Spring has arrived, bringing warmth and joy to many, as well as the opportunity to bring out the grills and prepare a wonderful meal in the garden at home.
Take note of how to choose the perfect grill for you, along with culinary tricks that will ensure a perfect result.
What are the types of grilling?
If you already have an outdoor grill installed with stone and wall, it is perfect for your gatherings with friends. Make sure it is not too close to a field, forest, or trees (where it is prohibited to light them) and heat it at least one or two hours before eating dinner. Just light the fire with wood and let the coals heat up. Then, place the meat or fish on the grill for the estimated time.
Although they are less rustic, if you have less space but still want to enjoy exquisite grilled dishes, portable or electric grills are the best option. They are almost mess-free and allow for faster cooking of the food. It should be noted that we cannot put large quantities because they are smaller.
The foods
Once you've chosen the type of grill that suits your space best, we can move on to cooking the food. Meat grills are really the most well-known because this method makes it tastier, tender, and perfectly cooked.
We can buy different types, with chops and lamb and beef cuts being the ones that cook the fastest. We can always buy sausages and chorizos to accompany the meat, which can be cooked on the same grill.
When making meat skewers, it is essential that they are metal so that they do not burn.
To accompany both meats and fish, side dishes are essential. Made from vegetables or greens, we can put them on the grill a few minutes before the meat. Potatoes, carrots, eggplants, peppers, etc., are exquisite for dressing our dishes.
What about fish?
On the grill, we can cook all types of food. While meats improve, fish also acquire a very special grilled flavor. To cook it, a double grill is recommended to flip the pieces. We must consider that fish is a bit more fragile. Sardines, cuttlefish, or trout will be delicious.
Tricks to consider
Although it is quite simple, there are always some tricks to make our grilling a complete success.
For example, it is preferable to place the pieces on the grill over aluminum foil and season with coarse salt and olive oil. On the other hand, the grill should be heated for about half an hour before placing the pieces on top.
We should have a bit of patience, thus we emphasize that the coals should be lit half an hour or an hour before the event to have everything under control and not start eating at four in the afternoon, which is quite common when lacking experience.
