Cut the French bread in slices of about 3cm. Pay attention! Do not cut till the end of the slice, but stop about 2cm before. After this, squeeze the garlic cloves and mix the garlic with a tsp of salt and the spices. Mix the whole in the butter which you will then spread in the grooves of the bread. Thereupon, take a big piece of aluminium foil and wrap it around the bread. Subsequently, put the wrapped French bread on the barbecue for 15 minutes. After about fifteen minutes, take the bread out of the aluminium foil and grill it again for ten minutes at the edge of the barbecue. You need to keep turning the French bread, continuously.
Variations:
You can also fill your bread with anchovy butter (150 g butter and 1 tube of anchovy paste), spiced butter (150 g butter, 1 cup mixed minced spices and salt) or tomato butter (150 g butter, 1 small can of tomato paste, salt and chilli powder).
Wash the potatoes in cold water and dry them. Lay the potatoes on their flat side, make a cross in them and rub them in with salt. After that, wrap each potato in a piece of aluminium foil which you greased with oil beforehand. Subsequently, put the wrapped potatoes on the barbecue for about 45 minutes and turn them over a couple of times. Take the potatoes off the flame when they are done. Tear open the foil and spread some spiced butter on each potato.
Take off the leaves and threads of the fresh corn cobs and cook them in salty water for 15 minutes. Thereafter, dry thoroughly the boiled corn cobs or the corn cobs from a can. Mix the oil with the salt and the pepper and spread it on all sides of the cobs. Grill the corn cobs for 10 to 15 minutes on a skewer right above the flame. Turn the skewer continuously and spread the corn cobs regularly with spiced oil. Eventually, lay the corn cobs on plates and serve them with butter. This can be spread on them while they are being gnawed off.
Soak the slices of bread in lukewarm water. Peel and chop the onion. Cut the peppers in half, clean and wash them. After this, squeeze the soaked bread very well and mix it with the chopped onion and the minced meat. Add pepper and salt to taste. Take the meat mixture and make 8 rolls of about 8 cm each. Subsequently, roll each meat roll in half a pepper. Sprinkle the bacon with the chilli powder, wrap each pepper roll in a piece of bacon and pin everything together with a toothpick or a piece of thread. Grill the rolls on moderate flame on the barbecue for about 15 minutes. Do this by continuously turning them.
