Grilling out - share your tips/recipes/techniques to keep is VSG friendly
Hey all...since spring has sprung and hundreds of thousands of grills and smokers are firing up across the land, lets talk about meat...or meat alternatives...any tips or recipes you use now to keep these tasty treats VSG friendly?
Since I am still relatively new in my journey, I haven't done much besides a salmon burger and today I am trying smoked turkey and smoked pork loin with a little Jack Stack BBQ sauce.
For those of you that are further out...have you tried anything new? Any new sauces or types of meat? Anyone grilled tofu?
We just throw it on the grill with a homemade sauce with little to no sugar or other high calorie crap. My fave is chicken with lime juice and a little chili powder.

We do marinate it, but it's acidic so it will "cook" it a little, but not a huge problem. You can also buy "True Lime" just like the True Lemon that is dehydrated lime juice and just use that if you don't plan ahead LOL... we don't plan ahead a lot ;) We just shake the powder on.
We also do lemon pepper.
Yeah, I like citrus ;)
The True Lemon, Lime and Orange is really great for a burst of flavor.

Anything that walks or swims I will grill .
One of my favs is cornish hen on the grill- split it, butterflied and grill it on both sides. The fat in the meat keeps it really moist while it gets some of the grease out of it.. Chicken thighs, salmon with the skin sliced a bit to keep it from curling.. for me, if it's meat & veggie, it's VSG friendly. I love grilled fennel bulbs.. olive oil tossed veggies of all sorts can be grilled. I don't do a lot of sauces but will marninate and oil them before grilling. Whole tilapia stuffed with herbs grills up nice too.
I LOVE fennel...will definitely have to try to grill them. I love to do veggies too...mushroom, onions, peppers, oh my!
Thanks for the tip on the salmon...next weekend is our first time with whole fish
