The Wood-fired Issue

Fall is the perfect time of year for wood-fired grilling. The warmth of the open flame is welcomed as cooler breezes blow. Fall is also the time when we crave richer flavors and heartier meals – wood-fired cooking at its best. We’ve prepared the entire meal using cherry wood in the Kalamazoo Gaucho Grill, and I know you’ll love these recipes.

Cheers,

Grilled Kale Salad with Goat Cheese Polenta

This is the perfect salad to prepare on the Kalamazoo Gaucho Grill, and kale has never tasted so good! Brushed with garlic oil and grilled over a wood fire, it develops earthy flavors as the leaves turn crispy around the edges. Goat cheese polenta is grilled as well, for a delightfully distinctive flavor. Blistered cherry tomatoes and maple vinaigrette add the perfect touch of sweetness.

Cherry Porter Glazed Duck with Pickled Persimmons

Wood-fired rotisserie duck is the real star here, but the deeply layered glaze and brightly flavored fresh pickles deserve high praises. Tart cherry juice and a rich American porter are reduced with honey and spices for a glaze you’ll want to make over and over again. The persimmons add crunch and a sweet-tart profile for an amazingly well-rounded combination.

Campfire Harvest Bread Pudding

Campfire cooking in a Dutch oven is fun for the whole family, whether you are camping or not. Our Harvest Bread Pudding is just one great idea for campfire cooking inside the Kalamazoo Gaucho Grill. This luscious bread pudding is loaded with a harvest of pears, cranberries and walnuts, plus a cinnamon swirl for festive flavor. We lightly toast the bread over the wood fire before making the pudding for extra campfire essence.
