My kind of grillin'!

When it comes to grilling, I'm a bit of an amateur. It's no secret that I'm not really a fan of huge chunks of meat, no matter how they are cooked. But fear not, there are some amazing grilled dishes that manage to have meat as a component, rather then the main star. This is a simple dinner that everyone will love. Interesting combination that totally, totally works.
