Grilled Greek Pizza

June 24, 2016 by Vanessa Leave a Comment

I think it’s great that in Greek culture a common saying is “Να ζήσεις,” which means “may you live well.” I completely agree.

How is that Greeks look so at ease and happy all day long? (Oh, and that tan, olive colored skin!) They live to eat and socialize while doing it. They also appreciate quality seasonal ingredients such as fragrant herbs like parsley, oregano, and dill.

Grilled Greek Pizza is a no fuss recipe and it is packed with vegetables and Mediterranean flavor. I cheated and used a bottle Tzatziki sauce, made with creamy greek yogurt, in an effort to save time. Honestly, it was still delicious. We grilled our pizzas in our newly purchased Traeger giving them a slightly smoked flavor.

Bring on the ouzo! Grilled Greek Pizza is layered in fresh flavors reminiscent of the Mediterranean and is a lighter substitute for dinner.

Turn on the patio cafe lights and create your own ambience while enjoying a slice with a fresh squeeze of lemon (or drizzle olive oil) on each slice. Now, where’s the ouzo? “Stin iyia mas!” (Greek for “to your health.”)

Flavored Butter 4 Ways

June 13, 2016 by Vanessa Leave a Comment

Drizzle it and watch it drip and melt. Ah, delicious better. Now, let’s make it even better. Is that even possible? Yes!

Butter is better when it’s flavored perfectly to add to your dish.

Anyone of these could be used in other ways besides a top of grilled corn. Add to the rich flavor of grilled salmon by adding Lemon Dill Butter to it. Or achieve that true steakhouse savory flavor by adding a pad of Herb Butter to your ribeye as it rests after grilling. I promise you’ll never want your steak any other way again.

Try these flavor butter recipes. You’ll taste buds will thank you.

Italian Herb Butter

  • 1/2 stick unsalted butter (softened at room temperature)
  • 1 clove diced garlic
  • 1 tsp diced scallions
  • 1 tsp fresh dill
  • 1 tsp fresh flat leaf parsley
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • pinch of Kosher salt
  • pinch of black pepper

Mexican Butter

  • 1/2 stick unsalted butter (softened at room temperature)
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne (add more if you like it spicy)
  • pinch of Kosher salt
  • pinch of black pepper

Lemon Dill Butter

  • 1/2 stick unsalted butter (softened at room temperature)
  • 2 T fresh dill
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • pinch of Kosher salt
  • pinch of black pepper
