HRNY4ZRNY Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 As I sit here enjoying this beautiful weather, it dawns on me that today will be great to cookout. Im thinking of Steaks in Jack Daniels sauce, cold beer, deviled eggs and pickled sausages. Listening to some good music and just enjoying life. Man I can't wait for the start of the NFL season... Does anyone have any suggestions for my cookout? Any cool easy ideas? So far here are the suggestions. All to be grilled Corn, Watermelon, Pineapple, Skewers, Lamb Kabobs, Ham steak, Romaine, Asparagus, Wings, Sweet potatoes, Butterflied Shrimp. Turning into a heck of a pot luck.

HRNY4ZRNY Posted May 15, 2009 Author Share Posted May 15, 2009 For the corn Do you boil it in water first then put it on the grill, or just wrap it in tin foil or something. Sounds good... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideshow24 Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Corn is a great idea! grill it in the husk. What you using? Gas, charcoal, wood? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pez Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Grilled romaine is good too... just strip the outer leaves... cut it in half... brush with olive oil and salt and pepper it... Throw it on for a couple min each side.. very good served with a little bit of vinigrette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My father-in-law always does it. He cooks it in the husk. I think he soaks it in water for a little bit before grilling, but not long. I'm sure you kind google it, or someone here will know.

stanleys Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Seedless watermelon. Hit watermelon wedges with a little olive oil then onto a hot charcoal grill for about 30-45 seconds a side. A little salt as soon as you flip them/pull them off. Nirvana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideshow24 Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 If you wrap the corn in foil or grill it in the husk put it on before the meat cuz it will take longer. Man I'm so jealous of you right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sideshow24 Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 If you can get any,toss some hardwood chips right in with the charcoal. What a difference it makes in the taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 12th Commandment Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Cut up and marinate a boneless leg of lamb in grated onions, a little mustard, olive oil, garlic and oregano. Slap on a skewer and make you some kabobs. Would go fine with the corn and some skewers with tomatoes, onion and red pepper. Mmmmmmmm mmmm mmmm! Had it for mothers day and it was really good.

Rudechain Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 For the corn Do you boil it in water first then put it on the grill, or just wrap it in tin foil or something. Sounds good... Well I soak the corn, husk and all for a good hour in water. Then I toss them on the grill, husk and all to roast. The husk keeps them moist.

Do you peel off the husks at the end and just put the corn on the grill for a couple minutes to get the chared marks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renaissance Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 For the corn Do you boil it in water first then put it on the grill, or just wrap it in tin foil or something. Sounds good... Good corn recipe for the grill = wrap in two layers of aluminum foil with some crushed ice and butter. Potatoes are good cooked on the grill too. I think you just put some olive oil and pepper on them and wrap in aluminum foil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideshow24 Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Chicken wings tossed in a little oil and seasoning. Grill 'em crispy. Toss them in Frank's hot sauce (their hotter sauce or add plenty tabasco) or Frank's wing sauce. Ham steak. Its already cooked but sear it on the hot grate and get the fat crispy. Great with corn. Large shrimp, butterflied, shell on. Toss them in olive oil with old bay seasoning. cook meat side down for a minute or two then flip. Tastes like little lobsters when grilled right. If you get small shrimp then skewer them, shell on or off. I prefer on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sideshow24 Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Cool thanks... Do you peel off the husks at the end and just put the corn on the grill for a couple minutes to get the chared marks? Don't worry about the char marks. The corn will be great like it is. Oh and you can leave it in the husk to continue cooking/stay piping hot for a good while after you take it off the grill if you aren't ready to eat it quite yet. Careful when you peel it cuz its gonna be hot as hell! Might wanna clip the silk and any protruding leaves off. Sometimes they dry out and catch fire.
