I just picked some rhubarb. This is being made for the weekend. I have to give it away. Long story - AngAk1 - 12:07am on 08/06/15

Then after the 30 minutes you go ahead and grill it or roast it high?? [NT] - SallyBR - 8:53am on 08/06/15

Not necessary, but herb recipe recommends grilling...I just can't manage that. - MarilynFL - 8:59am on 08/06/15

Try the recipe grilled, as written, you are missing the wonderful smoked, crispyness of the whole - KarenNoCA - 10:11am on 08/06/15

I'm trying. Two grilling attempts, two failures. Batting ZERO on the grill front. [NT] - MarilynFL - 10:53am on 08/06/15
I tried it exactly as written.... - SallyBR - 10:53am on 08/06/15

Yes, I liked the flavor but the meat was tough--it was cooked twice. . . - mistral - 2:48pm on 08/06/15

We always par-cook our chicken before we put it on the grill - Lana in FL - 2:59pm on 08/06/15

The stove-top works fine without par-cooking. I noticed a slight difference [LINK] - MarilynFL - 7:06am on 08/07/15

I grilled directly over a very hot, new, charcoal fire, very briefly. . . - mistral - 3:49pm on 08/07/15

I must definitely try this! [NT] - Lana in FL - 2:57pm on 08/06/15

I hadn't thought of Brie either. I make a similar version with herb and garlic cheese and red wine - Curious1 - 5:05pm on 08/07/15

Make sure to tear the brie into nice size pieces--you want to have the pasta melt it slightly so - charlie - 8:09pm on 08/07/15

got home late last night and made almost this same dish only without - Pat-NoCal - 11:30pm on 08/07/15

Of course, I have about 15,000 recipes, think I'll live long enough? Here are what I have... - Curious1 - 7:47pm on 08/07/15

Those all sound great but they all use cream of coconut not - orchid - 8:09pm on 08/07/15

Oops, I misunderstood which product. I wonder if it's possible to thin it out, use as coconut milk? [NT] - Curious1 - 9:37pm on 08/07/15

Just saw Karen's thread. That is probably your answer. [NT] - Curious1 - 9:40pm on 08/07/15

Can you copy the recipe? I have some peaches in need of roasting. thanks. [NT] - Charley - 2:38pm on 08/09/15
