No Meat Mixed Grill Recipes

NO-MEAT MIXED GRILL

Steps:

• Cut the sweet potato or carrots into 1cm-thick slices. Put in a pan with enough water to cover, boil for 2 mins, then drain.
• Heat the grill until hot. Line the rack with foil. Cut the courgette in half lengthways, then halve again for quarters. Slash the flesh in a criss-cross pattern.
• Line up the potato or carrots, courgettes (cut-side up) and leeks and/or asparagus in the grill pan and brush with oil. Season, then grill on one side for 3-5 mins until browned and just softened - no need to turn. As they cook, remove to a heatproof dish.
• Place the remaining vegetables and mushrooms (skin-side up) on the foil, brush with oil, season and cook for about 3-5 mins until softened and browned. Place in the dish and trickle over any cooking juices. Scatter over the nuts or seeds and return the dish to the grill for a minute or two so they lightly toast. Drizzle with a little vinaigrette and soy sauce just before serving.

"MEAT COUNTER" MIXED GRILL

Steps:

• In a large saucepan of barely boiling salted water, cook the sausages for 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and let the sausages cool in the liquid. Refrigerate.
• Marinate the chicken. Spoon enough salsa verde over the chicken to coat evenly.
• Marinate the lamb in the same fashion as the chicken. Let both meats marinate chilled in separate containers for about 8 hours.
• Before grilling let the sausages, chicken, and lamb sit at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes.
• Preheat the grill to high. Clean the grate with a brass-bristle brush. Reduce the heat to medium.
• Lightly coat the sausages with oil. Season the chicken on all sides with 2 teaspoons salt, pressing it into the meat. Season the racks of lamb on all sides with 2 teaspoons salt, pressing it into the meat. Season the cut side of the lemons with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• Grill the chicken and lamb racks over direct medium heat until well browned on all sides, 6 to 8 minutes, turning occasionally. Move the chicken and lamb to indirect heat and continue to cook for 10 more minutes. Leaving the chicken and lamb rack to continue cooking over indirect heat, grill the sausages over direct medium heat for about 6 to 8 minutes. Move the sausages to indirect heat to finish cooking for 4 to 6 minutes. Season the summer squash with olive oil, salt and pepper, and grill over direct heat until caramelized and fully cooked. During the last few minutes of grilling, grill the lemons cut side down over direct medium heat until well browned, about 2 minutes.
• Remove everything from the grill and let the rest at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes. Cut the meats into serving-size pieces. Arrange on a large platter and garnish with the lemons and salsa verde.
• Soak the slices of bread in 2 tablespoons vinegar for 1 minute. Using a food processor blend all ingredients together, taste for seasoning and adjust consistency if need be.

MIXED GRILL

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add half the sausages or ham and cook until crisped on 1 or both sides and warmed through, about 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining oil and sausages. Transfer to a platter.

MIXED GRILL IN FOIL

Steps:

• Cut the fish fillets crosswise into portions approximately 4 ounces. Salt them and set aside.
• Shell and devein shrimp. Leave tails attached.
• Cut chicken into 1-inch or slightly larger pieces and score each a few times.
• Clean mushrooms and slice. Reserve stems for use in stocks or soups.
• Preheat oven to 475 degrees or, if cooking over coals, make sure they are red hot with no flame.
• Butter the centers of four 12-inch squares of aluminum foil. In the center of each square, place a portion of fish fillet. On top and around it arrange shrimp, chicken and mushroom slices. Top with a pat of butter and a lemon slice. Sprinkle the sake evenly over each portion. Fold up into packets and crimp edges so each packet is tightly sealed.
• Place packets on grill above coals and grill for 10 minutes. Do not turn. If using oven, bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Serve hot on individual plates with light soy sauce.
