Party Ideas

A great way to celebrate the festive season is to throw a party to celebrate with your friends. Jervisbay makes this easy with their extensive range of barbecues, accessories, drinks and candles.

While your guests arrive, and as your barbecue is heating up, offer your guests a choice of drink, such as champagne. Make it a special treat by dropping one of Jervisbay’s hibiscus flowers in the glass to create a pink surprise that will please all your guests. Once they are done drinking, let them enjoy this edible treat.

If they are not in the mood for champagne, offer them a tasty cocktail treat, using Jervisbay’s range of frozen cocktail drinks. Simply pour your favourite alcohol in the easy to use bucket, mix around with a spoon and pop in the freezer for a few hours to create your choice of Margarite, Pina Colada or Strawberry Daquiri. Additionally for the kids, simply mix in their favourite soft drink to create mock-tails the whole family can enjoy.

As your guests settle in, offer them a range of appetizers created on your barbecue such as Grilled Chicken Flatbread Pizzas, Party Ginger Beef Bites, Carolina Grilled Shrimp or Baked Stuffed Artichoke Hearts. The recipes for these tasty treats can all be found in the recipes section.

To add a hint of flavour to your barbecue, add aromatic hardwoods from Jervisbay, such as hickory, mesquite or oak chips to give an authentic smoky delight. Simply soak the wood in cold water for at least 30 minutes, then add to hot coals as you cook.

Once you have whet your guests’ appetites, keep their taste buds begging for more with a selection of delicious main courses cooked right on the grill. Offer them some delicious Thai Lime and Coconut Chicken, Pork Chops with Mango-Miso Marinade, Pizza, Grilled Salmon or Rosemary Skewered Monkfish. Don’t forget the veggied: you can cook all your favourite vegetables right on grill as well. The recipes can me found in the recipe section.

To finish up a delicious meal, serve up some grilled fruit on the barbecue, such as bananas or peaches. Drizzle some cream over the top and serve with a glass of wine. Bon Appetit!

Grilled Salmon

"A simple soy sauce and brown sugar marinade, with hints of lemon and garlic, are the perfect salty-sweet complement to rich salmon fillets. Even my 9 year old loves this recipe!"

INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 pounds salmon fillets
Lemon pepper to taste
Garlic powder to taste
Salt to taste
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup water
1/4 cup vegetable oil
DIRECTIONS
Season salmon fillets with lemon pepper, garlic powder, and salt.
In a small bowl, stir together soy sauce, brown sugar, water, and vegetable oil until sugar is dissolved. Place fish in a large resealable plastic bag with the soy sauce mixture, seal, and turn to coat. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Preheat grill for medium heat.
Lightly oil grill grate. Place salmon on the preheated grill, and discard marinade. Cook salmon for 6 to 8 minutes per side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Pork Chops with Mango-Miso Marinade BBQ Recipe

Tired of the same old pork chops? Try this hot and spicy version and add some zest to your plate.
INGREDIENTS
3 tablespoons shallots, finely diced
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons garlic, chopped
2 to 3 tablespoons hot bean paste (miso) or chili bean sauce
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 cup mango juice or apricot juice or orange juice
4 tablespoons rice wine
Salt and freshly ground pepper
6 pork chops, bone in, about 10 ounces each

DIRECTIONS
In a medium pan, sauté shallots in oil for 2 minutes. Add garlic and sauté 1 minute more. Add hot bean paste, cumin, mango juice, rice wine, and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat and chill. Place pork chops in a large resealable plastic bag; pour chilled marinade over chops and marinate in refrigerator for 4 hours, turning occasionally to distribute marinade. Remove chops from marinade, reserving marinade. Pour reserved marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil one minute; remove from heat.
Place chops in centre of cooking grate. Grill for 16 minutes or until juices run clear, turning once halfway through grilling time and occasionally basting with marinade. Serve with black beans and rice, if desired.
