Grilled Leftovers


One of the best things about grilling, (other than not having a dirty kitchen to clean up) is that tonight’s grilled feast, can be tomorrows quick dinner. Grilled steak, veggies, or chicken can be tossed into pasta or a frittata providing most if not all of the flavor in addition to a subtle smokiness. The other night we grilled chicken quarters and zucchini tossed with baby red onions. The next night I threw together a quick frittata: Into a 12-inch nonstick skillet went a pile of leftover linguine, next some chopped up deli ham, then the chopped leftover grilled zucchini (which was already seasoned of course). I then scrambled up 5 eggs and poured that over the contents of the pan, and sprinkled with some sharp white cheddar and feta cheese. Yum. Here is the zuchini ready to be grilled.

Double duty meals is something I've come to plan for at least once a week at our house... here's the #1 favorite. Day one - we grill kabobs - boneless chix thighs and breasts, sweet onion, and red bells that have marinated about 1/2 hour in a little teriyaki, honey and a drizzle of dark sesame oil. Half of the kabobs are promptly sealed and refrigerated. While the other half are served up immediately with a package of pre cooked and mashed sweet potatoes. (OK- I'll admit it's not a matchy matchy menu but my family loves it.) Day two, I whip out and toss the wooden skewers from the leftover kabobs and dice the chicken, onions, and peppers. - That deliciously seasoned mix becomes the add in for a simple Chicken Fried Rice. The additional ingredients - a scrambled egg or two - a handful of frozen green peas - and cooked texmati rice. Beats carryout anyday !!!
