Grilled Pork Chop with Green Almond and Olive Relish

Green almonds have become one of our favorite spring treats and we’re constantly coming up with new ways to enjoy them.  This simple relish, which pairs fresh, crunchy green almonds with mild, buttery Castelvetrano olives and fresh rosemary, could not possibly be any easier to make.  It’s great with grilled pork chops, but it would be just as good with fish, on a salad or with a good creamy goat cheese.

Cherry-Bison Burgers with Cherry Catsup

You might not immediately associate fresh cherries with burgers, but it can’t be a coincidence that Michigan cherry season comes right in the middle of summer, just when grilling season is at its peak. It’s an opportunity too tempting to resist! In this recipe, fresh cherries are paired with a classic flame-grilled burger in not just one, but two very different ways. But before we start cooking, let’s make something perfectly clear; it’s essential that you use the best quality …

Grilled Sweet Cherry and Apricot Kebabs

Is there anything finer, more perfect than a ripe, ruby-red cherry? Sure, we all love succulent strawberries, plump blueberries and juicy raspberries, but nothing can rival a cherry, that bright red summery globe so beloved of birds and small children. Cherries have a long and tangled relationship with mankind (you could say it’s “complicated”). Cherries, both sweet and tart, seem to have originated in Asia Minor, somewhere in the region between the Black and Caspian Seas. While they appear rather …

Grilled Balsamic Glazed Steaks, Italian-Style

In Italy, grilled steak is epitomized by bistecca alla fiorentina. Try our twist on the classic recipe for an easy barbecue, featuring succulent steaks simply served with lemon, Italian-style. It all starts with a great steak. In the classic version of this Florentine dish, a very specific cut of meat known as bistecca nel filetto is traditionally used, but here in the United States, a good quality, thick bone-in steak is a reasonable substitute: a porterhouse, ribeye or t-bone is ideal. Once …

Grilled Artichokes with Morel-Date Butter

From now on, whenever we cook artichokes, we’ll be finishing them on the grill. A quick trip to the grill transforms the prickly domesticated relative of the thistle into something altogether more subtle and flavorful, with a deep smokey intensity that soars above the simple steamed version. Grilled artichokes are easier to eat, too. Once the artichoke has been steamed, it’s a simple matter to quarter it and pull out the fuzzy inedible “choke” and inner leaves. After grilling, just …

Grilled Tuna with Balaton Cherries, Sweet Onion and Arugula

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you think of tart cherries? Cherry pie? Cherry cobbler? Cherry jam? Think again; a juicy grilled tuna steak might not seem to be a likely pairing for fresh cherries, but the lively flavor of the Balaton cherry is big enough to take on the job. A meaty fish like tuna (or for that matter, salmon, halibut and cod) cries out for a generous dash of acidity to balance all that oily …

Ramp Chimichurri

It’s now officially spring, and while winter weather is still hanging on across much of the country, we can’t help but anticipate warmer weather and all the wild spring bounty that comes along with it. Fresh ramps, or wild leeks as they’re known in the north, are beginning to shoot up and should be ready for harvest in a few more days, but in the meanwhile, we’re satisfying our cravings with plump, mellow ramp bulbs that were frozen at the …

Grilled Pepper & Chanterelle Mushroom Salad

  This rather unusual salad is one of those dishes that comes together quite naturally in the early fall. The first frost has not yet arrived and while nights are cool, the days are still sunny and warm. Colder weather is just around the corner though. Days are growing shorter and backyard gardens are winding down, yielding the last few sweet, sun-ripened peppers of the season. But while tame, cultivated crops are ending, wild mushrooms are exuberantly bursting forth from …

Grilled Ahi Tuna with Yuzu Kosho-Miso Glaze

Until very recently, many classic Asian ingredients were practically unknown to Western cooks. That’s all changed now, with cutting-edge chefs introducing exotic flavors to an eager audience. Now the curtain has been pulled aside and some, at least, of the secret ingredients used in their culinary wizardry have been revealed.  One of these is yuzu kosho. Yuzu kosho, a traditional condiment with an amazing 1-2-3 punch, comes from the southeastern corner of Japan. Originating in Kyushu prefecture (hence the name kosho), …

Grilled Balsamic Chicken Wings

  The genius of this recipe lies in its simplicity. There are really only two important ingredients here: chicken wings and balsamic vinegar. There are a couple of caveats, however: first, use fresh, not frozen, chicken wings. We’ve tried both and there is a noticeable difference. Second, use a good quality balsamic vinegar – an authentic balsamic from Italy, not a cheap, bargain-aisle imitation. A six year old balsamic is perfect; anything fancier would be wasted. Our favorite is a …
