Familia Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 I got DH a cute little gas grill for his birthday; we haven't had a grill in almost 20 years! So far, we have had steaks (reverse seared...yum!), hamburgers, and brats. Can you tell me what you like to grill and how? We would like to do veggies, corn, other meats, and seafood. Do we need special pans for anything? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sneezyone Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 (edited) Huli hull chicken. Leg quarters or thighs (skin on) work best. Bell peppers, onions and mushrooms. We just toss 'em in EVOO and seasoning salt We like zuchini slices drizzled in lemon. Pineapple slices. Baguettes (cut long ways) after drizzling on garlic, EVOO, and Goya seasoning salt.

PrincessMommy Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 We grill a lot too. My go-to favorite right now is paprika chicken thighs - boneless/skinless type. So yummy. https://www.happyfoodstube.com/grilled-boneless-chicken-thighs/ Just be careful of the flare-ups because of the oils We also love this chicken Slouvlaki recipe. But, I don't cut the chicken up into chunks to form Kabobs... I just cut the breast up into long thin strips and marinate then grill. https://www.happyfoodstube.com/grilled-boneless-chicken-thighs/ We also love Salmon teriyaki on the grill - I just use a basic homemade recipe and grill it up. So yummy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmasc Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 This is my favorite thing to make on the grill. It is so yummy. https://addapinch.com/my-favorite-grilled-salmon-recipe/ I also threw some plain mini bell peppers straight on the grill the other night and seared them on all sides and they were delicious. I didn’t put a thing on them. Just tossed them on! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali in OR Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Grilled pizza! Fantastic wood-fired taste with even the most humble ingredients (but I use briquettes, so maybe it's that). Get a 16 oz ball of pizza dough (we tend to get it at Trader Joe's) and divide it into 3 parts. Roll them out. Grill one side for a couple of minutes, rotating it around a bit. Flip and do the other side just 20 or 30 seconds so it's not too sticky. Place toppings on the fully grilled side--with a light touch. We brush on a little olive oil, then pizza sauce, a little finely shredded mozzarella, then whatever toppings you want. We make 6 little pizzas from 2 balls of dough, so we do a variety. Take it back to the grill and use the cover to help the cheese melt. Rotate it a few times. Take it off the grill, slice with a pizza cutter, and begin eating immediately while you cook the rest. Yum! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frances Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 We do lots of salmon by placing it in aluminum foil that has a bit of olive oil spray. I like it best with olive oil and Cajun seasoning. I often make fresh tzaziki to go with it. Recently we made some amazing Greek chicken kabobs using chicken breasts and one of our long time favorites is marinated fish for fish tacos, also cooked on aluminum foil. Boneless skinless thighs with salt, pepper, and garlic seasoning is a staple. https://damndelicious.net/2019/08/28/greek-chicken-kabobs/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Familia Posted June 3, 2020 Author Share Posted June 3, 2020 (edited) You are all making me very hungry! @Frances do I need to poke holes in the foil to cook with foil on grill (newbie question, certainly=) @PrincessMommy I’d also like the Chicken Slouvaki recipe. Do you just put the chicken strips on grill grates or use foil? ETA - As a Father’s Day gift, I just went to Amazon & ordered DH a stainless grill pan (11” square). Hopefully that is good (and not superfluous) for at least veggies & small pieces of meat. Edited June 3, 2020 by Familia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktgrok Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 My go to for easy and yummy is chicken breasts that are pounded out flat (otherwise they are too thick in some areas and thin in others and don't cook well) and thinner, and then marinated in italian dressing. Grill after marinating at least an hour. SO good, so stupid simple, and the leftovers are great for slicing up on a salad. Caesar salad or a salad with some spinach, berries, grapes, apples, blue cheese, walnuts, and slices or chunks of that grilled chicken breast - yum! Corn in the husk still is good . Barbecued chicken thighs or drumsticks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selkie Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 We throw all kinds of veggies on the grill. Portobellos, eggplant, and red onions are favorites. Drizzle with balsamic reduction - yum! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsheresomewhere Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Grilled pineapple and grilled peaches are a favorite here. Grilled watermelon is nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spy Car Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Among the large variety of grilled veggies I enjoy, I really like Mexican street-style grilled corn. Husk the corn, soak a while it in heavily salted water (retain brine), place on hot grill, periodically (a few times) dunk the corn quickly back into the brine, then place back on grill. Cook until really golden. Better to err on the side of overdone. When finished, butter and (optionally) season with lime and chilies or a powdered lime-chili seasoning. Corn prepared this way develops a very chewy texture and the method intensifies the "corn" flavor. If you don't like lime/chilies, it is very delicious with butter alone. Completely optional.

I usually fold over the edges and bring them up a bit to catch any juices. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
