HOT OFF THE GRILL

Gayle's Sweet 'N' Sassy Newsletter

Greetings!
 

In the month of February, there is much to think about and celebrate.. The first that comes to mind is Valentines Day, the most romantic of holidays. Then Mardi Gras, which is celebrated in New Orleans with a double dose of celebration this year, after the New Orleans Saints Super Bowl win!
 
And we celebrate two past presidents birthdays...
 
The great George Washington, the first president of the United States (1789-1797). He was known as the father of our country. The Continental Congress appointed Washington commander and chief of the American revolutionary forces in 1776.
 
Our 16th president Abraham Lincoln (1861-1865) as president, Lincoln built the Republican Party into a strong national organization. On January 1, 1863 Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation that declared forever freeing slaves within the Confederacy.
 
As a child I recall learning the famous speech in dedicating the military cemetery at Gettysburg. "That we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth"
 
In tribute to these two great men, what better way to honor them, than to have the Great American BBQ with one of your favorite Gayle's BBQ sauces.. For your valentine prepare a dish with the EXTRA SASSY to spark up the romance...
 
Whatever way you chose to celebrate, we hope that you will enjoy preparing your favorite food with Gayle's.
 
Happy Valentines Day!

Honey Sweet Plank Salmon BBQ Chicken Pizza
INGREDIENTS
2 (12 inch) untreated cedar planks 1/4 cup pineapple juice
1 Cup of Gayle's Honey Sweet BBQ Sauce
1 pinch salt and pepper to taste
 
DIRECTIONS
Soak the cedar planks in warm water for 1 to 2 hours. Add a splash of bourbon to the water if desired.
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat. Place the planks on the grate. They are ready to cook on when they start to smoke and crackle just a little.

Season the salmon with a light sprinkling of salt and pepper. Place the fillets onto the smoking cedar planks, close the lid of the grill, and cook for 10 minutes. Spoon a small amount of Gayle's BBQ sauce over the salmon fillets, and continue cooking until the fish turns opaque in the center, about 5 minutes more. Serve with the remaining sauce.
 
Chipotle-Dijon Barbecue Short Ribs
INGREDIENTS
2 pounds short ribs of beef, each cut into 4-inch pieces
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups Gayle's Chipotle BBQ Sauce
1/2 cup Dijon mustard
 
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350° F.
Place ribs, meaty-side up, in large roasting pan. Sprinkle with salt. Brush with 2 tablespoons of Chipotle BBQ sauce. Bake 30 minutes. Meanwhile, combine remaining Chipotle BBQ sauce and Dijon mustard; set aside 1/2 cup mixture to serve with ribs later.
 
Brush ribs with Dijon chipotle sauce; bake 1 hour longer, basting occasionally, and turning a few times during baking.
Preheat grill to high. Place ribs on hot grill, meaty-side up. Cook about 10 minutes, turning once, and brushing with sauce occasionally. Serve ribs with reserved Dijon chipotle sauce.
 
Serve your Sweet N Sassy dish alongside a vegetable, salad or other favorite sides, and finish with a yummy dessert for a perfect Valentine evening!
