The best recipes for your disposable BBQ

Picture this; you're sitting out in the garden on a summer's eve and start craving a BBQ – this is where the disposable BBQ comes in! They're super easy to use and perfectly portable, ideal for taking to a friend's house or using in a disposable BBQ safe zone. It can take a little practise to achieve that ultimate charred flavour we all want and NEED from a BBQ. So, before we crack on with some yummy recipes, here's a few tips you might want to come back to when firing up a disposable barbie for the first time:

1) Place your BBQ on a solid stone or concrete surface, avoid grass areas or wooden decking. You can even use two upturned baking trays to create a support for the base.

2) Leave the disposable BBQ to burn for 10-15 minutes, this will allow oxygen and airflow through and keep the coals alight. Shelter your BBQ from the elements if possible, too much wind will affect the heat of the coals.

3) Test the heat. Place a small piece of veg or meat in the middle of your grill to check whether it's hot enough, if the veg or meat chars too quickly, then allow the disposable to cool a little before cooking.

Now, let's get down to the good stuff, these tasty recipes cover all bases – veggie, meat and everything in between!

HALLOUMI AND VEGETABLE KEBABS

Simply add seasoned chunks of halloumi and different vegetables onto skewers, plonk them on the grill and, minutes later, you'll have these irresistible skewers. Serve with a lemony tahini and yoghurt sauce and warm flatbreads for a delicious veggie lunch or supper.
