BBQ

If you flatten a chicken and weigh it down on the barbecue, it cooks in about half an hour. Our easy rub of five popular spices creates a Middle Eastern flavour.

Curry works in summer too - especially when it coats healthy fish and is nicely tempered with a cool cucumber-yogourt sauce. Try this addictive fast-fix rub on chicken and lamb as well.

Fresh tuna steaks are always a treat. Sliced and served on a bed of baby greens, with our flavourful pineapple salsa, they go a long way.

Never underestimate the power of simmering ribs in beer; there's no better way to produce succulent meat. Our sweet and spicy Asian sauce is the perfect complement.

Go for thick fish fillets - they're best on the barbie. Supermarkets carry marinated catfish fillets that are relatively inexpensive. Throw them on the grill while you make the salsa.
