I'm bored with my current repetiore of recipes... Want something a little different and lighter for summer. Anybody have any ideas? Grilled items would definately be appreciated, along with salads.
Thanks!!
And if anybody knows how to cook pizza on the grill, I'd like to know - saw it once on some cooking show, but can't remember how!
I have a good recipe for grilling London broil and serving it one night, then serving the leftovers cold over a salad.
I'll get you some recipes tomorrow - gotta go rummage through my magaizines....;)
2-4 tomatoes chopped (plum tomatoes are best, but you need more of them)
2-4 stalks of green onions chopped
1 heaping teaspoon / tablespoon mayo
dash of salt
more of pepper
Mix it all together and let the flavors "mingle" in the fridge for a few hours - best made the night before. I like it spicy so I add more onions and pepper than Mama does.
Oil your grill very well so the dough doesn't stick. Place your pizza crust on the grill. When it browns (lightly) and bubbles, flip it over. Brush oil on the crust, then add your pizza sauce, then your toppings. Do this fast, so your crust won't burn. Then close the lid and cook until your cheese melts, unless you're vegan, then cook it 3-5 minutes.
OK, so this may sound a little strange, but it really worked well this past week:
Take a container of plain yogurt, pop a couple of small holes in the lid and put it on its side in the kitchen sink for a couple of hours. Most of the liquid will drain from the yogurt, leaving it the consistancy of thick sour cream. Mix in a little vanilla and something a little sweet. You end up with a really yummy creamy vanilla yogurt that I served over fresh fruit this week.
It was good. I used stevia for the sweet part - didn't take much at all to sweeten the yogurt and if you serve it over fresh fruit, you don't need much at all!
For the fruit I used fresh strawberries, watermelon, peaches, and pineapple... But I think just about anything would taste good with it.

JJ - try a whole milk yogurt with that sometime - add granola and fruit - it's dee-lish. A little cinnamon on top helps, too.

We just discovered those pre-cooked baby back ribs that come packaged in sauce - the Chili's brand are very good.
Yeah, it's sorta "Grilling for Dummies" but dang... they're good with some beer and bakers. :-)

I got your attention, didn't I......
Honestly, I like lots of slow cooked things because it means I can do other things while the food cooks.....
Now, how I spend that time is another story.....;)
