I love a BBQ.  I’m sure part of it is a reminder of my childhood, my dad standing on the porch with a cigarette in one hand, and a G&T in the other tending to our red kettle BBQ.  I wasn’t as into food then.  By “as in” I mean AT ALL.  Walls sausages was about as far as I would go.

But since I’ve grown to enjoy food, I love BBQ’s.  At home, as they’re rare, we often keep it to a “traditional” BBQ with burgers, hot dogs, and perhaps a bit of fish thrown on for measure, it’s when we’re on holiday we really take advantage.

Although, saying that, the last few weeks have given us the opportunity to be more adventurous again.  I KNOW the weather has been up and down, but we’ve taken advantage and had the BBQ out a fair old bit.  One thing I love is just to tie normal dinner to the BBQ.  Which is what today was.  I had a tone of veg that needed using up, along with some chicken so we decided to combine, and make a roasted veg, partly to go in a pasta sauce, and enough to freeze.  We decided to serve this with tagliatelle and tomato glazed chicken.
