Seattle Chicken Teriyaki
Teriyaki (translating roughly as “shiny grilled” in Japanese) describes both the sauce and the cooking style in which it's used: Meat is marinated in a thin but potent mixture of soy sauce, sugar, and a sweet Japanese wine called mirin and then quickly grilled or broiled. In our version, which is inspired by the teriyaki […]
Pollo a la Brasa (Peruvian Grill-Roasted Chicken)
In Peru, maestros polleros, or poultry masters, make the wildly popular chickens known as pollo a la brasa by grill-roasting chickens on rotisseries that spin lazily over crackling wood fires to produce meat that's encased in tawny, paper-thin skin and dripping with juices. Our version calls for marinating the bird in a beer-based marinade […]
Grilled Chicken Satay
Malaysian chicken satay (satay ayam) features pieces of chicken coated in a deeply fragrant paste, skewered, and charred on the grill. This grilled chicken dish is deeply aromatic, gorgeously charred, fast to cook, and paired with a peanut sauce you’ll want to eat by the spoonful.
Pan-Cooked Albacore with Soy and Mirin
You won’t break the bank buying fresh fish, but there can be a better selection of moderately priced varieties in the freezer department. Among my findings were albacore steaks, one of the few types of tuna that we can still enjoy with a clear conscience, and a great fish if you’re trying to eat more […]
Chicken Shawarma Wrap
Today I’m excited to introduce you to one of my favorite summer recipes. If shawarma and gyro had a baby it would be this recipe. And what better time to learn this than at the beginning of grilling season.
Memphis Dry Rub Ribs
The gorgeous state of Tennessee is known for several attractions: the Great Smoky Mountains, the Nashville music scene, and most importantly, Memphis barbecue. But, what is Memphis barbecue exactly? How is it different from just plain old barbecue? We’re so glad you asked. Memphis is one of the few Southern cities that can truly […]
Thai-Style Grilled Pork Skewers (Moo Ping)
Thinly sliced pork shoulder gets marinated, put on a stick, grilled, and brushed with coconut cream. These skewers will have you forget all about sad takeout satay. While most people in the United States are most familiar with satay-style Thai skewers, these grilled pork skewers, called moo ping, are a popular street-food in Thailand. Thin […]
Grilled Potato Salad With Chiles and Basil
This dish is everything we love about a German potato salad (bright vinegar, fresh herbs, a little heat), plus the added benefit of a grilled, smoky, char. The still hot-off-the-grates spuds get tossed in dressing that’s equal parts spicy, sweet, herbaceous, and nothing sort of addictive. If you don’t have access to a grill, fear […]
Grilled Tandoori Chicken
Tandoori Chicken is a dish that I have had countless times at Indian restaurants. It’s probably a dish that all of us have had many times. Whether it is at a buffet or made to order, Tandoori Chicken always seems to be on the menu, but it is DEFINITELY not always good!I have had […]
Grilled Flank Steak with Basil Dressing
For a grilled flank steak with a char-kissed exterior and a perfectly cooked interior, we had to revisit the idea of the marinade. A wet marinade is the enemy of good browning. On top of that, the test kitchen has proven that marinades barely penetrate the surface of meat. But since salt and sugar (when […]
Grilled Trout with Savory Marinade
Trout and summer savory form an ideal marriage. Both are mild-mannered, so they blend beautifully, neither upstaging the other. Serve the dish with equally mellow vegetables, such as buttered green beans and grilled or roasted potatoes.
