George Foreman Grill Recipes plus health tips

There is more method to my madness than speedy easy cooking-I SIMPLY LOVE MY GEORGE FOREMAN GRILL because of its speed and easy clean up. Lately I realized if you have a recreational vehicle or friends who have an RV, what a great idea to get a big George to use to cook so many foods and throw most of the pots and pans and oven away. Although the presentation of the food might not compete with the best restaurants unless you really get creative, your ingenuity if it knows no bounds might free you from limited space.

Now after searching for alternatives to keep my schnauzer who was diagnosed with bone cancer in Nov 1999 alive, I am realizing the great health benefits the grill also provides! A lot of us might be careless about our health. Now taking care of my animals is beginning to rub off on me-When you read the following quote from the AICR site, it would suggest that the George Foreman Grill eliminates some of the potential dangers.
"Guideline 6: Prepare and store food safely.
Cooking meat, poultry and fish at high temperatures, especially over an open flame, causes cancer-promoting substances called heterocyclic amines (HCAs) to form on the surface of the meats.
In addition, when fat drips into the fire, the smoke and flames that rise up onto the food leave behind carcinogenic substances called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). A diet high in meat cooked by grilling, barbecuing, broiling or pan frying possibly increases the risk of stomach, colon and rectal cancers."

Garlic,tumeric,cumin,flaxseed,tomato paste,cayenne pepper,olive oil,flaxseed,cilantro and ginger are some easy ways of helping your immune system. On the left of page I will be adding more fast tips-ie watercress great source of calcium-importance of boron-etc-I am bringing in Indian recipes since a lot of the spices in Indian food might have anti tumor properties-tumeric,cumin etc-The George Foreman Grill can make for healthier food-besides its being so speedy because it cooks on both sides,turns off by itself when gets to a certain temperature-it drains off fat-it is hard to burn food-etc.

-I have found that the time varies for cooking so every few minutes I check to see if the food is done-I also cook "in layers"-ie if I am using garlic or ginger for instance-cook those first-if I am adding cheese-I wait until whatever I am cooking is almost done and then add the cheese unless I am putting it inside the mixture-if you make chicken or veal parmesan for instance,you might want to heat the tomato sauce separately on the stove first. If you are using bread, you might first want to toast the bread on the grill so it doesn't get soggy.

Cheese graters from Amazon.com
Remember after removing the food, you can easily clean the grill by first unplugging it and putting in some damp paper towels and then close it. I also sometimes use a soft tooth brush on it. So far the finish has lasted.
Georging those leftovers can make them more delicious when they were first served.
Reuben Sandwich-rye bread, swiss cheese, sauerkraut and thousand island dressing-so easy on the grill..just the bread part is a bit tricky. You may first use open sandwich and put the corn beef on and grill for a few minutes..then remove the corn beef on another slice of bread to cook for a couple of minutes..then add the cheese and corn beef and grill as a covered sandwich until done the way you want it. I like the dressing put on after cooked.
You can make stuffed cabbage on the grill..flatter version..by cooking cabbage first-at first be careful ..I put a white paper towel over the leaves first couple of minutes to get it to steam..then add already cooked rice with raisons or whatever with butter and then cook a few more minutes..not as good as other ways since flavor isn't cooked in
You can substitute chicken for the turkey-even ham or shrimp.
Simplest idea is to take whatever jam or jelly you have in the refrigerator and use it on the poultry. (Many of us have probably used Saucy Susan already). If the slices are thin, you can just put it in between slices and georgeit! You can improvise even more and mix it with mayonaisse and then coat the leftovers. Yes you don't have to use leftovers.
turkey with lemon garlic
marinate leftover turkey in lemon and oil olive and garlic cloves for a few hours-then george it! Decide on your own proportions according to how much you like lemon and garlic taste.
turkey with mustard honey glaze-marinate the turkey slices in honey with some added mustard(you can even use the mustard out of a jar)(ratio is probably about 2 honey to one mustard-ie double amount of honey..then grill it..but when you are finished unplug and put a wet towel on the grill..honey can make a mess
turkey with orange marmalade-add orange juice, a teaspoon of mustard and a garlic clove and marinate the turkey in that for a few hours..then grill it
turkey-
dice up some left over turkey and then if you have left over stuffing, mix it in. You can add potatoes mashed but then add more butter. I also like to add celery which has been diced and nuts-pecans, walnuts, filberts, whatever. I don't understand why, but mayonaisse makes it even more tasty, but you can add leftover gravy for moisture or butter-form flat patties and grill..
turkey-slices of turkey with ham and cheese inbetween come out great.
sliced turkey and use leftover cranberry relish .if you want you can dip the turkey slices into an eggbatter with bread crumbs..beware if the turkey is already dried out for these recipes..it is best to use the turkey fresh out of refrigerator or else freeze for a while to help get moisture in...
sweet potato leftovers-again can be made into patties..if you made candied carrots you can add that to the mix..again I like to add nuts for crunch and taste..for a different variation, you can puree canned peaches or apples(cooked or sliced thin) and throw in fruit jam for sweetness and more moisture-or you could add honey or a few tablespoons of brown sugar
cranberry leftovers-you can buy the ready made biscuit in refrigerator department or use bisquick and then make flattish biscuits..again I add nuts..
<
leftover potatoes-mash them up and throw in your favorite cheese or whatever cheese you have..mushrooms and things like corn or broccoli or if you like garlic...I usually add some dabs of butter on both sides and then george them! Many of us have different size grills and newer and older models..Again, I wait until the grill is hot and then start grilling and peeking to see when the food is ready..Most of these suggestions cook fast.
Left over wild rice-again make it into a patty but throw on a lot of butter-wild rice with sauteed onions and mushrooms just can't be beat
Brown rice, potato meat patties-there is growing evidence that brown rice has anti cancer properties..making patties on the grill is so easy. First cook the brown rice and potatoes. The ratios are about 3 to one for rice to potatoes and the amount of meat depends on if you just want the flavor of the meat or want a meat rice patty. Cook hamburg or lamb lightly on the grill.Mix the meat with the potato rice mixture and add your favorite seasoning..ie tumeric, garlic, parlsey.you can even throw in raisins if lamb or nuts..then grill.
If you are not allergic to peanut butter-try grilling a peanut butter sandwich(if you do wait a few minutes before you eat it-the oils can get hot-it is high in arginine-(becare if you have breast cancer)-it is high in folate-(helps to prevent a certain birth defect-if you want you can mash up some bananas(a friend said that was one of Elvis's favorites) and put that in also-chose the peanut butter wisely-supposedly even birds avoid rapeseed-look on label and avoid hydrogenized oils..pretty certain Smucker's is still all natural.interesting chocolate is also high in arginine and a truly wicked sandwich would be peanut butter with a piece of chocolate or marshmellows-or healthier peanut butter with honey .or you can even make your own peanut butter in a food processor-ie peanuts and some oil-interesting tidbit..just read that peanut oil is a great cooking oil because it can reach the highest temperature without smoking-(The article was in New York Times Magazine section saying how deep fried foods don't have to be fattening if you cook the foods at 375 and take them out as soon as you hear the hissing stop-once the hissing stops, the oil can go into the food..the article also said to be sure to drain the food..and reuse the oil until the oil starts smoking-then start with a new batch-
biscuits in the refrigerator department of supermarket..so many amazing uses for the grill..you can make mini pizzas-put precooked pepperoni,proscuitto or whatever or mushrooms in them and then grill them...heat tomato sauce,then put some cheese and regrill and then serve with tomato sauce..(I flatten them to make them thin)..you can put whatever feeling into them, applesauce, cinammon,or parboil apples or whatever fruit..serve with whip cream or whatever
a really speedy recipe is to take clean scallops,shrimp,canned tuna,clams, or salmon for instance-fill a plastic bag with bread crumbs-seasoned with your favorites-parsley,garlic,chopped celery,chopped onions,grated cheese if you want-whatever combinations you like,-put the fish in plastic bag to coat it-if you wish you can beat an egg or two depending on the amount of fish you will be using-add the egg batter to the plastic bag before you add the fish-then just georgeit on the preheated hot grill-I use either butter or mayonaisse on top-while it is grilling, the butter for instance makes it delicious and crispy-of you want to add sherry or wine you might either first marinate the shrimp or scallops first in the liquid-or else which I have done-you can pour a bit on the fish when it is on the grill-
SHELL COOKING-again let your imagination go-this one takes more time-bake some potatoes-scoop out the contents carefully-mix the potatoes with mushrooms,butter,milk and whatever you like in potatoes-brush the skins with butter or olive oil-restuff the potatoes-flatten it and then George it!-an easier solution-buy some delicious rolls-take out the bread and leave the shell of the rolls-then stuff the rolls with mashed potatoes,spinach and potatoes,broccoli and potatoes or whatever and George it!
probably a healthier mixture would be olive oil,lemon,pressed garlic and pepper-squeeze lemon juice on the fish before you George it-then after it is grilled-more lemon-I substitute shallots for onions when I have them-

Chicken Salsa-use salsa sauce as the seasoning for chicken and grill it...
Chicken Parmesan-dip chicken in beaten egg and then coat it with Parmesan cheese...delicious

Lemon Sauce for Fish

1/4 cup lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
< 1 cup chicken stock
1 teaspoon grated root ginger
1 1/2 tablespoon brown sugar-
2 tablespoons flour
add all ingredients to a pan and boil-watching constantly until it thickens-use after fish is grilled..
i millet patties and the grill-1/3 of the world eats millet-gluten free-high in proteins for a grain and vitamins-also supposedly soothing for the stomach-i soaked it in cold water for 10 minutes to help reduce cooking time-but still had to boil it for about 25 minutes-then minced some garlic and ginger and sauteed that with a little olive oil on the grill-then threw on some fresh spinach, celery, peppers and onions-for a about three or four minutes-then mixed in the millet-next time i am going to add chopped nuts-millet is bland-if you want to try to loose weight-you might want to start eating millet three times a day-make a big pot and when it is almost cooked-throw in celery and onions-let them steam-I add olive oil,garlic and lemon-and then sprinkle some Celtic salt on it-at least in my experience-acidity in the stomach creates a need to eat-millet appears to neutralize the acidity and cuts down the urge to eat
not as speedy but broccoli patties-since fiber vegetables take longer on grill-I first steam the broccoli for a few minutes- if I am not lazy-I then chop it in food processor-otherwise just chop it into smaller pieces in the pan-(flatter cooks faster on the grill and prevents worry re charring)Put some olive oil on grill and heat some garlic cloves-then while grill getting hot-throw in an egg or two to the broccoli-add some soy sauce-then throw in bread crumbs-and then make flattish patties-put the patties on the grill-squeeze lemon and put butter on top-and grill the patties until they are crisp-you can substitute zucchini or whatever vegetable you like-I check every few minutes until the breadcrumbs look crispy
My friend from Alaska M.P sent me this one..

.
Eggplant-high in potassium-low in calories-good for fiber-supposedly shiny skin is the freshest-I slice it-brush with olive oil-(I sometimes just soak some garlic cloves in the olive oil)-if you want you can also bread it-ie breadcrumbs with an egg to hold it together(I use whole eggs although you can use egg white beaten--grill it for a few minutes-then you can add cheese-mozarella or fontina or you can even use tofu mozarella-if you want you can throw on tomato sauce or else cook the tomato sauce separately and pour it over the grilled eggplant-or you can just use the eggplant with cheese and throw on some basil leaves and red peppers or whatever and make a sandwich
Vegetables grilled with honey sauce-you can use cooked little potatoes,sliced zucchini,peppers,onions,carrots,-mince a garlic clove, add 1/4 cup of honey and a few tablespoons of dry white wine or sherry,salt and pepper- add the vegetables to the mixture and grill-if you have a favorite herb you can add that also..tailor it to your own taste-(be sure to do a fast clean up afterwards with a wet paper towel..
grill your favorite vegetables-again I usually first put some olive oil on grill-then grill some garlic cloves-next add the vegetables that take the longest-use mushrooms,onions,peppers,zucchini-boil some sphagetti-and you can use the grilled vegetables as topping-add some grated cheese on top-(I also add butter-you have a primavera pasta-
makes bacon healthier-cook bacon first-make sure grill hot-then put some butter if you don't care about calories on two slices of bread-put some cheese in and tomato slice and the bacon-what a sandwich-
use Italian bread-proscuitto,fresh basil and tomatoes and cheese..
beat up an egg,dip Italian bread or whatever you have put butter on outside..and cheese and ham or whatever meat inside and George it!
Apricot-Ginger Sauce
2 tablespoons apricot juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger
4 cups diced apricots
1 tablespoon lemon juice-or lime juice
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon minced candied ginger
great with chicken strips, pork strips or shrimp etc...you can use mixture of apricots peaches, pears or your favorite fruit...if you use kiwi ..don't add the lemon or lime juice...

Hot Peanut Sauce for beef strips or chicken strips or shrimp
2 tablespoons chunky peanut butter
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 tablespoon ginger root, grated 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
2 red hot chili peppers, chopped
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1/3 cup water
double or triple the recipe for more sauce and more hot chilis to make it as hot as you want or less chili peppers..experiment...til you find the right taste for you..remember grilled bananas and shrimp are simple awesome...you can also add ingredients such as coriander..lime or lemon juice or stock instead of plain water...did you know that hot chilis and cayenne pepper release endomorphins..the same hormones that are released and which make you feel so good after intense exercise...

you know you can grill fruit on the George Foreman Grill--
buy green bananas-grill them until skin turns black-then remove peels and sprinkle with nuts,whip cream,sour cream,ricotta cheese or creme fraiche or just powdered confectionary sugar

grilled fruit on bought pound cake,angel cake or whatever-

slice the fruit-ie peaches,nectarines,plums,apples
grill them for a few minutes
make a glaze with a few teaspoons of powdered sugar,some lemon zest and lemon juice-might add cinamon if you use apples
baste the fruit and grill for a few more minutes
grill the cake
serve with berries on top and added touch of powdered sugar-whip cream too if you want
pineapple-fresh or canned-sliced-brush on rum,butter,a bit of brown sugar
apples-again slice -brown sugar,cinnamon,and butter-or experiment-try some maple syrup instead of brown sugar
oranges-butter-usually oranges sweet enough to not need extra sugar-
even peaches,apricots or strawberries-you might just want to add some butter to grill them

grilled tofu-buy extra firm, drain it first and then leave it for a couple of hours-then marinade it in your favorite marinade for at least an hour-some marinade it and then put in plastic bag and freeze it and then later thaw it-put some olive oil on the grill-there you go
croutons-better than buying ready made with all the preservatives besides the high cost for stale bread!- cut bread-preferably a baguette-sliced thin-great also for dips-or traditional -french or Italian into 1 inch cubes-mix if you like cheese-if you don't like cheese skip it-about 1/4 grated cheese-Parmesan etc-3/4 cup melted butter,1 crushed clove of garlic-I always like cayenne pepper-add a bit of salt-then pour the mixture over the dry cubes and grill
I do make garlic bread on the grill-heat the grill-chop up fresh garlic and grill it for a few minutes-again I use olive oil -then I put sliced Italian bread on hot grill-I also add butter dabs:-(- to be really wicked-sprinkle Parmesan cheese or melt some Mozarella,brie or whatever
Eggs-yes I have made scrambled eggs on the grill-I cheat-I prop up the grill so it doesn't slope-hopefully that is alright-yes I have made frittatas-beat the eggs-heat the grill- add olive oil and first cook what the ingredients of the frittata would be-ie artichokes,mushrooms,and swiss cheese;tomato,ham or procuitto,basil,and mozarella;julienned zucchini,tomatoes,peppers,cheese,onions,garlic;-then I slowly pour the beaten eggs(I add a bit of milk to the egg batter-but you can use water- on the mixture with the grill propped up-grill for a few minutes until it looks as if the eggs are done

Hamburgs with oatmeal filler-since I have read how great oatmeal is for lowering bad cholestrol and since I have read how it helps detox the body-I started mixing 1 part oatmeal to three parts hamburg-then I add seasoning-tomato paste,garlic,sometimes diced potatoes,sometimes diced onions etc and then grill it
drop cookies..the grill cooks them up so quickly-either buy the ready made dough or else take your favorite recipes and instead of baking them, just George them! (ps I use the grill a lot because I also don't usually have to worry about watching it-it usually shuts off..
after reading that ginger is great for nausea-motion sickness(great to take on a trip if you little ones get carsick) and black strap molasses is high in calcium(great if you are afraid of bone loss), I decided to try to make ginger snap cookies on the grill. I took black strap molasses..almost 1/4 cup, egg, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 1 1/2 of flour, cinnamon,ginger,cloves, and all spice plus 1/4 stick of butter.. put the butter and sugar in food processor(or just mix it by hand, then add the egg and spices and then the flour..dropped the batter on the hot foreman grill from start to finish-maybe 12 minutes-you may also want to add raisins and nuts-both high in boron and again possibly great for bone loss,arthritis, and maybe even tooth health.
the other day I made a messy looking pumpkin pastry using some sheets of Apollo Phyllo Dough-i used butter,organic pumpkin filling,cinnamon and some brown sugar- it was delicious but aesthetically non pleasing..I plan to try it now with fresh apples, raisins,walnuts,brown sugar and cinammon-if your family isn't fussy about "looks"-speedy way to make a delicious dessert-phyllo recipes from Apollo-there are recipes at that site plus free phyllo recipe cookbook with shipping charges

corn fritters-fruit fritters-too many recipes-corn with peppers-corn with cheese; beer batter fritters-they won't have the taste of deep fried fritters but if you add enough butter-they still will be delicious-
anything flat is easy such as fish and sliced vegetables besides obvious hamburgs-and roundish hotdogs
buy Saucy Susan and put it on chicken or shrimp-or use apricot jam-be creative-make spicy or whatever

-make the nut crust-then press it on fish and grill it
1/2 cup bread crumbs

2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespon olive oil

Dogtoys also sells wonderful treats. They sell Alaskan Salmon Yummy Chummies. The first day I gave them to Hammy, he spent two hours searching for more of them. He is 15 years old. Their first ingredients are whole Alaska Salmon, Salmon Meal Wheat Flour and Vegetable Protein.

Indian Chickpea flour pancakes-you can buy Besan flour, add water,enough to have a thickess pancake batter-I also throw in a little ghee-clarified butter-make certain the grill is hot..then pour on the batter slowly-hopefully just thick enough so it won't run-great if you are allergic to wheat-then you can add Chopped tomatoes,Chopped onions or peppers-you might want to add seasoning to the batter-tumeric,garlic,etc-it is just easy and so fast-and so CHEAP! I haven't tried to see how it will taste with cheese yet-
Indian chickpea flour also great for unusual batter for vegetables
corn tortillas-2 cups masa harina,1-1/3 cups warm water. if dough is too sticky-add a bit more water-make into balls-then flatten them and George them! -that is special flour with lime-you can buy it at ethnic grocer if you can't find it in your local stores-
you can buy ready made tortillas-but they cost more and have additives- re additives-just read research possibly linking glucamates-ie msg-and depression-a Japanese study-you might want to stay away from as many additives as possible

potato pancakes- 4 potatoes(new potatoes have more vitamin c)-beaten egg-1 tsp salt-2 tablespoons flour-optional-onion/,mushrooms/ grated cheese- grate potato and onion in food processor-might be too much trouble if you don't have a food processor-then mix other ingredients-throw in some butter- make patties and then George it!-put sour cream or applesauce on it(did you know that the pectin in applesauce helps both constipation and diahrrea?)

sweet potato pancakes-same process-but you might want to add grated apples and spices-ie cinammon-have read that sweet potatoes are great detoxifiers and help remove metals from system-have also read that sweet potato,white potato plus leek is great diahrrea remedy)

make french toast..just make certain the grill is hot-a bit of the egg batter does run off..

sweet potato fries-slice sweet potatoes into 1/2 inch strips...soak in orange juice,with some cinnamon and cayenne pepper..then grill them..you might want to add some butter to make them crisper..have read that sweet potatoes help remove toxins from system besides being very nutrious..have also read that yams, not as nutritious and sweet potatoes are sometimes referred to interchangeable..what a pain!

if you have more time, you might want to just puree the sweet potatoes and make patties..
either buy or make wonton wrappers,mix up some raisins,nuts,brown sugar,cinnamon and possibly peeled apple slices,close the edges, boil in water for a few minutes, and then George them..you may want to sprinkle some butter,brown sugar,cinammon and a few nuts on top

buy some tortilla wrappers or pita bread and put your favorites within..cheese,whatever-precook asparagulus and add some nuts..awesome..

you can make your favorite vegetarian curry and then put it between two slices of bread and George that..neat little sandwich

easy curry sauces
1 T oil or ghee
2 t cumin seeds
3 t cumin powder
1/2 t Indian chili powder

you decide proportions-skinned cubed potatoes,cooked chickpeas,cauliflower,peas,carrots,broccoli,diced tomatoes-once mixture is done-use George Foreman Grill to make curry sandwiches-bread or pita with mixture inbetween

cook pre frozen french fries

make tuna melts-use either "healthier bread" such as whole grain, or French bread-water canned tuna-enough mayonaisse-add onions,chopped tomatoes,pimentoes or whatever you fancy-then add your favorite cheese-and George it!

take pureed beans and make fast nachos-a delicious blackbean recipe is to throw a bag of black beans into boiling water-you can soak them overnight to make them cook faster-it is speedier to buy canned black beans but more expensive and also has additives-add a teaspoon of baking soda-hope reduce the "gas effect"-then add some maple syrup-(I use real Maple Syrup-healthier, more expensive, but really tastes better-less than a 1/4 cup-add some Japanese Plum Sauce-a few tablespoons-a few drops of tobasco or hot sauce-a few of tablespoons of a Goya prepared paste for beans-I always use cayenne pepper-then puree the mixture and George it-I throw on corn chip and monterey jack cheese after a few minutes on the grill-I found that the bean mixture tastes even better after refrigerated a day or two-I have also used pinto beans

bread leftover chicken etc and make delicious chicken treats

bread sliced onions and make onion rings
warm up cat food if you kitty cat isn't feeling well just let your imagination work
Francesca's Suggestions-thank you Francesca

Here is Twinkie who also loves the grill! . Ever since I purchased it a couple of years ago - I swear through my enthusiasm have sold thousands of them for George. My oven element went out about a year ago - I haven't bothered to fix it. I thought I'd mention a few things that I do that I haven't seen mentioned on your site. I am a great Greek food fan.more sandwich ideas
I put on swiss, spinach, red onion, meats, sometimes chutney if it is poultry or lamb sometimes put on sundried tomatoes and other stuff like cilantro. Sometimes lamb and hummus and cilantro and cheese
I cook lamb on the Foreman and heat the middle eastern flat bread on the grill in the juices. I then fill the bread with the lamb, raw spinach, tomato, and top with tazikki (sp?) sauce. You know, the yogurt/cucumber sauce. It is fabulous and I don't even like yogurt.
I also take frozen french fries or those long flat tater tot things and grill them. Then when they are crisp, I squeeze lemon juice on them and sprinkle with dill and garlic. Yum.
Cook asparagas with garlic and drizzle sesame oil at the end
I also do an avocado thing where I cut the avocado lengthwise and remove the pit. Then lay the two pieces down on the grill skin side down. Fill the declevity with shrimp salad, crab salad or chicken salad. I grill them and at the last minute, top with cheese. They are fabulous!!!!! (Avocado is awesome cooked and I love grilled avocado sandwiches).
I do a chicken thing with pounded boneless breasts. I stuff them with creamcheese mixed with lots of chopped green onion and tons of garlic. I sometime wrap them with bacon. Served with rice and salad. The sauce is on the inside and very creamy.
I love asparagus on the grill. I usually partially skin part of the lower stalk. I alternate their direction, setting them sort of "head to tail". I use lots of spice on them and then squeeze lemon juice on at the end.
I make the grilled sandwiches like the fancy places do. I use olive oil on the grill. I use a bread like focacia for sandwiches. I put in cheeses, spinach, meat, fresh herbs, etc.
I love to reheat mashed potato or mashed sweet potato on the grill. I cook it until it is quite crisp. I like to add herbs, onions, mushrooms, whatever to the potatoes. Even cheese on the inside of the pattie.
I often cook bananas on the grill with butter, brown sugar, nuts and liqueur and serve with icecream. Works with pinapple, apples, etc.
I also like to cook cucumber on the grill. I peel and cut into slices, about med. in size. I drizzle a little chicken broth on them to enourage a little steaming, and add a little mashed anchovie . I use wine, chicken broth, liqueur, or vodka or gin sometimes to encourage steaming, epecially when cooking things like brussel sprouts.
I do a lot of stir frying on the grill, epecially with spinach and then put into a sandwich. I have used the refrigerated crescent rolls in the tube before, to surround like cheese, mashed potato, onions and meat. Kind of like an En Croute.
I grill a lot of bread slices on the grill. I use olive oil and herbs. For breakfast for my son, I will take a slice of bread and cut a hole with a small glass out of it.
Then drop an egg into the hole after the bread is laid on a greased grill. I do stuffed mushrooms on the grill. I take out the stem, stuff them with a filling of pate, or a bread type stuffing with cheese to fill the declevity, and grill.
I do the same with scooped out, halved cucumbers or tomatoes or parcooked green peppers with a meat and rice filling. I grill halved tomatoes, or sliced if large, with fresh cilantro.
When cooking brocolli, bok choy, or vegetables that have two different densities, I often separate the tops from the bottoms and use them like two different vegetables. The brocolli I use the stems peeled and sliced lengwise. Cook on the grill with olive oil and garlic. The bok choy, I use the tops like spinach, and separately use the stems on the grill.
I could go on and on. I love this machine. I have so many people tell me that the cleanup is a pain and they never use theirs. Sure beats washing pots and lids. I learned from your site how to use the wet paper towel inside to steam off the tough parts.

berries with balsamic vinegar..strange but true..balsamic vinegar over st berries for instance,makes the berries taste sweeter..also like a liquor but without alcohol..adding homemade whipped cream..I usually add a little pure vanilla and a little sugar..makes it sensational..I used a food processor to whip up the heavy cream

casserole easy to make..is canned stringbeans,mushrooms and cream of mushroom soup..some how sprinkling almonds on top really adds big time..I tend to overcook it in oven to make the flavor go all through..you could also buy the onion rings in can and sprinkle that over the top.
Cranberry-Orange Relish
pound of fresh cranberries,two cups sugar,1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts,two oranges..peel the orange-take membrane off the orange sections-grind some of the rind-just a bit since too much makes it bitter- 2 cups of sugar-if you prefer-cut down the sugar and add a liquor-ie grand marinier or some port-use a food processor and that is that..
