Recommended Grilled Alton Brown Fruit
Mastering the grill means knowing how to cook more than just meat and kebabs. Get creative and add some fruit in there. The warmth caramelizes the natural sugar and enhances the flavor.
Alton Brown has an excellent list of firm-fleshed fruits that handle grilled heat well without getting mushy:
- Grapefruit
- Peaches
- A pineapple
- mango
- Bananas (peeled)
- Melon
While Alton Brown seems to prefer grilled fruit for dessert (and you can marinate yours for extra flavor ), you can also use grilled fruit for savory dishes. For example, you can use grilled melon in a feta herb salad, or use grilled peaches to add smoky sweetness to salsa.
