Smoky sweetness, honeyed citrus, tongue-tingling umami heat… Backyard BBQs dinners just wouldn’t taste the same without our favourite sauces, rubs and marinades.
While it’s easy to just pick up BBQ sauce or a special BBQ spice blend at the grocery store, sometimes you either don’t have the time or simply avoid spending on an entire bottle you know you’ll only use once.
That’s why we came up with these three DIY BBQ sauces, marinades and rubs you can make at home using what’s already hiding in your pantry.
Perfect for grilled meats and veggies, these little flavour bombs are all you need to turn your favourite grilled foods into an irresistible summer meal the whole family will love.
Let’s get grilling!
This simple BBQ sauce recipe from Kingsford is great for marinating meats like ribs and chicken, as well as slathering on top of tofu, eggplants or burgers.
This peppery fennel rub recipe is one of our faves by Jamie Oliver. We love to use it on tuna steak, swordfish, grilled veggies like zucchini, asparagus and eggplant, or to flavour ground lamb for kebabs.
We all know honey and mustard are a match made in heaven, which is why they work beautifully in this marinade recipe from PaleoHacks. Perfect to marinade pork chops, pork loin and chicken, or to lather on top of eggplant, tofu or salmon.
Salads, chips, burgers, drinks, dessert... Hosting a BBQ can get expensive.
