Dads Are Thrilled With the Grill



Father’s Day is fast approaching (it’s June 20), and one of the best ways to Dad’s heart is through his stomach! Why not celebrate Father’s Day (and summer!) with some delicious grilled foods.

GRILLING VEGETABLES
There are lots of locally grown and fresh vegetables available in our store now, and many of these items taste great grilled. Try slicing an onion thickly and grilling it to sweet perfection. Or halve some peppers, seed them, and toss them on. Corn is delicious grilled (keep it in the husk and soak in water for 10 minutes before), and asparagus is also yummy on the grill. You can even peel and quarter beets and try them on the grill, too.
We have a huge selection of squash now, including zucchini, ronde de Nice, cocozelle, golden zucchini, cousa, yellow crookneck, scallopini, Peter Pan, butter scallop, and sunburst. Try chopping and grilling several kinds of squash for a delicious, colorful, and healthy side to your summer meals.

SAUCES FOR GRILLING MEAT
Here at Newcastle Produce, we have a host of grilling sauces to help you make your grilling a success. For a hot and spicy grilling experience, try the many offerings from Judicial Flavors. (You can stop in for a tasting of the whole line on June 19.)

Our new products from Tulocay’s Made in Napa Valley were so popular that we now carry a few new ones to tempt your appetite. Try their Tangerine Sesame Shanghai Marinade & Dipping Sauce, Chiles & Lime Baja Marinade & Dipping Sauce, or the Chiles & Citrus Yucatan Marinade & Dipping Sauce. All three of these are great marinades for meat, chicken, or fish before you grill it.

Another delicious marinade is Snow’s Citrus Court Mandarin Marinade. Try this for a unique teriyaki-style flavor on chicken.

DON’T FORGET DESSERT
This year, there is a bumper crop of summer fruit, and it makes the best dessert: simple, healthy, and delicious. Right now, we have local apricots, peaches, nectarines, figs, cherries, red raspberries, and plums. Stop in and treat your family tonight.
