We’re excited to share some highlights from one of our favourite videos, Rosalia’s BBQ Feast. It’s a timely video that showcases some of what you can do with your grill – offering a change of pace from the usual burgers and dogs. If you haven’t watched it yet, be sure to check it out.
Grilling for Success
First up on the grill are the sausages. The Vince’s Own lineup are not your average links; they are available in flavours from white wine to Oktoberfest to sundried tomato, and are made with a traditional recipe. Grilled to perfection, each bite offers a burst of juicy goodness that perfectly complements the slightly crispy exterior.
The next star of the show is New Zealand Spring lamb. Tender and succulent, this lamb offers a flavourful alternative to beef steak, and a little seasoning enhances the meat’s rich taste without overpowering it.
But a good BBQ feast isn’t just about the meats – colourful grilled vegetables are a must. From bell peppers to zucchini, the veggies are grilled to bring out their natural sweetness and smoky flavour. Eggplant, portabella mushrooms, and asparagus are other popular choices, adding a variety of textures and flavors to the spread. A tip for perfect grilled veggies: marinate them in oil after grilling. This helps ensure they cook evenly and don’t burn, as the oil would otherwise encourage a lot of early flaming.
Bruschetta Makes a BBQ Feast Better
Another star of summer cuisine is fresh, homemade bruschetta – toasted slices of crusty bread topped with a mix of fresh tomatoes, basil, and garlic, all drizzled with extra virgin olive oil. The key to this dish is choosing the right bread, which needs to be sturdy enough to hold the toppings without getting soggy. Each bite of bruschetta is a burst of summer, making it an ideal companion to your grilled items.
Your barbecue feast should be more than just a meal – make it an experience. The combination of grilled meats, vibrant vegetables, and fresh bruschetta (along with some local wines or craft beers), will create the perfect context for a delightful backyard get together with family and friends.
