THE BEST MIXED GRILL

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Marinade:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  • Divide the marinade between the meats, vegetables, and optionally, fruits. Let them marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator, or preferably overnight for more flavor.

2. Preheat the Grill:

  • Preheat your grill to a medium-high heat. Ensure the grill is clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.

3. Grill the Meats:

  • Start with the meats that take the longest to cook, such as chicken thighs and lamb chops. Grill them for about 6-8 minutes per side or until they reach the desired level of doneness.
  • Add the beef skewers and pork sausages, grilling for about 3-4 minutes per side for the skewers and turning the sausages occasionally until evenly browned and cooked through.
  • If using, grill the seafood towards the end, as shrimp and fish fillets take only a few minutes per side.

4. Grill the Vegetables and Fruits:

  • Place the vegetables and fruits on the grill, turning occasionally. They should take about 5-10 minutes to cook, depending on the size and thickness. Aim for a nice char on the outside while keeping them tender on the inside.

5. Serve:

  • Arrange the grilled meats, seafood (if using), vegetables, and fruits on a large platter. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve with lemon wedges and a selection of dips on the side.

Tips:

  • Timing is Key: Pay close attention to cooking times to ensure everything comes off the grill at its best.
  • Rest the Meat: Allow the meats to rest for a few minutes after grilling to redistribute the juices.
  • Temperature Control: Maintain a consistent temperature on the grill to ensure even cooking.
  • Experiment: Feel free to substitute meats, vegetables, and fruits based on preference or availability.

Enjoy your mixed grill feast with family and friends, accompanied by your favorite sides and beverages for a truly memorable meal.
