So, you’re ready to grill. Time to gather
supplies! Cold beer? Check. Summer playlist? Check. Cinnamon sticks…huh?
We think that grilling should be about more
than just burgers
and pork. It should also be a sensory experience! And while good smells
come standard to most grills, epic aromatherapy takes one simple
addition: herbs. Not only do herbs create aromas that will make you want to rev
up the Weber every day of the week, they offer unique grilling benefits, too.
Here are three ways herbs can make your BBQ
even better:
1. Sage
+ Rosemary (a.k.a The BBQ bomb)
When met by a flame, a handful of sage and/or
rosemary creates a fragrant smoke with a trifecta of perks:
1) adding subtle flavor to your food
2) smelling heavenly
3) acting as a natural bug repellent
For best results, soak your herbs in water for
a few minutes first and then lay them directly onto the coals while they’re
still damp. Once you’ve BBQ-bombed it up, proceed with grilling as usual.
2. Cinnamon
Skewers
Want a flavorful alternative to the standard
wood and metal skewers? Try cinnamon sticks! We recommend using them to make
fruit kabobs. First, puncture pieces of pineapple, peaches and nectarines with
a metal skewer and then layer the pieces onto a cinnamon stick. Grill until the
fruit begins to caramelize for a sweet, unexpectedly spicy treat. Bonus:You
can also use cinnamon skewers for meats. For details, head over to Open
Cookbook.
3. Bake
It In
Marinades are all well and good, but did you
know you can also infuse your meat with herbal flavor? Softer herbs like mint,
oregano and thyme are best cooked in close quarters with your meat for maximum
flavor infusion. Snip them into sprigs and rinse carefully. Then, place the
pieces of herbs onto a sheet
of aluminum foil. With the herbs in place, add your meat and/or vegetables
to the foil along with olive oil or butter and wrap them tightly in the foil
before grilling.
