The Best Summer Corn on the Cob

In BBQ - Grilling - Smoking by Dave DeWittLeave a Comment

From Mike Stines: Sweet corn can be cooked in a variety of ways. The most popular are grilled in the husks, grilled without husks, grilled in aluminum foil with the husks removed, steamed, boiled and just by throwing the unhusked corn on a live fire (great for a camp fire or backyard fire pit).

We don’t usually think about grilling pickled peppers, but for some reason they turn out great. Just remember not to over-grill the peppers or they may blacken on the outside. Note that although some commercial cherry peppers are called “hot” by the manufacturers, they are usually rather mild. This recipe is reminiscent of the wonderful canned stuffed jalapeños from Mexico–in fact, this recipe works with pickled jalapeños as well.

Chorizo Criollo (Chorizo Sausage from Argentina)

In Burgers, Sandwiches & Dogs, Recipes by Mark MaskerLeave a Comment

These delicious sausages have a counterpart all over Latin America. The ingredients can vary widely; some recipes call for saltpeter, some use all pork, some include spices such as cloves and cinnamon, and still others prefer vinegar or wine. I have included this rather traditional recipe from Argentina utilizing the famed ají p-p, the “bad word” chile; for a substitute, use pure hot red chile powder, such as New Mexico Chimayó. In Argentina, these sausages are almost always included at an asado–a barbecue. Note: This recipe requires advance preparation.
