Grilled Pizza with Sausage, Onions and Peppers

Oh man, you NEED to try this. I can't do whole wheat tortillas usually, but this way can't be beat. And it is super quick and easy. We were thinking it would make an awesome appetizer at a BBQ as well. Plus, the topping possibilities are endless.

Grilled Pizza with Sausage, Onions and Peppers (from WW website)
Serves 4

* 1 small red onion(s), cut into thin slivers
* 1 small yellow pepper(s), cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
* 1/2 cup pizza sauce, or tomato sauce
* 4 medium whole wheat tortilla(s)
* 1 tsp dried oregano
* 3/4 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
* 3 oz turkey Italian sausage

Preheat an outdoor grill to medium (or a grill pan over medium-high heat). Place sausage, onion and pepper on grill in a grill basket; cook, flipping once, until sausage is golden and vegetables start to brown, about 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from grill and set aside until ready to use.

To prepare pizzas, spread 2 tablespoons of sauce on each tortilla. Sprinkle each with 1/4 teaspoon of dried oregano and then top each with 1/4 of sausage-vegetable mixture; top each with 3 tablespoons of cheese.

Place pizzas on grill (or as many as will fit on grill pan at one time) and cook until edges begin to brown, about 3 to 5 minutes; rotate pizzas. Continue cooking until cheese is bubbly, about 2 to 4 minutes more. (If all 4 pizzas do not fit on grill pan at once, repeat with remaining ingredients.) Yields 1 pizza per serving.

Grilled Trout

Ok, so speaking of summer and grilling....

I have a friend at work that has picked me as the person to unload his trout catch upon. His last trip to Canyon Ferry lake was a good one apparently and he caught 30-some rainbow trout. These trout feed on fresh-water shrimp all year long, so their meat is a reddish color, like salmon. Now, I'm not a fish eater at all, but I am told that this recipe is a pretty good one. Plus, it's an excuse to use the grill! I imagine this would work very well over the campfire too.

(Now, the trout I grill is a whole fish and it's about 2 to 3 lbs, so for the sake of figuring out points, the recipe just says 32 oz of the fish. But, since we're stuffing it and not cooking the fillets, just read it as one whole fish. So, to figure out points when serving, it's basically 5 points for every 6 or 7 oz fillet. Completely confused yet? Also...I remove the head before I cook it, but I know some weirdos like to eat the trout cheeks, so do whatever floats your boat. )

Grilled Stuffed Trout
Serves: 6

• 32 oz raw rainbow trout
• 1/2 medium onion(s), sliced
• 1 tsp garlic clove(s), minced
• 2 tsp lemon pepper
• 5 sprays olive oil cooking spray
• 1 Tbsp butter, sliced into thin pats
  
• 1 tsp table salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 medium lemon(s), sliced
• 1 Tbsp dried parsley

Take whole, cleaned trout and stuff with onions, lemon garlic and pats of butter. Season with parsley, lemon pepper, salt and pepper. Lay on piece of aluminum foil that has been sprayed with olive oil spray and sprinkled with lemon pepper. If there is remaining onions and/or lemon, just throw remainders in foil on outside of fish. Wrap fish up tightly in foil.
Put fish on grill over medium to medium high heat. Cook for 7-10 minutes and turn over for another 7-10 minutes (depending on size of trout). Take off grill when meat becomes flakey and before it becomes mushy.
To serve, carefully remove skin and bones and place on platter, trying to keep fillets intact. Garnish with onions, garlic and lemon from stuffing. (Unless you're camping, then just throw the whole fish at them and tell them to de-bone it themselves. Oh, and maybe give them a fork or a stick to help them out a bit.)
