Simple Tile Oven Roasted Marshmallows
- Buy home round, large marshmallows (should always be in the pantry from now on).
- Place a couple of marshmallows at the far end of a barbecue skewer or fork.
-
Grill them over the flames in the tile oven, rotating the skewer so that it turns golden brown all around.
Watch out - for a brief, brief moment the Marshmallows are that perfect golden brown and slightly melted, then the next moment they catch fire and disappear in a sugary blue welding flame! - But it doesn't matter - when that happens, you just nimbly blow out the burning Marshmallow and eat it burnt, like American kids always did!J Just don't burn your tongue.
Other suggestions: grill the marshmallows until golden brown and hot, then dip in chocolate sauce and eat!
Remember: roasting a Marshmallow perfectly golden brown is an art!
S'mores (Marshmallows and chocolate chip cookies)
(S'mores got its name from all the little girl scouts who at countless American campfires yelled "Could I have some more?". Try saying that repeatedly really fast and you can probably guess why.)
A further development of this basic American cooking art are the delicious Marshmallow Biscuits. Every American family and Boy Scout troop is said to have its own tried-and-true recipe, passed down through the generations, but it usually goes like this:
- Take a cracker, like "Graham crackers". (So they are biscuits in the style of cheese tray biscuits, but not too salty. Some take Digestive biscuits, but they are actually a bit too crisp and sweet. But chocolate digestive biscuits are not bad for this!)
- Place a couple of squares of milk chocolate on the biscuit.
- Grill a marshmallow over the fire
- When the marshmallows are piping hot, remove them from the heat and place them on top of the chocolate chips on the biscuit and…
- … top the creation with another biscuit so that it forms a lovely "sandwish" of marshmallow/chocolate gojs.
This is, of course, the dessert that follows only after a real home-grilled and sooty hot dog has been enjoyed, directly strung on a grill stick. Think, a whole meal can be made right at the tile stove in your own home!
Enjoy!
PS and to all you parents of toddlers out there: remember that even the fussiest foodie will eat what he grilled himself over the tile stove fire!J
