JAMIE OLIVER ENCOURAGES THE NATION TO GET BARBECUE READY WITH THE RELEASE OF FOUR SIZZLING NEW RECIPES

It’s time to go beyond bangers and burgers! This year, it’s all about making BBQ food that feeds the soul with big flavours for friends and family.

Chef and restaurateur, Jamie Oliver has partnered with Weber barbecues to release four incredible barbecue recipes to encourage the nation to move away from basic burgers and bangers and have more fun with big flavours when it comes to outdoor cooking.

Turning up the heat on people’s barbecue skills, Jamie’s new recipes, which, on the Weber Genesis Gas barbecue and Weber Master-Touch Charcoal barbecue, are certain to get people to fire up their grills all year round, with intense, smokey flavours that can't be replicated in the kitchen. Jamie’s mouthwatering recipes show that when it comes to outdoor cooking, the possibilities are endless. The delicious menu includes:

Roast chicken and salsa verde with Hasselback potatoes, dressed squash and roasted whole savoy.

Crispy barbecued salmon with golden new potatoes, dressed asparagus and roasted tomatoes.

Epic grilled veg with a herby couscous salad and grilled feta.

Slow-cooked lamb shoulder with grilled aubergine and tomato, flatbreads and pickled chillies.

The partnership comes after a Weber survey of 1,716 people found that 77% immediately associate good weather and outdoor moments with friends and family when they think about having a barbecue. But, as the survey shows, the nation would love to barbecue all year-round if they had the right knowledge and recipes.

In a bid to inspire more people to realise their full barbecue potential, the partnership will show the many benefits of year-round barbecuing, from helping to bring people closer together, to connecting more with what they’re cooking as well as showing how it can be more efficient and tasty than traditional cooking methods.

Talking about his passion for barbecuing, Jamie said: “I love barbecuing. There is nothing more satisfying than firing up the coals whether it's spring, summer, autumn or winter and enjoying the distinctive, smokey flavour that you can only get from a Weber barbecue. I want to encourage people to totally reimagine barbecuing and the world of flavour and opportunity that awaits.”
