Post here ideas for patio cookin' with flames. From a previous thread, I think I stole someone's notion of taking some red peppers and poblanos and a jalepeno or two, blackening them on the fire, adding a bit of olive oil and salt, and popping it in the blender. Chipotle style goodness.
The pepper olive oil mixture is a great thing to add to grilled corn on the cob. Take off the top layer of husk (leaving most of the husk on), take out the hair, and rub the ear with the pepper mixture. Close the husk up, wrap it in aluminum foil and throw it on the grill for about 10 minutes turning after about 5 minutes.

Ellie and I are just about to get a place where we'll actually have a patio. So, sometime this summer, we'll get a grill! Yay!
Just had to say that. Other than that, all I can say is that lemon-pepper seasoning is fantastic on steaks.

Re: Grillin' Aide
Grilling veggies brings out all sorts of goodness in them. I love asparagus and squash grilled till just brown. Olive oil, salt, pepper.
Yeah, so that's the end of my contribution to this thread.

Kwix, try that with eggplant--deliciousness!
This is not a signature.
Re: Grillin' Aide
slice potatoes like chips, toss in some olive oil or butter, some garlic and maybe rosemary or basil if you like that sort of thing. and of course black pepper. wrap em up in foil real tight (or else your oil will burn) and grill em till they're at least soft. you can go all the way to crispy if you like. but that's pretty neat.
if i had a grill i'd grill a lot because grilled meat is the standard by which other meats judge themselves before giving up entirely.

Get a little grill, you can pick up a cheap charcoal thing for like $30.

Grilled Mango
If you've got a pitcher of margaritas going, add a pinch of red pepper seeds before you put them over the coals. When the heat meets the sweet and is quenched with salty sour.... Ahhhhh indescribable bliss.
seriously though, i think you're crazy on this. and you think i'm crazy. everybody wins! - dhex
Re: Grillin' Aide
Do you have a balcony you can put it on? In the Midwest we have these things.
We also have a local ordinance that forbids grilling within 10 feet of a building. Which we apartment dwellers ignore.

I hate to say it, but I've gone propane and won't ever go back.

I'm going to grill some venison burgers tomorrow, and wanted to see if y'all had any favorite recipe tips.

Re: Grillin' Aide
I ended up using a variation on this recipe for the venison burgers. It was achingly delicious.

Re: Grillin' Aide
It sounds yumtastic.

Re: Grillin' Aide
Crap, and I just made the last two pound package of moose I had into chili. Top that off with my deer hunting trip this coming weekend getting canceled and it'll be a while before I can try it out.
