So, I accidentally produced a healthy, dairy-free BBQ menu for my sister's housewarming party. Funnily, we bought sour cream and shredded cheese to serve but ended up forgetting about it. I am going to post the recipes separate, because if I put them all together, this would be a very long post.
First things first, Jen made a masterful culinary breakthrough by asking if we should grill the corn on the cob with the husk still on. I hadn't tried it that way, so I suggested husking half of it and grilling the traditional way (for me at least) and the other half with the husks still on. Hands down, everyone loved it with the husks on. You want to cook it on the upper rack, if you have one, or with low heat until the husks get a bit charred and fragrant. They end up smelling like tamales and the corn is perfectly steamed.
The total menu for the BBQ:
Marinated chicken kabobs
Marinated Vegetable Kabobs
Grilled Corn on the Cob
Spanish Rice
Romaine Salad with Lime/Cilantro Vinaigrette
Refried Beans (from a can)
Housemade salsa (which didn't work so well as tomoatoes are very out of season)
And the Coup de Grace: Dessert of grilled pineapple, lime/coconut milk cream and housemade blueberry syrup
