We BBQ’d
tonight! This kinda looks like the most bland, boring, colorless meal I’ve ever
made but the flavors were there! Lemon
chicken for me (recipe below), just BBQ Sauce for Brent (he’s not a lemon fan),
cauliflower tossed with olive oil, fresh chopped herbs and salt & pepper,
and white and wild rice to go along with!
I should have BBQ’d the cauliflower in tin foil though, I just cut up
and put in our “basket” that cooks openly in the BBQ and the outside browned a
little faster than it took to cook the cauliflower through. So think it would have been even better if I still
tossed with olive oil, herbs, etc but wrapped in foil to cook for about 20
mins. I’ve been a little obsessed lately
with using fresh herbs from my little herb garden – I’m very proud of my little
window pot that’s actually growing something and not dying!
Lemon BBQ
Chicken (my mom’s recipe, not sure where it originated!)
½ cup lemon
juice
½ cup olive
oil
2 cloves
garlic (I usually buy the pre-minced garlic and just take a few small
spoonfuls)
Pinch of
cayenne pepper, black pepper and salt
Mix together
(I usually shake in a sealed container to make sure everything is combined
well), then marinate chicken for at least 3 hours in the fridge. Take out of marinade and BBQ for about 10
minutes on each side, brushing the excess marinade a few times as you cook!
