Best Grilled Abalone Steak And Fruit Skewers Recipes

GRILLED ABALONE WITH PAPAYA SAUCE

Steps:

• To make the marinade, microwave lime in a small bowl to release essential oils, and set aside until cool enough to handle. Through the feed opening of a running blender add, 1 at a time, half of the papaya (reserving the other half), chile pepper, vinegar, salt and pepper. Then with the blender still running, squeeze in the juice from the microwaved lime.
• Place abalone in a nonreactive container, pour marinade over, cover and refrigerate for 6 to 8 hours.
• Heat grill.
• Use marinade to make a sauce by adding it to a pan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and let reduce and thicken. In a small bowl, create a slurry by gradually adding 1 tablespoon water to cornstarch. Whisk slurry into sauce, and add reserved papaya slices and papaya seeds. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, remove from heat, cover and keep warm.
• Grill abalone over medium-high heat until opaque. Remove from heat and let rest.
• Serve with sauce and sprinkle with chopped cilantro.

GRILLED FRUIT SKEWERS WITH SPICY MAPLE CUMIN GLAZE

Steps:

• Build a charcoal fire for direct grilling. Soak the bamboo skewers in a bowl of water and set aside.
• Combine the glaze ingredients in a medium bowl and mix well. Add the fruit and toss gently to coat with the glaze. Cover and refrigerate.
• Thread the fruit on the soaked skewers, alternating each fruit type. Place the skewers on the grill and cook directly over medium-high heat for 1 1/2 minutes on each side, or until browned and caramelized. Serve warm.
