Grilled Recipies

There is something very satisfying about having done all the hard work in advance, knowing that all you have to do to complete a meal is put a little salsa together or transfer ready-to-cook brochettes from the refrigerator to the grill rack. When time is on your side, take the opportunity to steep basil in oil, make bold aji Amarillo marmalade or prepare a chili-and-herb grilled polenta, then put aside to let the flavors improve and develop. Corn smeared with chipotle chili butter and wrapped in its husk, or lamb in a rosemary-scented marinade will both benefit wonderfully from a few hours resting. While they do so, you can relax -safe in the knowledge that it will all taste and smell superb once it's sizzling away on the barbecue or griddle.
