Bacon Wrapped Onion Rings and Tenderstem Broccoli with Ranch Dip

40 Minutes | easy | Serves 4

Wrapping vegetables in bacon is always a sure fire hit. Try varying the vegetables with the seasons, e.g. swapping Tenderstem broccoli for asparagus in spring time. The bacon will begin to uncurl on the grill, so try to leave it before turning, so as not to disturb it too much. You want to get the bacon nice and crisp.

Ingredients

  • 2 large onions, peeled and cut into 2cm thick slices
  • 250g Tenderstem broccoli, woody ends trimmed
  • 20 rashers streaky bacon (each ring or broccoli stem needs 1 rasher of bacon, so bear this in mind)
  • 50g mayonnaise
  • 100g buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped chives
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed or finely grated
  • Small dash Worcestershire sauce
  • Dash Tabasco

Directions

1.

Remove

Remove the smaller, centre rings from the onions and reserve for another use. Separate the larger rings.

Light two gas burners

Light two gas burners on the Jupiter Outback BBQ and set the heat to medium. Place the bacon wrapped vegetables over the heat and allow to crisp up and cook through – this can take anywhere from 5-15 minutes.
