Food Network 4 in 1 Grill

One of my favorite chefs is Chef Bobby Flay and I wanted to cook some of his recipes. Surprise... most of his recipes require a grill. I live in an apartment so a gigantic, awesome grill is out of the question. I thought about going with one of those small Weber grills, but they cost a small fortune. (They are pretty cool though).

Instead I decided to go with an electric indoor grill. I went looking around for the Sanyo one I read about but I couldn't find it anywhere. My last stop was Kohls and I saw Food Network has a line of cooking things there. I decided to get their 4 in 1 grill and at $60 off how could I go wrong? Next, what recipe? I had been sitting on this recipe for a while... Red Chile Turkey Breast with Succotash Salsa.

I was so wore out looking for my electric grill that I didn't get to the grocery store for the igredients. But I really wanted to use the new grill. Then it hit me... if I am going to call myself a hack chef... I might as well live up to the name. And so I hacked up the recipe.

First the salsa was out of the question. I had none of the produce for that. Instead my side would be couscous. Boring I know.

Tablespoons became teaspoons
1/4 cups became 2 tablespoons
Turkey became chicken
Light brown sugar became sugar and maple syrup
Peanut oil became vegetable oil
Seasame oil became tamari
Ground fennel became whole fennel mashed with a screwdriver handle
pureed canned chipotles became chipolte powder
ancho chile powder became spoked paprika

and...

voila!


And in case you want to hear that sizzle...


It was pretty good. Actually really good. I can't wait to make it the right way!
