GRILLED PEPPERS
A friend made this the other day and it was great, so I had to share. The more colors you use the more colorful it is. Our friend just sprinkled oregano. We added the jalapeno for heat.

GRILLED CHILI
This is my extra-special chili recipe. It's a little time-consuming, but it's worth it! It's always a hit at potlucks. Watch out for the chipotle if you're not used to it--it can sneak up on you. Don't leave it out, though, as it imparts a deliciously smoky flavor to the chili. You can grill this over gas, but if you have the option of grilling over coals or a fire, do it--it'll taste much better!

Steps:
- Prepare a coal fire or preheat a gas grill.
- Measure the chili powder and chipotle into a large ziplock bag. Add some of the beef cubes, seal the bag, and shake to coat. Remove beef cubes and repeat until all the beef is well coated (add additional chili powder and chipotle if needed). Reserve any remaining spice mixture.
- Thread beef cubes on skewers. Thread the peppers on skewers separate from the beef (use 2 skewers, one at each end of pepper, to make turning easier).
- Grill beef and peppers until beef is barely done (do not cook too well, or beef will be tough), about 10 minutes or so, and peppers are blackened, about 15-20 minutes.
- Remove beef cubes from skewers and set aside.
- Remove peppers from skewers, wrap in damp paper towels, place in a paper bag and fold close. Let rest for 15 minutes or until cool enough to handle, then peel skin from peppers, seed, and dice.
- Meanwhile, in a large saucepot, heat oil and saute onions and garlic until onion is tender and garlic is white or pale golden (do not let garlic get dark).
- Add beef, peppers, beans, tomatoes with juice, tomato sauce, and reserved spice mixture. Bring to a simmer and simmer, uncovered, for about 20-30 minutes or until beef is tender and seasonings are well blended.
- Serve with garnished with shredded cheese or sour cream, if desired.

GRILLED PEPPERS AND ZUCCHINI
This versatile side dish is so simple and quick that I had to share it. Grilling the colorful veggies in a foil packet means one less dish to wash, but I sometimes stir-friy the mixture on the stovetop. -Karen Anderson, Fair Oaks, California

GRILLED SAUSAGES, PEPPERS AND ONIONS
The well-loved trifecta of sausages, peppers and onions can be found at Italian street fairs, ballparks and on weeknight dinner tables. They're often roasted or braised, but this recipe makes smart use of a grill: Sausages cook over indirect heat to prevent bursting, while peppers and onions soften and char over the flames. At the end, while the sausages and rolls spend a few minutes over direct heat to brown and crisp, the cooked vegetables rest in a tart vinaigrette to balance the sweetness of the peppers. Tuck the sausages and vegetables into the roll, then add mustard, giardiniera, mozzarella or nothing at all.

Steps:
- Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for two-zone cooking over medium-high heat. (For a charcoal grill, pour the coals on one side. For a gas grill, heat all burners covered on high, then reduce one burner to medium-high and turn off the other. If your grill has three burners, reduce the outer two to medium-high and turn off the middle.)
- Meanwhile, remove sausages from the package to come to room temperature and to air-dry. In a large bowl or baking dish, toss the peppers and onions with olive oil, salt and pepper to coat. Lightly brush the interior of the rolls with olive oil.
- Clean and oil the grates. (Dip the trimmed end of the onion in oil and use it to grease the grates). Place the peppers and onions over the flame (direct heat) and place the sausages where there is no flame beneath (indirect heat). Cover and cook, flipping occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and charred in spots and cooked through, 14 to 20 minutes. (To keep all of the juices in, insert the thermometer into the ends of the sausages as opposed to pricking the sausage casing.)
- To the now-empty bowl or baking dish, add the vinegar, 3 tablespoons olive oil, and oregano, if using. Season with salt and pepper. As the vegetables finish cooking, add them to the bowl and toss to combine. Move the sausages to direct heat and cook, turning often, until charred and crisp, 2 to 4 minutes. (Cover if using a gas grill.) Transfer to the bowl of vegetables to rest for a few minutes. Grill the cut sides of the buns over direct heat until toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Divide the peppers, onions and sausages between rolls.
Tips:
- Choose the right peppers and chiles: Different varieties of peppers and chiles have different levels of heat and flavor. Choose peppers and chiles that are appropriate for your desired level of spiciness and flavor profile.
- Prepare your peppers and chiles properly: Wash and dry your peppers and chiles before grilling. Remove the stems and seeds if desired. You can also slice or dice your peppers and chiles into smaller pieces for easier grilling.
- Use a well-oiled grill: A well-oiled grill will help prevent your peppers and chiles from sticking. You can use olive oil, vegetable oil, or even cooking spray.
- Grill your peppers and chiles over medium heat: Medium heat will help to cook your peppers and chiles evenly without burning them. Cook your peppers and chiles for 5-10 minutes per side, or until they are tender and slightly charred.
- Season your peppers and chiles: You can season your peppers and chiles with a variety of spices and herbs. Some popular options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and chili powder.
- Serve your peppers and chiles immediately: Grilled peppers and chiles are best served immediately after they are cooked. You can serve them as a side dish, appetizer, or even as part of a main course.
Conclusion:
Grilling peppers and chiles is a great way to bring out their natural flavors and add a touch of spice to your dishes. With a little preparation and attention to detail, you can easily create delicious grilled peppers and chiles that will impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy way to add some flavor to your meals, give grilled peppers and chiles a try.
