Guest guest Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 We no longer have a grill however my family used to love corn on the cob cooked on the grill. When I go to a BBQ I make up my red bean and spinach burgers and my black bean burgers, to bring. I do bake them first so they hold together. In a message dated 5/17/2009 11:29:08 A.M.

My daughter loves potatoes on the grill. just slice up some potatoes, in a bowl mix with some garlic and onion powder, lay slices on grill, sprinkle with Spanish paprika, and cook on low until desired doneness. blessings, Chanda [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] **************A strong credit score is 700 or above.

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 I grill the whole pineapple, better than a dessert. Skin it, sprinkle cinnamon and a little cardamom over it and grill, I use the top shelf on the grill so it grills slowly. I also have a grill pan and I chop up an array of veggies and grill them.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 you can use your cast iron pan to cook anything on the grill, even canned veggies. I don't know if they will taste much different, but cooking them on the grill will not heat up your house. i am going to try it this week. i have two cast iron pans luckily. blessings, Chanda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 We grill at least once a week. We do potatoes, beets and carrots in aluminum foil with edges sealed, we put fresh rosemary, oregano and sage inside, a little olive oil and salt, grill little pouches slowly. Cauliflower has not been mentioned, it is delicious grilled. We like it a lot marinated in chimichurri sauce (sauce is posted on the files). I cut it in thick slices for grilling, rather than the flowerets. I like eggplants and peppers whole, as well as the smaller zucchinis, grill slowly and when done place in pan with cover (or a bag, or foil), let them steam for a while and remove peels. I then slice them and dress the vegetables with a little olive oil, salt/pepper and very finely minced garlic and parsley. Asparagus. If you have a few of the fatter ones, thread a kebab stick on top and the bottom, making a 'sheet' of the asparagus spears, they can then be turned simultaneously. For a marinade I like sesame oil, garlic, ginger and soy sauce, maybe a little maple syrup added too, and some ground up white pepper. Mushrooms grill great, Portabellos are wonderful but the smaller ones work well too, sometimes using a kebab stick to pierce them makes it easier. In the summer when we get the bat size zucchinis, slice them into 1/2 to 1 inch rounds, they end up being the size and shape of burgers. They can be grilled, many marinades work for them, they soak up flavors so well. They can be eaten in a burger bun with the 'works' too. Tofu and seitan grill really well too. I like seitan in chimichurri too, but the Asian inspired marinade (soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger/garlic/white pepper) work well too. Tofu works with many many marinades. I like thawed out previously frozen firm tofu and then marinated in regular or home made BBQ sauce. Easy and quick. Unfrozen firm marinated tofu works well too, just find a marinade flavor that you like. Something else for the ovolacto crowd: Haloummi cheese! it is a cheese that works specially well for grilling, you can find it in middle eastern stores, I believe it is from sheep's milk. It is very good, I did not discover this until last year, it is featured in a lot of our grill days this year. The pineapple is great too, I like mine in thick slices. Figs with honey, a little goat cheese in the center and freshly ground pepper are great too, when figs are in season. , " Puterwitch " <puterwitch wrote: > > Since the grilling season is upon us, how about we share some grilling > ideas?
