Now that it’s officially summer, Aramark’s culinary experts have compiled their favorite grilling tips to enrich the grilling experience for everyone from the startner to the grill master.
Once your grill is prepped, the Aramark culinary experts recommend the following tips for great summer grilling.
BUILD A BETTER BURGER
The way the burger meat is prepared can make or break the “perfect” burger. Follow these tips to ensure a juicy, delicious burger:
- The finer the grind of the meat, the denser the end product will be. Use a medium to coarse meat grind, but handle it gently, since a coarse ground burger tends to break apart if mishandled.
- Whether using beef, turkey or chicken, incorporate a pinch of sea salt into the burger meat before you form the patty, and add pepper to the outside before you put it on the grill.
- Chill burger patties for about 30 minutes prior to grilling. This allows the outside of the burger more time to cook, which adds flavor.
MAKE THE MOST OF SUMMER PRODUCE
Mushrooms, zucchini, onions, peppers, tomatoes and pineapple are wonderful when grilled on a skewer. Asparagus, eggplant and even red bliss potatoes are also popular on the grill. To add flavor use marinades with healthier ingredients, such as olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, honey, garlic, dried mustard and other spices. For perfect grilled vegetables, remember to use medium heat and cook until tender crisp.
