Originally Posted By smedley Salmon skewers - salmon fillets, slices of corn on the cob, cherry tomatoes, aubergine(eggplant?), courgettes(zucchini). Cut salmon fillets, aubergine and zucchini into 1 inch or so cubes. Cook the corn on the cob slices for a few minutes in boiling water so they are part cooked. Slide alternative pieces of vegetable and salmon onto skewers, place in a bowl, and cover with marinade of your choice, I use a lemon and coriander peri peri marinade on mine. Allow to sit in the marinade for around 30 mins (too long and the salmon would start to cook) Cook on the BBQ for about 5-10 mins turning frequently. If you don't like salmon you could just use the vegetables, and other veggies may be added/substituted

Originally Posted By Lisann22 <<<SUCCESSFULLY made garlic bread on the grill>>> All the time. I use sourdough or frenchbread. I slice it almost to the bottom but not all the way through. I apply soften butter and chopped garlic (you can buy in the jar kind) or roasted garlic (I prefer to roast and spread it) onto the bread. Make sure you get it on the tops and in between the slices. I grill butter side face down until toasty golden, then I flip over and sprinkle on fresh chopped parsley. Our other favorite thing to do is add finely shredded parmesaen and cheddar cheese to it. Just sprinkle on top and in between the slices once you've flipped it over, let the cheese melt and serve. Good stuff!

Boil/steam some thick cut potatoes (don't even need to peel them, carrots, broccoli, zucchini or any other root veggies. Then make a large aluminum foil type bowl, or use an aluminum throw away pan; wipe it down with olive oil, throw all the root vegetables in the foil/pan, take the chicken and layer it on top, pour all the lemon juice over the top, throw on some more thyme and sage, salt and pepper it up, take the cut lemons and lay them on top of the chicken. Cover with aluminum foil and let set on the grill for an hour with the lid closed. To Die For Good

Originally Posted By DAR A new concoction I just came up with. Feta/Chipotle Burgers Take some ground beef(I've also used ground pork for an alternative burger). Add some salt, pepper, a little bit of garlic powder, some chipotle seasoning and the feta cheese. Mix all together and form your patties. Grill them like you would a normal burger, longer if your using pork.

Originally Posted By Lisann22 I can't explain it. It's lemon-y but I would not consider it sour. It's just gives it a very fresh, springtime feel. I wish I had the vocabulary to describe the taste but sour is not it. Maybe the other herbs balance it.
