Easy Cedar-plank Salmon

Once the boards are cut to size, this is a very simple way to cook salmon. As long as you don't overcook the salmon, it comes out moist and flavorful. Grilling time depends on how hot your coals are and how thick the board. -- posted by Akikobay

Nothing like fresh caught Blues on a Cape Cod summer day. This recipe comes from our son Chip who loves to fish, he says it comes from someone at his work who is Portuguese.

Chef Shea Gallante of Cru in New York City based this recipe on a classic Florentine dish called "bistecca alla fiorentina"- a thick T-bone grilled rare over hot coals.

Morg Kebab (Iranian Skewered Chicken)

Mon, 17 Oct 2005 15:57:40 -0400

There are times when you just want to keep it simple: to use fewer ingredients but still to produce a sensational result. This is a simple but delicious recipe for chicken kebabs. For the best results, the recipe recommends cooking the kebabs over glowing coals but concedes that the kebabs can be cooked on a preheated grill. I found this recipe in 'The Best of Lebanese and Middle Eastern Cooking', and I'm posting it here for the 2005 Zaar World Tour. The preparation and cooking times below do not include the 2 hours suggested minimum time for marinating. -- posted by bluemoon downunder

Herb Grilled Rack of Lamb

Tue, 14 Nov 2006 17:24:32 -0500

Quick and easy yet elegant grilled main dish. Herb measurements are approximate, and any of the savory , or mint family of herbs may be used. If you use fresh herbs, you can't go wrong. The only sin is to not use enough. If fresh herbs aren't available, you may substitute dried herbs, but reduce the quantities to 2-3 tsp. each. Frenched Lamb racks are available in vac packs most everywhere. If not, ask your butcher to french them for you. -- posted by Smoky Okie

Jamaican Jerk Chicken and Seasoning

Thu, 08 Feb 2007 21:54:25 -0500

I was fortunate to receive an old family recipe from a business associate who is from Jamaica for jerk seasoning. We like it so much that I make 2# batches at a time. For those of you not familiar with Jerk, it is a spicy, sweet, tangy and HOT seasoning for grilled meat, pork and chicken particularly. This spice blend recipe will make enough for several batches, but remember, the idea is to put as much on the meat as you can get to stick. -- posted by Smoky Okie

This is a Mayan recipe for an incredibly delicious "pulled pork" for tacos. We make this at the restaurant I work at, Ciudad D.F. in Dallas, but I actually like this recipe better. It comes from 'Tacos' The Santa Fe School of Cooking Series cookbook. Achiote paste and Banana leaves can be found in your local Hispanic Market. Trust me on this the Habaneroes only add flavor, there is no heat at all. If you want it spicy add more and leave the seeds in. Roasting them first also adds more spice. -- posted by Lust

Recipe from Aziz Bakhalla from the Alhamra Restaurant in Manly, NSW, Australia. I have altered a little to suit the dried herbs & spices I was using and also converted several things to teaspoons, as a US tablespoon is 3 teaspoons whereas in Australia it's 4 teaspoons. Note the preparation time does not include one hour for marination. I thought it was splendid, but the marinade is about flavour not making the meat more tender so make sure you start with a really nice piece of lamb. -- posted by Peter J

Lemon and Thyme Sausage Kebabs

One of several budget-savvy, "sizzling sausages" recipes in the current issue of the Australian magazine 'New Idea'. This one food editor Barbara Northwood has costed at $A2.26 per serve. Vary the vegetables to meet your taste preferences and add some heat if that's what you like! If making this, I'd be inclined to increase the number of mushrooms and use onion slices in place of the corn which I've never been particularly fond of. -- posted by bluemoon downunder

Chorizo and Halloumi Skewers

Wed, 11 Mar 2009 12:34:42 -0400

A yummy-sounding recipe from the current issue of the Australian magazine 'super food ideas'. You'll need 8 pre-soaked wooden bamboo skewers. Feel free to vary the olives in this recipe. I haven't made these yet but I'd be inclined to use unpitted kalamata olives or perhaps half and half unpitted kalamata olives and the suggested pimento-stuffed green olives. I've suggested that these could be served at a picnic, if you were picnicking where there were BBQs. They could be made up to the end of step 1. For serving at a home BBQ, they could of course also be prepared to that stage and BBQd just before you are ready to serve them. -- posted by bluemoon downunder

The perfect summertime weekday meal. Fire up the grill, throw on some pork chops & apricots (yes the apricots) and away we go! This is from the Northwest Essentials Cookbook. My 3-year old cleaned his plate eating this tonight, as did my husband... so I figured it was time to post this. -- posted by Janice Y

Mon, 13 Jul 2009 15:27:33 -0400

This looks like a simple, tasty side dish. You can prepare the chilli-herb butter the night before and I suppose you could make it for jacket potatoes too. This recipe comes from Australian Good Taste magazine, Dec 2008. -- posted by Rhiannon&Matt.gauci

Seared Scallops /W Grilled Corn & Scallion Salad

Thu, 16 Jul 2009 14:20:33 -0400

Perfect summer recipe. I used corn from a local farm and it was great! I used this recipe as a start but didn't really follow it to a T: http://atthehotplate.blogspot.com/2009/07/sitting-on-train-heading-back-to.html I recommend thawing the scallops in the refrigerator or on the counter for best results. Read through the directions before starting. -- posted by Andrew Mollmann

Peppered Venison Steak With Spiced Smothered Onions

Thu, 20 Aug 2009 10:58:08 -0400

Australian chef Huey (Iain Hewitson)'s recipe for what he describes as basically an American recipe: Peppered Venison Steak with Spiced Smothered Onions. Venison, he advises, should be medium rare at the most so have everything ready to go before adding the venison steaks to the pre-heated grill. Some conversions: 150 grams = approximately 5 ounces; 180 grams = just over 6 ounces. -- posted by bluemoon downunder

Bollywood Chicken Skewers With Spiced Yogurt Dip

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 18:15:35 -0400

Toasted Indian spices and lots of green herbs set these skewers apart. The spiciness of fresh jalapenos varies greatly, so take a tiny taste to gauge the heat, then adjust to your preference. The yogurt dip provides a cooling contrast. -- posted by College Girl
