GRILLED TANDOORI-SPICED CHICKEN OVER GREEN PAPAYA SALAD
Steps:
- With a sharp paring knife, make 2 to 3 (1/2-inch deep) diagonal cuts in each piece of chicken, being careful not to cut all the way through.
- In a small saute pan set over moderate heat, combine the ginger, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, cardamom pods, and cayenne. Cook, gently shaking the pan, until you can smell the spices, approximately 1 minute.
- Transfer the spices to a spice/coffee grinder and grind the spices finely.
- Transfer the chicken pieces to a large resealable plastic bag and add the spice mixture, garlic, and lemon juice and toss to coat thoroughly, making sure the rub penetrates the cuts. Marinate the chicken in the refrigerator, for at least 5 hours or overnight.
- Preheat grill.
- Remove chicken pieces from the plastic bag and pat them dry. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Rub the chicken pieces thoroughly with half the shortening.
- Grill chicken on an oiled rack 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals or on a gas grill for 7 to 10 minutes per side. While grilling, brush on the remaining shortening. When the chicken pieces are cooked through, transfer to a platter. Let chicken stand while preparing salad.
- In a sieve, drain the yogurt for 15 minutes. In a bowl, combine yogurt, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, cilantro, cayenne, salt, and pepper, to taste.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the pressed garlic, lime juice, fish sauce, and sugar, and blend until the sugar is dissolved.
- Add chile, papaya, carrot, and cilantro to the dressing, tossing well. Salad may be made 2 hours ahead and chilled, covered. Bring salad to room temperature before serving. Serve salad sprinkled with peanuts.

GRILLED VANILLA-GINGER PINEAPPLE
Sherry Yard has a wonderful recipe in her first cookbook, "The Secrets of Baking," called Roasted Voodoo Vanilla Pineapple. She roasts her pineapple with the dried vanilla pods that you save after you've scraped out the seeds, and fresh ginger. She inserts the pods into the flesh of the pineapple, a great idea if you're roasting the pineapple for a long time. I decided to use vanilla extract instead of the pods, because during the relatively short time on the grill they infused only the section of the pineapple they had been stuck into. I add vanilla to the ginger syrup and baste the pineapple with this sweet and pungent mix. You could also simply drizzle the pineapple with honey.

Steps:
- Cut ends off pineapple. Quarter lengthwise, peel and core.
- Prepare a hot or medium-hot grill. (If you are using the grill after cooking meat or fish, allow residue to burn off and scrape away with a spatula.) Stir together vanilla extract, ginger palm sugar syrup or honey, and cayenne.
- Brush pineapple wedges lightly with butter or oil and place on grill. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes per side, basting with the syrup, until you see grill marks and the pineapple is lightly colored. Remove to a platter or to plates and brush on remaining syrup or honey. Garnish with fresh mint, and serve warm.

Tips:
- Choose ripe papaya: Look for papayas that are firm but slightly soft to the touch, with a deep orange or yellow color. Avoid papayas that are too hard or have green spots, as they will be less flavorful.
- Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will help you create clean, even slices of papaya. Avoid using a dull knife, as it will crush the papaya and make it difficult to slice.
- Roast or grill the papaya until it is slightly caramelized: This will bring out the natural sweetness of the papaya and give it a slightly smoky flavor.
- Use a variety of spices and herbs: Ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice are all great spices to use with papaya. You can also add fresh herbs like mint or cilantro for a pop of flavor.
- Serve the papaya as a side dish or dessert: Roasted or grilled papaya can be served as a side dish to roasted meats or fish, or it can be enjoyed as a dessert with a scoop of ice cream or yogurt.
Conclusion:
Roasted or grilled papaya is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. With its sweet and smoky flavor, papaya is a great addition to any meal. Whether you are looking for a healthy side dish or a sweet dessert, roasted or grilled papaya is sure to please.
