Simple Salt-and-Pepper Grilled Chicken
Salt and pepper alone can have a profound impact on perfectly cooked chicken, making for an easy, three-ingredient entree.
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon coarse salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 1 whole chicken (3 to 4 pounds), quartered, rinsed, and patted dry
- summer bread salad
Directions:
- Preheat grill to medium-high. (If you are using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill for just 3 to 4 seconds.)
- Combine salt and pepper. Rub chicken with mixture, covering all sides and shaking off excess. (You may not need all of the mixture.) Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes.
- Place chicken on grill, skin side down. Close cover, and grill 8 minutes. Flip chicken, and close cover. Grill until chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes more.
- Transfer chicken to a plate, and let rest 15 minutes. Serve with bread salad.

Seared Sea Scallops with Gingered Pea Puree and Cilantro Gremolata
At this time of year, whenever I go the market English peas always accompany me home. They are nature's superior answer to fast food, preferably eaten straight from the shell, with no need for cooking. When I do get around to cooking them, a favorite preparation is as an accompaniment to shellfish. The briny sweetness and pearly coral colors of the fish perfectly compliment the sweet, vividly green peas. In this recipe, crispy seared scallops are served on a bed of puréed peas spiced with fresh ginger and topped with cilantro gremolata. It's a beautiful presentation, either as individual amuse-bouches, an appetizer or an entrée.
