Flavored grilled herbs for hearty enjoyment
If you enjoy grilling adventures with some variety beyond chicken and pork, especially with tender meats like lamb chops or venison medallions, you should try this simple trick to add a delicious touch of flavors.
Ingredients:
- Rosemary and thyme sprigs (or other herbs rich in essential oils)
- Aluminum foil
Instructions:
1. Prepare herbs: Start by taking some rosemary and thyme sprigs (or your preferred aromatic herbs). You can be generous with the quantity.
2. Soak herbs: Soak the herb sprigs in water and let them soak for a few hours. This helps intensify the flavors and prevents them from burning too quickly on the grill.
3. Prepare aluminum foil: While the herbs are soaking, prepare some pieces of aluminum foil. Depending on the quantity of herbs, you can create several small packets or a larger one.
4. Wrap herbs: Place the soaked herbs on the aluminum foil and wrap them gently. Make sure it is well-sealed.
5. Poke holes in the foil: Use a fork or a small skewer to poke some holes on the top of the aluminum foil packet. This allows the aromatic steam to escape.
6. Prepare the grill: Once your meat pieces are nearing completion, place the herb packet on the hot coals or on the grill grates, depending on the type of grill you are using.
7. Let it infuse: Close the grill lid and let the herbs infuse with the meat. This gives your meat a subtle, smoky aroma and enhances the flavor.
8. Enjoy: After infusing, remove the herbs and serve your grilled meat. You will be delighted by the additional flavor dimension and the aroma of the meat.
With this simple trick, you can elevate any grilled dish with a special touch of herbal aromas and impress the taste buds of your guests. Enjoy your grilling! ππΏπ₯
