Grilling & Christmas
Grilling your Christmas dinner can be a fantastic way to infuse a festive meal with the smoky, charred flavors that come from the grill. Here are some other ideas to make it happen:
- Grilled Turkey: Instead of roasting, grill your turkey! It's essential to use indirect heat and keep the grill covered to ensure even cooking. Consider using a flavorful rub or marinade to enhance the taste.
- Cranberry-Glazed Ham: Glaze a ham with a delicious cranberry sauce while it grills. The combination of smoky ham and sweet-tart cranberries can be a delightful surprise.
- Grilled Vegetables: Prepare a medley of seasonal vegetables like carrots, Brussels sprouts, or sweet potatoes on the grill. They'll get a lovely char and smokiness that adds depth to their flavors.
- Grilled Stuffing or Dressing: Yes, you can grill stuffing! Wrap it in foil or use a grill-safe pan to get that smoky essence while it cooks.
- Grilled Desserts: Finish off the meal with grilled desserts, like grilled fruit skewers served with a cranberry glaze or a grilled pineapple dessert with a touch of cinnamon.
Remember to manage the grill temperature carefully and keep an eye on cooking times to ensure everything is cooked to perfection. It's also a good idea to have some backup dishes in case grilling takes longer than expected. Enjoy the unique flavors and the outdoor cooking experience during this festive time!
