Cooking outdoors is one of the great joys you have when you own a house. Being able to make some amazing meals for your family and friends in the summer and even as the holidays draw in can be a fun way to spend your time. Today we want to take a look at outdoor cooking in the garden and some of the great ways you can cook in your garden and impress your family, friends, and even yourself.
Here are some amazing outdoor cooking ideas that you can use at your next party or gathering at home.
Make fresh stunning pizzas
There is nothing better when making the most of a brick grill and your new brick garden rooms than making some pizzas. Pizza ovens are a great addition to a brick garden room and it will add an extension to the space that can be used to host fun pizza parties all year long.
Once you have made an amazing pizza dough, you can use your pizza oven to create the best pizzas your family has even eaten and you can use your garden herbs such as fresh basil to vamp up the finished pizzas and make them taste fresh!
Grill up some juicy burgers
Creating some amazing burgers is a good way to host an outdoor party anytime or the year. If you are looking for a fun way to cook for your friends and family you can’t go wrong with burgers, and everyone can customise theirs how they like it with classic toppings and extras once cooked.
To make a great burger, always use the best quality mince meat you can, and make sure it has a little bit of fat content so that it sticks together and also don’t season the meat before you grill it, season it afterwards once it is cooked!
For a great simple burger sauce:
- 4 tbsp mayonnaise
- 3 tbsp ketchup
- 30g Cornichons
- 1 ½ tbsp smart I can mustard
Chop the cornichons finely and then mix all ingredients in a bowl. Taste and season if you want to.
Create homegrown salads
Making your own fresh salads at home is always a winner for side dishes and also for a light summer lunch in the garden. If you have green fingers, you can consider planting some of your own lettuces, vegetables, and fruits and these can be used throughout the year to make amazingly fresh salads for you and your family to enjoy.
One of the great tips we have is to save cuttings of herbs when you buy the at the supermarket and then plant them into your garden and this will give you so many herbs to use for your meals as well as fresh herbs to add into dressings for your salads.
There are so many great ways that you can cook in your garden to impress your family and friends, and if you use some of these ideas your next gathering will be remembered by everyone!
