There’s nothing better than a Sunday with the grill and family, partner, or friends, but have you ever thought about the benefits of cooking over charcoal? I’m sharing some advantages of why it’s a great option. The first, which our palate appreciates, is that the foods acquire an incomparable juiciness, especially meats, as grilling ensures an even temperature that prevents the loss of texture. Another great advantage is that the nutrients do not diminish; on the contrary, they remain intact for our benefit. On the other hand, and no less important, is that the grill also enhances the flavor of each food, as no additional seasonings are required for their preparation. Likewise, foods tend to have less fat when grilled, as they utilize their natural fat and no oils that harm our health are added. Here are some recipe options you can prepare over charcoal. Garlic mushrooms: Grill with avocado oil, chopped garlic, and a bit of cilantro. Add pepper and coarse salt to taste. Poblano peppers with shrimp: First grill the peppers; once they start changing color, fill them with Manchego or Oaxaca cheese and chopped shrimp. Add fresh chopped tomato.Parmesan romaine lettuce hearts: Grill with olive oil and place slices of Parmesan cheese on top. Finally, add a touch of thick balsamic vinegar. Cauliflower steaks with worm salt: Grill the cauliflower steaks with olive oil, add worm salt to taste, and a splash of mezcal to flambé. Well, now you know, besides enjoying a pleasant moment with your loved ones while cooking over charcoal, you can indulge in lighter dishes, lower in calories, that will help your body function better.
