Woodfired Mixed Grill

Your "pizza" or "bread oven" isn't just for pizza and bread... This past summer, we had some friends over and made lots of appetizers, pizza, and ended with a mixed grill.

This mixed grill includes NY Steak, Pork Loin Chops, Sausage, Potatoes, and Butternuts Squash.

I show the timing and methods in this video.  Meat doneness is up to you.
FGpizza items included in this video are the Cast Iron Side Dishes,  the Tuscan Grill, and the Foccacia Pans (where we roasted the potatoes and squash).
Shrimp Fra 'Diavolo

This dish is a pleaser.   Spicy. Saucy.  And... well... Shrimpy. Serves as a great appetizer but can definitely stand on its own as an entree.

The basic idea is to make a really spicy marinara sauce and cook your shrimp in it. This video is a quickie, but you will get the idea.

Roasted Organic Chicken Under Brick in a Woodfired Oven.

Cooking chicken under a brick? Are you serious Frankie G? Well yes I am. The Italian have been doing this for years, and it produces a wonderful crispy skin, and contrary to one's belief, a very juicy bird.

I am using my favorite "GO-TO" marinade for chicken. Fresh lemon, garlic, Italian parsley, sea salt, black pepper, and olive oil. It is really a bright, wonderfully fresh and delicious marinade and compliments chicken very well. I use organic chicken (you can tell by the yellow skin) and it really makes a difference.

The tip with this is technique is to keep your heat source coals only. If the coals are too hot, it could flame up when the fat from the meat falls to the coals, and that you do not want.
Cook time depends upon the size of your bird and will vary - use your good judgement. Mine was around 3.75# - 4# and took about 30 minutes or so. Temperature should be checked where the thigh joins the leg, and mid breast. If the chicken is removed at an internal temperature of 150 and you cover the bird with foil, its internal temperature will rise to 165 after a 10-12 minute rest.

Woodfired Eggplant Stacks


This Eggplant recipe is another family favorite.  We prefer it to traditional eggplant parmigiana because it is not fried, and roasting the eggplant in the woodfired oven prior to making this recipe brings out the wonderful, natural flavor of the eggplant.  Try it, we bet you will prefer it also! 
FGpizza items included in this video are the ".75 Liter" Oilera Tradizionale, and the 1/4 Sheet Pans.
Woodfired Roasted Cauliflower

This dish is so easy and produces great results. Serve as a side dish, toss it with pasta, top pizza with it, eat it cold or at any temperature. You and your guests will love it.

Roasting vegetables produces a vegetable with intense flavors. The result of this recipe produces a spicy flavor, with a welcome twist from the capers.

Make sure you top the end-product at the table with fruity extra virgin olive oil.

Stuffed Zucchini in a Woodfired Oven.

At the end of summer, the zucchini goes crazy!  Overnight one can find an extra big zucchini, and my mom knew just what to do with it.  Stuff it!

As with most Italian recipes, measurements of ingredients are pretty much nonexistent but you will get a good idea of the preparation and cooking method until the recipe is posted to our page.

Woodfired Roasted Vegetables

 Roasting vegetables brings our their natural sweetness. We roast them, and serve them for appetizers, use them in pannini or pasta, on pizza, etc.

This video gives you an idea of the method of roasting veggies in a woodfired oven. We season them with just sea salt, black pepper and extra virgin olive oil. Herbs can be used, we like thyme with mushrooms, and seeds like fennel or cumin can be experimented with. But a good rule of thumb is to keep it as simple as possible and let the vegetable shine.
