Chicken Skewers with Lemon and Cilantro
4 boneless chicken breasts
1 teaspoon ground coriander

2 tablespoons chopped, fresh cilantro
2 teaspoons lemon juice

1 lemon
1 1/4 cup of unsweetened yogurt
Oil for brushing
Salt and pepper


Cut the chicken into 1 inch pieces and place them in a shallow non-metallic dish.

Add the coriander, lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste, and 4 tablespoons of yogurt to the chicken and mix together until thoroughly combined.

Cover and chill for at lest two hours, preferably overnight.

To make the lemon yogurt, peel and chop the lemon discarding any pits.

Stir the lemon into the yogurt, together with the fresh cilantro. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Thread the chicken pieces onto skewers.

Brush the rack with oil and broil the chicken over hot mangrove wood charcoal for about 15 minutes basting with oil.

Transfer the chicken kabobs to warm serving plates and garnish. Serve with chilled lemon yogurt.

Herb Stuffed Loin of Pork
1 boneless pork loin
2 tablespoons mustard
2 garlic cloves, crushed
3 tablespoons chopped fresh or freeze dried chives
2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme, or 1 teaspoon dried
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary, or 1/2 teaspoon dried
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon coarsely cracked black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil

Trim all excess fat from meat. Cut down the length of loin halfway through and open up like a book to butterfly roast.
Combine mustard and garlic: rub all over meat.

Combine chives, sage, thyme and rosemary.

Sprinkle herbs evenly over opened side of pork.

Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper.

Fold roast back together and tie with butcher's twine or kitchen string that has been moistened with water to prevent burning. Season outside of pork loin with remaining salt and pepper; rub with olive oil.
Prepare a medium fire using mangrove wood charcoal.

Place pork on an oiled grill, set 4 to 6 inches from the coals.

Grill pork loin, turning and changing position occasionally, until golden brown and crisp outside and white throughout yet still moist, about 45 minutes. (Fire will probably be low by the time the meat is done.)
Let the roast stand 5 to 10 minutes before carving.

Teriyaki Salmon Steaks
3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons dry vermouth or sherry
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh ginger
1 garlic clove, minced
4 salmon steaks, cut 1 inch thick (about 5 to 6 oz. each)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Set hot fire using mangrove wood charcoal.

In a small bowl combine soy sauce, vermouth, sugar, ginger and garlic. Set teriyaki sauce aside.
Brush salmon with oil and place on an oiled grill, setting 4-6 inches from coals.

Grill, brushing fish several times with teriyaki sauce, until lightly browned on bottom, about 5 to 6 minutes.
Using a wide spatula, carefully turn salmon steaks over and brush cooked side with teriyaki sauce.

Continue to grill, basting frequently, until second side is browned and salmon is just opaque in center, about 5 to 6 minutes longer.
