The picnic season is just around the corner. So, it’s time to brush off the dust from the grill and dream up the theme of an off-site family menu. Tempting grilled appetizers open up a vast space for culinary creativity. The Forester trademark shares original ideas and useful tips with readers of “We Eat at Home”.
A hearty snack
Hearty pita bread envelopes are a win-win snack for a picnic. Mix 100 g of sour cream and 1 tsp of grilled seasoning with oregano and juniper berry Forester, leave for 10 minutes. So the spices will reveal the aroma more brightly and give the filling unique shades. Pour sour cream sauce 500 g of chopped mushrooms, simmer in a frying pan until thickened. Grate 100 g of cheese, chop a bunch of parsley and green onions. We connect all the components together. Thin pita bread is cut into sheets of 20 × 30 cm in size, spread the filling and fold the envelopes. Take these blanks for a picnic and brown them on the grill. By the way, it is most convenient to do this with the help of a three-dimensional grill Forester.
Potato classics
Baked potatoes on the coals always go with a bang. Especially if you add a couple of bright touches to it. Carefully wash 8-10 medium potatoes, dry and cut lengthwise. We put the potatoes on wooden skewers, sprinkle with spices to taste and put them on the grill for vegetables Forester. Make sure that the potatoes are baked completely and evenly!
Grilled Vitamins
Asparagus beans and bacon make a harmonious duet. Fresh notes will enrich it with chard, or beet tops. We cut 200 g of bean pods and chard stalks into “twigs” 10-15 cm long. Cook them in salt water for 10 minutes, dip them in cold water for a couple of minutes and dry them well on a towel. Divide the crispy “brushwood” into 10-12 bunches and wrap each with a strip of bacon. For a deeper and more interesting taste, sprinkle the bacon with Forester’s “5 Spices” seasoning. Fry the appetizer on the coals until the bacon is covered with a crispy brown crust. With this task, the Forester grill pan will help you perfectly cope.
Eggplant feast
Grilled eggplant is another good snack for a picnic. To please all home gourmets, we will prepare it in different variations. We make 4-5 longitudinal cuts on three eggplants, a little before reaching the stalk. Mix 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 crushed garlic cloves and 0.5 bunches of chopped dill in a bowl. Fill the eggplant with tomatoes, suluguni cheese or mozzarella and wrap with foil. Cut the other three eggplants into thick circles. To prepare such a snack on the grill, double Forester skewers are optimal. We keep the eggplants over the coals for 20 minutes, turning them over from time to time.
On the wings of love
Crispy chicken wings will decorate any picnic. The main thing is to come up with a suitable marinade. A set for marinating shish kebab with pink pepper and ginger from Forester is exactly what you need. It includes a harmoniously composed chicken seasoning and a pickling bag with a double zip lock. Mix 100 ml of soy sauce and olive oil, add the available seasoning, pour the marinade 1.5 kg of chicken wings. Leave them in an airtight bag overnight. The meat will deeply absorb the range of flavors, and nothing will happen to it on the way to the picnic. All that remains to be done is to thoroughly brown the wings on the grill. A large grill with a non-stick coating Forester will help to achieve the desired result.
Family hit
Sausages “with smoke” are adored by both children and adults. Even such a simple snack can be given a twist. Chop the onion in half rings, add 1 tbsp. l. olive oil, 3 sprigs of rosemary, 1 tsp.l. thyme and coriander. We immerse 1 kg of sausages in the resulting marinade and leave them in the refrigerator overnight. To efficiently bake such a snack in nature, it is most convenient to use a grill for sausages, kupat and sausages Forester. It will only take a few minutes. Tendrils-retainers will securely fix the sausages over the coals and ensure uniform roasting. And thanks to the adjustable height of the grill from 1.7 to 3.5 cm, you can easily prepare sausages of any caliber.
Surprise in a bun
Stuffed buns are a colorful snack that is impossible to resist. Cut the onion, sweet pepper, 200 g of chicken fillet and mushrooms into slices. Passeruem in oil until golden onion, add the chicken with a crushed clove of garlic and fry properly. Pour out the chopped mushrooms with Bulgarian pepper, bring the filling to readiness. In advance, we cut off the tops from round rye buns, carefully remove the crumb. We stuff them with the filling just before cooking, put a few pieces of boiled egg, close the lid of the bread and cook on the coals until crisp. In this case, a small volumetric grill Forester is indispensable, with the help of which the buns will turn out ruddy and appetizing. 5 minutes before cooking, open the rolls and sprinkle the contents with grated cheese!
Family picnics are one of the pleasures for which we look forward and love spring so much. The Forester brand has made sure that outdoor recreation is as comfortable, pleasant and carefree as possible. Indulge your family with original grilled dishes and enjoy the time spent together!
