RECIPE: Favorite Grilling Recipes

18 years ago

Altho we grill year round, the actual grilling "season" is upon us. Thought maybe it would be fun to once again share some favorite T&T grill recipes.Here are a few of our faves.

Grilled Vidalia Onions

From: Cooking Secrets of the CIA (Culinary Institute of America)

6 vidalia onions

3 tsp salt

1-1/2 tsp pepper

1 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped

1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped

6 T butter

6 T balsamic vinegar

Preheat charcoal or gas grill. Cut twelve 12 inch squares of aluminum foil. Peel onions and trim the root end. Be careful to leave the core in place to hold each onion together as it cooks. Make 3 or 4 cuts across the top of each onion, cutting about 2/3 of the way down to create wedges.

Set each onion in the center of a double-layered foil square, root end down. Sprinkle onions with salt, pepper and herbs, and top each with a tablespoon of butter. Pull foil up over each onion creating a pouch, leaving the top of the onion exposed.

Pour 1 tablespoon ov vinegar into each onion.

Place onions on top shelf of gas grill or around edge of charcoal grill over medium heat. Cook until onions are tender, about an hour.

Place each onion in individual bowl. The onions will spread open like a flower, pour accumulated juices over each onion and serve.

Grilled Pineapple with Rum Dulce de Leche Recipe courtesy Gourmet Magazine 2 (14\-ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk 1/3 cup dark rum 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 ripe pineapple, preferably golden Vanilla ice cream, as needed Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Pour condensed milk into a 9\-inch deep\-dish pie plate and cover with foil. Put pie plate in a roasting pan and add enough hot water to pan to reach halfway up side of pie plate. Bake milk in middle of oven until thick and golden, about 1 1/2 hours. Carefully remove pie plate from pan and cool completely. Add rum and vanilla to milk, whisk until smooth, and season with salt. (The dulce de leche may be made 2 days ahead and chilled, covered.) Prepare a grill or grill pan. Cut the pineapple lengthwise through leaves, keeping leaves attached, into 4 wedges. Grill the pineapple wedges, cut\-side down, until just charred, about 2 minutes on each cut side. Divide the wedges among plates, put a scoop of ice cream next to each, and drizzle with the dulce de leche.

This one isn't actually grilled but it is a great summer salad!

6 medium onions, peeled & left whole
1 cup peanut oil
2 cups dry red wine
6 cloves garlic, chopped coarsely
2 tsp cracked peppercorns
2 tsp salt

Remove as much fat & sinew as possible from teh lamb before marinating. Opening the meat flat, place in a pan large enough to accommodate the meat, marinade & onions. Prick the onions all over with the tines of a fork to allow marinade absorption. Place in the pan with the meat.
Make a marinade by combine the oil, red wine, garlic, peppercorns, salt, lemon juice & herbs. Pour over the meat & onions. Marinate at least 6 hours in a cool place or overnight in the refrigerator. Turn often. The lamb should be grilled in the same manner as a steak. For rare, cook 8 minutes on each side. Onions should be place on grill before the meat in order to brown well.~~Cotton Country Collection

GRILLED SWORDFISH

(this is so simple and delicious you won't believe it!)

1 inch thick swordfish steaks, coat each side with anchovy paste - grill on medium high for about 4 minutes/side (or to taste but DON'T overcook!!)

I like to serve these as a one-dish meal on top of a nice Greek salad that includes lettuce with a side of grilled garlic bread.

Fajitas Fry up a ton of onion and green pepper strips in butter until nice and carmelized, toss in thin meat strips of your choice. Stir fry until on the rare side. Just takes a minute or two. Stir in equal parts of soy sauce and honey. Let simmer until the meat is done. Again, it just takes a minute or two. Pop in a warm flour tortilla and dinner is done.

This is my recipe that I use for chili. I know, in Texas there should be no beans, but I add them anyway and call it: YANKEE CHILI SOUP 1 ½ to 2 pounds ground beef or ground pork or ground veal or a mixture of one, two or all (I like to use about 1 pound of ground beef and 1 pound of ground pork) 1 whole sweet yellow onion coarsely chopped 4 to 6 cloves of garlic finely chopped 2 large cans chopped tomatoes 1 or 2 cans Rotel tomatoes & green chilies 2 cans red kidney beans (drained) 1 large jar of Spicy V-8 juice ¼ cup cumin ¼ cup chili powder 1 whole jalapeno or can use any dried hot pepper 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, either flakes or ground Freshly ground salt and pepper to taste Olive Oil Heat olive oil in a large pot and put in the yellow onion and cook till tender, then add the garlic and cook for just a few minutes so it wont turn brown and burn. Put this onion-garlic mixture aside into a bowl. Then add the ground beef or ground veal to the pot and brown. After it has browned, add the onion-garlic mixture into the ground beef, stir and then add the remainder of the ingredients. Heat over a medium burner until it is hot and then turn down to medium low or low and continue cooking. The longer it cooks, the more flavor it has. In fact it is best if refrigerated overnight, and then reheated the next day either on the stove or in a crock-pot. Serve with crunchy French bread. This will serve about 8 large bowls of chili. LINDAS BEAN SOUP This recipe is my own concoction. I adjust all the spices and ingredients to my taste, so Ill give you the basics, and you have to go with it from there. Be sure to go easy with the spices in the beginning because the flavors intensify as the cooking continues. You can always add more, but you cant remove what is already there. **-Beans, either dry 16 oz. Bag (must soak overnight or follow directions on package) or canned about 4 cans (drain); (I use pinto or black beans, but any beans will work) -Bacon cut up (about ½ to 1 pound for a large pot) -Onions & Garlic (chopped) (I use a large onion and a whole head of garlic) -Chicken broth (about 3 32 oz. cans or cartons of broth) -Sausage (4 or 5 links) -Tomatoes (both chopped and whole) (fresh or canned) about 2 cans chopped and 4 fresh whole tomatoes -Rotel tomatoes (one or two cans) -Peppers fresh (jalapeno, Serrano, habanero) (I use one each-whole) -Beer (one can) -Cilantro (one bunch; the whole bunch including stems) -Fresh Chives and/or green onions (one bunch) -Oregano (fresh or dried) if using fresh herbs always use 3 times that of dried herbs -Cumin (1/4 cup) -Cayenne Pepper (one tablespoon) -Chili Powder (1/4 cup) -Salt & Pepper (freshly ground) to taste -Green Pepper (optional) -Rice (Optional) I fry up the bacon and add the onions and garlic. Be sure not to overcook the garlic or it will get bitter. If this happens, you might as well start over because burned garlic is really bad. Then I add the sausage and brown it. Again make sure you dont overcook the garlic. Then I add the broth, beans, a beer, the tomatoes, Rotel peppers, fresh peppers (I use one of each) and all the spices and then finish with water to cover the beans by about 2". Bring to boil (do not allow it to burn) and then reduce heat to simmer. Depending on whether I use dried beans or fresh beans, the cooking time will vary. With dried beans, it takes about 2 to 3 hours to cook. You can then serve the beans with sour cream, fresh chives, fresh tomatoes, fresh onions, and fresh cilantro. Also if you want, you can add some rice (either cooked or uncooked) directly into the beans towards the end of the cooking period. Or you can just serve the beans over a bed of rice. I use yellow rice, but white rice works just as well. The rice will give you more of a full feeling, if you know what I mean. **When using black beans add 2 to 4 smoked ham hocks for great flavor. Lindas Chuck Roast ½ cup all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon kosher salt 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper 3 to 4 pound chuck roast 3 tablespoons olive oil 6-8 cloves of garlic, finely chopped 1 whole sweet onion 4-6 large carrots diced 3-4 stalks of celery cut into medium dice 3 leeks (white part only), well washed and chopped 2 cups roughly chopped mushrooms 2 cups chopped cabbage 1 head of fennel, chopped 2 plum tomatoes crushed 1 dried bay leaf 2 sprigs fresh thyme 2 springs fresh oregano 3 fresh sage leaves 3 springs fresh flat-leaf parsley (Italian parsley) 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional) ¾ cup dry white wine and/or ½ cup cognac 2 large potatoes, roughly chopped 2-4 cups broth (beef, mushroom, or vegetable or a combination of these) Preheat over to 425 degrees. Combine the flour, salt, and pepper and dredge the roast with mixture. Use a large ovenproof pan over medium-high heat, and when it is hot, add the oil. Then add the roast and cook until it is deeply golden on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Turn over and cook until it is deeply golden on the bottom, about 2 more minutes. Transfer the roast to a plate. Add the olive oil and then to a hot pan add the garlic, onion, carrots, celery, leeks, mushrooms, cabbage, fennel, tomatoes, dried bay leaf, fresh thyme, fresh oregano, sage, flat-leaf parsley, rosemary, and cook or wilt down for about 5 minutes. Then add the wine and/or cognac and broth mixture and continue to cook for 5 more minutes. Return the roast to the pan and place the chopped potatoes around the roast. Cover the roast with the herb-broth mixture. Cover pan and transfer to the oven. Cook at 425 degrees for approximately 30 minutes and then turn the oven down to 325 degrees and continue cooking for another 2 hours. Serve with a loaf of hot, crusty French bread. Lindas Osso Buco of Veal ½ cup all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon kosher salt 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper 1 teaspoon paprika 4 veal shanks, tied to secure meat to bone 3 tablespoons olive oil 2 cups chopped high-quality bacon 6-8 cloves of garlic, thinly sliced 1 whole sweet onion 2 large carrots diced 3 stalks of celery cut into medium dice 2 leeks (white part only), well washed and chopped 2 cups roughly chopped mushrooms 1 fennel bulb, roughly chopped (optional) 2 plum tomatoes crushed ½ lemon zest only 1 dried bay leaf 2 sprigs fresh thyme 3 fresh sage leaves 3 springs fresh flat-leaf parsley (Italian parsley) 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary 1 teaspoon dried fennel seeds ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes ¾ cup dry white wine ½ cup cognac 4 cups broth (chicken, veal, mushroom, or vegetable) Preheat over to 425 degrees. Combine the flour, salt, and pepper and lightly dust shanks with mixture. Use a large ovenproof pan over medium-high heat, and when it is hot, add the oil. Then add the shanks and cook until they are deeply golden on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Turn over and cook until they are deeply golden on the bottom, about 2 more minutes. Transfer the shanks to a plate. Add the bacon to the pan and cook until it starts to render its fat, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic, onion, carrot, celery, leeks, mushrooms, fennel bulb, tomatoes, lemon zest, dried bay leaf, fresh thyme, sage, flat-leaf parsley, rosemary, and fennel seeds and cook for about 10 minutes. Return the shanks to the pan and add the wine and cognac and broth. Be sure to cover the shanks with the herb mixture. Cover pan and transfer to the oven. Cook at 425 degrees for approximately 20 minutes and then turn the oven down to 325 degrees and continue cooking for another 1 hour and 40 minutes. Serve over risotto or basmatic rice. Also serve a loaf of crusty French bread for dipping. King Ranch Casserole By: Nancy H. Rosenberg Most versions of this popular entree involve Ro-Tel tomatoes and canned soup. So what if its not exactly gourmet fare? Its beloved nonetheless. FYI, no one knows where the name originated, but the dish didnt come from the King Ranch. The famed South Texas spread is known instead for its beef and game dishes. Yield: 10 to 12 servings. 1 (3- to 4-lb.) broiler-fryer, cut up 1 tsp. salt 1 (10 3/4-oz.) can cream of chicken soup 1 (10 3/4-oz.) can cream of mushroom soup 1 (10-oz.) can Ro-Tel Diced Tomatoes and Green Chilies 1 large onion, chopped 1 large green pepper, chopped 1 1/2 tsp. chili powder 12 corn tortillas 2 c. shredded Monterey Jack or "Mexican-style" cheese garlic powder to taste Place chicken pieces in a large Dutch oven, add water to cover and 1 tsp. salt. Simmer, covered, about 1 hour, or until chicken is tender. When cool, remove and bone chicken, reserving broth. Cut or tear meat into small pieces; set aside. In a separate bowl, combine soups with tomatoes, onion, green pepper, and chili powder, and mix well; set aside. Heat reserved chicken broth. Tear tortillas into fourths, dip each piece in warm chicken broth, and place half the tortillas on the bottom of a greased 9 x 13 x 2-inch baking pan or casserole. Continue layering, using half of chicken, half of soup-tomatoes mixture, and half of cheese. Sprinkle with garlic powder, and repeat layers with remaining ingredients. Bake, covered, at 350° for 30 to 40 minutes, or until cheese has melted and sides of casserole are bubbly.

I use matzah meal, I've never made them with flour. I use the food processor these days. I seem to lose too much of my knuckle when I grate them by hand. I make a ton and then freeze them and bake them, but their the best right from the frying pan! Potato Latkes 6 medium Idaho potatoes 2 medium yellow onions 2 large eggs 1/4 cup matzoh meal, or 3 tablespoons all-purpose, unbleached flour 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper Chicken fat, or vegetable oil, for frying Applesauce Sour cream Peel potatoes and place in cold water. Using a box grater, grate potatoes and onions into large bowl. Transfer potato-and-onion mixture to a colander set over a bowl, and squeeze out excess moisture. Return mixture to bowl. In separate bowl, combine eggs, matzo meal or flour, and salt and pepper, to taste. Combine all ingredients, adding more matzo meal if mixture is too wet. In large skillet, heat 1/2-inch oil (or chicken fat) over medium-high heat. Drop tablespoon or serving spoon-size portions of mixture into hot oil, and press down with spoon to flatten. Fry until brown and crispy on edges; turn until golden brown on each side, cooking 3 minutes per side. Remove to paper towels to drain. Serve with applesauce or sour cream.

We love to try new things on the grill. Most of my recipes are from Steve Raichlen (I have 3 of his books). We probably do "beer can chicken" the most; sometimes with wine. We also love to just set mussels and clams on the grill and when they open we baste with herb butter.

This we don't make often, but it is a show stopper and goes well with pork loin.

Barbecued Cabbage (whole)
=========================

4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter
4 slices bacon (1/4 pound), cut crosswise into 1/4 inch slivers
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 medium-size green cabbage (about 2 pounds)
1/4 cup of your favorite Barbecue Sauce
Coarse salt and black pepper

1. Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and onion and cook until just beginning to brown. Drain the bacon and onion in a strainer over a bowl and reserve the drippings. Crumble a piece of aluminum foil and shape it into a ring about 3 inches in diameter (the cabbage will "sit" on this).

2. Cut the core out of the cabbage and discard. Cut the remaining butter into dice. Stir the bbq sauce into the bacon and onion mixture. Prop the cabbage up right on the aluminum foil ring, cavity facing up. Place the bacon and onion mixture in the cavity and top with as many pieces of butter as will fit. Using a basting brush, paint the outside of the cabbage with bacon drippings. Season the cabbage lightly with salt and generously with pepper.

3. If using a gas grill, place wood chips in the smoker box or make a pouch and preheat on high until you see smoke, then reduce the heat to medium.

4. Place the cabbage on its aluminun foil ring in the center of the hot grate away from the heat - you want indirect heat.

5. Grill the cabbage until very tender (when done it will be easy to pierce with a skewer), 1 to 1/2 hours. To serve, peel off any dired-out or charred outside leaves and discard. Cut the cabbage into wedges and serve.

This one makes a great presentation - it is so easy. We like to do these as an appetizer for guests - they take only minutes once they are prepped.

Rosemary-Grilled Scallops
=========================
1 2/3 pounds sea scallops
28 to 32 rosemary sprigs (each 3 to 4 inches long)
3 ounces prosciutto, sliced paper-thin
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil or basil oil
1 lemon, cut in wedges
Caorse salt and black pepper

1. Pull off and discard the muscles if they have it. Rinse and blot dry. Strip the bottom leaves off the rosemary sprigs. Cut the prosciutto into strips just large enough to wrap around the scallops (about 3/4 by 3/2 inches).

2. Lay scallop flat on your work surface. Wrap a piece of prosciutto around it and skewer it with a rosemary sprig. Arrange the scallops on a plate or in a a nonreactive baking dish. Drizzle with oil over both sides of the scallops, squeeze lemon juice over them, and season with salt and pepper (easy on the salt, as the prosciutto is fairely salty). Let marinate for 15 minutes while you light the grill.
3. Set up the grill for direct grilling and preheat to hight. Brush and oil the grill grate. Place the skewered scallops on the hot grate and grill until cooked, 2 to 3 minutes per side. The scallops are done when they turn white and feel firm.

This we make often:

Ginger-Soy London Broil
=======================

1 piece (2 inches) fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
1/2 red onion, cut into 1-inch chunks
4 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
1/4 cup dry red wine
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 flank steak (1/2 to 2 pounds)

1. Prepare the marinade: Place the ginger, onion, garlic, and cilantro in a food processor and process until a smooth paste forms. Add the wine, soy sauce, oil and pepper and process to combine.

2. Place the steak in a baking dish just large enough to hold it and spread the marinade over it. Let marinate in the refrgerator, covered, for at least 4 hours, ideally 6 hours, or even overnight, turning the steak a few times.

3. Set up grill for direct grilling and preheat to high. Brush and oil the grill grate. Remove steak and drain well. Place the steak on the hot grate and grill, 6 to 8 minutes per side for medium-rare, 2 minutes more per side for medium, rotating the steak 90 degrees after 3 minutes if a crosshatch of grill marks is desired. Let rest for 5 minutes. Using a sharp knife, carve it into broad think slices, holding the knife blade at a 45 degree angle to the top of meat.

BEEF-BARLEY SALAD serves 4

10 oz. well-trimmed flank steak
1/ 2 tsp. salt
1/ 4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 1/ 2 cups defatted chicken broth
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp. grated lemon zest
1/ 2 tsp. ground ginger
1 1/ 2 cups quick-cooking barley
6 oz. green beans, cut into 1 inch lengths
1 Tbs. olive oil
2 carrots, shredded
2 tomatoes, cut into 8 wedges each
2 Tbs. coarsely chopped toasted pecans
4 cups torn romaine lettuce leaves

Rub the steak with I Tbs. of the lemon juice and the salt. Grill or broil until medium-rare. Let cool, then refrigerate overnight. Next day, cut the steak on the diagonal in bite-size pieces, reserving any juices.

In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of the broth, 1/ 2 cup of water, the garlic, lemon zest, and ginger and bring to a boil over medium heat. Add the barley, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until the barley is almost tender, about 8 minutes. Add the green beans and cook until the beans are crisp-tender and the barley is tender, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat; do not drain any remaining liquid.

In a large bowl, combine the remaining 1/ 2 cup broth, the remaining 3 Tbs. lemon juice, the steak juices, and the oil. Add the beef and everything else except the lettuce, tossing well to combine.

When I take this for lunch, I pack lettuce and salad mixture separately and serve salad on top of lettuce.

Bacon Baked Potatoes

Scrub russet potatoes and pat dry. Poke holes in potatoes and place each on a piece of foil large enough to completely surround it. Sprinkle each potato with kosher salt and fresh ground pepper. Wrap one slice of bacon around each potato and seal them in the foil. Bake at 400° or on the grill over hot coals 40 to 50 minutes turning over half way through baking time.

{{gwi:2046223}}

Combine in a bowl;

1 1/2 pounds cleaned shrimp (large or small)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Pinch of cayenne pepper
2 cloves garlic; minced
1/2 teaspoon oregano
a squeeze of lime or lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
dash fresh ground pepper

Allow to marinate in refrigerator at least 30 minutes but no more than 2 hours (if you over marinate it the lime juice will begin to "cook" the shrimp). If shrimp are large enough, place on skewers (I like to use two skewers at a time so shrimp won't curl. If shrimp are small use a grill tray or fish rack. Pre-heat grill to very hot. Add shrimp mixture; cook until shrimp turn pink, two to four minutes. Do not over cook!

*This is wonderful served on top of risotto with roasted colored bell peppers and broccoli at the side.

**If using wooden skewers, soak in water at least 30 minutes before grilling

Grilled Chicken Skewers

2 chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 cloves garlic; minced
1/2 teaspoon oregano
Juice from 1/2 of lime (or lemon)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Fresh ground pepper to taste

1 sweet bell pepper
1/2 sweet onion (or red onion)
Cherry or grape tomatoes (optional)
1 lime (or lemon) cut into chunks
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and Pepper to taste

Cut chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Combine next 7 ingredients in a plastic bag and add chicken, coating well with mixture. Marinate in refrigerator at least 30 minutes but no more than 2 hours (if you marinate it too long the acid in the lime juice will begin to "cook" the chicken).
Cut bell pepper and onion into 1-inch chunks. Toss bell peppers, onions, grape or cherry tomatoes and lemon or lime chunks with olive oil and salt and pepper; place one between each piece of chicken on skewers. **To keep food from sliding off the end of the skewer, place half of a garlic clove at the tip.
Cook on a pre-heated, hot grill. Chicken cooks quickly so be careful to not over cook or chicken will be tough; cook about 4 minutes, turn and cook another 3 or 4 minutes.

Here are a couple more:

{{gwi:2046224}}

Thick cut (1 1/2-inch) chops are the best. Brine first refrigerated in a mixture of 4 cups cold water, 1/4 cup kosher salt and 1/4 cup sugar (4 large chops) for 2 hours. Remove from brine, rinse and dry well then drizzle with olive oil.

Place on a very hot grill or sear in hot oil in a very hot skillet until well browned (5 minutes each side). Chops should reach an internal temperature of 140°. If chops are cooked in a skillet and get too brown, transfer to 450° oven only until internal temperature reaches 140° (insert meat thermometer sideways into chop being careful to not touch the bone). Allow chops to rest off the heat for about 10 minutes before serving. Internal temperature will increase to at least 150° during standing time. Dangerous bacteria are killed at 137°. Do not over cook

GRILLED STUFFED PEACHES serves 4

4 large peaches
2 Tbs. fresh lemon juice
1/ 3 cup quick-cooking oats
2 Tbs. firmly packed light brown sugar
1 Tbs. finely chopped almonds
1 Tbs. butter, melted
1/ 2 tsp. cinnamon

In a large pot of boiling water, cook the whole peaches for 30 seconds. Rinse them under cold water and carefully peel the skins. Halve and pit the peaches and cut a very thin slice from the back of each so it will lie flat. In a bowl, toss the peach halves with the lemon juice.

Preheat the grill to medium heat. Combine the remaining ingredients and divide evenly, filling the centers of the peach halves. Place the filled peaches on the grill and cook, covered, for 5 or 6 minutes or until the peaches are tender. Place the peach halves on 4 plates and serve hot or warm. (161 calories per serving)

Oh Ruthanna! I am so glad you posted that grilled peaches recipe again! I wanted to try them last year and never got around to it, but couldn't find the recipe again! So I will make a point of grilling these as son as I can get decent peaches here!
