Grilled Vegetable Platter

A grilled vegetable platter is the most underrated item at any barbecue — and the most versatile. Where meat requires precise temperature control and resting times, vegetables are forgiving: they tell you when they are done by releasing from the grates, and they improve with a few minutes of rest, during which the heat equalises and the marinade or dressing soaks in. The technique is the same across all vegetables: oil them generously (oil on the vegetable, not just the grate), grill on medium-high direct heat for the time each vegetable needs, and dress them hot — a vinaigrette applied to hot vegetables is absorbed rather than sitting on the surface. The key to a beautiful platter is timing: eggplant and peppers need the most time; zucchini and asparagus need the least. The trick is to work in sequence, pulling each vegetable as it finishes, and to arrange everything on one platter together so the final dish is warm and accessible.

Muhammara

Muhammara comes from Aleppo, Syria, and the name is Arabic for 'reddened'. It's a roasted red pepper and walnut dip with a flavor unlike anything else in the mezze world: sweet from the peppers, tangy from pomegranate molasses, earthy from toasted walnuts, with a slow heat from Aleppo pepper. Breadcrumbs give it body and a slightly grainy texture that holds up on pita. The dip improves overnight — the flavors round out and the texture firms slightly. Unlike hummus, which can be polarising, muhammara tends to win over everyone who tries it.

Lyulya Kebab (Azerbaijani Lamb Skewers)

Lyulya kebab is Azerbaijani ground-lamb skewers grilled over a mangal. The meat is kneaded long with grated onion and lamb tail fat until it turns dense and tacky — with no egg or bread, that kneading is what keeps it on the skewer. It grills to a browned crust and is served with sumac, pickled onion, and lavash.
