Summer isn't done yet, and I love grilling. I have my favorites to grill (souvlaki, corn on the cob, potato wedges and veggies in foil packets)... but I am still struggling with meal timing.

I like to make whole meals on the grill.

Any advice? What do you guys like to make on the grill?
 

Best Meat for Stifado?

Most of the stifado (Greek meat stew) recipes that I have actually call of rabbit. I live in the United States and it is actually difficult to find rabbit, unless you know someone who hunts. Not only that, but I don't care for rabbit.

I have a friend who uses either beef or lamb for her stifado. I preferred the beef version. I want you guys to weigh in - what do you think is the best meat for stifado? Once I pick a meat to use, can I use the same recipe, and just use whichever meat I pick instead of the rabbit that is in my recipe?

Favorite Greek desserts?

Do you guys have a favorite Greek dessert? Here is my list, in no particular order:

- Diples
- Revani
- Ek mek kataifi (I need to learn how to make this!)
- Kourabedies
- Milopita

Fresh tomatoes in fasolakia?

I need help figuring something out.

Whenever I make Fasolakia, I usually use some sort of a canned tomato product like sauce, paste, or even diced or crushed tomatoes.

I have a bunch of fresh tomatoes I want to use this time instead and I have never done this before. Any advice?

Greek foods for September / October?

What do people traditionally eat in Greece in the months of September and October? Is it still sort of a summer growing season right now? I have a friend who just got back from Greece and said the markets were packed with all veggies and fruits we traditionally think comes from the summer months. She was in Crete and saw a lot of tomatoes, summer squash, other types of squash... she thinks she may have seen some pumpkins too.

Is this normal or is Crete on a different growing season since it is further south?

Grilling a whole chicken?

I have to feed a crowd soon and I decided to grill whole chickens... I am trying to figure out the best way to do it. I need to grill maybe 4-5 whole chickens. I don't have a spit.

I was thinking to butterfly them and marinate them in a ladolemono, then grill them until they're cooked, rotating them often. Do you think this will work?
