Grilled Red White And Blue Packets Food

RED, WHITE AND BLUE GELATIN FLAG

Steps:

• Spray two half baking sheets and a quarter baking sheet with cooking spray. Set aside in the refrigerator.
• For the strawberry layer: Combine the hot water, plain and strawberry gelatin. Once thoroughly combined, pour the strawberry layer into one of the half baking sheets in the refrigerator. After 15 minutes of cooling, add some strawberry slices, if desired. Allow the gelatin to cool until set, about 2 hours.
• For the white layer: Combine the hot water, sweetened and unsweetened coconut milk, whole milk and plain gelatin. Once thoroughly combined, pour the white layer into the other half baking sheet in the refrigerator. Allow to cool until set, about 2 hours.
• For the blue layer: Combine the hot water and the blue and plain gelatin. Once thoroughly combined, pour the blue layer into the quarter baking sheet in the refrigerator.
• Once the layers are set, remove them from the refrigerator.
• Turn the red layer out onto a parchment-lined platter or cutting board. Slice two-thirds of the white layer into strips and reserve the remaining third to punch out stars with a star-shaped cookie cutter. Top the red layer with the white stripes. With the widest side of the blue layer facing you, cut the layer in half from the top of the baking sheet to the bottom. Add one portion of the blue layer on top of the white stripes on the top left portion of the flag. Top the blue layer with the white stars. Using a piping bag fitted with a star tip, pipe out a whipped cream border and top with blueberries.

RED, WHITE AND BLUE BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
• Using your hands, lightly shape the ground sirloin into four 1/2-inch thick patties. Try to leave some air in the burger and avoid packing them too densely.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Lightly drizzle the red pepper quarters with olive oil.
• Cook the burgers on both sides over the hot grill for about 5 to 6 minutes per side for medium burgers.
• At the same time, grill the peppers for 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
• Lightly toast the buns on the grill.
• Serve the burgers on toasted buns with grilled red peppers, slices of sweet white onion and crumbled blue cheese.
