BBQ side dishes & ideas

Here are FOUR of our favourite BBQ sauces. It'll give you some idea of what we're eating this weekend too.
It's usually the little bits on the side that make a great barbeque.
1)  This easy GUACAMOLE was so refreshing and made good use of my over ripe avocado.
GUACAMOLE Ingredients: Blend one avocado, juice of half a lime, half a small red chilli and a little red onion. Season with salt and pepper and add a little olive oil to loosen the mixture. Love that hint of spice!
2)  Or what about this cooling RAITA?
RAITA Ingredients:

125g full fat greek yoghurt, 5cm piece of cucumber (peeled), salt/pepper, handful of chopped mint, teaspoon of cumin seeds.

Remove the seeds from the cucumber and finely dice the flesh. Place on a kitchen towel then give it a gentle squeeze to extract a little of the moisture. Mix the cucumber and chopped mint into the yoghurt.

Season with salt and pepper. DRY fry the cumin seeds for a minute or so to release their aroma. Allow to cool then add to the raita.

3) Another favourite of ours is the SMOKY BBQ SAUCE.

Just BLEND the following and coat your favourite meat/ribs:
Ingredients: One tsp smoked paprika , one tsp cumin, 2 small cloves garlic, 2 teaspoons soy sauce, a glug of tomato ketchup, 10-15ml honey, half teaspoon of black pepper & salt, one onion. 

4) And one last very easy tip for a really refreshing SALSA - using the following ingredients: one large tomato, lime juice, chilli and coriander. Chop the tomato, coriander and chilli then mix together with the lime juice. Great on top of your burgers. 

REMEMBER: We all have a calorie allowance - do you know yours?

We began our weight loss journey in January 2011 - and began our blog in June 2011. Here's a link to the first post. (here's the link).

We like to post our main meals to show you what CAN be eaten. You won’t find us posting every last morsel though – but we hope this gives you an idea of how far calories can go! I'm currently going through the photographs and replacing them with more website friendly versions which will allow the blog to load quickly.
