GRILLED VEGETABLES WITH LEMON-CAPER DRESSING

Steps:

• Slice the eggplant and zucchini lengthwise. Sprinkle the slices with salt and put them in a colander for 30 minutes to drain the bitter juices. Pat them dry with a dish towel.
• Preheat grill. Grill the red peppers until the skins blacken. Put them in a paper or plastic bag and close it. When the peppers are cool, slip off their skins. Cut the peppers in strips and set them aside.
• Lightly brush the remaining vegetables with some of the olive oil and grill the slices on both sides. Put them on a serving platter when they are done.
• While the vegetables are grilling, make the dressing. Combine the remaining oil with the garlic and lemon juice. Mix thoroughly. Arrange the vegetables on a platter and pour the dressing over them while they are still warm. Garnish with the red pepper strips and sprinkle with oregano, capers, sea salt and pepper. Serve at room temperature (do not refrigerate).

GRILLED BROCCOLI AND LEMON WITH CHILE AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Bring a large saucepan of well-salted water to a boil over medium-high. Keep a large bowl of ice water next to it. Meanwhile, trim the broccoli so 2 inches/5 centimeters of stalk remain attached. Cut the broccoli in half lengthwise, then cut each half lengthwise again to give you 4 wedges per head.
• Blanch the broccoli by adding it to the boiling water and cooking for 3½ minutes, until softened. The stalks should retain a nice bite. Use a pair of tongs to remove the wedges and plunge them straight into the ice water to stop them from cooking further. Once completely cool, drain and dry them well, then place in a large bowl.
• Meanwhile, add 6 tablespoons/89 milliliters of oil, the chiles and garlic to a small frying pan and place it over medium heat. Cook for 7 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is golden and the chiles start to become transparent. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the solids to a plate lined with paper towels and set aside to cool and crisp further.
• Add the anchovies to the pan and place over low heat. Cook gently, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes, until an anchovy is soft enough to be easily squashed with the back of a spoon. Set aside to cool completely.
• Place a large, well-greased grill pan over high heat and ventilate your kitchen well. (See Tip for outdoor grilling.) Toss the broccoli gently with 1½ teaspoons olive oil. Once the pan is very hot, grill the broccoli in 2 batches, turning so that all the flat sides have nice grill marks, 6 to 8 minutes per batch. Transfer to a tray to cool down. Grill the lemon rounds for 1½ minutes per side, until nicely charred, then transfer to a chopping board. When cool enough to handle, finely chop the lemon (skin and all) and transfer to a small bowl along with the lemon juice, parsley and remaining 1½ teaspoons olive oil. Mix well and set aside.
• Once the broccoli has cooled, top with the anchovy oil mixture and toss gently to combine. Arrange on a large serving platter and top evenly with the charred lemon mixture. Lastly, sprinkle over the fried chile and garlic and the flaked salt.

GRILLED LEMON GARLIC POTATOES

Steps:

• Bring potatoes and water to cover to a boil in a large Dutch oven over medium high heat, cook 20 to 25 minutes or until tender. Drain and toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil.
• Stir together lemon rind, nest five ingredients and remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil.
• Coat a cold cooking grate with cooking spray and place on grill over medium heat, (350 degrees).
• Place potatoes on cooking grate and grill, covered with grill lid, 5 minutes, turning occasionally.
• Gently toss hot potatoes with lemon mixture.
• Serve immediately or at room temperature.

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.
