Planter box idea – BBQ herbs

There is nothing nicer than having your own box of fresh herbs, ready for use in cooking. Why not fill your planter box with herbs perfectly suited to BBQing? Herbs are great as a seasoning or marinade when cooking, but fresh herbs straight onto the grill will take your food to the next level!

If you’re using a Weber, soak the herbs in water for a few minutes then throw them straight on the coals so they smoke and add a delicious aroma to your food. The woodier herbs are best for this – thyme, sage, oregano and tarragon.

Try a sprig of rosemary or a handful of chopped parsley on top on veggies on the grill, or add fresh oregano to skewered meats for a flavour-hit.
