Long summer evenings call for cooking over the coals – and with these recipes, you’ll have all occasions covered

Piri-piri pork ribs

Of course we all know that smoky piri-piri spices work well with chicken, but they’re also great in sticky barbecue sauce, especially on these pull-apart pork ribs. True barbecue ribs are first semi-smoked on the barbecue, and will have bounce and bite rather than a ‘fall-offthe-bone’ texture. But, they can also be started off in the oven and finished on the barbecue – here, we’re giving you both options

Butternut squash burgers

These meat-free burgers are incredibly simple to make and require very little prep work. The natural sugars in the squash caramelise well on the barbecue, and a kick of chilli heightens the flavours.

BBQ halloumi fajita skewers

If your family loves fajitas, these will be a winner. Halloumi keeps them veggie, but you could use chicken, too. Cooking the cheese, peppers and onions on the barbecue imparts a smoky flavour.

Barbecue beef burger

The classic beef burger is a must-have at any barbecue. Pack a small piece of blue cheese in the centre to make it a little more special, and serve with your favourite accompaniments.

Jam jar trifles

If you’re not much of a baker or just short on time, this recipe could save the day. It’s essentially an assembly of shop-bought ingredients, but you can make the sponge yourself if you like. Cut an extra corner and buy ready-made icing – either way, the results look pretty and taste great.

Gluten-free lemon shortbreads

Bring some zest to the occasion with this crowd-pleasing shortbread. You could also try using lime or orange zest in place of the lemon.
