes
left for the rest of your meal, with the top of the cap upside down, add in
slices of your favourite cheese. We
would recommend a creamy and flavorful cheese like brie or maybe something
stronger like Pont l’Eveque. For a
treat, before adding the cheese try adding small slices of chorizo, will create
an explosion of flavors on your tongue.
Interested in adding some spice to your meal? Onions, peppers and garlic are all every easy
and great to mix in with the rest of your meal.
If you enjoy all of these, slicing them into chunks and then skewering
make barbequing and eating easy. Simply
drizzle with olive oil and season with your favourite spice. Enjoy them on their own, quarter the peppers,
halve the onions and leave the garlic cloves whole. Like with the corn on the cob, take advantage
of having a kitchen and microwave things first to speed up the process.
