Now to Jazz Things Up…

We have a couple of distinctive condiments and a locally prepared rub featured below, all recommended for taking your cooking up a notch.

We also have a couple of grill-able cheeses(!) to suggest this week: Greek Halloumi and a domestic cheese from Carr Valley created in the same style. Both of these cheeses possess an impressively high melting point, and can be cooked over direct heat. Gently brush with olive oil and throw it directly onto the grill! It holds its shape as it turns golden brown and is the perfect addition to kebabs or served with a touch of lemon juice for a salty snack. Here is another twist on Grilled Halloumi Cheese.

Last but certainly not least, we have fabulous Yellow and White Nectarines for $3.99Lb. this week. If you haven’t grilled a nectarine or peach, you are in for a treat!  We have some great recipes for Grilled Peach Crostini, Grilled Nectarine and Goat Cheese Crostini and Grilled Peaches (or Nectarines) with Mascarpone and Honey.

We even have a recipe for switching up the watermelon listed above with a recipe for Spicy Smoky Grilled Watermelon!

• Stonewall Kitchen Aioli 10-10.25 oz. Jar, $4.99
• Modenaceti Balsamic Glaze 6.76 oz. Bottle, $5.99

So, there you have it. From the traditional to the adventurous, we’ve got you covered this week at Oliver’s. We hope we have properly enticed you to toast the summer season of delicious outdoor cooking, and maybe even grill something new.
