Easy George Foreman Grill RecipesCooking Tomatoes & Asparagus On The George Foreman Grill

My name is Brandon Sarkis on behalf of Expert
Village. Today, I am going to show you how to use a George Foreman Grill to make something
besides grilled cheese sandwiches and hot dogs. I am taking the asparagus and placed
it in a stainless bowl as brushing this asparagus would be way too difficult so I am just going
to sit here and coat it like this. A bit of olive oil.

Go ahead and take my salt and pepper
right on top of this and now I am going to show you how to cook two things at once. So
I am just going to sit here and toss this around and make sure that the oil coats it
evenly. Not too much oil. If you put too much oil in there, it is going to burn on the outside
and is going to taste kind of disgusting.

All right so there is all of our asparagus
and let's get it on the grill. I'll open up my grill, take a couple slices of tomato here.
Can't really beat grilled tomatoes. Put those over there. You don't need to put any oil
on the tomatoes.

I guess I'll put a little on there. It won't hurt anybody. Some salt
there. Once again, pepper.

Now we are going to throw our asparagus on. The idea here is
that the asparagus and the tomatoes are going to cook at approximately the same rate because
the asparagus are so small and the tomatoes are so delicate. So both of these you cook
and I would say about three minutes we will be ready to go with both of them. So you can
really load up the asparagus because what is going to happen the asparagus is going
to heat up and the asparagus is going to start steaming and it will steam itself if it doesn't
grill completely.

Put the lid on here, give it a little squish and I am going to come
back here in a couple of minutes and we are going to have some really awesome grilled
asparagus with tomatoes. All right it's been about three minutes. Let's open this up. Look
at that, that looks awesome.

Nice bright green grilled asparagus. Sacrifice that piece I
guess. Also using some heat resistant rubber coated tongs, silicone tongs. These are actually
recommended using for the Foreman grill because they won't mark the surface or anything.

Over
here my tomato. Looks a little smashed; get the special spatula that comes with the Foreman
grill. Grilled tomatoes are a little hard to work with because they tend to lose their
shape. What you want to do usually, that one kind of fell apart.

What you usually want
to do is get some tomatoes that are a little harder than usual because as you heat them
up, they are going to lose all their firmness and get a little mushy..
