what do you grill?

When I am feeling uninspired I splurge and buy pre-marinated chicken, beef, etc, from Whole Foods. Right now we are really into the Jamaican spice chicken wings they sell (~$8 for 2 lb).

Will have to try grilling broccoli as a PP suggested! Ditto the peaches. Yum.

My MIL grills pizza.

Rollout dough, grill one side, flip and put sauce, cheese and toppings.

i want to hear more about the grilled broccoli--how to

i started grilling romaine lettuce. just cut the whole head in half lengthwise. a little olive oil and salt. grill each face a few mintutes. the outer leaves wilt and the middle stays crunchy. do the same with boy choy. just have to wash all the sand out, first.

Quick question- what kind of grill is everyone using gas or charcoal? Im going to start grilling based on the recipes provided by pps but dont have a grill so I need to buy one.

Charcoal Grill

- Steak - use McCormick's Montreal Steak Seasoning

- BBQ chicken - we boil first for 20 minutes - speeds it up big time

- Chirozo Sausage (Argentina) - purchased at Latin Market by pimmit

Charcoal gives more flavor and is considered more authentic by "real" outdoor cooks. Gas is a hell of a lot more convenient, more temp control, and easier cleanup. But it won't give you smoke flavor unless you add a packet of wood chips to add some smoke.
If you use a charcoal grill, use lump hardwood. Much better smoke flavor. Briquettes have god-knows-what-chemicals in them. Do you really want your food cooked in a cloud of that stuff?
Same for lighter fluid--don't use it. Get a charcoal chimney instead. Super easy and will have your hardwood ready to cook with in just a few minutes.

If you've never grilled with charcoal before, pick up a book or google an article by Steve Raichlen. He's really good at explaining it for beginners and has a lot of great recipes.
(Beer can chicken ... mmmm ....)
