What do you like to grill?

[Deleted]

In regards to pizza, I use a pizza stone, but before I got one, I would just stick with frozen or prepared crusts and cook directly on the grill so that they wouldn't fall through the grates LOL

We’ve tried this. Do not recommend. I don’t know how people do it without a griddle!

I've never had a problem with it going through the grill. I put olive oil on the dough before I put it on the grill so that it doesn't stick.

Same, we oil the pizza dough before putting it on. We lightly grill one side, turn it over, put the toppings on, then grill it again on the non-pre-grilled side. Works fabulously (have to turn the temp up as high as you can if using gas or get it as hot as possible with wood/charcoal).

Last night I made jerk pork with pork tenderloin (served with a pineapple soy dipping sauce). It was soooo good. Tonight I’m doing chicken skewers with za’atar seasoning and garlic with homemade tzatziki. I grill whole marinaded chicken breasts and them peppers snd onions in a basket for fajitas. Steak (fillet/skirt/skewers).

In the summer I try to grill... everything. Other things we've done not mentioned here is pizza. We make the dough single serving/smaller so it's easier to handled. Grill the dough for a bit, flip, top, and finish off.

That's how we do grilled pizza. Roll out the dough, oil the grill grate, and throw the dough on the grill for a few minutes. Flip it, cook for a few more minutes. Then take it off and put the toppings on and put it back on the grill to melt the cheese.

I've never grilled pizza, but are they doing it with fresh dough?

I cook frozen pizza right on the oven rack so that would work on the grill.

Salmon with some soy sauce or Man smith's seasoning
Halibut w/ olive oil and salt
Asparagus w/ some olive oil, garlic and hot pepper flakes
Carne asada & quesadillas and jalapeños
Scallops
Shrimp
Tofu souvlaki
Korean short ribs
Any vegetable (we put them in a basket)

[InBetweenDays]

In addition to the staples we often grill cedar plank salmon and crab cakes. We have a grill basket that we use for veggies (asparagus, broccoli, brussels sprouts) and baby new potatoes.

We do it with fresh homemade dough without any issues.

Interesting!

It always fell through the grates on our old grill!

We also grill as much as possible in the summer.

Grilled pizza is a favorite:
I use fresh dough, but make four small pizzas, instead of one large.
When one side is cooked, we pull it off to add toppings to the cooked side, then put it back on.  We found it would char too much is left on the grill.  

Buttermilk brined porkchops (currently I eyeball the ingredients, but this is the original recipe): 
2 cups buttermilk

2 tablespoons kosher salt

2 tablespoons sugar

1 tablespoon lemon zest

1 spring fresh rosemary

1 spring fresh sage

2 teaspoons ground pepper

4 thin cut, bone-in pork chops



Combine first 7 ingredients (I throw in the lemon in with the juice) and mix to dissolve salt and sugar. Add pork chops. Refrigerate overnight, turning bag occasionally.

Remove from brine and grill. We shake off excess marinade, but don't dry it. Cook until desired degree of doneness.

This is my favorite way to have pork chops. The brine also works well on chicken thighs.


We eat beef burgers often, but these are also delicious: www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/rachael-ray/chorizo-sliders-recipe-1923857

This is also really good: www.foodandwine.com/recipes/chopped-lamb-steak-garlicky-spinach
Sometimes we will grill bread and spread on goat cheese with other meals.

Halloumi skewers are delicious brushed with olive oil, lemon and garlic.

Smoked sausage (we like hillshire farms) grilled and then right at the end brush on a little apricot-pineapple preserves. The sugar in the preserves carmelizes and is soooo good!

We do grilled pizza weekly during the summer. Either straight on the grill or use a pizza stone.

Grilled green tomatoes are fantastic.

Did you have the heat cranked as high as it will go? I think that's part of the trick. It's gotta be really hot so the dough cooks quickly and sets up before it can settle. Pizza dough really shouldn't be so loose that it's slipping through the grate though. Let me know if you want the recipe I use.

It was a charcoal grill, so maybe that's the issue! Yes, send the recipe this way!

That makes sense. I wonder if a charcoal grill can really get hot enough for that.

Bobby Flay is a tool, but this dough recipe is solid. I make a triple batch of it and then freeze it in pre-portioned balls after the rise.

RoxMonster - We do ours in smaller individual sizes. This makes it easier to flip too! High heat helps the dough stiffen up faster, and you don't want to roll it super thin either. I roll it out and put a bit of oil on it, and make sure the grates are oiled as well. Someone else mentioned a cast iron, and that works well too!

Bone-in pork chops, ribs, chicken thighs, burgers, steaks, cremini mushrooms, yellow onions.

We are planning on getting planks and trying salmon on the grill.
