Teaming up with Sette Luna Harvest Fest
We had the privilege this past weekend to have one of our Supremo Grill models shipped over to the Lehigh Valley area to be part of an event at a locals favorite Italian restaurant. Sette Luna is known for their authentic, hand-made Italian recipes that the community can’t get enough of.
This past weekend, we shipped our free-standing Supremo Model to it’s location in Easton, Pa to be a part of their annual Harvest Fest. The owner Josh Palmer, created an Italian menu featuring traditional Italian food and wine pairings.
Our grill was able to assist in the making of these meals and we have to say, it was one of the stars of the show! If you didn’t have the chance to check it out, here are some pictures that really show the grill at work.
Coal Fired Wings
Coal fired barbecue chicken wings. It’s an amazing appetizer when you can skip the deep fryer and add the smokiness that comes from the lump hardwood charcoal.
Rotisserie Chicken on the Grill
Using the #rotisserie option on a Gaucho Grills insert. Simply remove your grill plates and insert your spit rod and you’re good to go. #woodfired rotisserie chicken for dinner will keep everyone happy.
Mushrooms on the Grill
Mushrooms on the #grill. So amazing. #woodfire under the grates to heat up the cast iron pan. Butter, white wine, garlic and shallots to start. Add the buttons and baby Bella’s and let the heat do the rest. Add a touch of parsley to finish. Lobster stuffed shrooms cooking up in the back of the grill as well. .
Up, down, whatever it takes!
Up, down, whatever it takes to get you that perfectly cooked steak. With a Gaucho Grill we have great temperature control, awesome woodfired heat retention with the firebrick and a whole lot of grilling fun.
Beef Round Rolls on the Gaucho Grill
Beef round rolls stuffed with herbed butter and spinach on the Gaucho Grill. Seared on the plancha initially to release the herbed butter into some portobello slices. Finished on the V Grates along with the rest of this awesome grilled dinner.
Salmon with Lemon, Dill, and Butter
Grilled salmon on the Gaucho Grill always looks great. This time we’re having some fun with some special effects too! Aesthetics notwithstanding, lemon, butter and fresh dill on grilled fish is a combo that never fails to please.
Slow Grilling Ribs
While burning some oak to get enough embers ready for the rest of the asado (and enjoying a nice fire) I like to throw on some slow cooking meat while the grill preps for the next round. A nice rack of ribs is great to leave on the grill for long periods of time while other food rotates on and off.

Grilled Lobster Tails with Browned Butter
Grilled Lobster Tails with Browned Butter
Serves 2
4 tablespoons salted butter, softened
1 tablespoon thinly sliced chives
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest; plus lemon wedges for serving
1 medium clove garlic, minced
1 large russet potato, sliced in ¼” rounds
1 small head broccoli, cut into long spears
Canola oil for grilling
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 6- to 7-oz. lobster tails, thawed if frozen
1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until the milk solids begin to brown
and the butter looks golden and smells nutty, about 7 minutes. Pour the golden butter into a
small bowl and stir in the chives, lemon zest, and garlic. Set aside.
2. Place the potato rounds in a microwave safe bowl with 1 cup water and microwave on high
until tender, about 6 minutes. Drain and toss with canola oil, salt, and pepper. Toss the broccoli
spears with canola oil, salt, and pepper.
3. Prepare the grill for medium high cooking. Spread the potato slices and broccoli over the grill in a single layer. Grill until grill marks form and the broccoli chars lightly, about 8 minutes.
4. Using kitchen shears, cut along the center of the back of the lobster tails from the opening to the tail fin. Turn the tail over and repeat the same cut on the bottom; use a knife to cut through the meat to create two halves. Clean out the intestinal tract, if present.
5. Place the tails, shell side up, on the grill. Grill until the meat of the tails is lightly marked, about 3 minutes. Flip and brush with a little of the brown butter and grill until the lobster meat is firm, moist, and opaque, 2 to 3 minutes more. Remove from the grill and serve with the potatoes and broccoli and the brown butter.

Garlic Lime Shrimp Skewers over Tex Mex Quinoa Salad

3 scallions
Canola oil for grilling
1 tablespoon finely chopped cilantro
½ pound jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
4 wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes

juice, ⅓ of garlic paste, cumin, oregano, a pinch of salt, and a few grinds of pepper and shake until combined.

3. Prepare the grill for medium high heat.
4. Coat the corn and scallions with 1 tablespoon canola oil and grill, turning occasionally, until charred all over, about 8 minutes for the corn, 3 minutes for the scallions. Let sit until cool enough to handle. Cut the corn off the cob and chop the scallions. Toss with the salad.
5. In a large bowl, stir together 2 tablespoons canola oil, the remaining garlic paste, the lime zest, cilantro, and a big pinch of salt and pepper. Add the shrimp to coat.
