Sweet and smoky grilled pineapple salsa with charred pineapple, jalapeno, peppers and fresh herbs is perfect over grilled salmon for your summer BBQ!

Summer is in the air, tan lines are multiplying and the grill is gettin’ hot!

Sweet and smoky grilled pineapple salsa with charred pineapple, jalapeno, peppers and fresh herbs is perfect over grilled salmon for your summer BBQ!
We bought a charcoal grill/smoker about a month ago and ever since, we have been hooked! There is no comparison between the taste and smell that hot char-coal gives off compared to it’s gas counter-part. The smell is intoxicating and familiar and screams with memories of summer bbq’s and long days at the beach. We have been hooked ever since and grillin anything we can find outside of our shoe. This week we grilled up some sweet and summery fruit!

My mission this summer is to try as many different dishes and ingredients on the grill. I did grill avocados last year which I totally loved. And fruit isn’t too far off on the trend setting menu either. The heat crystallizes all the sugars on the fruit which then forms a crunchy, almost bruleed exterior and the natural sweet fruit juices are just screaming to be enjoyed.

So for this dish in particular, we were grilling salmon and I wanted to make something light, summery and full of flavor. Since we were heating the grill up anyway, I threw on a bunch of very ripe produce and chopped it all up. This entire salsa is grilled…even the limes!

So my question is…….what are YOU grilling this summer?

**Vegetarian Stuffed Grape Leaves** Filled with ba **Vegetarian Stuffed Grape Leaves** Filled with basmati rice, chickpeas and loads of fresh herbs.⁠
⁠
One of the first recipes my mom taught me, was how to roll grape leaves. ⁠
⁠
And whatever stuffing you decide to add, I have a few tips to share. ⁠
* Jarred grape leaves are super briny, take them all out and rinse them very well. ⁠
* Separate each leaf (that was one of my moms biggest peeves).⁠
* Remove the hard stem before adding filling.⁠
*Each leaf has 2 sides, a shiny and dull side. Add filling to the full side, so shiny side is up for presentation. ⁠
⁠
What would you stuff grape leaves with?⁠
⁠
(For the complete recipe, click on the link in my profile and click on the photo!)
*Chicken Saltimbocca with Speck and Herbes de Prov *Chicken Saltimbocca with Speck and Herbes de Provence*⁠
⁠
Boy oh boy, do I have a weeknight chicken recipe for you!⁠
⁠
My version of saltimbocca takes a bit of French inspiration and in my (humble) opinion, has bolder flavors!. ⁠
⁠
Pounded chicken cutlets are seasoned with aromatic herbes de Provence and layered with basil and smoky speck, seared and finished in a light white wine sauce.⁠
⁠
Saltimbocca translates to 'jump in the mouth', which is exactly what these flavors will do. ⁠
⁠
**Recipe is live on the site, head to the link in my bio and click on the photo for the recipe!**⁠

⁠
*Homemade Preserved Lemons*⁠ ⁠ New on the site *Homemade Preserved Lemons*⁠
⁠
New on the site, is a step by step guide on making your own homemade preserved lemons with some recipe inspiration and tips.⁠
⁠
There is nothing like the aroma of preserved lemons. Citrusy, bright and floral.⁠
⁠
You just need two ingredients and about two weeks time. Then chop or slice up to use in so many things, such as tagine or preserved lemon compound butter for fish.  How good does that sound?⁠
⁠
How would you use preserved lemons?⁠
⁠
(For the recipe + tips, head to the link in my bio and click on the photo!)
*Herb and Citrus Roasted Salmon*⁠ ⁠ Oh hello t *Herb and Citrus Roasted Salmon*⁠
⁠
Oh hello there citrus season! Sure, you could take winters sunshine and bake it into a cake or curd, but there is something about citrus + salmon that never goes out of style. ⁠
⁠
Wild salmon filets are packed with a fresh herb "crust" and poached in a bright white wine lemon and olive oil marinade. ⁠
⁠
I've made this recipe with so many different variations...different herbs or with blood orange would be fantastic! ⁠
⁠
What would you make this citrus season?⁠

⁠
*Braised Short Ribs with Red Wine*⁠ ⁠ What is *Braised Short Ribs with Red Wine*⁠
⁠
What is your favorite method of cooking? If I was left to one, it would be braised. ⁠
⁠
A good hard sear, then low and slow (preferably in red wine) for hours until the tough muscle fibers are forced to break down, soften and literally melt in your mouth. ⁠
⁠
A few herbs, some aromatics and then just let the braise do the rest of the work. ⁠

*Four Ingredient Lemon Herb Couscous*⁠ ⁠ Today *Four Ingredient Lemon Herb Couscous*⁠
⁠
Today, we're chatting about "back pocket recipes" as I'd like to call it. ⁠
⁠
Recipes that we all should know and can whip out at a moments notice. A few of mine are: creamy polenta, a bomb roast chicken and classic spaghetti and meatballs. ⁠
⁠
The other day, I shared my chicken tagine recipe and this simple lemon herb couscous would the perfect companion to those bold flavors. ⁠
⁠
What are you "back pocket recipes?"⁠

(Head to the link in my bio and click on the photo for the recipe, but really...just remember the 1:1.25 ratio and you're set!)
* Turkish Lentil Soup with Mint and Lemon*⁠ ⁠ * Turkish Lentil Soup with Mint and Lemon*⁠
⁠
When I think of Mediterranean cuisine, one of the first recipes that pops in my head is this robust lentil soup. ⁠
⁠
We were first introduced to this lentil soup in Istanbul and since, I have bright it to my  cooking classes, my site and in my book because everyone needs to experience how fantastic Turkish lentil soup is.⁠
⁠
Vegan and full of hearty grains such as rice, quinoa and lentils and flavored with smokey paprika and finished with fresh mint and bright lemon. This is what Mediterranean cooking is all about...bold, fresh flavors!⁠
