Delicious Condiments You Can Make from the Garden that Compliment Grilled Meats


Posted On July 24, 2020


Do you have a ton of garden herbs or vegetables that you’re not sure how to enjoy them all? Well, here are a few quick ways to enjoy those delicious morsels with any of your favourite summer grilled meats.


  1. Traditional Chimichurri
    Chimichurri is traditionally made from very finely chopped parsley and is a delicious topping to any grilled meat! So put that garden parsley to use with this simple recipe: ¾ cup finely chopped flat leaf parsley + ½ cup good quality olive oil + 2 tbsp red or white wine vinegar + 2-3 minced garlic cloves + coarse salt + pepper. Add in other seasonings too like oregano or red pepper flakes if you so desire.
  2. Herby Condiment

    Mix and match any number of garden herbs for this tasty herby dressing that is perfect for grilled steaks and chicken!

    1/2 cup of finely chopped mixed herbs (oregano, parsley, thyme, rosemary)

    1/2 cup high quality olive oil

    2 garlic cloves, minced

    Salt & pepper to taste

    Optional: Steak juices

  3. Quick Pickled Vegetables

    Quick-pickling vegetables is another way to enjoy the bounty from your home garden. Try pickled vegetables on grilled chicken or steak tacos; as a side to italian sausages; or, on grilled steak sandwiches. The combinations are endless! Here’s a quick pickling recipe to try:

    1 cup vegetables, sliced (try radishes, carrots, cucumbers or onions)

    1 cup vinegar (distilled white or red wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar)

    1 tbsp sugar

    2 tsp salt

    Mix vinegar mixture in a glass bowl or large glass container. Add vegetables. Stir or shake a few times and let sit for 1 hour, shaking a couple of times throughout the hour.
