Grill Everything

Written by Diana - August 10, 2009 9 Comments

I once posted about Brownies – and cooking them on the grill.  Truth is we like to grill as much as we can when it’s really hot outside. Last night for dinner we did just that, we grilled everything.

First, we had Bison Burgers.  My mom is visiting until Wednesday so we took her to the farm market with us. She saw the stats on the Bison meat and said she’d like to try some.  Bison Burgers coming up. 

Corn on the Cob – I didn’t want to do the boiling water method, it was way too hot outside.  Heating up an air conditioned home is counter productive.  I used Linette’s idea for a guideline.  We didn’t use all of the spices, just pulled out the silk and pushed the husk back over the cob.  The outside of the husk was charred even though we soaked it, but the inside was perfect.  It also didn’t get watered down like it does sometimes when boiled. When it’s done, pull off the husk, salt, pepper and butter.

Patty Pan Squash – I love grilled squash, so I thought these would be perfect.  The only problem is my husband kept running inside to play some damn game and didn’t watch the grill.  So it was charred on the outside.  I told him, grill marks, dear, we want grill marks, not charring.  However, if you pulled off the char, and ate the inside of the squash it was really tasty.  I sliced the patty pan in half horizontally,then brushed it with oil, salt and garlic pepper.  If you don’t char it, then your squash will be perfect.  The picture is the before picture, just imagine it with beautiful grill marks please.

That’s it, a light, grilled meal – eaten outside on the deck in the shade of a nice big tree.  Can I have some  more s’il vous plait?

    Thanks for the mention:-) I love patty pan squash! I was just thinking about them the other day. I don’t have any growing in the garden but I may have to get some.

    My husband is a great fan of grilling everything even in winter. And it’s less laborious for us, isn’t it?

    Well it may be less laborious if we don’t have to find our husbands because they went back into the house to play a game… :(

    We grill everything! Sometimes we do the corn in the husks also (soaking them first). If I forget to soak them then we husk them and put them in a foil packet (you can put 3 or 4 in a packet) and put seasoning on and throw in 2 ice cubes. Throw it all on the grill – nice and tender.

    We grill zucchini a lot also – just did it the other night. I had small ones so I just sliced in half lengthwise. Put a little olive oil and s&p on them and you are good to go.

    Hubby has a nice chair outside in the shade by his grill – it is HIS chair. He just sits and relaxes while grilling – helps keep things from burning.
