The following recipe is a bit different, healthy, simple and scrumptious. No more boring BBQ’s!

The idea of bbq' ing fruit is one which makes our barbies that much more interesting for everybody, but particularly vegetarians. See Nigella Lawson's Forever Summer for her bbq'd pineapple dessert (we chuck amaretto over the top too at mine). Take a few pork chops and 2 apricots, halved and pitted, per chop and bbq. Be sure each chop has a small layer of fat on it. BBQ the apricots cut side up drizzle with a little honey until they are quite mushy - soft enough that you can see their inner fibres - and maybe a little caramelised (you may need to coat them in honey for this).

The cooked apricots should be eaten as a kind of relish with the chops. Ideal accompaniments to this dish are bbq'd sweet potato (in thin discs) and asparagus.

A total barbie meal!
