Barbecue recipe questions
Can I prepare barbecue side dishes in advance?
Yes, slaws like cabbage and apple varieties improve when made 2-4 hours ahead, allowing flavours to develop. Store covered in the fridge. Mix dressings separately and combine just before serving to maintain crunch. Marinades can be prepared the night before.
How do I stop prawns from sticking to the barbecue grill?
Ensure your grill is clean and well-oiled before cooking. Pat prawns completely dry, then brush lightly with oil. Preheat the barbecue properly—medium-high heat works best. Thread prawns onto skewers or use a grilling basket for easier handling and turning.
How long will homemade coleslaw keep in the fridge?
Dressed coleslaw keeps for 1-2 days refrigerated in an airtight container, though it becomes softer over time. For longer storage, keep shredded vegetables and dressing separate for up to 3 days, mixing portions as needed to maintain the best texture.
