Does anyone have a good recipe for the grille?:chef:
 
Not sure what kind of grille recipe you had in mind. My latest favorite NEW (to me) thing is the Italian Style Grilled Pizza. I made two of these at my second show and everyone raved about how good it was. It is definitely a summer recipe with fresh tomatoes and basil. Shows lots of good tools, too. Yum!

Italian-Style Grilled Pizza
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Mozzarella cheese
¼ cup (1 ounce) grated fresh Parmesan cheese
4 plum tomatoes, seeded and diced (1½ cups)
¼ cup fresh basil leaves, sliced into fine ribbons
1 can (2.25 ounces) sliced pitted ripe olives, drained
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
2 garlic cloves, pressed
½ teaspoon each salt and coarsely ground black pepper
1 package (16 ounces) pre-baked pizza crust

Prepare grill for direct cooking over medium coals. Place mozzarella
cheese in Classic Batter Bowl. Grate Parmesan cheese into batter bowl
using Deluxe Cheese Grater. Slice tomatoes in half using Chef’s Knife;
remove seeds using Cook’s Corer™. Cut tomatoes into ¾ inch pieces;
slice basil leaves into fine ribbons. Add tomatoes, basil and olives to
batter bowl; mix gently using Small Mix ‘N Scraper®.

In Small Batter Bowl, combine oil, vinegar, garlic pressed with Garlic
Press, salt and black pepper. Lightly brush top of crust with 1
tablespoon of the oil mixture using Pastry Brush.

Place crust in center of grid of grill, top side down. Grill crust,
uncovered, 4-5 minutes or until deep golden brown. Using Barbecue
Turner, turn crust over and carefully remove to Large Grooved Cutting Board.

Add remaining oil mixture to cheese mixture in batter bowl; mix well.
Spoon cheese mixture evenly over top of crust; return pizza to grid of
grill. Cover and grill 8-10 minutes or until cheese is melted and
bottom of crust is deep golden brown.

Remove pizza to cutting board; slice using Pizza Cutter. Place on
Round Platter; serve using Slice ‘N Serve®.
