10 Delicious Grill Recipes

Stuffed Tomatoes

I’m always looking for fun veggie side dishes to put on the grill to complement whatever main course I am making. Tomatoes, stuffed with blue cheese, grilled to melt and charred to perfection work perfectly with a nice steak. Throw in some fresh herbs and a dash of balsamic vinegar, and you have yourself the perfect grilled side dish.



Baby Artichokes

[post_ads]Grilled artichokes can be a little work-intensive in the prep but they are so worth it! The grill adds so much flavor to the artichokes that you don’t really need a sauce. But I can't resist the chef's dressing. If you don’t feel like making the dipping sauce, the 'chokes are perfectly wonderful with a drizzle of olive oil, sea salt and fresh-squeezed lemon juice. Note: Baby artichokes are smaller and therefore require less actual cook time, which is an added bonus!

Banana Parfait

 the grill. Bananas and ice cream and rum sauce equal an insanely good sweet end to a meal. I splurged and went with the Tahitian vanilla gelato versus regular old ice-cream, and paired that with grilled bananas, vanilla wafers, strawberries and a healthy dose of rum sauce. 


Smoky Margaritas

 

If you love the smokiness the grill imparts in food, then you will love this classic citrus cocktail with a twist. By grilling the lemons and lime, the fruit caramelizes and gets a nice char while also making them extra juicy for squeezing into your pitcher.
This recipe makes a pitcher of margaritas, roughly four very large glasses.

Mini Caprese Pizzas

Pizza is not just for ovens anymore. The grill is a great place to do pizza because you get nice grate marks on the dough that add a nice touch as the grill actually cooks the pizza dough.
This recipe is great tailgating as it requires minimal ingredients and everything can be prepped the night before.

   Romaine Hearts

This is one of those recipes that I’m known for in my family. Why is grilled romaine my go-to side dish? It is quick and easy and yields flavorful results every time. Because the grill caramelizes the lettuce, there’s no need for added dressing, which makes it low in fat/calories and high in flavor! Only a few simple ingredients are used in this recipe: sea salt, fresh ground pepper, olive oil and freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

Jalapeño Poppers

These are simple to make and grill, and aren’t too spicy because the seeds from the jalapeño have been removed. Sometimes I make these for dinner because I love them that much


Tuna Steaks

I finally made it over to my local seafood market and it was an eye opening experience. The freshness, variety and quality of the seafood now makes me balk at the idea of getting fish at my supermarket. While there, I picked up some beautiful sushi-grade tuna steaks. Here is a simple way to prepare seared tuna on the grill



Key Lime Guacamole

This recipe puts a South Florida spin on traditional guacamole with Florida avocados and tart Key limes. All ingredients are grilled, including the limes, which adds a nice char and smokiness to the dip. If you’ve never had Florida avocados, they are huge—one avocado would equal two Haas avocados. They are literally falling from the trees down here in South Florida in the summertime.

Beef Satay

This recipe combines all my favorite ingredients—lime juice, cilantro, jalapenos—I guarantee this will make it to your top five marinades. The longer the meat marinates, the more cilantro-lime flavor you get.
