I have no end of ideas and suggestions from this wonderful forum about cooking meat. [p]Does anyone have good resources for side dishes to go with the meat. I am tiring of the same old salad, baked potatoe's, etc.[p]Thanks

    YB,
    Your tomato pies are eggcellent! Here at the Appledog's we use Swiss cheese + basil in lieu of the cheddar. We remove the skins from the tomatoes, cut them in half & squeeze out the seeds and stuff. JCA

    Hanker'n2Grill,
    A summer favorite here are small potatoes:
    Take a pan that can go on the egg, like a cake pan or cast iron skillet, and cover the bottom with olive oil then then a good amount of Kosher salt. Then add a layer of basil or rosemary. Next add new potatoes, cut in half, cut side down. Cook on BGE about 400 degrees until browned. Sometimes I grate Parmesan or Pecorino on top before serving. If you have more people increase the amounts and use a bigger pan. JCA
