If you use cheese. Grate it, it'll melt more evenly. But, uther than that. Sounds good. Maybe I'll give it a go as well next time I do them.

Try, the yoghurt thingy. If you love garlic, it's excelent. Even, make a tester use half a cuke and just reduce everything by half.

Courgette & Cracked Bulgar Wheat Salad
This delicious recipe makes the most of summer's courgettes (zucchini) and cracked bulgar wheat is a delicious, nutty companion to the creamy smoothness of the courgettes. It also works well with couscous or quinoa, if you prefer.



Ingredients
½ cup cracked bulgar wheat
2-3 medium courgettes (zucchini)
2-3 medium carrots
1 medium onion
1 clove garlic
50g (2 oz) Cheddar (hard) cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ stock cube



Method
Put the cracked bulgar wheat in a bowl and cover with twice its voume of boiling water. Cover with a clean cloth and leave for 25 minutes, until the water has been absorbed and the bulgar wheat is fluffy.

Meanwhile, warm the olive oil in a pan. Peel and chop the onion. Saute in the oil for 5 minutes.

Peel and crush the garlic clove. Scrub (or peel) and finely chop the carrots. Add to the onion and saute for 5 minutes. Stir often so they don't burn.

Grate the courgettes (or slice finely). Grate the cheese. When the carrots are soft, add the courgettes and cheese to the pan. Mix well, put the lid on and leave until the bulgar wheat is ready.

When the bulgar wheat is cooked, add it to the pan and mix well. Serve immediately.

Tomato And Avocado Salad
Late summer is a time when many veg box schemes and home veg growers have a glut of tomatoes. If you’ve got some that are really ripe and full of flavour, then this simple salad is really delicious.



Ingredients

4-6 medium tomatoes
2 spring onions (optional)
1 ripe avocado
200g lettuce leaves (any combination)
Dressing (optional)

1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
Juice of &fract12; lemon (optional)
1 tablespoon olive oil
&fract12; teaspoon runny honey
Handful mixed summer herbs, chopped (e.g. parsley & chives)

Wash the tomatoes and spring onions.


Chop the tomatoes roughly. Slice the spring onions.


Peel the avocado and remove the stone.


Chop the avocado flesh into small chunks.


Wash the lettuce leaves and dry well.


Mix all the dressing ingredients together, until well combined (a small screw-top jar is the easiest way to do this).


Mix all the salad ingredients together and drizzle the dressing on top. Serve immediately.

Marinade sliced zuchinni, red peppers and vidalia onions in a balsamic vinaigrette, then grill them on the barbie, with the steaks. Your steaks are huge, so you would want to wait til they are almost done before you cook the veggies. Just a thought man

[Wes Gear]

damn slith that sounds good. i am a huge balsamic vinegar fan. so i would eat an old shoe properly marinated in it.

sadly the cookout has been canceled due to a family matter. we hope to try again soon.

[spock]

You're sister must have read your remark concerning the mysterious 7 Bean layered salad, and blown up.


Slith - that was kind of what I was going to propose very simple and great with grilled meat.

Pearl onions, yellow squash, zucchini and mushrooms.

I like to marinade them over night in Wishbone Italian Dressing or a good baslamic vinegar dressing, then put the on skewers.

Interesting how you mention simple. That's what I was taught in school. To keep it simple and basic. Pearlies are great. I love em pickled. Mushrooms I die for, marinated portabella is best for the barbecue, but porcinnis or cepes over a fire can take you into the next time zone. Absolutely amazing

[Wes Gear]

mmmmmmmmmm.........wishbone italian dressing........another mixture i could marinade almost anything in and eat it.

i'll have you know my sister is fully aware of my distaste for her 7 layer mystery salad. some things are just so horrible that you have to speak out!
