Best Ever Chunky BBQ Relish & a BBQ Meat Feast! #PowerofFrozen

In association with Iceland

It’s always tempting fate to say it’s barbecue season because as we all know the British weather has a mind of its own and we can several different seasons of weather thrown at us in just the space of a week. One thing that is certain however is being able to pick up some great BBQ essentials from Iceland! For their #PowerofFrozen campaign I was challenged to come up with a recipe to highlight their BBQ range. So after a bit of tinkering in the kitchen to get it just right I am delighted to bring you my Best Ever Chunky BBQ Relish.

My family loved this relish which is perfect on burgers, with chicken, pork you name it! It has a hint of sweet and sour going on plus a hint of chilli but not so much that kids would take a dislike to it. Best of all you can make it with ready prepared onions, peppers and garlic from Iceland so it’s no effort at all. While your meat is cooking on the BBQ (man’s work, delegated to my son now) you can be preparing this Best Ever Chunky BBQ Relish to serve warm once ready. I even picked up Instant Light Lumpwood Charcoal in Iceland which meant, no firelighters and no fuss so all we needed was needed was a match – brilliant!

So what BBQ foods did we sample I hear you ask in eager anticipation? (OK I’m building my part here, just go with it, must be the excitement of our first BBQ of the year)! Well we had 6 oz Angus Burgers (plus burger buns), Pork Sausage Wheels, Mini Meaty Pork Rib Racks and Chicken and Chorizo Kebabs which were all really tasty and top quality. All the meat was cooked from frozen either soley on the BBQ (burgers) or cooked conventionally and then finished off on the barbecue. I do like to over cater when doing a barbecue because then you don’t have to lift a finger the following day and can just eat all the leftovers. Plus my Best Ever Chunky BBQ Relish is just as good cold!

I do hope you pop into Iceland and check out their extensive BBQ range which is so convenient to have on standby for an impromptu BBQ. For more outdoor #PowerofFrozen inspiration you might like to check out these recipes from fellow bloggers which I’ll be adding as they get published:
