I had the most amazing grilled tomatoes spread on top of Chevre-covered toasted bread this weekend. I didn’t think anything could replace a grilled burger. I was wrong. This summer, I am going to be grilling all the time and sharing my new favorite grilled veggie.
Check out all the photos in our Flickr Gallery for more bbq grill ideas to inspire building your own. There are grills made from the inside of washers, rims of a car, recycled metal, bricks and stone. Some very fun ideas!
We cook outdoors a LOT in the warm weather months. Anything to keep the heat out of the kitchen, and grilling somehow just seems more festive. Grilled veggies, homemade burgers, grilled peaches with melted chocolate. What's not to love? When I was in Argentina, the locals often travel with just a metal grate. They set up their fires, perhaps with a few rocks around the edges, and set the grate over the coals. Simple, but worked wonderfully, even in the middle of nowhere!
Yep, warm weather cooking outdoors is the way to go. And your toast reminded me of our trip to Paris. The round of goat cheese melted into the toast with basil and tomatoes….YUM! Oh and bottle of Sancerre to wash it down with.
