Calorie conscious BBQ marinade recipe

Saturday 20 June. So we thought we would help raise awareness of diabetes with this brilliant BBQ marinade.

BBQ season is pretty much here and we all love to amp it up and impress with little signature twists. This marinade recipe is sure to make the cut.

By whipping up this super-fast example from nutritionist and chef Christine Bailey, you’ll know exactly what’s going into your sauce and eventually, your mouth. The calories are low, ingredients fresh, the sweetener won’t affect blood glucose levels (a plus for diabetics!), and the taste is spot on.

You can even make it ahead of time! Firing up that BBQ with this secret weapon is guaranteed to impress those guests this season.

Epilepsy Action Big BBQ and a great recipe for Baba Ganosh

Today I have just discovered is Epilepsy Action Big BBQ.

The aim is to raise more for Epilepsy Action by holding a BBQ this evening. You can find out more about the event here

By the way I must apologise for the delay is blogging about this but BBQing over the weekend got in the way.

That being said even though it is a Monday I shall be running a BBQ this evening.

As a small contribution I thought I would share my wife’s brilliant recipe for Baba Ganosh. A sporked of smokey augerine hummous which goes brilliantly with either meat of BBQed veggies.

It is really simple and quick and you can do it before anyone arrived.

So here goes

1) BBQ your aubergines for around 40 mins. Please remember to prick them all over with a fork first! I would go for around 6 to feed 4.

2) Take of the barbie and let’ em coll for an hour or so.

3) Put the aubergines through a sieve into a large bowl,

4) Add yoghurt, salt , pepper , olive oil and garlic to taste. She likes to add tahini as well.

Chill and eat with an ice cold beer and some lamb!
