BBQ

[skibum515]

Hey ladies,

so i recently got a cute little gas grill and I'm looking for some ideas on what i can make on it (besides hotdogs/burgers). The one thing i can make really well is chicken marinated in italian dressing, but i'm looking to expand for some other ideas.

grazie!

Of course veggies, BBQ fruit w/ brown sugar on it and it will get a nice caramel glaze, BBQ a pizza dough, then put the toppings on it and cover the grill to heat the toppings, ummmmmm, pork chops, ummm, I can't think of any thing else for now [img]/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Salmon fillets

Leave the skin on for cooking, dress with lemon juice. Sear on each side and cook about 4-5 minutes.

Great served with rice and teriaki sauce.

you could always try a small rack of ribs! some bbq sauce and a couple hours of slow cooking is all you need! [img]/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

other than that, I'll cook fish in foil or chicken kabobs with onions, cherry peppers (man, those are good when burnt!) & bell pepper!

Get one of those grill pans and you can grill veggies--marinate them first in some lemon juice/olive oil mixed with chopped fresh garlic, salt, pepper and any herbs you like. Pour the remaining marinade on them after you've grilled them. Back when I ate potatoes I also grilled them. If they were new potatoes, I'd cut them in half. If they were larger, I'd quarter them. Then I'd boil them a bit to cook them. Drain and marinate--then grill.

You can grill anything really--meats can either have a marinade or dry rub. Grilling shrimp on a wooden skewer is also really easy. Don't marinate them longer than 15 minutes because the acid in the marinade cooks them.

You can also grill fruit. Peaches brushed with balsamic vinegar are really good. (You halve and pit them!). Pineapple also grills well.

You can also grill individual pizzas, quesadillas, etc.

If I'm making kabobs, I make separate ones for the meat than for the veggies. The reason is that the meat cooks at a different rate than the veggies. So if you put the veggies on the same kabob as the meat, you are likely to burn the veggies or have them get so soft that they fall off.

Tonight we're grilling/smoking--a whole rotisserie chicken over cherry wood. The chicken is stuffed with a whole mess of fresh herbs from the garden--thyme, basil, purple basil, bay leaf, oregano, lemongrass. Under the skin we shoved minced garlic, the chopped herbs, fresh pepper and Kosher salt.

We're serving it over a brown/wild rice medley and with a killer salad.
