The five best things to barbeque
Five mouthwatering ideas for things to throw on the barbecue, from butterflied lamb to a novel way of barbecuing bananas

Butterflied Lamb
This classic Sunday lunch is delicious on a BBQ, especially when marinated with thyme and olive oil for a few days before. Turn every ten to fifteen minutes and don't worry if the outside chars. Slice it open to check if it's cooked.
Burgers
No summer barbeque would be complete without a proper Aberdeen Angus burger. Toast the buns and add some grated cheese on top while they are still cooking for true perfection.
Sausages
A firm favourite for many. Mixing up the flavours always adds a little extra to the meal. Be sure to spike them before cooking and turn every few minutes so they're crispy on all sides.
Prawns
Exquisite houses, the beauty of Nature, and how to get the most from your life, straight to your inbox.
This surprising entry is delicious when cooked on a barbeque. Skewer them in their shells and turn often.
Banana and Mars Bar
This may sound mad but it is easy and delicious. Simply slit the banana (in its skin) open and put the Mars inside. Then wrap in tin foil and leave on the dying embers of the barbeque for pudding.

Country Life is unlike any other magazine: the only glossy weekly on the newsstand and the only magazine that has been guest-edited by His Majesty The King not once, but twice. It is a celebration of modern rural life and all its diverse joys and pleasures — that was first published in Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year. Our eclectic mixture of witty and informative content — from the most up-to-date property news and commentary and a coveted glimpse inside some of the UK's best houses and gardens, to gardening, the arts and interior design, written by experts in their field — still cannot be found in print or online, anywhere else.
