I need ideas of simple things to grill that can be prepared without a kitchen.
We had a leak in the wall behind our kitchen sink. There were floods, so for a couple of weeks I had a kitchen but no sink. Seeing we had to rip the whole sink unit out, and that I had been promised a new kitchen eight years ago which never materialized, we ripped the whole kitchen out, at the end of March. We now have the cupboards, but no countertop, floor or backsplash - everything has been d.r.a.g.g.e.d.out. Although I love my IKEA cupboards, we're not impressed with the installation, and are still waiting for someone to turn up to do the last little bit.
To make everything more complicated, I had knee replacement surgery four weeks ago, so couldn't do much. We have eaten all my prepared frozen meals stashed in the freezer. I tried some ready meals from Costco - the curry was good, the lamb shanks very bland. DH doesn't like prepared foods, or takeout, but is prepared to grill on our gas grill whenever asked to.
So we have eaten steak, Portuguese marinated steak sandwiches, pork chops, lamb chops quite often. Tonight we tried chicken breast with Sunny Paris, which was very good. Can you suggest anything else that I can prepare without a kitchen, a sink and with minimal implements? DH doesn't approve of burgers, and I can't figure out a way to make mashed potatoes to go with sausages. Are the chilled mashed potatoes any good? I've never tried them. We do have a microwave.
I forgot - we also do mahi mahi and tuna.
Suggestions will be most appreciated.
