Serve half of these simple grilled veggies with the Grilled Sausages for lunch and use the rest as a topping for the Steak Sandwiches With Avocado Mayo. They also make a great addition to salads, breakfast omelettes and frittatas.
A Wong family holiday staple, this rich succulent duck roasts to a beautiful mahogany brown. We use brown miso paste instead of the traditional Chinese mein see (brown bean sauce), because it is more readily available.
We've taken the hassle out of stuffing for an easier rolled version of traditional chicken cordon bleu, which is perfect for busy weeknights. Grilled thinly sliced potatoes make a great alternative to roast potatoes when grilling season is at its peak.
These fun holiday character cookies are a great afternoon project for you and the kids. Hit up your local bulk store to stock up on edible decorations for the eyes and noses. Once the cookies have cooled, divvy them up according to how you'd like to decorate them—there's enough icing to make several of each character. Keep in mind, you'll need half of the white icing for the Santa cookies, and half for the snowmen.
Does your family love meat and potatoes, but you want them to eat more vegetables? Here's the ultimate compromise: all the pleasure of grilled steak and potatoes mixed into a tasty, fresh summer salad.
Try this Greek takeout favourite at home! The tzatziki also makes a wonderful, cool dip on its own–pair it with toasted pita wedges and crunchy fresh vegetables.
Charring the cherry tomatoes adds flavour, and they still hold their shape. If you want to make this recipe ahead of time, you can marinate the chicken overnight. Serve sprinkled with cilantro if desired, along with grilled naan or Greek-style pita bread.
Cost: $3.33/serving
Dukkah is a blend of spices, nuts and seeds that makes a flavourful crust for grilled chicken and helps lock in moisture. Look for it in Middle Eastern grocery stores.
A coil of sausage is a dramatic way to grill sausages for a crowd. As most sausage is sold twisted at intervals into links, you will need to ask your butcher ahead of time to set aside a 3 lb (1.5 kg) piece.
This popular Latin-style street food is traditionally served on a bun called a cemita, which is a sesame-topped egg bread. Luckily, you don't have to travel to try this tasty concoction: Here we use challah, which is similar to cemita and more readily available. Marinating in spices and lime juice gives the meat a spicy kick, which is offset by a cool guacamole spread.
