TIPS ON HOW TO DECORATE YOUR SANTA MARIA GRILL
PRECAUTION: Decorate your Santa Maria Grill BEFORE you light your fire. You will be spending some time hanging, stringing and adjusting your proteins and vegetables. Make sure you do not burn yourself and decorate a Santa Maria grill before you light your charcoal or wood. Don't burnt you belly :P
CHOOSE YOUR PROTEINS AND VEGETABLES: Choose an arrayment of different vegetables and proteins to decorate your grill with. Whether you are looking to impress your guests, judges, or bring a vibrant aspect to your asado style gathering.
WIRE: Use a thick aluminum wire and use wire cutters. This allowed us to be able to pierce and penetrate your vegetables. If you are trying to get through thicker vegetables like corn or proteins, use a metal skewer to pierce through, giving you room to run your wire through.
ARRANGE YOUR VEGETABLES: Before you wire your vegetables, ensure to arrange them first. You want to alternate colours evenly. You also want to ensure you have enough of one item to drape, and get the exact look you are looking for.
PLAN YOUR COOK: Plan your cook, so you can plan what type of vegetables you wish hang or drape. We wanted to have tacos, so we planned on hanging vegetables to make both a chimichurri and salsa. We draped tomatoes, onions, peppers to accommodate our meal.
COLOUR MATTERS: Make sure you decorate your santa maria grill with lots of vibrant colours and textures. You want your grill to stand out and be the central focus of your BBQ.
