Saturday night barbecue dinner

January 1, 2010

in Cats, Home cooking

Happy new year, everyone! (I know it’s not quite 2010 for all of you yet though!)

A few weeks ago, Jac fired up the barbecue and cooked chicken sausages, onions and potatoes on it.

She sliced and parboiled the potatoes before putting them on the barbie.

We both love barbecued onions, and Jac cooked up plenty.

Pixel’s fur was dirty – she’d been playing in the garden all afternoon.

As Jac cooked the barbie, I made us each a mini salad, with cos lettuce, yellow capcisum, red grape tomatoes, green beans and seedless green grapes.

Dinner was delicious! Chicken sausages, potatoes, onions and salad.

Happy New Year Food Pornster! Hope to see a year full of yummy looking food on your website.

God I love fried onions on a bbq. Best smell ever. Possibly on my top 10 best smells.

Looks delicious, especially the sausages. :-) And what a pretty salad you made. “This is Billy Lee’s ‘I’m hot and can’t be bothered’ pose.” Lol! My father loved grilled onions; I always think of him. I’d be wanting a dinner roll with butter to accompany the meal. ;-)

my family grills potatoes that way, I have a tip for you. Before you grill them, marinate the parboiled taters in Kraft Italian salad dressing (or your aussie equivalent)… they’re delicious!

Love your blog, TFP.

Looks great! I’ve done sliced potatoes and onions in foil packets but never like this. Going to have to give them a try.

Happy New Year! Loved the fried onions, the cats, and the salad shots (in that order, lol!).

do the cats not run away when they go outside? I would love to let my cats run around outside but I live by a busy street and am not convinced they would come back lol

butterflyblossoms,
Since moving into our new house we paid to get the backyard fully enclosed with custom-installed cat netting, so the cats can play “outside” but can’t actually leave the premises and escape to the busy street. So they get the advantage of being able to play outdoors without the dangers that come with being “outside cats”.

wow that looks amazing! what type of bbq is this, that you can put onions on it?

Chava, it’s just a standard barbecue – it has a flat hot plate (on the left of the barbecue in the first photo) as well as a “grill” (on the right of the barbecue in the first photo). As far as I’m aware, most barbecues come in that configuration (fancier ones have a wok burner, or larger cooking areas – our barbecue is quite a small one). We’ve always cooked onions on our barbecues.
