    Pasta with Chicken and Grilled Veggies

    Filed under: Barbeque — admin at 1:51 pm on Friday, March 5, 2010  Tagged

    Pasta with Chicken and Grilled Veggies

    1 1/2 pounds boned and skinned chicken breast halves

    2 portobello mushrooms

    6 halves sun-dried tomatoes, oil-packed, drained — coarsely

    chopped 1/2 cup basil, fresh — minced

    2 roma tomato — halved

    2 Japanese eggplant — quartered lengthwise

    4 cloves garlic (or to taste) — minced

    3/4 pound linguine or fettucine

    1/2 cup olive oil (or to taste)

    1 cup romano or parmesan cheese — shredded or grated

    s&p to taste

    Cook pasta al dente, set aside in hot water to keep hot. Lightly oil and grill chicken, eggplant, mushrooms, and roma tomatoes over med heat till done. Cook tomatoes on skin side only, so as not to lose any juice. Eggplant should be soft, tomatoes hot and lightly charred, and mushrooms and chicken cooked through. Cut chicken and eggplant into bite-sized pieces, and slice portobellos. (You can slice them first and grill the slices if you prefer) If the mushrooms are large, you may need to halve the slices. Cut tomato halves into two or four pieces, saving juice. Drain pasta, and toss with several drizzles of olive oil, garlic, basil, sundried tomatoes and 1/4 c cheese. Add chicken and veggies, toss again. Season to taste with s&p. Serve hot with the rest of the cheese. NOTE: The amounts may be played with, especially the amounts of chicken and pasta, and the mushrooms may be sauteed in butter rather than grilled if preferred. I really like the smoky taste from the grill.

    Grilled Chile Relleno

    Source: Chef Steve Raichlen

    6 large poblano chiles (see note)
    2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
    1 medium onion, finely chopped
    2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
    2 jalapenos, seeded and chopped (leave seeds
        in for spicier filling)
    1/2 red bell pepper, finely chopped
    1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
    1 teaspoon ground cumin
    1 (28 ounce) or 2 (16 ounce) cans vegetarian baked
        beans, drained
    1 to 3 teaspoons hot sauce
    12 ounces pepper jack or Monterey jack cheese,
        coarsely grated (3 cups)
    Salt, to taste
    Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
    Optional: 1 cup mesquite or other wood chips, soaked
        in water for 1 hour, then drained (see note)

    Cut poblano chiles in half lengthwise to create a boat for filling and scrape out seeds.

    Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet. Add onion, garlic, jalapenos, red bell pepper, cilantro and cumin and cook over medium heat until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Remove pan from heat and stir in baked beans, hot sauce and 2 cups of the cheese. Add salt and pepper to taste. Spoon the mixture into the hollowed chiles and sprinkle with remaining cheese.

    Set up grill for indirect grilling and preheat to medium. Arrange the chiles on the grill away from the heat. Cook until chiles are tender and cheese is browned and bubbling, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from gill and serve at once.

    Makes 6 side-dish servings.

    Note: You may substitute green bell peppers for the poblanos; cut pepper tops off about 1/2 inch below the stem. Using a spoon, scrape out the insides, taking care not to puncture the bottom.

    If you are using a gas grill, place the wood chips in the smoker box or smoker pouch under the grill grate directly over the burner. Run grill on high until you see smoke, then reduce heat to medium. If using a charcoal grill, preheat to medium. Just before cooking, toss the wood chips on the coals.
