Cucumber Relish
The relish can be made up to 1 day ahead and refrigerated; add the salt just before serving.
Green Tomato Salsa
We like to serve grilled fish over a coulis made by pureeing half the salsa until smooth and adding olive oil until the mixture is the desired consistency.
Basic Vinaigrette
This is a good vinaigrette for a simple green salad. Use extra-virgin olive oil if you prefer a fruitier flavor.
Roasted Garlic Aïoli
You can make this garlic mayonnaise with a mortar and pestle or a food processor—we’ve provided directions for each method. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 3 days.
Classic Mexican Guacamole
This recipe was inspired by the tableside version prepared at Rosa Mexicano in New York City. To ripen hard avocados, leave them in a closed paper bag at room temperature for a few days.
Southwestern Spice Mix
Toss this mix with 2 pounds potatoes before grilling. Once they have finished cooking, sprinkle the potatoes with fresh lime juice, if desired. See page 389 for grilling instructions.
Barbecue Rub
Dry rubs add intense flavor to chicken, pork, and beef. Apply the rub at least 1 hour and up to 3 days before cooking.
