Making Chipotle Chilies
Chipotle chilies are smoked and dried jalapeños. The unique combination of smoky flavor with peppery heat makes these perfect for so many uses. These can be put in soups, sauces and beans. Ground into powder they can be added to spice rubs or sprinkled over virtually anything.

Grilling Eggplant - Making Baba Ghanoush
Baba Ghanoush is a traditional Middle Eastern dish that is so beloved it traveled the ancient world from India to Morocco. While recipes will vary the basics of this fantastic dish remain. Roasted eggplants, olive oil, tahini (kind of a sesame butter), garlic, and lemon juice. The base for this dish is fire roasted eggplant. To get these eggplants just right you need a lot of heat, not the kind of heat your oven can pump out but the heat of your grill.

Grilling Corn on the Cob
There are few things better than fresh corn on the cob. As a kid we grew a small patch of corn in the yard because Dad wouldn't eat corn that wasn't as fresh as possible. Now why would you want to boil all the flavor out of corn that fresh. Roasted on the grill you preserve the freshness of the corn and add the smokiness of the grill. So next time you find yourself with some really fresh corn on the cob, try grilling it for the best flavor.
