I can’t even begin to tell you how much I love grilling season! I love cooking on my grill… in fact, I’ve even been known to cook French toast for breakfast out on the grill! It’s so easy to throw a steak or a couple of burgers on the grill. But then I hate having to head into the kitchen to throw together a side dish or two. So I was thrilled to find plenty of recipes for side dishes in Gooseberry Patch’s cookbook, “Grilling and Campfire Cooking”. Anytime I can cook the entire meal (or just about all of it) on the grill, I’m in heaven!
The recipe calls for grated Parmesan cheese. I had some Kraft grated Parmesan cheese handy, so that’s what I used. But freshly grated Parmesan would be great… and I’m definitely planning on trying this with a sprinkling of shredded mozzarella cheese!
This will be a great recipe to use all summer long, with garden-fresh tomatoes. Yum! When they come off the grill, top them with an extra sprinkle of balsamic vinaigrette dressing and some fresh basil.
I used my Wilton Armetale Gourmet Grillware Warming Tray to grill the tomatoes. This tray is a great way to cook more delicate foods or smaller pieces (think shrimp without the skewers, or zucchini strips) and still get that great grilled flavor.
If you love to grill and want some new ideas, you will love “Grilling & Campfire Cooking” from Gooseberry Patch!
