Tips for a

GREAT YARD

Warm summer days mean more time spent tending to our lawns and gardens.

Here are some tips to help make your yard one of the best on the block:

mow high

Keeping the blade raised for a 2.5 to 3-inch cut is best because it helps a strong root system develop and discourages weed growth.

A small number of weeds or bugs is nothing to worry about, and if you catch a problem before it gets out of hand you will have an easier time dealing with it. If your problem reaches a point where you need to use a pesticide, just follow the label. The products in Canadian stores are approved by Health Canada before they are made available to consumers.

A healthy yard is not only a beautiful way to add value to your property, it's also a good way to enhance the environment by filtering rainwater, attracting birds and good insects and absorbing pollution. Regular maintenance and keeping a watchful eye out for potential problems are two simple ways you can make the most of your personal outdoor oasis while contributing to a beautiful, vibrant urban environment.

SalmonTROUT WITH SPIRALIZED ZUCCHINI, ASPARAGUS & TOMATO EN PAPILLOT SERVES

B

aking fish in parchment allows for the flavours to really concentrate. The steam helps to make a perfect sauce and the cleanup is minimal! I often make this when I need an easy dinner for 2 or 4.

Step FIVE

Ingredients 3/4 pound of skinless rainbow trout or salmon, one piece 2 zucchinis, spiralized or 2 cups prespiralized zucchini

Directions Step ONE On the work surface, lay the sheet of parchment paper lengthwise. The piece of parchment should be about 4 times the length of the fish.

Step TWO Using the lower half of the parchment paper, lay down the spiralized zucchini (this will be the “bed� for the fish). Tuck about half the tomatoes slices and half the red chili rounds in the zucchini noodles. Drizzle with 1 tbsp of the oil, about 1 tsp of the balsamic, sprinkle with salt and pepper.

1/2 of a fresh long red chilli, sliced in rounds 6 campari tomatoes, each sliced into 3-4 rounds 1/2 bunch of asparagus, ends removed and stalks cut in half 1 tsp sea salt, divided Freshly ground black pepper to taste 2-3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 1 tbsp aged balsamic vinegar

Step THREE Lay the fish fillet on top of the spiralized zucchini and tomato bed.

Step FOUR Drizzle a small amount of the oil on the fish and season with salt and pepper.

Serving Suggestion: I like to serve this over a bed of brown rice, quinoa, or millet.

Distribute the remainder of tomatoes, red chili rounds and all the asparagus spears on top of the fish.

Step SIX Drizzle the contents of the package with the remainder of the oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper.

Step SEVEN Fold the upper half of the parchment paper over the vegetable/fish mound (you should leave enough space around the food to allow the air to expand and circulate). Starting from one corner, make a fold in the parchment, staple that fold together. Make very tight, closely overlapping little folds starting from one corner and work your way around, towards the opposite corner.

Fold the last fold over itself and staple this fold to itself and then a few of the folds along the parchment paper. Place the package on a cookie sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes.

Step EIGHT Cut the package open and either slide the contents onto a plate or serve directly from the open parchment (you can cut away the top flap and staples).

5 Tips

for your next

BARBECUE G

et out on your deck and enjoy a delicious meal with friends and family and your grill favourites.

John Thomson, Canada's national barbecue champion, shares his tips and tricks to make sure your next feast is easy, fun and delicious.

pick the best cuts of meat To prepare the best dishes, you need to start with the right cuts of meat.

Always look for pieces that have some marbling to them. Fat serves two purposes, adding both flavour and moisture to the meat.

As it melts, fat moisturizes the meats. When the drippings hit the hot coals underneath, you add a different level of flavour. Try the Real Canadian Superstore, they carry a large selection of grilling meat, cut fresh from AAA beef, including the line of PC Free From meats that are raised without the use of antibiotics or added hormones.

brine your meats Dry-brine your steak by sprinkling kosher salt over each side, then put it on a wire rack and let it sit in the fridge for two hours prior to cooking. 1/2 tsp of kosher salt per pound of meat is a good ratio. Pork and chicken can be wet-brined for a couple of hours in a simple brine of 4 liters of cold water, 3/4 cup of kosher salt and 2/3 cup of sugar. To increase flavour, add herbs and spices. >>>

17

outdoor

keep rubs simple Thomson's simple go-to rub is four parts salt, two parts granulated garlic and one part black pepper. This versatile rub is great on all your classic barbecue meats and is especially good on beef. It's also a great base if you want to develop your own rubs; simply add other ingredients like cumin, sugar, coriander seed, chili powder and ground thyme.

try the reverse sear technique Cook slowly and then finish on a hot grill to ensure you have tender, flavourful and eye-catching meat.

Thomson calls this the reverse sear, and it's a technique that is starting to catch on.

use the right tools You don't need gadgets and gizmos, just a solid pair of barbecue tongs, a long-handled spatula and an instant-read thermometer. THN www.newscanada.com
