+GATOULIS Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Htapothi sti Skhara - Flame-Grilled Octopus In Greek: χταπόδι στη σχάρα, pronounce khtah-PO-thee stee SKHAH-rah It's a classic image that comes to mind when many think of Greece: sitting under an umbrella by the seaside, with ouzo or wine and a plate of freshly grilled octopus. It's delicious, and you can create the same atmosphere at home. Cook Time: 1 hours, 10 minutes Ingredients: 4 1/2 pounds of octopus, fresh or frozen (defrosted) olive oil to coat ----------- For the sauce: 1/2 cup of extra virgin olive oil juice of 2 lemons or vinegar (about 4 tablespoons) ----------- To garnish: crushed Greek oregano (rigani) Preparation: A note about octopus: Octopus loses a lot of its volume during cooking, so expect that the finished dish will look like quite a bit less than the original quantity. If the octopus has not been cleaned: Under running water, remove and discard the ink sac, stomach, and eyes from the large head cavity. Remove the beak, at the bottom of the head where it joins the tentacles, with a sharp knife. (Squeamish? Wear rubber gloves.) Place the whole octopus in a pot with enough boiling water to to cover generously. When it resumes boiling, cook for 10 minutes. Remove from heat, and drain. When cool enough to handle, rub the octopus with your hands under running water to remove the dark outer membrane. This comes off fairly easily, and if it doesn't all come off, that's all right. Place the octopus in the pressure cooker with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, seal, and when pressure is reached, lower the heat and cook for 10 minutes. Use quick pressure release, remove the octopus and drain. When the octopus is cool enough to handle, cut off the tentacles, and cut the head sac into 1/2 inch strips. Brush with olive oil (or brush the grill) and grill over low coals for about 45 minutes to 1 hour (test for tenderness). Just before serving, cut tentacles into 3/4 to 1 inch pieces (on a diagonal), and make the sauce: whip the oil and lemon juice or vinegar in the blender until it thickens (a few seconds). Pour over the octopus, sprinkle with oregano, and serve. Another taste: Serve grilled octopus with slices of lime. Goes great with...Ouzo!!!! Quote Link to comment

+GATOULIS Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Paithakia Skharas me Thymari: Grilled Lamb Chops with Thyme Rub In Greek: παϊδάκια σχάρας με θυμάρι, pronounced pah-ee-THAHK-yah SKAH-rahs meh thee-MAH-ree The beauty of this recipe is that it works as well for one as it does for one hundred. A simple classic Greek dish cooked in the traditional way - on the grill. For best results, use fresh thyme. Its slightly woodsy smell goes perfectly with lamb. Small or baby lamb chops are often sold as a "rack of lamb." Ask your butcher to cut it in 1/2 inch chops, not one rib to a chop (although for baby lamb, it may work out to one rib/chop). Cook Time: 10 minutes Ingredients: 2-4 (or more) lamb chops per person, 1/2 inch thick (depending on the size of the chops and the size of appetites) several stems of fresh thyme olive oil sea salt Preparation: Rinse the chops to remove any debris and pat dry. Rub the thyme in your hands. Several of the small leaves will stick. Pour 1/4 teaspoon of Greek olive oil into one palm and rub hands together. Rub the lamb chops on both sides and around the edges to coat (very lightly) with the rub. Continue until all chops are coated, repeating the thyme-olive oil combination in the palms as needed. Sprinkle with sea salt, and grill. To prepare ahead of time: Cover chops with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Do not let them marinate for more than an hour. Baby lamb chops are already very tender and marinating for longer will soften the meat too much. Grill over high heat to crisp on the outer edges for a few minutes on each side. Cook to taste. Baby lamb chops will cook quickly and can be eaten from medium-rare to well-done. Grilled lamb chops are traditionally eaten with a squeeze or three of lemon juice, so serve with lemon wedges on the side. Quote Link to comment
+GATOULIS Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Biftekia Skharas: Grilled Hamburgers In Greek: μπιφτέκια σχάρας, pronounced beef-TEK-yah SKHAH-rahs This is a traditional recipe for hamburgers to cook on the grill or under the broiler in the oven. If you like onions, add 1 medium finely minced onion to the mix. Prep Time: 10 minutes Ingredients: 1 1/2 pounds of ground beef 4 tablespoons of toasted breadcrumbs 1/2 cup of chopped parsley 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh Greek oregano (rigani) or 1 teaspoon of dried 2 eggs olive oil 1 teaspoon of sea salt 1/4 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper to taste lemon wedges (for garnish) Preparation: In a large bowl, add all ingredients except olive oil, and knead to a well blended mixture. Add olive oil as needed to moisten. Form into hamburger patties. When ready to cook, brush grate with oil and place patties on hot grate. Cook until done to taste. Yield: 4-6 burgers Quote Link to comment

+Nochipra Posted June 8, 2008 Author Share Posted June 8, 2008 Wow! So many recipes in so little a time? I guess I'm going to have to end this a little quicker than I planned? Ok, the deadline is Sunday June 8 at midnight. Keep on posting but please try to post something you have really cooked or at least tried to cook. It looks like we have some real grill chef's around here. They all look so good! Hey Gatoulis, Chip and I went to the Harborfest festival today in Norfolk, Va. It's a big festival they have around here every year out near the water. Every year they have this stand that serves gyros and I have to get at least one or two when I go. The people who run it are greek. The meat they use is a combo of lamb and beef on nice thick warm pita bread (or more like flat bread here in the U.S.) and they put lettuce, tomatoe, and a delicious type of cucumber sauce on it. They are out of this world!!! I was curious though? Is the meat they use in Greece all lamb or is it a combo of lamb and beef? Whatever it is it is very delicious! I also had to have a fried snickers bar for desert! Boy do I love festival food! Quote Link to comment

I also had to have a fried snickers bar for desert! Boy do I love festival food! Hello my dear friends! So, you ate Greek food!!! Here, Gyros os made of pork or chicken! Chicken is mostly if you are on a diet... We do not put lettuse! We usually put tomatoes, onions, and sometimes, fried potatoes! Of course, we put the cucumber sauce, that we call tzatziki! It is made yoghurt, smashed garlic, thin pieces like sticks of cucumber, olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper! You mixed them very good with a spoon, and...here it is!!! The souse must not be liquid!!! try it! I am sure you will like it! It goes really good with any barbeque meat!! If you want the tzatziki to be "strong" put more garlic!! You may find Cyprus pita as well! This is different from our pita! It is bigger, thicker, and they are cuting the pie in the middle and stuff the inside part with that same things! :-) We also have souvlaki, pork usually, in wooden sticks! you can eat it in pita, or alone, with a small piece of bread! You may find lamp meat in gyros, in places with muslims, or if the owners are muslims! That is because they do not eat pork meat! In Turkey, I think it is like that! It is famous in this too! I have to say that some people put in souvlaki parsley too, and some othres, put in gyros & souvlaki an extra sause, made or ketsup and mayonese.... It is all a matter of taste! Oh! I almost forgot!! You may find a kind of local food called Kebab with pita. That's minced meat of lamb and goat meat mixed together with galic, onion, salt and peper, (sometimes we put some red wine, just for the taste) and it has the shape of a sausage. We grill it and when it is ready we put it in the pita, of course with tomate, onions and parcely! The funny thing is that all these kind of foods, were created as a kind of fast food and cheap food!! If you were on road and you were hungry, if you couldn't affort a "real" meal, gyros and souvlaki were the best!! Now, The "poor man's food", is the most famous food of Greece!!!

We love tzatziki with grilled foods! Actually, with ANY spicy food where you need something to kind of bring the heat down a little bit . It's a very fresh, cool flavor! I posted a simple recipe for it here: http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php...t&p=3506261 It's not got the olive oil and vinegar in it, it truly is a simple recipe, but it's VERY good and VERY addicting Naomi Quote Link to comment
+mudsneaker Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Beer Can Chicken This chicken is the juiciest, most mouthwatering bird you'll ever try. I also like the aspect of theater when you cook it, because it looks so damned weird on the grill. This bird is simply deeee-licious! The beer inside the cavity steams the chicken from the inside, keeping it moist and juicy, while the dry heat of the grill forms a nice crisp skin. Once you've cooked a chicken with this method, you'll never want to do it any other way! 1 whole chicken 1 can o' beer olive oil 4 cloves garlic crushed salt and black pepper your favorite beer (for marinating the chef!) seasoning for chicken (or use a seasoning blend of your own favorites): 4 cloves garlic, crushed fresh basil a pinch of cayenne salt and pepper Start with a hot grill (coals all white and ready to cook). Drink about 1/4 of that can of beer. Set it aside 3/4 full and have a couple of full ones, real beer this time—no sissy canned stuff. Get the chicken ready for cookin'. Trim some of the fat, get rid of the giblets (here kitty kitty!). Rub liberally with your favorite meat rub. I prefer olive oil, basil, lots of fresh pressed garlic, salt, and a pinch of cayenne. Some folks like Zartarain's or some such store bought concoction, but whatever. Get a can opener or some such tool and open up the top of the can and drop in the crushed garlic. Oil up the can and lower that chicken over top of it. The beer can goes into the chicken's body cavity and allows the bird to stand upright. Cover your grill and cook the chicken until its wings are loose and the skin turns clear. Grilling times vary pretty dramatically—from 45 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the size of your bird and the heat of your coals. Use a meat thermometer to check for a breast (not touching the bone) temperature of 160°. This is terrific with garlic and potatoes or roasted corn. Tips: I have used lemon, garlic, rosemary, and plenty of black pepper under the skin to season our chicken, then rubbed it with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then secured the loose flaps at the bottom of the breast with a few toothpicks. Other things I have tryed that worked well was pouring Jamaica Mistake marinade inside the skin prior to cooking. Using a meat injector to add flavor near the bone when there wasn't time to let the bird marinate for severa hours. And theres reports from friends that using other cans of liquids such as Root Beer and Lemonaid instead of beer works just as well. Quote Link to comment

And to stay on topic...Open pack, place dogs on grill, rotate when turning black and bubbling, remove and place in bun of equal size. Quote Link to comment
+Trucker Lee Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Take a big slab of meaty beef ribs, sprinkle with pepper, garlic powder, and rosemary. Then, rub down with virgin olive oil and place in hot smoker. Be sure to keep temp between 250 and 300 degrees F, and the water pan full. I use charcoal briquets and fresh mesquite myself, but the wood preference is all yours. Quote Link to comment
Arf2-D2 Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Grilled Sweet Potato Coins BBQ Recipe Blanching is the secret here: It locks in flavour and colour for exceptionally flavourful sweet potatoes. 1 quart salted water 2 small sweet potatoes (about 1 pound total) Ice water 1/4 cup vegetable oil 1 teaspoon salt In a 2-quart saucepan bring salted water to a boil. Peel and slice sweet potatoes into 1/4- to 1/2-inch thick disks. Add disks to boiling water; blanch for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove sweet potatoes from water and plunge into a bowl of ice water to chill. Remove from water, dry, and place in bowl or large plastic bag. Pour oil over sweet potatoes; toss to coat. Place sweet potatoes in centre of cooking grate. Grill 4 to 6 minutes, turning once during cooking time. Remove sweet potatoes from grill; sprinkle with salt. Makes 4 servings. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Quote Link to comment
Arf2-D2 Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 I guess I should have actually added a recipe with that. Sorry. I'm not much of a cook (in the kitchen or out) I have done a smoked turkey on the grill though. Here's how my dad taught me to do it Basically, 1. Soak wood chips overnight 2. start coals 3. push coals to the side and add a pan in the middle to catch the drippings 4. oil or butter the turkey 5. add spices of choice (garlic, basil, hawaiian salt, whatever) 6. add wood chips to coals 7.Put turkey over pan and cover 8. Go out every 30-45 minutes to add coals and wood chips cook for about 8 hours Quote Link to comment

+gardengorilla Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Here is my recipe for my favorite grilled ribs: Chili Rubbed Ribs 5 lbs. pork side ribs, precooked (Always pre cook ribs or they will burn before becoming tender). Do this by cutting into portion sized slabs, throw in a boiling pot of water for 45 min or until tender) Whisk together: 1/4 cup ketchup 2 tbsp veg. oil 2 tbsp. Worchestershire sauce 6 crushed garlic cloves 2 tbsp. chili powder ( I put more) 1 tbsp. brown sugar 2 tsp. ground cumin Oil and preheat grill. Barbeque ribs for 5 min per side, then generously brush sauce over both sides of ribs. Continue barbequing until ribs are glazed, about 3-4 minutes per side. Gotta serve it with grilled corn on the cob Quote Link to comment

I asked again my mother, and she is not puting fresh one, but the dried! Fresh one is a little bitter, so... she puts only dried oreganon, 1 teaspoon, or 1.5! The good thing is that you can make many varietes in food! If you do not like something you can put something else, just leave it out.... Personaly, I love the Grilled Hamburgers (#58), when they are hot to put a leaf of cheese on the top! I am talking about the yellow cheese that melts... I hope you will try tzatziki too!

+The-Wolf-Pack Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 This one is so yummy we love it Beer Can Chicken BBQ Recipe For the rub: 1 teaspoon dry mustard 1 teaspoon granulated onion 1 teaspoon paprika 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 whole chicken, 4 to 5 pounds 2 teaspoons vegetable oil 1 can (16 ounces) beer (tall boy) To make the rub: In a small bowl combine the rub ingredients. Remove and discard the neck, giblets, and any excess fat from the chicken. Rinse the chicken, inside and out, under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Lightly spray or brush all over with the vegetable oil and season, inside and out, with the rub. Open the beer can and pour off half of the beer. Set the half-full can on a flat surface and slide the chicken over the top so the can fits inside the cavity. Transfer the bird to the grill, keeping the can upright. Carefully balance the bird on its two legs and the can. Grill over Indirect Medium heat until the juices run clear and the internal temperature reaches 170°F in the breast and 180°F in the thickest part of the thigh, 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours. Wearing barbecue mitts, carefully remove the chicken and the can from the grill, being careful not to spill the beer – it will be hot. Let the chicken rest for about 10 minutes before lifting it from the can. Discard the beer. Cut the chicken into serving pieces. Serve warm. Makes 4 to 6 servings. Quote Link to comment
