Gone are the days of using your outdoor grill to cook just hamburgers and hotdogs. You can prepare an amazing assortment of delicious food on the grill. And you don’t even have to
be a gourmet chef to pull it off!
Get your grill on, invite a few friends over and enjoy this easy, Summer Sunset dinner party menu that serves 4.
Greet your guests at the door and get a Melon Cooler in their hands and you will immediately put them at ease. Offer a few nibbles from the appetizer list below. Grill this recipe for Chili-Rubbed Chicken Breasts with a Chimichurri Sauce. This sauce originated in Argentina and is a pesto type of sauce delectable on grilled beef or chicken. You can prepare it 2-3 hours in advance. Have you ever grilled sweet potatoes? The potato caramelizes and becomes deliciously sweet from roasting. I like to top it with the Honey-Lime Butter which balances the sweetness of the potato. Add the Green Beans & Cherry Tomatoes side dish and pick up a light dessert from your favorite bakery for a fantastic meal. You may also serve a fabulous Syrah wine with the meal.
For ambiance, play 11:11 by Rodrigo y Gabriela. This acoustic guitar duo will provide beautiful background music for your dinner party. Set up a simple dining table outside and cover with a cloth tablecloth. Add candles in hurricanes for sparkle. Enjoy your friends and have fun!
