I am having a "gourmet club" (their words, not mine) dinner in the coming
weeks, and it is my turn with the skillet. Each of us prepares a meal from
a country or a continent. we try to include local customs, and the meal
from start to finish should be a "taste" of the region, as it were. I'm
looking for Australian recipes, etc. Any help at all would be greatly
appreciated! Thanks
I had my family over for dinner recently, and they all agreed this was the
best Aussie Barbie they had ever tasted. If you haven't got a Weber, you
can probably adapt them to fit in the conventional oven. All recipes were
taken from "Family Circle Brilliant Barbecues".
Appetizer : Stuffed Mushrooms with Bacon and Cheese
3 bacon rashers, rind removed
1/2 cup grated mozzarella
1 tbsp sour cream
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1 tbsp dry mustard
1/2 tbsp ground black pepper
12 large mushroom caps, stalks removed
1 tbsp sweet paprika
Grill bacon until crisp, chop coarsely. Combine with cheese, sour cream,
crumbs, mustard and pepper. Spoon into mushroom caps, sprinkle each with
paprika. Cook on BBQ grill plate until cheese melts.
Main Meal : Stuffed Bream
(you could probably use any whole fish in your area ??)
1 large bream, gutted and scaled
1 cup breadcrumbs
2 tbsps fresh parsley
1 tbsp fresh thyme
1 lemon
1/2 tbsp salt
1/2 tbsp pepper
15 g melted butter
2 tbsps olive oil
lemon wedges, to serve
Clean the cavity of the fish with absorbent paper dipped in salt. Score
both sides of the fish at 2 cm intervals with a sharp knife. Place crumbs
and herbs in a small bowl. Grate rind of lemon, squeeze lemon and strain
juice. Add to crumbs with salt, pepper and butter, mix well. Fill cavity
with filling and secure with skewers. Brush with olive oil. Place fish in a
frame or grill plate and BBQ over a lightly oiled flat plate for 15-20
minutes, turning once, or until cooked. Serve with lemon wedges.
NB: fish can also be cooked in a well greased foil parcel of double
thickness.
Veggies : Quick and Easy BBQ'd Vegetables
4 corn cobs
4 large zucchini
2 tbsps olive oil
2 tbsp lemon pepper
1 tbsp onion powder
Remove corn husks, rinse. Trim zucchini and cut in half lengthways. Blanch
corn in boiling water for 6 minutes and zucchini for 3 minutes. Drop into
iced
water. Drain, pat dry. Brush with olive oil, sprinkle with seasonings.

1 tbsp salt
80g butter
250 ml milk
1 lightly beaten egg

Sift flour and salt into a large bowl. Cut butter into small portions and
rub into flour until mix resembles breadcrumbs. Make a well in the centre
and add the milk and egg. Mix with a knife. Form into a round and place on
baking tray, lined with a double layer of foil, shiny side down. Pat out to
20 cm in diameter. Brush with water, sprinkle with seeds and paprika. Bake
on BBQ with lid on 25-35 minutes - should sound hollow when tapped.
Dessert : Bananas in Rum
1 tbsp lime juice
30g melted butter
1/4 cup rum
6 bananas, peeled and halved lengthways
3 tbsps brown sugar

Stir together lime juice, butter and rum. Add bananas and turn to coat.
Sprinkle with brown sugar. Place tray on the BBQ and cook 10 minutes, until
bananas are soft. Spoon onto plates and serve with ice cream.
