Let the Grilling Begin!

Sharing is caring!

Memorial Day is right around the corner, here’s a few tasty ideas you might want to try.
First up, Chicken Flavored with a Mustard and Herb Paste.
Place 1 1/2 cups of loosely packed herbs of your choice into a food processor, I used parsley, basil, rosemary and thyme. Add 3 cloves of garlic, the zest of a lemon, salt and pepper then process to a fine chop. Add the juice of one lemon, a healthy glop of dijon mustard then drizzle in some olive oil until you get a thick paste consistency.
Now rub it all over your chicken, under and over the skin and let it sit for a few, then it’s time for the grill!
The end result is chicken flavored to the max!
When the chicken is done and resting you can make these Garlic Grilled Tomatoes, a recipe adapted from Steven Raichlen the BBQ king.
Cut your tomatoes in half crosswise, season with salt and pepper.
In a small frying pan add crushed garlic, olive oil and fresh thyme, cook til golden, take off the heat and add in grated parmesan cheese. Place your tomato halves cut side down on and oiled grill until you get grill marks, then turn them over with tongs and spoon the garlic cheese mixture on top and continue cooking.
This is a wonderful side for anything you might be putting on your grill.
You might also want to plan ahead and grill up some eggplant.
Then pair it with a caprese salad for another side or appetizer. Oh, this is so good!
Then finally, you have to have dessert! My go to, no brainer, quick dessert is a scoop of
 vanilla ice cream drenched with Amaretto and topped with chopped almonds, so simple and a hit every time!
Or you just might be in the mood for Limoncello drenched ice cream… To die for!
Enjoy your weekend!

  1. wooooowwwww!

  2. The Garlic Grilled Tomatoes can be roasted in the oven any time of year –just prepare the same way and place them on a cookie sheet and bake SLOW, 275-degrees for four hours (don’t let them get brown). Freeze what you don’t eat and use them in any recipe calling for tomatoes.

  3. These recipes look amazing. made my mouth water. Want to get te grill out now but it’s dark out!!

  4. Love this idea–great way to add flavor without adding a lot of anything else!

    Thanks for the great recipe!

I’m featuring this post as part of the Friday roundup (with a link-back and attribution) and I hope you have no objections. It’s a pleasure following your creations…

  17. Is there anything that doesn’t taste incredible grilled?
    Just cleaned our barbecue inside and out. Yes, indeed, let the grilling begin!

  18. Love grilling – we do it all year round. The tomatoes are a perfect side. And I love the simple desserts. I have a grappa whipped cream recipe that I use all the time, with just berries or roasted fruit.

    Do you have much issue with flare ups on the grill when you use oil in the rub/paste? I often leave this out to avoid it.

  19. Each and every photo makes me look forward to preparing your recipes.

  20. I’m going to have to plan another trip to Chicago and this time it will be when you’re grilling. Could you have that amaretto and ice cream waiting for me too?

  21. I’m a huge fan of Steve Raichlen and use his books to improve our grilling. This chicken looks out of this world…and those tomatoes! AS for the dessert, I love Amaretto. LOVE it! Great recipes, Marie. If you ever come to California… I’ll buy the ingredients, and you grill for us! K?
