A friend of ours kindly hosted the inaugural event, with everyone taking along a dish. And what a spread was produced! We had a whole range of delicious salads from roasted sweet potatoes chips, to roasted Mediterranean vegetables, a scrummy potato salad and the classic tomato and mozzarella salad. These flavours were accompanied by lashing of rose for us girls, cold beers for the boys and of course a selection of meat. Homemade burgers were put together, along with garlic and lemon marinated chicken drum sticks and any Bosnian BBQ would not be complete without some cevapi (a Bosnian speciality, little beef and lamb mince sausages usually served with flat bread and raw onion and are well worth a try)! To top it off, fresh chocolate brownies were made for pudding which were amazing. I have been given the recipe and plan on trying it for myself – what this space!
Whilst devouring this feast, we kept coming back to the same conversations... which part of the BBQ meal is the best and it seems as though people fall into two camps... There are the traditionalists (of which my boyfriend certainly is) who believe that a BBQ should consist of meat, meat and more meat. Salads (no matter how flavoursome) are unnecessary... give him several sausages, burgers and if possible a steak or two, a bit of bread and he is happy! However, I fall into the other camp, where the salads are as important as the meat, if not more so. The more exotic and tasty the better and if it can be put into the burger bun, along with the burger, then even better!!
