I used to be rather terrified of BBQs. I think this is mostly because I am an enthusiastic but fretful hostess.
I am forever wondering whether there’s enough tasty food to please everyone, preparing too many dishes and being in a state of near exhaustion by the time guests sit down to eat.
So for many years I avoided BBQ, cooking stuff on the stove instead. Having a food blog and preparing/sharing recipes constantly has taken some of that worry away and this year we FINALLY have a working barbecue – the fabulous Char-Broil Gas 2 Coal .
And since this summer has had more challenging weather than most, even by British standards, we have been taking advantage of every single sunny weekend.
This Asian coleslaw is very easy to make and will happily play side dish to a variety of barbecue mains. The dressing which contains peanut butter and mayonnaise is so freakin addicting you will want to make A BIG BATCH!
A food processor such as a Magimix makes this recipe easy peasy – if you don’t have one then either grate or finely shred the cabbage, carrots and onions.
