Recommendations for a party?

Unknown

Hello to All,[p]I need some recommendations for "party" food to be prepared on my BGE. All I can come up with is ribs and wings, which is OK, but I'd like something different too. Time is no factor.[p]Thx in advance,[p]- Rick

Wise One

Rick - SC, ABT's (or as I call them Atomic Buffalo Pods) or Scallops wrapped in bacon are always big hits. Go to the submitted recipes and look for these two.

Rick - SC,
Lot's to choose from. Try different kinds of wings, hot wings, asain wings, jerk wings. Yes, ABT's are a great snack and novelty item for a party. Bacon wrapped shrimp or scallops are fine too.
Recently at the eggtoberfest, I think Mr. Toad was cooking up some mini shiskabobs that consisted of a pineapple chunk and soem cubed pork, very yummy

Pickled watermelon rinds wrapped in bacon are a neat appetizer to serve. Some italian sausage cooked with peppers and onions (all marinated in italian dressing), would also be something different. [p]~nikki

Rick - SC,[p]As you can see, you can wrap just about anything in bacon and have a great appetizer. However, I just tried the watermelon rinds - VERY sweet and sticky. I won't do those again.[p]Here are a couple more ideas - from the sublime to the ridiculous, but both are excellent.[p]Lee[p]BLUE CHEESE STUFFED FIGS

30 fresh figs
¼ lb. high quality blue cheese, not crumbled
1 c. port wine
pancetta or prosciutto slices (or bacon)[p]In a small saucepan, over high heat, reduce the port to ¼ its original volume. Slice the figs nearly in half by starting at the rounded end and cutting toward the stem. Stop cutting just before the beginning of the stem. Gently open the fig, still keeping it connected at the stem end. With your finger, make an indentation in the center of the fig. Pour in a few drops of the reduced port. Insert a small piece of blue cheese and replace the other half of the fig so that the fig looks as it originally did. Wrap the fig with a piece of pancetta. Grill the fig on a moderate grill until it is soft, the cheese has begun to melt and the pancetta is done.[p]GRAPE JELLY MEATBALLS[p]1 bag small frozen meatballs
(40 to 50 count)
1 large (11-12 oz) jar grape jelly
1 jar chili sauce (about the same size)[p]Prepare the meatballs according to
directions on the bag, drain when cooked.
Mix the grape jelly and the chili sauce
together in a disposable foil pan, and add
meatballs. Cook 250-300 pit until hot and sauce becomes a broth. Can substitute mini franks or kielbasa slices for meatballs.[p]Put out toothpicks for serving.[p]

Rick - SC,[p]Pork tenderloins - cook, slice like a bananna, and stick a toothpick in them and serve. Enjoy[p]Tim

QSis,[p]I've had the grape jelly chili sauce meatballs and they were pretty good but those figs with the blue cheese, prosciutto and reduced port sound downright amazing.
Got the printer rolling on that one.
Thanks for that... now where to find fresh figs...[p]WD

Freak

Rick - SC,[p]I accidentally posted this under the wrong thread - must have been past my bedtime.[p]Marinated and grilled eggplant, yellow squash, portobello mushrooms are usually a hit. Marinade is usually oil, balsamic vinger, salt pepper, herbs, maybe a little crushed red pepper, garlic, etc.[p]Grilled sliced potatos are different and people love them. You can score some novelty points because a lot of folks don't grill potates and think it's a cool idea. Coat them with oil and salt and pepper. Maybe some of that fancy French salt. :-) Actually that stuff is great, but expeeeensive.[p]-Tom

Hi Nikkig,[p]Do you make or buy the pickled watermelon rinds?[p]- Rick

Rick - SC,
I bought mine while on vacation in Louisiana this summer. Here in West Virginia, people look at you real strange when you ask for them. I did find some in Ohio's Amish country which is only a couple hours from here though. If you want to make your own, I know there are several recipes on the internet. The ones I have now are "Gourmet Award Sweet Pickled Watermelon Rind". A 10oz. jar cost about $2.00.[p]~nikki
