Farro With Grilled Lemon And Garlic Chicken And Vegetables Recipes

GRILLED LEMON-GARLIC CHICKEN

Steps:

• Combine oil, lemon juice, garlic, onion powder, pepper, and salt in a large, gallon-sized, zip-top bag. Seal and shake well. Add chicken and shake again. Place in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 2 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Place the chicken on the grill over indirect heat, baste with marinade, and cover. Grill for 10 minutes. Baste again, then turn over and baste the other side. Cover and continue to grill until no longer pink in the centers and juices run clear, about 10 minutes more.

GRILLED RIB EYE STEAK ON FETA FARRO WITH GARDEN GOODIES AND GRILLED LEMON

Steps:

• For the compound butter: Combine the butter, parsley, scallions, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a small bowl and mash with a spoon to combine. Scrape onto a piece of parchment and form into a log. Roll up and twirl the ends to tightly seal and form a tight log about 3 inches long. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour.
• For the dukkah seasoning: Toast the cumin and coriander in a small skillet over low heat until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Cool and crush in a spice grinder or with a mortar and pestle. Transfer to a small bowl and stir in the almonds, sesame seeds and salt. Set aside.
• For the farro: Bring a large pot of salted water to boil, as for pasta. Add the farro, then reduce the heat and simmer rapidly until just tender, about 30 minutes. Rinse to cool and drain well. Add to a serving bowl.
• Preheat a 2-burner grill pan or outdoor grill to medium to medium-high heat.
• For the steaks: Combine the brown sugar, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Rub all over the steaks on both sides. Place the steaks on the grill. Grill for 90 seconds, then give the steaks a 90-degree turn. Grill for another 90 seconds, then flip the steaks. Repeat the procedure on the second side, cooking the steaks 6 to 7 minutes total for medium-rare.
• Remove the steaks to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Unwrap the chilled butter and slice into 4 or 5 rounds. Place on the steaks to melt while they rest.
• Meanwhile, grill the scallions until tender, turning once, 2 to 3 minutes. Grill the lemon until charred on the cut sides, about 2 minutes. Chop the scallions and add to the bowl with the farro. Squeeze the lemon over the farro and add the tomatoes, cucumbers, Garlic Oil, cilantro, mint, feta and dukkah. Toss well and season with salt if needed. Mound the salad on a serving platter. Thinly slice the steaks against the grain and place on the salad. Serve immediately.
• Combine the garlic cloves, rosemary sprigs, thyme sprigs, bay leaf and oil in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over the lowest heat and cook until the cloves are light golden and completely tender, about 30 minutes. Let cool. Remove the herbs and stir in the red pepper flakes.

GRILLED LEMON-GARLIC CHICKEN THIGHS WITH HERBS

Steps:

• Zest and juice 4 lemons; reserve remaining 2 whole.
• Combine olive oil, lemon zest and juice, rosemary, sage, garlic, and crushed red pepper for marinade in a small bowl. Whisk to combine.
• Place chicken thighs in a single layer in a wide, flat dish. Add the herb mixture and massage to coat. Cover and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade and brush off any excess herbs and oil. Season generously with salt and drizzle with olive oil.
• Cut the 2 whole lemons in half and cut the tips off of the ends; this will allow the lemons to stand up without rolling around.
• Place the chicken, skin side-down, on the preheated grill. Grill chicken for 3 to 4 minutes, then rotate 90 degrees to create a crosshatch pattern. Grill another 3 to 4 minutes, then turn and grill until no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 4 to 5 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• At the same time, grill the lemons, flesh-side down, alongside the chicken, until caramelized. Flip over to grill on the bottom, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve with grilled chicken.
