Elk Tenderloin All Dressed Up

Mon, 22 Sep 2008 00:58:50 -0400

Elk Tenderloin filled with Grand Marnier Scallops Yield: 4 This particular Dish is great on a BBQ. Things You Must Do the Day Before: marinate Jumbo Scallops in 1 oz of Grand Marnier the day before. Things You Must Not Do : Do Not Cut Your Bacon. it will be used to wrap the Scallops. Do not over cook Your Scallops! Most over cook their Scallops. They must be juicy and not dry at all. They may even look raw to you in the inside - but trust me - they are not. Check the internal temperature. -- posted by Chefbari

Spicy Grilled Fish

Tue, 07 Oct 2008 22:15:16 -0400

This is a really tasty, economical and different way to enjoy fish! Lots of flavor from the marinade and easy clean up! Winners in my book. I am sure this would work very well on any firm, mild fish. When I made this I was a little crunched in the time department so I only got to marinade it for 1 hour and it was delicious. Plan ahead! This is best marinated for at least an hour but no more than 2 hours. In a pinch, just let it marinate while the grill is heating. -- posted by mama's kitchen

Ensalada De Nopales Y Camarones - Cactus and Shrimp Salad

Fri, 31 Oct 2008 18:44:49 -0400

Cactus is a common and tasty food item in Mexico and parts of SW USA. Cactus, or NOPALES as they are known in Texas and Mexico, can be found fresh and needle free in the produce section. You can even find jars of Nopales or Nopalitos (little (pieces of) Nopales) in the ethnic aisle of your grocery store. If you choose to use those please drain them and rinse them well. Green Beans or chayote can be substituted if cactus is not available. The nutritional info here is not correct as the olive oil is used for coating the items you are grilling and in the dressing. Not all of it is consumed. This recipe is from La Comida Del Barrio (meaning Foods from the neighborhood) Latin American Cooking in the U.S., by Aaron Sanchez (Clarkson Potter, 2003) This dish would be wonderful with any Mexican cerveza (beer) or with a crisp and fruity Sauvignon Blanc. -- posted by mama's kitchen

Garlic Seafood Pasta

Tue, 09 Dec 2008 01:18:16 -0500

If frozen, run the seafood under cold running water to thaw quickly or if time permits, thaw overnight. For the best grilling results, blot the scallops dry with paper towels before placing on the grate. Health It Up Twist: For a veggie-rich option, serve the seafood over a bed of steamed green beans, sliced sweet peppers and zucchini, instead of pasta. Simply delicious!! -- posted by Chef mariajane

Swordfish, Sicilian Style

Sun, 11 Jan 2009 12:27:52 -0500

DH and I enjoyed this recipe from Williams-Sonoma last night very much. We cooked in our stovetop grill pan. The recipe made more spice rub than was needed to coat the steaks so we heavily applied. We found that this overpowered the dish a bit, so I would recommend not heavily applying the rub, just use enough to coat. We used kalamata olives for the black olives. -- posted by Dr. Jenny

Garlic Halibut

Tue, 13 Jan 2009 19:42:59 -0500

My 22 year old son was looking for a way to cook up some halibut and found this in one of our cookbooks. It went together easily and he was very proud of the results. It was very flavorful and we plan to fix it again. From "How to Grill" by Steven Raichlen. Regarding the cilantro root -- my husband looked at every Asian market in the area to no avail thinking if anyone would have cilantro root they would. He felt it was essential to the recipe despite the recommendation of adding additional cilantro instead. He mentioned to me he had been looking for cilantro root -- "Did you think of the herb section of the nursery?" I bought a little 4-inch pot of cilantro from the herb section and washed the roots thoroughly (a chore, I will admit). Sometimes you can find cilantro with some of the roots attached, but rarely. You decide how labor intensive you want this recipe to be, but there is an option for you if you are looking for cilantro root. -- posted by Sharlene~W

Spicy Grilled Shrimp Skewers

Fri, 13 Feb 2009 17:28:22 -0500

I suggest to use fresh shrimp for this as frozen thawed will create a watery marinade, do not marinade for longer than 30 minutes or the acid in the lemon juice will "cook" the shrimp, adjust the cayenne to suit heat level, I have left the Tabasco as optional you may add it or omit --- this shrimp is very good! -- posted by KITTENCAL

Cajun Shrimp W/ Red Peppers Angel Hair Pasta and Cayenne Alfredo

Wed, 18 Feb 2009 14:00:06 -0500

This recipe combines grilled shrimp brushed with lemon butter and sprinkled with Creole seasoning. The shrimp is added to a mixture of red bell pepper slices simmered in olive oil with garlic and onions. Alfredo sauce is then added to the shrimp and peppers and laced lightly with cayenne pepper to kick it up a bit. This mixture is then served over a bed of angel hair pasta. I created this about two years ago on a whim and it has become a family favorite. The trick is not to make it too spicy - but the flavors of the grilled shrimp, sweet peppers and light amount of spicy alfredo is a real delight in our house. I doubt this recipe is original, but it is something my family asks me to make for special occasions because it is a favorite. The timing of the cooking of the pasta, peppers and shrimp is essential to avoid overcooking any of the ingredients. Think ahead, go for it and enjoy! -- posted by Chef Tony M.

Planked Salmon With Honey Balsamic Glaze

Fri, 27 Mar 2009 01:33:23 -0400

This is my favorite grilled salmon. It is grilled on a cedar plank (make sure you soak the plank for at least 8 hours). The ingredients are the perfect blend. The original recipe has it baked in an oven at 400 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes. We cook it at the same temp and time on the grill. You could use 4 - 6 ounce portion fillets (skin on) on 2 cedar planks. We prefer half a side of salmon with the skin on. The recipe is by Michael Chiarello. I like to serve this with wild rice and a tossed green salad. -- posted by weluv2cook

Grilled Scallops With Mexican Corn Salad

Mon, 18 May 2009 14:08:36 -0400

Recipe by Nick Fauchald, From Pairing of the Day: June 2008, Beer vs Wine in F&W Magazine, June 2008 edition. In this spicy salad, plump grilled scallops sit on top of charred corn tossed with the ingredients in "elote", an irresistible Mexican corn-on-the-cob street snack. Faced with the spiciness here.:) Sam Calagione chose the refreshing Allagash White, a low-alcohol wheat beer that won't make the chile's heat taste harsh. Marnie Old zoomed in on the salad's smoky nuances and selected moderate oaky 2006 Alma Rosa Chardonnay, from California. She likes to pair oaky wines with grilled foods , she says "oak gives the same kinds of smoky flavors that grilling gives food." There is a 10 minute "standing" time to allow some flavors to marinate which I didn't include in the preparation time. -- posted by Manami

Shrimp Bites Wrapped in Greens

Tue, 07 Jul 2009 11:07:02 -0400

Isabel Cruz's Spicy "Shoestring" Party Menu for a Sultry Late-Summer Night - CBS Morning Show, 09/01/2007. The San Diego-based chef likes to marry the tastes of Latin American cooking she grew up with to the Pacific Rim tastes she's come to know as a Californian. But most of all, Cruz likes to keep her cooking clean, fresh, flavorful and healthy - she likes to go for flavors that pop and offer contrast to one another. She has 5 restaurants on the West Coast, from Portland, Ore. down to San Diego, Ca:). She has also published a cookbook "Isabel's Cantina."Growing-up, Isabel's friends were Puerto Rican, Cuban, Peruvian, and she also spent time with her Asian friends learning Japanese, Chinese and Korean cuisine. Thus, was born her fusion of different flavors. "This is a Thai appetizer of shrimp wrapped with coconut, peanuts, and chiles in a leaf. She likes to use raw collard greens as wrappers for these spicy little snacks, which she drizzles with a little guava sauce to complete the hot-sweet Thai flavors while also bringing these bites further into the Latin realm. Prepare these ingredients in advance, and then assemble these at the last minute." She was given a $60 budget to create a dinner menu for 6 people - thus: Chef on a Shoesting. -- posted by Manami

Tried this marinade over the weekend on Mahi Mahi and it was great. We grilled the steaks and chopped them up to make tacos. Again I wanted to make sure I didn't forget what I did so I am posting it here. -- posted by ReneeT

Grilled Salmon With Brown Sugar, Garlic and Ginger

Sun, 02 Aug 2009 10:20:07 -0400

Extremely easy. And easy to scale up for parties. Moist, sweet and salty, it's good hot or cold (or leftover in the best salmon sandwiches ever). My family won't let me cook salmon any other way. -- posted by Chef #1303852

Marinate the shrimp in this fun mixture of garlic, ginger, and gound spices, then thread it on skewer and grill until lightly charred. Based on the recipe served at Ludacris' "Straits Atlanta." Leave time for 3 hours marinating. -- posted by Super Wifey

Salmon Steaks With Green Bean Salad

Wed, 19 Aug 2009 01:24:23 -0400

We really enjoyed this fish dish -- instead of the fish indicated in the original recipe (swordfish) I used salmon steaks which are less expensive and easier for me to buy where I live. Recipe source: 200 Barbecue Recipes -- posted by ellie_

Jalapeno Shark Burgers

Mon, 24 Aug 2009 02:24:24 -0400

I came up with this when I had bought some shark steaks and had no idea what to do with them. My mom mentioned that shark is a meaty fish, but a bit bland, so I decided to throw it in the food processor and make burgers. Try to trim off as much of the skin and fatty stuff as you can. This is a very simple recipe, but has good spicy flavour if using my Habanero Barbecue Sauce (Rz#368097). -- posted by CoCaShe

Swordfish With Lemon, Garlic and Olive Oil

Wed, 26 Aug 2009 10:05:56 -0400

This recipe is Italian but with the ingredients used, it could be part of a Greek menu as well. Use the maximum marinating time for the best flavour. From "Williams-Sonoma Italian Favourites". -- posted by Irmgard

thetis Queen Albacore Tuna Tacones With Spicy Spot Prawn Mayo

Tacones are a taco-cone or a tortilla handroll. I am newly addicted to this meal! The recipe comes from a Victoria restaurant. It is wonderful! http://www.redfish-bluefish.com/ -- posted by Barefoot Beachcomber

Peach Bourbon BBQ Shrimp & Bacon Wrapped Scallops

Mon, 31 Aug 2009 11:06:28 -0400

These incredible little morsels (made at Red Lobster) are the very best thing on the menu. They absolutely melt in your mouth and can easily be made in your own backyard. I found the recipe on the Internet and really wanted to share it with you, my friends on "Zaar". Feel free to adjust the amount of Bourbon to your own liking. We found this just perfect. These can be served as an appetizer or main course. -- posted by Judikins

Grilled Dijon-Maple Salmon

Thu, 10 Sep 2009 17:07:46 -0400

Yummy looking salmon recipe from the Grey Poupon package. Although I haven't tried this recipe yet I imagine you could marinate the salmon in the syrup mixture rather than brush it on while grilling for a more intense flavor. Prep time includes chilling time. -- posted by KellyMac6

Luau Walleye

Tue, 15 Sep 2009 11:43:27 -0400

This is my personal take on a delicious recipe I found called Kashabowie Walleye at www.walleyecentral.com. Tender, moist walleye fish steam cooked on the grill or in the broiler. Falls apart with a fork almost instantly. Low maintenance preparation and quick cook time. serves 4-8 (depending on how hearty the appetites.) -- posted by Chef S. A. Curtwright

Grilled Salmon Salad

Tue, 29 Sep 2009 17:50:14 -0400

An easy and healthy meal. It makes a great lunch if you grill the salmon the night before. We often use leftover grilled salmon from dinner. -- posted by 49flavours

A fusion of lemongrass and ginger flavored shrimp or fish made with Elmstock lemongrass and ginger tea. Easy and unique. Tried in my kitchen for a dinner with family and on the barbecue for a summer party -- posted by Chef at Elmstock Tea

Salmon With Honey-Lime Dressing

Sun, 18 Oct 2009 10:03:24 -0400

I got this recipe from Weber's Real Grilling. The original recipe calls for a huge fillet salmon on a full cedar plank, but I've done this recipe for individual salmon fillets on smaller planks. It's a much nicer way to serve them, and easier to do for a smaller group. The proportions here are for the whole large salmon, but I find that about half is enough for 3-4 smaller fillets. -- posted by CoCaShe

Citrus Pesto Tuna

Sun, 18 Oct 2009 10:03:46 -0400

I got this recipe from Weber's Real Grilling cookbook, and tried it today for my first tuna recipe. The marinade was great, although the cooking time seemed a bit short (the recipe says 3-4 minutes, turning once) so I increased it to 4 minutes per side and it was overdone. I'm including the original cooking times in this recipe, but it depends on the size of the steak, so I'll have to keep experimenting! -- posted by CoCaShe
