Fat Barbecue
Five Tasty Summer Barbecue Foods by Daniel Green-Alderson
In a survey recently conducted in the United States More Than 70 percent of homes barbeque during the summer. While this is a tradition enjoyed all around the Western world, there are many more barbeque foods that taste great – beyond the usual fayre of bangers and burgers. There are a host of foods that can be prepared including desserts, side dishes and even drinks. The following is a range of foods that can be prepared while enjoying a summer barbeque:
Ice cream sandwich
This is a delicacy for people who spoil their sweet tooth. Instead of having a bowl of ice cream during the summer which adds on calories, you should indulge yourself in an ice cream sandwich. Standard sizes rarely pack more than 200 calories and around 7g of fat and 13g of sugars.
The hot dog with onions, relish, ketchup and mustard
This packs up to 270 calories with 12g of fat and has been a traditional barbeque favourite for many years, even if it is one of the less healthy options. However, taking it easy on the dressings and sauces can lower the amount of calories and not put quite as much strain on the exposed summer waistline.
Potato salad
The potato is the ideal carbohydrate for any barbeque dish. It ranks high on carbohydrate but dismally on fibre content and a serving generally packs up 220 calories and 12 g of fat. You can serve the dish with mayonnaise of which there are now brands with a reduced fat option. Ideally potatoes can also be grilled when not peeled. The simplest way to grill potatoes is to cut them into slices and smear them with olive oil and thyme. One can also cut the potatoes’ into slices after peeling and add salt and a little pepper and grill them after you are through with the cooking.
Baked beans
This is an ideal summer dish as it contains proteins and ranks up high in fibre content. It also has a high content of antioxidants. The food is easily digested by the body. One can go for the traditional home baked ones or opt buying from the store. If u decide to buy from the store one should go for the beans with the added sugars on them. This dish packs up 150 calories with 2 g fat. This is a dish that is a favourite to many and its versatility makes it a good option for barbeques.
Vegetables and fruits
Considered a must by many during barbeques. The vegetables and fruits should be grilled most probably on skewers. There is a wide variety of vegetables and fruits one can consider for grilling. Some of the vegetables include zucchini, tomatoes, onions, garlic (not peeled), mushrooms and squash are just a few apples, banans, peaches, figs and pineapples are the vegetables to grill. Toasted marshmallows are also a great way to round off a summer barbeque meal.
