Vanns Grilling Herbs

    Vanns Grilling Herbs is a delightful, savory blend of tarragon, parsley, chervil, lemon, and pepper. You can sprinkle it directly on fish, chicken, turkey, pork, or shrimp before grilling, broiling, or baking. You can add olive oil alone, or olive oil and vinegar and lemon for a marinade. I really enjoy the following recipe for pork loin steaks.
     

Pork Loin Steaks

1 tablespoon olive oil 
2 tablespoons white wine
2 cloves garlic, mashed
1 tablespoon Vanns Grilling Herbs
1 pound of pork loin steaks

    
Combine in a bowl the olive oil, wine, garlic and herbs. Add the meat and stir to coat well. You can cook the meat right away but it gains flavor when left to marinate for a while. I usually give the meat an hour in the marinade. Grill, broil, or pan fry. I grill the steaks over high heat for 5 minutes on each side. Finish off with a few grinds of sea salt and black pepper.
    
    
Turkey meat balls or burgers using Vanns Grilling Herbs are delicious.
    
    

Turkey Meat Balls or Burgers

1 pound of ground turkey
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 garlic clove crushed or minced
2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup bread crumbs
3 tablespoons tomato juice
2 teaspoons Vanns Grilling Herbs
a few grinds of sea salt and black pepper

   
I use a food processor to chop the onion and make the bread crumbs. If the onion is strong smelling, after chopping, put the chopped onion in a strainer and rinse under cold water; it will wash off a lot of the sulfer for a sweeter taste. Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix well. 
Alternative cooking methods:
1. Form into 18 balls and place on a baking sheet sprayed with olive oil. Spray turkey balls with olive oil and bake for 15 minutes in a preheated oven at 450º. Serve with brown rice cooked in chicken broth. Make some extra to put in pasta sauce for dinner a day or so later.
2. Form into burger patties. Spray with olive oil and grill over high heat for 5 minutes on each side, then over medium heat for 5 more minutes. Serve with pita bread, mayonnaise, lettuce and tomato.
