If you have purchased one, you would want to get started as soon as possible. In this blog, we will be sharing with you new food options that you can try with your Big Green Egg and enjoy!
1) Grilled Pork Chops And Pineapple
It is super healthy and only needs five ingredients to cook – peeled pineapple, pork chops, orange marmalade, plain Greek yogurt, and fresh thyme.
How To Make – Cut pineapple into 1/2 inch slices. Take trimmed pork chops and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place chops in the Big Green Egg to grill, and turn them over. Grill pineapple side by side. Brush chops with 1 tablespoon marmalade, and grill for 3-5 minutes more. When the pork is no longer pink, take it out on a plate and serve with pineapple and a yogurt and marmalade mixture.
2) Bacon-Wrapped Jalapeño Poppers
Perfect for necessary indulgence, bacon-wrapped jalapeno poppers combine the smokey flavor of bacon with the spiciness of jalapenos and make your taste buds explode.
How To Make – Take fresh jalapenos, cut them in half, and remove the insides. For the filling, take Italian sausage and cook it with chorizo for a few minutes. Cool the mixture and put the pan on one side. Take cream cheese (or any cheese you like) and combine it with sun-dried tomatoes, scallions, and meat. Fill each jalapeno with the mixture, wrap it with bacon, and cook in the Big Green Egg at about 350-400F.
3) Pistachio Pudding Cake
