Four Foods on Friday #31

May 29th, 2008

Filed Under FFoF |

It’s Four Foods on Friday time. If you’d like to participate, you’ve got one more day, just stop by Val’s place.

Here’s this week’s questions:

#1. What is your favorite food that is cooked on the barbeque?
I suppose I’m pretty traditional…burgers, chicken, steak, etc.

#2. What veggies, if any, do you cook on the barbeque? Definitely sweet corn. You soak them in water for an hour with the husks still on, then wrap them in foil and put on the top rack when you turn on your grill. When your meat is done the corn will be done and it’s 100x more tasty than cooking it without them. YUM! (Of course butter and Hawaiian salt are mandatory!)

#3. Tell us a little about your barbeque habits. Who grills, how often, what months, etc. The man usually grills but he’s about to get his spatula revoked. He’s not a born griller and has returned burgers with hunks of meat missing due to not oiling the grill. So I told him he’s on probation! LOL We don’t grill often, maybe twice a year if we’re lucky during the summer but I’d like to change that.

#4. Share a barbeque recipe.

Grilled Banana Smores

Be sure to use firm, ripe bananas. Super-ripe bananas will be hard to skewer and may fall through the grill rack.

Ingredients
3 small bananas, cut into 1-inch pieces
12 (0.3-ounce) individually wrapped squares dark chocolate
12 graham cracker sheets, halved

Preparation
Thread banana pieces onto 3 (8-inch) metal skewers. Place skewers on a grill rack coated with cooking spray. Grill, covered with grill lid, over medium-high heat (350° to 400°) 5 minutes or until soft. Place 1 square dark chocolate onto 1 graham cracker half. Top with hot banana pieces and another graham cracker half. Repeat with remaining ingredients.

Yield
Makes 12 servings

Drooling @ smores.

My dad was always a poor griller. I remember chicken breasts from my childhood that had been squashed within an inch of their lives.

I hadn’t even thought about desert on the grill!

Bananas on the grill, that’s very creative. Doesn’t the chocolate melt and drip away though?

Kelly- I don’t see why you couldn’t do them on the Foreman grill. If you do, report back!

Chili Queen- You put the grilled banana on the graham cracker/chocolate base. If you’d like a big ol’ mess I suppose you could try putting the whole thing on the grill!

LOL about revoking his spatula. My dh just got a new grill and is over cooking stuff.
