Recipe of the day

Today is all about grilling. Whether it is indoors or out. The summer is all about outdoor grilling there is nothing like the smell and taste of that smoky flavor that can only come from the grill. Well it does not have to be summer for you to have that flavorful meal. Rachel Ray shows us how to grill and get the same flavors in our very own kitchen. She took a twist on a Spanish meal today by creating grilled shrimp and chorizo skewers with a paquillo pepper dip. Two flavors that are very commonly used in spanish cooking is chorizo, which is a smoky and spicy sausage, it is most commonly found in paella or gumbo, and paquillo peppers which are slightly sweet so it balances out the sausage. Along side of these skewers she makes her own take on a panini. She makes a charred ham and cheese melt with a hot olive relish. She used a typical spanish cheese known as manchego, and instead of regular ham that we are used to she uses serrano ham. These sandwiches are topped with an olive tapenade then pressed and grilled. Today's recipe may seem complicated to make because of all of the ingredients, but most of these ingredients are readily available in the regular grocery store. Enjoy summer in the middle of winter by cooking up this amazing grilled meal. To enjoy this 30 minute meal click here.
