BBQ & Grilling

Ground lamb is seasoned with fresh mint and cilantro, and ginger and green chili paste, and made into delicious shish kabobs. Serve with lime wedges, mint chutney, and sliced, sweet Vidalia onions. 

Grilled, salmon skewers marinated in honey, soy sauce, and ginger. A delicious appetizer that won't have you missing your own party to prepare. 

Fresh herbs, balsamic vinegar, and plenty of garlic flavor these juicy, grilled rib eye steaks. 

This is a Greek/American lamb and beef mixture version of the traditional Greek pork or lamb Gyros (or Gyro). Serve on warm pita bread with tzatziki sauce, and thinly sliced onion, tomato and lettuce. 

This delicious alternative to beef hamburgers has a Mediterranean twist with feta cheese and kalamata olives. 

A scoop of vanilla ice cream served over grilled pineapple with a sweet and creamy butterscotch sauce makes a wonderful dessert. Canned pineapple can be used when fresh pineapple isn't in season. 

Grilled pork tenderloin with garlic, thyme and rosemary. 

A lime-tarragon marinade for juicy flavorful chicken pieces - moist and delicious. I like to marinate the pieces and cook them on the grill for a nice summer meal. 

These savory salmon burgers hold up well on the grill, especially if you use a nice fillet of wild king salmon. Serve on an onion roll with lettuce, tomato, mustard, and horseradish for a great barbeque main dish. 

After a wild night marinating in a slightly sweet soy sauce and lemon-lime mixture, sirloin steak chunks are skewered with veggies and grilled. You'll want to make these again and again! 

We love pulled BBQ pork sandwiches at our house, so we make this every few weeks. The pork just shreds apart after its done, and the smoky flavor is incredible. It's best to brine the meat overnight to help it retain moisture during smoking, but it's not necessary. There's a basic brine recipe on this site titled 'Basic Brine for Smoking' if you want to brine the pork. I like to rub the pork before I smoke it with a very spicy dry rub that I usually make up each time, so that it's always different. Also, I use apple wood chips because we like the sweet, fruity flavor they yield. When it's done, shred it apart, heat up your favorite sauce and slather some on a bun. Authentic pit barbecue right in your own house! 

Cheese and corn are sandwiched between two grilled tortillas in this easy appetizer. A slice of tomato adds color and flavor. Cut the tortillas into wedges to serve. Try different cheeses for a varied snack. 

A loose interpretation of the wonderful Mexican dish, vegetarian and non-greasy but very savory. Totally lacking in heat for families, but drop a chipotle or two into the sauce if you're cooking for masochists. 

Deliciously spiced sweet potatoes are grilled with apples for a perfect summertime dish! 

Grilled peaches are given a slightly savory treatment to make an excellent summertime side dish. Serve as an appetizer or atop a salad.
