This is another one I made for my BBQ from the same zaar member, he called it poppy seed skewers, I used sesame seeds hence the name change. I had salmon fillet, whit fish fillets and prawns on hand and had planned on making pesto fish kebabs. I stumbled across this one by accident and it sounded very good so I thought since I had all the ingredients on hand I would try this instead. I am glad I did it was excellent the flavour was really good and totally complimented the fish. If you would like to read more reviews on this recipe please click here.
Ingredients
250g Salmon (cutlets or steaks)(I had way more weight as I had the prawns and white fish fillets as well, so I had to up the marinade amounts.)
2 Bamboo skewers
2 Teaspoons poppy seeds
1 Tablespoon soy sauce
1 Tablespoon sake
1 Teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
3 Drops Tabasco sauce
1 Teaspoon ginger, crushed
1 Teaspoon garlic, crushed
1 Teaspoon sugar
Method
1.Cut salmon into cubes around 2-3cm (one inch) in size. Leave the skin on if desired but cur around the bones.
2. Combine all other ingredients (apart from skewers!) in a small bowl, add salmon pieces and gently mix.
3. Leave in refrigerator around an hour to marinate, lightly turning occasionally.
4. Carefully thread onto skewers and cook over BBQ or grill on low-medium temperature for 5-10 minutes turning occasionally until cooked.

I am in yet another recipe swap for the month of August and I had my family over for a BBQ on the weekend. I made several recipes from one of my team mates and they were all really good this was a very different take on your ordinary sausage. On a whole the BBQ was a huge success and all I made from my stash of recipes were the salads and my chicken skewers with a peanut satay sauce which I have already posted if you would like to see this recipe please click here.
I made these sausages which everyone loved and they were so simple and quick to do. The only thing I did different apart from upping the amount of cheese and onion, was I had not read the recipe directions and I had already diced the onion. I realised the onion would not cook this way as you have already par cooked the sausage so it does not need as munch time on the BBQ, I just cooked the onion in a fry pan before stuffing it into the sausage and it worked perfectly. I am actually glad I made the mistake I am not sure how it turns out the right way but I loved the cooked onion flavour that came through, it was like having a bun less hot dog.

Ingredients
6 (70g) Beef sausages
50g Cheddar cheese (I used more)
1/2 Small onion (I used More)
Method
1. Par-boil sausages for around 10 minutes in boiling water, drain and allow to cool just a little.
2. Finely grate cheese and onion together in a small bowl.
3. Cut a slit down the middle of each sausage for around 2/3 of the length that goes half-way through.
4. Press equal amounts of the mixture well down into the sausage.
5. Transfer to a hot BBQ / grill and cook around 10-15 minutes over a fairly moderate heat (without turning for obvious reasons).
