I have a recipe for shishkabob that uses fresh Tuna, or Swordfish instead of the beef or chicken. It always turns out Yummy!! I also try using different types of veggies, like eggplant and zucchini. :)
It's grilling time again! Anybody grill anything good yet? I grilled some steaks today and it was just like summertime! :)
We grilled some "Ultimate Kabobs" from Market Square week before last, and barbeque chicken last week. I'm grilling some eggplant in a day or two, along with other veggies.
i've been grilling for a while already. a quick, but elegant throw together meal for company is kabobs. smallish beef chunks marinated in garlic and worchester, and arranged in stripes on a cookie sheet the veggies: pearl onions, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, bell peppers(green,red,yellow). if you want to be fancier, use sliced corn-on-the-cob also. guests assemble and grill their own. appetizers. brie, french bread, white grapes and apple slices. mm
I've become so lazy when it comes to grilling - it seems to take too much advance planning to have the grill cleaned and the fuel on hand. But I do use my indoor grill pan regularly. Does that count?
You might get half a point for that, Mary. Real grilling happens outdoors, though.
I grabbed some lamb patties at Sparrow meats in Kerrytown, Pretty yummy, change of pace from beef. Leftovers made a great pasta sauce a few nights later.
We're getting into grilling season yet again-for those of you with grills to cook outdoors with. Sure wish I had a yard or balcony too use to cook outside with... [Will have to find some picnics or something this summer as an excuse or hope my brother will invite me over to cook out from time to time.] I could dig out my George Forman, though, too. :-)
A lot of local parks have grills available for public use. I never bother with them though. If I feel like eating outside, I just get something to go from Depot Town and sit down by the river with my dogs.
I've been giving thought to building a brick smoker/BBQ.
Here is a question for my fellow BBQ jockeys: How detrimental would it be to a stainless steel grill if it was not put into a shed or garage for the winter, but instead a cover was put on it? I enjoy grilling even in the winter time and wouldn't want to walk way out to the shed to flip some burgers.
Why even bother with a cover? I've found my bbq survives the elements better without the canvas cover(which for some weird reason attracts earwigs) Then again, it doesn't snow here.
resp:18 Heh, my hubby and I have a Foreman that we use on a regular basis. Though we're not terribly creative with it. resp:21 my parents have always just left their grill out year round (in Michigan). Sometimes it gets covered... In the winter a path to the grill would be the only part that got shoveled.
Sounds like the same thing with my brother and the grill in the yard; he uses it yearround, like my Dad did when he still owned the house and grill...
The nice weather is back so its time to think about grilling outside again. I have a deck at my new place of residence so I'll be spending more time outdoors than I did this previous year. However, I gave away my portable gas grill before I moved back to MI [as the movers wouldn't take it and I didn't have room for it in my car]. So now I need to decide if I want to get another little gas grill [so very easy to use!] or a hibachi or a regular charcoal grill. It'll have to be inexpensive and I probably should get some kind of table to set it on for cooking [especially since the grill will most likely be a litte one]. Maybe I can look in the online classifieds [at craigslist]. Anyway, what kind of good recipes and/or techniques do y'all use for outdoor cooking?
So much for the nice weather being back..... I took a rain check that night for a picnic by the river, and haven't been able to collect on it since.
Though it wasn't GRILLED chicken [which would've been so much nicer], the other evening I did take a chicken dinner with me to check out a park near me that I hadn't been to yet. I don't recall seeing any grills there but there might have been but I just didn't notice. It does have a shelter and a bunch of picnic tables.
You have several choices:
