In association with Iceland
Best Ever Chunky BBQ Relish is made with mixed bell peppers, onion, garlic etc and has a sweet and sour vibe with a mild chilli back note provided by the lime, clementine & fresh red chilli. Perfect for your barbecued burgers, sausages, chops etc!
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!
We can have several different seasons of weather thrown at us in just the space of a week.
One certain thing 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 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 solely on the BBQ (burgers) or cooked conventionally and then finished off on the barbecue.
I do like to over-cater when having a barbecue because then you don’t have to lift a finger the following day and can 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.

It’s so convenient to have BBQ stuff ready in the freezer! BBQs in my house usually start with a mad dash to the shops before the sun goes away again! This relish looks amazing, don’t think I’ve ever made a cooked relish before!
Camilla
Thanks and yes Becca, Iceland ready to cook BBQ range is so convenient and at an affordable price!

I have to be honest and say I would never have thought about going to Iceland to pick up BBQ supplies but how delicious does this food look?!! The relish looks really tasty too, I can’t wait to make some and try it for myself!
Camilla
Thanks Sarah, glad to have opened your eyes to Iceland and my relish:-)
Jacqueline Meldrum
Nice BBQ relish Camilla. I used to have a great BBQ sauce, but lost the recipe years ago. I do remember it had some of the elements of this one.
Camilla
Thank you Jacs, I worked on this one until I got it just right with the balance of flavours:-)

I don’t like short cuts usually but can totally see the appeal of a bag of ready chopped onions in the freezer. Lovely chutney. Hope you have many more barbecues this summer.
Camilla
Iceland’s ready chopped frozen onions are so handy, made my Fish Chowder with the rest of a bag last night which save me chopping and mess:-)
