What to do with all those garden cukes? Now is the time to Tzatziki. A creamy appetizer that can be used as a dip, spread or condiment. Serve with warm pita, bread or vegetables. Or, use as a topping on Gyros and grilled: fish --- meats --- and shellfish.

Grill Skewers

Tune-in GHL Tuesdays and Thursdays on Create TV beginning July 14th

George Hirsch Know Your Fire Fridays

Forty years ago people were afraid to enter the water at the beach... the movie Jaws has had an everlasting effect since. But I say - no worries, just skewer and marinate. Today, I'll opt for grilling swordfish which is ideal when topped with a highly seasoned marinade for flavoring, not tenderizing. The fish is marinated for under 30 minutes making for a quick fix from kitchen to grill.  

Have a great weekend!

Use this vinaigrette as a marinade for vegetables, meats, or seafood and as a basic vinaigrette for salad greens.

Chef George's Grilling Vinaigrette

makes about 1 cup | from  George Hirsch Living it UP! cookbook

 chefgeorgehirsch.com

1/2 cup tomato or vegetable juice

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

1 Tablespoon horseradish

2 Tablespoons pitted green olives, chopped

4 cloves Caramelized Garlic

1 green onion, chopped

1 teaspoon dry mustard

1 teaspoon dried basil

1 teaspoon hot sauce

Fresh ground black pepper

Combine all the ingredients until well blended. Cover and alow the vinaigrette to sit at room temperature for 2 to 3 hours.

How does one celebrate the annual Canadian Birthday? If you are in Toronto CA possibly by combining Canadian flavors between the bun.

Ultimate Canada Burger

Dubbed the “Ultimate Canada Burger” it is a fresh grind of one beef patty topped with a Nova Scotia lobster, Ontario smoke house bacon and if you haven’t guessed by now Quebec maple syrup. The bacon is infused with maple syrup, the lobster claw is dipped in maple syrup, and the sandwich also has a maple spread.

Walk, don’t run. You will have to enjoy this special Anniversary patty today as its only available at The Burger’s Priest locations on July 1st. Or, if you are gearing up for the American July 4th celebration you can make it a Sloppy holiday!
