Winter warmers. What the team is cooking up on their outdoor kitchens this winter

June 20, 2022

Irrespective of the season, we can never get enough of outdoor dining and BBQ’ing. It’s a great way to socialise and entertain guests while sharing delicious meals. 

But one thing that you do have to adapt to the seasons is the type of food you choose to whip up on your BBQ. Winter BBQ’ing calls for warm, cosy meals but if you’re out of ideas, don’t fret! Check out what the team are cooking up on their outdoor kitchens this winter:

Pizza

This kid-friendly meal is a crowd favourite, even for picky eaters! Pizza is also one of those foods that you can adapt to any season by choosing seasonal ingredients. In winter, why not top your pizza with roast veggies and feta cheese? Another great choice is a Moroccan lamb pizza with a drizzle of yoghurt!  We love pizza because it’s a fun way to feed a large number of guests and have them all make their own so they can personalise it to their taste! And to ensure a crisp and evenly cooked pizza crust, you should try cooking it in our Gasmate outdoor pizza oven ! 

BBQ Cape Grim Scotch Fillet with Spinach & Red Wine Jus

If you’re wanting to impress but don’t want the fuss, you must try our BBQ Cape Grim Scotch Fillet with Spinach and Red Wine Jus! Beef is fantastic for winter as it’s a great source of iron and a nutrient-dense food- ideal for cold winter nights! 

To make it you will need:

• 4 250g Cape Grim scotch fillet

• 600ml Beef jus

• 1 Garlic clove, chopped

• 3 Sprigs thyme

• 1 Red onion, finely sliced

• ½ Bottle of red wine

• 50g Butter

• 100g Baby spinach

• Olive oil

• Sea salt and fresh ground black pepper

BBQ’D Vegetables

Even if you’re a meat-lover, there’s no doubt you’ll love our grilled vegetable recipes as much as we do! They’re a great accompaniment to any meat, or great on their own. We don’t have favourites, but if we did it would definitely be our Grilled Corn Cobbs with Spiced Mayo or our BBQ’D Sweet Potato Salad with Coriander & Lime Mayo.

Chocolate Brownie with Marshmallow

And what better way to top off an evening of warm winter dining, than to treat yourself with this fudgy, chewy, and gooey dessert! Kids will love making this with you and we guarantee that it will go down an absolute treat with all your guests! 

For this you will need:

• ¾ cup All-purpose flour

• 2/3 cup Dutch Cocoa powder

• ¾ tsp Salt

• 1.5 cups Sugar

• 2 eggs (whisked)

• ½ cup Canola oil

• ½ tsp Vanilla extract

• 2 tbsp Water

• 120g Milk or dark chocolate cut into chunks
