The Thrill Inside Your Winter Grill
December 12, 2011, By Jim Higley 0 comments
Just because seasons have changed doesn't mean you have to say good-bye to your outdoor grill until the beginning of baseball season next year.
Sure, colder temperatures in parts of the country make it far less appealing to be outside enjoying a brew while flipping burgers for the family. But there are some terrific crowd-pleasers waiting for you on the grill even while Old Man Winter takes up residence in your backyard.
I like to do more grilling in aluminum foil pouches during the winter. The beauty of foil-pouch grilling is—other than an occasional flip—you can leave your food unattended while you stay nice and toasty inside.
It's good. It's tasty. And the clean-up is a breeze.
One of my favorite meals is marinated sesame seed salmon, Yukon Gold potatoes and onions, served with a side of grilled asparagus. Preparation time for all three is about 15 minutes. Total grilling time is about a half hour. It's the perfect pull-together-fast meal for any night of the week.
These recipes work great on gas or charcoal grills. The key is to do your set up in a way that allows you to place the pouches of aluminum foil over indirect heat. An inside temperature of around 400 degrees works best.
