Go for thick fish fillets - they're best on the barbie. Supermarkets carry marinated catfish fillets that are relatively inexpensive. Throw them on the grill while you make the salsa.
We bet this will become your last-minute grilling favourite since you only need a few dried herbs, a little Dijon and fresh lemon juice to create a flavourful baste. No long marinating needed! Sprigs of mint from the garden add a refreshing finishing touch.
Besides being summery, these skewers look fancy! Perfect for last-minute dinners, they take little effort.
Fragrant coriander adds a refreshing new twist to traditional corn on the cob.
We prefer chicken thighs for these kebabs; they're inexpensive and get super juicy on the grill when glazed with our Saskatoon-berry sauce.
Lighten up your routine and try a meatless dinner. Vegetables are packed with nutrients and an eggplant "steak" has a hearty texture that stands up well to grilling. Stack the eggplant with a slice of charred tomato and a spoonful of feta-and-spinach cream cheese, which will melt a little, becoming deliciously creamy. This is also a gorgeous first course for a patio party or gourmet side dish to accompany grilled fish or chicken.
Chipotles in adobo sauce are smoked jalape?o peppers in a dark red sauce of ground chilies, herbs and vinegar. They're sold in cans in many supermarkets and make a dynamite marinade for chicken.
