Grilling

With the temperatures constantly rising, the kitchen tends to be the hottest room in the house. To cut down on the heat in the kitchen, you can grill the entire meal outside! Here are a few recipes for the grill, including a snack.

4 cups Mixed Salted Nuts
1 tsp Sugar
1 tsp dried Oregano
1/2 tsp dry Mustard
1/2 tsp Cayenne Pepper
1/4 tsp Black Pepper

Toss together in a disposable foil pan. Grill over indirect heat for 10 to 12 minutes or until toasted. Stir occasionally.


Grilled Carrots

8 Carrots
3 tbsp Butter, melted
1/2 tsp coarse Salt
1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika
1/4 tsp Pepper

Boil carrots for 4-5 minutes, until tender-crisp. Drain. Toss with butter and seasonings. Grill over medium heat 4-5 minutes.


Lemon and Dill Grilled Salmon
 
4 Salmon Fillets, skin on
Salt & Pepper
1/4 cup minced fresh Dill
2 tbsp minced Parsley
1 tbsp Lemon Zest
2 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp minced Garlic

Salt and pepper fillets. Combine the remaining ingredients and spread over salmon. Grill skin side down over medium heat for 8-10 minutes until salmon begins to flake.


Toasted Flatbreads
