Fruit and chili pepper salsa, like mangoes and jalapenos, or pineapple, tomatillo and poblanos. It's a terrific splash of zingy refreshment that compliments deep smoky bbq flavors.

Cook the Book: 'Roast Chicken and Other Stories'
As a kid I was often shipped to Wisconsin for the summer, where all the Grands lived. We visited a farm of a friend. I was hanging with the farm kids, having a good time with the animals. Later in the afternoon the mother told one of the older boys to get a chicken ready. He deftly grabbed a brown and white one by the neck and spun it in the air like a lasso, deacapitating it, headless body running around the pen leaking blood from it's neck. It was an education to say the least.

How do you grill when you don't have a grill?
Add my "NO" to the George Foreman grill. It's okay for some hotdogs, but definitely no good for steaks. I don't even want to tell you about the grey, steamed NY sirloin that was ruined by the GF grill...it's just too painful.
Anywho, my experiences with the indoor, stove top, grill pans, like you see used on the FN, produce copious amounts of smoke. Good grill marks, good color and flavor, but lots of smoke. The advice above to finish cooking in the oven is smart, but handling a hot grill pan doesn't sound like fun. So if you have a poor vent/hood, I would skip it and go to the park with a little Smokey Joe or mini-Weber.
How do you grill when you don't have a grill?
I'll use my George Foreman for fajita chicken, but that's basically it. I wouldn't put red meat on it, definitely not hot enough and you miss that smoky flavor and charring! I'm in a similar situation, and have been grilled food-free so far this summer :( except for occasional visits to the parents'. Maybe I'll have to invest in one of those grill pans, except I have a stupid electric stove, will it work okay?
How do you grill when you don't have a grill?
Go to a park where grills are available to all.
How do you grill when you don't have a grill?
So, essentially, if you're into the *flavor* of grilling, e.g., kiawe, mesquite, charcoal, versus form, you're SOL w/o an outdoor grill or hibachi. :(
How do you grill when you don't have a grill?
love love the Delonghi indoor healthy grill... I bought the one with the glass cover though, to retain moisture (avoid the smoke alarm) and cook faster. I did a lot of research first... glad i bought it. Paid $79 Amazon or Macys.
