Grilling Summer Squash and Zucchini

Sometimes I just want something that will give me some new tastes in my menus and at the same time work as a garnish to enhance my food presentation. I decided to try summer squash and zucchini, since  I see mountains ot these in the supermarkets.

First I needed to find out which ones will be the best to buy. I consulted the Bobby Flay Grill It! Cookbook, and he said to choose smaller ones, and you will have fewer seeds and less water. They are also supposed to be more flavorful. I want no pits in them and smooth skin, so I decided my best bet was to try farmers markets.

I was pleased to find that grilling really enhanced the flavor of the zucchini and the summer squash, because grilling allows the water in them to evaporate and teir texture improved. Bobby said I could cook them together, because they cook about the same, and then I had a variety of color for my plate. The turned out great and tasted great as well.

HOLIDAY SPECIAL - SLIDER PRESS

Here it is! The Weston Classic Sliderz 5 Mini Burger Press, for cooking burgers, crab cakes, sausage patties, even fried eggs. I didn't think I needed to have one, but we tried it because we thought our kids would use them for a quick and easy meal. We tried it and loved it, and each kid gets one for Christmas!

What we like to do is cook a breakfast sausage in each, set them aside, fry one egg in each section, and them pile them on the buns with cheese, bacon, tomatoes, and whatever we feel like at the time.

For a quick lunch, we can make a ball of ground meat about the size of a walnut, and press them and cook them. We always keep veggies available in the refrigerator so we can add on the spur of the moment. Then we pile these with cheeses, lettuce, tomato slices, and ENJOY!.

You can find this great gift for yourself and your friends and family on our website bestbackyardchef.com, and for the holidays we have a special price of $19.95, plus we will SHIP THEM FREE! Order now while they last!
