Grilled Desserts - How Bout Watermelon?

As you know I love my man grill. There is something special about sitting around the man grill drinking and eating. But what is a meal without dessert?

I'm always on the look out for new foods to throw on the grill.

So... why not watermelon?

Yep, you heard that right! Grilled watermelon.

Here you go.

Grilled Sliced Watermelon

Juice of 2 limes
the zest of half a lime
2 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons water
A few dashes of cayenne pepper
A couple of pinches of salt

Preheat grill to high. Cut watermelon into 1-inch thick slices. Brush each side lightly with some honey and place on grill. Grill until just browned, about 2 minutes per side. Place watermelon slices on a plate and drizzle with the honey-lime syrup.

Should We Buy This? Hell Yea!

Okay listen up. We donations so we can buy this wonderful machine.

The Octane 120 Beer Arcade from Dream Arcades just looks fun, and I don’t even play video games (except free ones online).

The Beer Arcade is described as “a high-end gaming PC, full driving controls and a beer tap in one unit.”

Basically it is a sit-down video game system that simulates sitting in a car, including a steering wheel and pedals. It also features a HD projector for wall display, and features dozens of driving sims.

Grilled Chicken with Red Onion Jam

 This sounds like my next grilling adventure!

As some of you may know Kimber and I like to brew our own beer and Kimber really likes to make hard cider. Well we had a batch of cider that didn't quite turn out the way we wanted. So instead of throwing out I decided to use it for marinating some of our recipes in it. Our ribs turned out fantastic so I reworked this recipe and I'll let you know how it turns out!

 

Grilled Chicken with Red Onion Jam

 INGREDIENTS

FOR THE CHICKEN:
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
½ cup minced parsley
¼ cup minced basil
2 tbsp. minced rosemary
2 tbsp. minced thyme
1 tsp. crushed red chile flakes
4 cloves garlic, minced
Juice and zest of 1 lemon
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded to ¼" thickness, halved

 FOR THE RED ONION JAM:
4 tbsp. unsalted butter
2 large red onions, sliced thin
¾ cup dry hard cider
½ cup sherry vinegar
½ cup sugar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Make the chicken: Mix oil, parsley, basil, rosemary, thyme, chile flakes, garlic, and lemon juice and zest in a gallon-size resealable plastic bag; add chicken. Seal bag, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (or overnight).

2. Meanwhile, make the jam: Heat butter in a 12″ skillet over medium heat. Add onions; cook, stirring, until soft but not browned, about 15 minutes. Add wine, vinegar, sugar, liqueur, salt, and pepper; cook, stirring, until thick, about 40 minutes; let jam cool.

3. Build a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill to medium-high. Working in batches, grill chicken, turning once, until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Serve with the onion jam.
