10 Unique BBQ Recipes to Recommend! Instagrammable

If you're tired of the usual ingredients... BBQ ingredients that are sure to liven things up

As the weather gets warmer, you have more opportunities to enjoy barbecues with friends and family, but don't you find that the menu tends to get a bit monotonous?
A barbecue is more entertaining than a yakiniku party held at home. Why not step up from the standard and enjoy some unique dishes?
This time, we will introduce some simple but luxurious dishes and some interesting menus that use slightly unusual ingredients. First, let's look at some simple side dishes that use familiar ingredients.

Dutch oven pizza

You might be wondering, "Pizza at a BBQ?" but pizza eaten outdoors is absolutely delicious! Homemade pizza is also great because you can add as many toppings as you like. Frozen pizza dough is now available on the market, but this time we'll introduce a no-ferment pizza dough recipe that can be made in just 5 minutes. You can make it in a Dutch oven, so be sure to give it a try.

For a 24cm Dutch oven

<Materials>: 150g plain flour
4g baking powder
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
80ml water

<How to make>: Simply put all the ingredients except the water into a bowl, add the water at the end and knead.
At this point, if you knead it too much it will be difficult to roll out, so knead it lightly until it comes together. Once the dough is done, press it into a circle on a sheet of parchment paper or aluminum foil that has been treated to prevent food from sticking. After rolling it out, simply top it with pizza sauce, vegetables, and cheese, place it in a Dutch oven, cover it, and place it over the charcoal fire.
To cook the pizza, place it over medium heat (you can place the Dutch oven directly on the hot coals) and place a generous amount of coals on the lid of the Dutch oven. After 5 to 7 minutes, the pizza will be ready.

Ajillo in a Skillet

Add about 4mm of olive oil to a skillet, add garlic chips and other ingredients such as shrimp, onions, and peppers, and simmer over low to medium heat. Once the ingredients are cooked through, it's done! Add salt and pepper to taste, and serve the ajillo on sliced French bread.
If you have oil left, you can enjoy ajillo with other ingredients. Garlic will burn if you continue to heat it, so cut it into large pieces and eat it so that it doesn't remain in the oil. Shiitake mushrooms, king oyster mushrooms, chicken, and scallops are also recommended ingredients.

Mixed Juice Bar

Why not create a corner where small children can make mixed juices so that they can enjoy making drinks too?
It's fine to simply mix commercially available orange juice, carbonated drinks, milk, etc., but if you have access to a power source and water, you can also use a stationary blender and blend fresh fruit on the spot to make fresh juice. For adults, we also recommend a cocktail-style mixed juice made with white wine and fruit.
Fresh fruit contains enzymes that break down proteins, which can help speed up your digestion.

Even beginners can enjoy it! Change the atmosphere with different seasonings

Even if you add more dishes to your barbecue, many people still want to eat a lot of meat. To change up the flavor of a barbecue where meat is the main focus, why not try changing the seasoning of the classic meat you usually eat? Even with the same meat, the variations are endless if you change the flavor!

Italian style with lemon juice and herb salt

<Materials>: 300g chicken
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon sugar and chicken stock powder
1 tablespoon potato starch
1/2 teaspoon herb salt and grated garlic

<How to make>: Put all the ingredients into a plastic bag and marinate for 30 minutes to overnight before baking. Chicken thighs, breasts, or wings all work deliciously.

Garlic and ginger for stamina

If you don't have any plans for the next day, why not try some meat with a strong garlic flavor that will give you energy?

<Materials>: 300g of meat cut into bite-sized pieces
3 tablespoons each of soy sauce and sugar
1/2 tablespoon each of grated garlic and ginger

<How to make>: Put the ingredients in a plastic bag and knead them together. Let it sit overnight and bake until it's ready to eat.
The strong seasoning is sure to go down well with alcohol! If you add some "Nira Soy Sauce" made with Chinese chives and soy sauce, it will go down even better with beer!

Sweet and spicy yakiniku for adults with gochujang

If you're hosting a gathering of adults who like spicy food, they'll likely enjoy meat with a stronger punch. Gochujang makes it easy to create a sweet and spicy flavor.

<Materials>: 300g meat cut for grilling
1.5 tablespoons gochujang
1 teaspoon each of soy sauce, sugar, and sesame oil

<How to make>: Simply put the above ingredients in a plastic bag, knead gently, and bake. If you want it spicier, you can add chili pepper or shichimi chili pepper and pepper for a stronger impact.

Become popular! If you want to try unusual meats, try a barbecue.

The meats we usually eat at home are beef, pork, and chicken, but there are many other types of meat. Even if you don't have the chance to try a particular meat at home, a barbecue with lots of people around is a great opportunity to give it a try!

Grilled ostrich meat shabu-shabu

Ostrich meat tastes like fresh beef. The more you chew it, the more delicious it becomes. Slice the partially thawed ostrich meat thinly and lightly grill both sides. We recommend serving it with grated daikon radish and sliced onions, and ponzu sauce.

Herb-grilled rabbit meat

Rabbit meat is muscular and has a soft, chewy texture. Some people may find the taste unpleasant, so cooking it with herbs makes it more palatable to everyone.

<Materials>: 1 piece of rabbit thigh
1 tablespoon white wine
1 pinch rosemary or oregano
1/3 teaspoon salt

<How to make>: Marinate for 15 minutes, then wrap in foil and bake for about 10 minutes over low to medium heat.

Kangaroo steak

Kangaroo meat looks like beef, but it has a softer texture. It has a wild flavor, so it's recommended to prepare a strong steak sauce or dressing.
Grill a block of kangaroo meat (approximately 200g) until the surface is browned, then let it rest in foil. Place it near the barbecue grill and keep it warm at around 60°C for 30 to 40 minutes. We recommend serving it medium rare to maximize the tenderness of the meat.

Crocodile meat ajillo

In a skillet, make ajillo with crocodile meat, garlic, and red pepper.

<Materials>: Crocodile meat cut into bite-sized pieces
Olive oil (about 4mm in a skillet)
Largely chopped garlic
Cut red peppers (as needed)

<How to make>: 1. Add about 4mm of olive oil to a skillet, add the chopped garlic, crocodile meat, and paprika, and simmer over low to medium heat. When the crocodile meat turns white, it's cooked through. Season with salt and black pepper, and enjoy as is or on a baguette! This time, We made ajillo using seasoned crocodile cubes .
