Each grilling seasonThe traditional foods like hamburgers or hotdogs rule the day. There are other ways to spice up your grill.
“While I love the summertime grill favorites as much as the next person, anything goes on the grill these days ? from meatballs to pineapple to pancakes,” says Joan Hanson, test kitchen director for Hormel Foods. “It’s time to add some unexpected foods to your flame.”
These tips will help you expand your grilling repertoire.
* Introduce bacon to the grill. Bacon is traditionally served as a breakfast side, according to tradition. What about other meals? You don’t need to cook bacon on the stove top, or in the microwave. Bacon is becoming an unlikely ingredient that can be paired with a wide range of ingredients like ice cream, chocolate, and even alcohol. This summer, try this savory trend on the grill. This can be a delicious accompaniment to any meal.
* Think outside the (pizza) box. Pizza is sure to please everyone, especially if it’s prepared on the grill. For that crisp wood-fired taste try pizza paninis. You only need bread, pizza sauce (pepperoni slices), mozzarella cheese, and any other meat or vegetable that suits your tastes. A unique combination of barbecue chicken, pork and shredded meat, red onions, cheddar can be made. You can also make your own pizza by combining different meats, veggies and cheeses.
* Import island flavors into your home. Enjoy the South Seas and Hawaii love affair with inspired cuisine such as the teriyaki SPAMburger. It features a delicious combination SPAM and pineapple, offering island-inspired flavors.
