i went to the paterson farmer's market and went a little crazy, buying a ton of fruits and veggies and meat.
so, since it was beautiful out here too, and i've deftly been able to avoid buying a propane grill this week, i fired up the charcoal grill and made chicken breasts, halal lamb steaks and burgers, sweet onions, pineapple skewers, and corn in the husk.
i tried out the trick of removing the silk and soaking the ears of corn still in the husks in cold water fior about an hour, then grilling then in the husk. they were fantastic. smoky and sweet. corrrney goodness.
the lamb steaks were very tasty, but were a little tough. i had the butcher cut me 2 - 2" inch steaks from the top of a leg o' lamb. i guess it was a tough little lamb. the last time i made them i marinated them in garlic and evoo overnight. i wonder if that did anything to tenderize them.
the onions were delicious. rubbed with s&p, evoo, and tossed in a grill wok.
but the grilled chunks of pineapple were like candy. they had nice grill marks and toasted edges. the egdes tasted just like pineapple caramel, as in the term carmelizing.
