| BBQ ideas
So it's summer season and everyone's bbq is going. I'm heading to a bbq party soon and need to bring some food for the grill. Other than the typical steak, wings, wieners, what are some unique/different items you guys bbq?

For BBQ parties where I have to bring a dish, I usually go with something simple and quick to cook (Like skewers, which you can make at home ahead of time and take no time to cook).
I would stay away from things like beer can chicken or planked salmon as they require frequent attention and take a lot of time, which is time you could be using for partying and not cooking (unless you're cool with that or your host is doing all the BBQ'ing and doesn't mind).
I have done many BBQ parties and have come to realize that I'm usually stuck behind the grill while everyone is at another part of the yard partying without me.

if you've got access to a small food processor, you're golden.
here's what I usually bring.
short ribs
puree garlic, shallots, salt, chinese cooking wine, sesame oil, soy.
marinate + grill
mushrooms
puree garlic, add butter.
grill in foil packet. squeeze lemon juice on top to finish.
cut open foil and serve right in the packet.
eggplant
garlic, butter, fish sauce, garlic chili hot sauce (same company as sriracha), mirin and soy.
how unique were you thinking?

Normally with them I make a garlic butter mix and toss in the franks hot sauce. Get a loaf of french bread as well and dip it in the sause. It's so so good  | |
