BLAZE of glory
Whole Grilled Chicken with Scorched Herbs.
Summer nights in Niagara are a party! Whether it’s a sunset concert, a theatrical production, a show of fireworks or the sparks and embers of our grills lit for an evening of eating and laughing with friends and family, we know how to do summer right!
For us, the best summer evenings are spent outside, around the table as we dig into the bounty of the season. Our preparations tend to be rather simple in summer — yellow beans just need a little olive oil, salt and pepper, the same applies to salad greens and even new potatoes, but a little creativity in your grilled goods adds a bit of sparkle and personal flair.
Grilling a chicken whole allows time for good smoked flavour to set in, particularly if you are grilling over charcoal, as with our Whole Grilled Chicken with Scorched Herbs. Herbs are in abundance (even we, the gardening-challenged, have a decent bed of herbs thriving). Need a creative homemade dip to serve with all your garden dip-ables? Our Charred Hot Pepper Dip has a wholesome white kidney bean base to absorb some of the heat from the grilled hot peppers. And even dessert can be prepared on the grill with Berries Jubilee. If you plan to make dessert as the sun is setting, the flambée effect as you add the Chambord or brandy to the pan of bubbling berries will garner “oohs” and “aahs” from your guests.
So light the grill, cook with our stunning produce and have a fantastic Niagara summer night!
