HALIBUT COOKED IN CORN HUSKS

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, combine the hot sauce and Maggi sauce. Mix well to incorporate evenly. Sprinkle the halibut on both sides with some salt and pepper and place inside the bowl, coating with the marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and let marinate for 2 hours.
• Place 3 corn husks vertically overlapping each other on a cutting board. Place 1 fillet on the corn husks, reserving the marinade. Top with a tablespoon of sliced onions, a tablespoon of the reserved marinade and some more salt and pepper.Fold from the bottom up, and then from top to bottom. Then fold in the sides to the center. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
• Wrap aluminum foil around each corn husk-covered halibut and place in a large cast-iron skillet or on a griddle. Cook on medium heat for 20 minutes on each side. Remove from the heat and remove the foil and corn husk carefully, making sure not to burn yourself with the steam. Serve with lime wedges.

GRILLED LOBSTER SANDWICH WITH CHARRED CORN AND AVOCADO SALSA

Steps:

• Preheat a charcoal grill for direct grilling.
• Split each lobster tail down the underside with a heavy knife, taking care not to cut through the back shell, so that they are still in one piece that you can open like a book. Brush the lobster meat with some of the oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Place the lobsters cut-side down on the grill and cook until lightly charred and heated through, about 4 minutes. Flip and heat briefly, another 30 seconds or so. Remove from the shell, being careful to leave the meat from each half in one piece.
• Spread some of the Charred Corn and Avocado Salsa on the bottom of the hamburger buns. Top with 2 pieces lobster, some sliced red onions and a squeeze of lime juice. Spread extra mayo on the top bun, if desired, top the sandwiches and serve.
• Serves: 6
• Preheat the grill to medium direct heat.
• Pull the outer husks down the corn to the base. Strip away the silk from each ear of corn by hand. Fold the husks back into place and tie the ends together with kitchen string. Place the ears of corn in a large bowl of cold water with the salt for 1 hour.
• Remove the corn from the water and shake off any excess water. Place the corn on the grill, close the cover and grill until the kernels are tender, 15 to 20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes. Let cool slightly. Remove the kernels from the ears.
• Put the corn kernels, creme fraiche, cilantro, avocados, lime juice, chiles, onions and hot sauce in a medium bowl and toss gently, breaking up the avocado a bit. Season with salt and pepper.

HOW TO FIRE ROAST BELL PEPPERS

Steps:

• Begin by washing and drying the peppers.
• To roast two or more at a time, the oven is easiest. Place on a rack in a broiler pan or baking sheet about 2-inches from the heat.
• Leave under the broiler until they blacken and blister, turning from side to side to roast evenly. (This can take from 15 to 25 minutes). They are done when completely charred on all sides.
• Remove from broiler and place peppers in a brown paper bag; close tightly for about 15 minutes or until cool enough to handle.
• Remove peppers and peel off the skin using your fingers or the back of a knife.
• Remove stem and seeds.
• To roast on a barbecue grill or gas burner, place the pepper on a long handled fork or hold with tongs as close to the heat as possible.
• Rotate from sisde to side to roast evenly and proceed as above, cooking and turning as the skin blackens.
• To roast cut-up peppers, wash and seed peppers, cut into quarters and place skin side up on a rack in a broiler pan or baking sheet. Proceed as above.
