Pairing: Grilled chicken or pork
Recipe
Ingredients
- Chicken or Pork: The main ingredient; chicken breast, thighs, or pork chops are ideal for grilling due to their tenderness.
- Marinade: A mix of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs (like thyme or rosemary) helps enhance flavor and tenderness.
- Salt and Pepper: Essential for seasoning, they elevate the meat’s natural flavors.
- Vegetables (optional): Bell peppers, zucchini, or corn can be grilled alongside for added flavor and nutrition.
- Fresh Herbs: Used as a garnish, they enhance presentation and freshness.
Instructions
- Prepare the meat: For best results, marinate chicken or pork for at least 30 minutes to a few hours in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and your choice of herbs and spices.
- Preheat the grill: Heat the grill to medium-high. If using charcoal, ensure coals are evenly distributed; for gas, preheat for 10-15 minutes.
- Prepare vegetables (if using): Wash and chop vegetables into uniform pieces. Toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper for grilling.
- Grill the meat: Remove the meat from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Place on the grill. For chicken, grill for about 6-8 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). For pork, grill for about 5-7 minutes per side or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Grill vegetables: Add vegetables to the grill during the last 5-10 minutes of cooking. Turn occasionally until they are tender and have nice grill marks.
- Rest and serve: After grilling, let the meat rest for about 5 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute. Serve with grilled vegetables and garnish with fresh herbs.
