Jerk Chicken

Jerk chicken originally comes from Jamaica. If you are not familiar with it, it is basically a marinade for chicken. It can also be used for other types of meats as well such as fish and beef. This mixture is a combination of tangy, hot and sweet flavors. The marinade is mixed in a blender to make things very easy. Some of the ingredients in the marinade include soy sauce, vinegar, green onions, jalapeño pepper and various seasonings. If you don’t want to use boneless skinless chicken breasts, any type of chicken would work.This is another summer grilling recipe and is perfect for outdoor cookouts. Enjoy.

Spanish Rice

It is basically sautéed rice with tomatoes, onion and bell pepper. This recipe can be prepared in about 40 minutes and is very easy to make while cooking your main dish. Chicken broth can be substituted for water if you are looking for a different flavor. Using chicken broth is how it is done traditionally. The rice is first browned and then simmered until all of the liquid is absorbed. This recipe can easily be doubled if you are serving a large crowd. Enjoy.

Cuban Burgers

If you haven’t guessed already this is a combination of a hamburger and a Cuban sandwich. This is a recipe from the legendary Bobby Flay. This burger uses traditional Cuban sandwich ingredients such as ham, pickles and Swiss cheese. The burgers are topped with garlic mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. Since we are using the grill for this recipe, you know it’s perfect for summer. It is also extremely easy to prepare. The recipe calls for the burgers to be pressed, this is totally optional. Enjoy.

Shrimp Carbonara

With a dish like this it’s no surprise Italian cuisine is one of the most popular around. Shrimp Carbonara is among my favorite Italian foods. This dish combines shrimp, bacon and onion with noodles and a sauce. The sauce is a combination of whipping cream, eggs, and Romano cheese. It’s perfect if you want to make a good impression with little effort. It is a good idea to try and time cooking the noodles along with the shrimp and bacon so the noodles remain fresh.  Enjoy.
