Bon Appetit-Weeks of 5/18

Okay full swing into trying to cook all the June recipes... Are you thinking Why oh why? Well there is no good why -how about just because... I also purchased a new gas grill hence the theme.


Week 2 Dinners
Grilled Salmon (pg68-but not really)
Grilled Veggie & Tofu Stacks (Veggie and Vegan) (pg40)
Portobello Burgers w/Pesto & Roasted Red Peppers (Veggie) (pg105) w/grilled finger potatoes.
Grilled Halibut w/Coriander Pepita Butter (pg47) & Spinach Salad (pg49)

Yes I went a little grill crazy but it is a fun new toy.

I liked the burgers but not sure my dinner companions thought they were as good. I used a tiny bit of blue cheese instead of the provolone as that is what I had in the house and I don't need to buy more cheese. These where very quick and easy so a good midweek meal. For the potatoes I boiled them a bit before adding to the grill for quicker cooking.



The Halibut was beautifully fresh and great grilled but in the future I would use olive oil, this was one of those cases where the fat really did not add much to the flavor. If you have a good fresh fish you just want a hint of something to heighten the flavor. The grilled red onions where delicious.
