Although I love Italian-style meatballs with traditional red sauce as a sandwich, I’m going to change up the flavors by making a Greek version. Then I’ll smoke my meatballs on the charcoal grill using charwood, which is a partially charred hardwood from SmokinLicious® that still retains a core of uncarbonized material to release wood flavorings.

Our finished Grilled Asparagus Wrapped with a healthy Choice

ASPARAGUS WRAPPED IN PUFF PASTRY Click To Tweet

One of the favorite Spring vegetables that certainly don’t have a long fresh season around my area, asparagus is know for its fiber and its diuretic quality since it is 93% water. Although it certainly is a star vegetable to grill, I’m taking it to the healthy side and preparing a wrapped asparagus without all the fat, sodium, and calories of bacon or prosciutto wrapped.

This is a super flavorful twist of carrot and puff pastry that is perfect for a dipping sauce. Fresh asparagus comes to life when we wood-fire it on the gas grill with wood chunks for added flavor. When done, you’ll never miss the bacon as this is a meaty, satisfying take on the wrapped asparagus theme. Now, get your bunch of fresh asparagus and learn this healthier version of wrapped asparagus wood-fired!

Leeks fire roasted- listen to our step by step approach!

Considered one of the healthiest foods, leeks join onion and garlic as part of the allium vegetable family. This seasonal delight is commonly used as a soup but I have something else in mind. I’ll be putting these directly on the hot coals and charring them for tenderness and flavor. Then I’ll be layering them in a terrine that includes goat cheese and crème Fraiche. I’ll also provide a dip alternative using the same ingredients to give you two options for these great flavors. Get shopping and pick out about 5 lbs. of vibrant green leeks, and let’s make an appetizer.

GRILLED PARSNIPS TASTE LIKE FRENCH FRIES Click To Tweet

Your diet likely doesn’t consistent of many root vegetables and I can guarantee that if you have kids, they may not have tried more than a carrot for a root vegetable. I’m going to introduce you to parsnips which is one root vegetable that when grilled, takes on a flavor very similar to French fries.

That’s why I’m calling this recipe my Smoked Parsnip Fries with Spicy Honey Glaze. As easy to prepare as it’s cousin the carrot, parsnips take no time at all to prepare and smoke on the grill. Go to the market and get yourself about 2 pounds of this lesser used vegetable and let’s convert you from the potato to the parsnip!

Romero infusionado pierna de res ahumada

Estoy aquí con otra receta para las piernas de res que aprovecha las hierbas de temporada con una técnica de ahumar simple que se puede hacer en su parrilla de gas o carbón. Voy a cocinar mis piernas de res en la parrilla de gas usando mi método de cocción favorito de dos zonas. Por supuesto, quiero un poco de sabor de madera en estas piernas así que voy a usar trozos de madera de cerezo en una caja de metal para ahumado.

Condimento simple para romero infusionado pierna de res ahumada

El romero se considera uno de los maridajes de sabor ideal para la carne de res. Similar a la salvia, contiene más notas de pino y florales y es más dulce que otras hierbas.
