Roasted Pork With Sage, Rosemary, and Garlic
Pork loin is a lean, mild cut of meat. I like to add flavor and keep it moist by stuffing it with a mixture of chopped herbs and garlic. Simply make a small channel in the center of the loin with a knife, then poke the stuffing in. The meat will be flavored and basted from within while it roasts.
Grilled Split Lobster
Splitting lobsters in half makes them easier to grill—and eat.
Jicama, Radish, and Pickled Plum Salad
Inspired by chile salt-sprinkled mangos, this salad is so deftly seasoned, you won't even notice there's not a drop of oil in the whole dish.
Fruit Salad with Fennel, Watercress, and Smoked Salt
Feel free to adapt this fruit salad as the seasons change; aim for a mix of juicy fruit (like melon), stone fruit, and berries.
Chi Spacca's Bistecca Fiorentina
If you don't enjoy very rare meat, keep these steaks on the grill until they reach 120°; they'll still be rare, but less aggressively so.
Spicy Grilled Chicken with Lemon and Parsley
To avoid tearing the skin on the breast or thighs, turn the chickens over by picking them up from the ends of the drumsticks.
Squid Salad with Cucumber, Watercress, and Cilantro
A dressing of only vinegar and chili oil ties this salad together.
Slow-Grilled Leg of Lamb with Mint Yogurt and Salsa Verde
Ask your butcher for a whole leg, which will include part of the sirloin.
Crudités Salad with Farro and Pecans
A texture riot of a salad; it gets crunch and creaminess from toasted pecans and almond butter(!).
Grilled Fennel-Rubbed Triple-Cut Pork Chops
To get a true reading on the chops, make sure the thermometer is dead in the center and not too close to the bones, where the temperature will be higher.
Snap Peas and Green Beans with Arugula-Mint Pesto
When not using this pesto to dress this very green salad, you could schmear it on just about any sandwich, or stir it into scrambled eggs.
