Memorial Day Grill Healthy Recipes

05/25/12

Hello from The Hamptons!

I’ve been so busy launching my Total Reset Plan that I’ve left my blog readers hanging for a couple of weeks. That’s not like me, but a girl’s gotta sleep!

I promise I’ll get back on track with blogging soon but in the meantime, I couldn’t let you go into Memorial Day weekend without any healthy recipes for your grill.

This lentil burger recipe is one of my favorites and it also makes an appearance on The Total Reset Plan.

Ingredients
3 cups water
2 cups lentils
1 medium onion, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons tamari soy sauce
1 tablespoon umeboshi vinegar

Directions
Boil water. Add lentils, reduce heat to simmer and cook uncovered for 40 minutes until lentils become soft and lose their shape. While lentils are cooking, sauté onion and garlic in olive oil for 10 minutes. Add garlic and continue sautéing another 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and set aside with remaining ingredients.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees (skip this step if you plan to grill the burgers). When the lentils are finished, transfer to large mixing bowl and cool in freezer for 10 minutes. Remove from freezer and add all other ingredients and mix well. Use a hand mixer or blender to combine into a chunky paste (Note: not all ingredients need to be combined until smooth, there should be whole lentils still visible. Form into patties, 4 inches in diameter and ¾-inch thick. Place patties on a lightly oiled cookie sheet and cook 10-15 minutes in the oven or throw on the grill.

I’m also totally obsessed with grilling fruit. Whole Living has a picture-perfect recipe for Grilled Stone Fruit in this month’s issue.

I also love grilled pineapple.

Ingredients
2 pounds assorted plums, peaches, and nectarines (halved and pitted)
Olive oil
Greek yogurt

Directions
Heat grill to medium-high. Drizzle plums, peaches, and nectarines with olive oil and grill, cut sides down, until juicy and charred, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove with a metal spatula and serve with a dollop of yogurt.

P.S. I would omit the yogurt.

Happy, Healthy Grilling!
