My Horizontal Breakfast

Not breakfast in bed... (I wish!)...breakfast on the horizontal... :)


Sometimes I use my horizontal for grilling.. I love it, there is so much grilling surface..

I started a skillet of potatoes and onions first..

then made the hollandaise sauce...

whisked three egg yolks with a squeeze of lemon juice... then added butter 1 tbs at a time.

after the sauce had thickened, I removed the pot from the fire..



grilled slices of ham...



fresh gathered eggs ...



fried the eggs and toasted the english muffins....

I slid the cooking grate to the side, off the fire to snap a pic. (didn't want to burn anything. :))









It was so tasty, reminded me of breakfast while camping. :)

Some Grilled Fish Tacos

I love these things. Sometimes I smoke the fish but this time I decided to fire up the grill...


I made my chipotle slaw...
Mix 1/2 cup of mayo
1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, chopped (you can use more)
some chopped onion
salt to taste
a squeeze of lime juice
and 1 bag of pre-shredded cabbage
chill while grilling the fish

Made my pico de gallo...

onions

jalapenos

garlic

tomatoes

cilantro

lime juice and salt

I have a new toy... a Grill Grate... :) If you get the chance check them out at Big Poppa's site..

Placed the fish on the grate...

The fish I used this time was swai... I've never tasted these before, but heard that they were fairly mild in flavor.

The Grill Grate comes with a special spatula that fits down into the grooves and lifts the food without breaking. (just what I need for fish fillets. :))



I olive oiled the fillets and seasoned them with lemon pepper ...




... heated the tortillas...




I had to taste some of the fish while the rest were grilling...
It wasn't half bad. A light flavor, white and flaky...

The grilled fish taco with chipotle slaw, pico and a squeeze of fresh lime.

It was tasty!!
