Plank Grilling Pointers: Adding Flavor the Time-Honored Way

Planking is a great way to add smoky flavor to anything you put on the grill. Cooking on a plank tra nsfers flavor from the wood as the food cooks. Salmon on cedar is one of the more common types of planked food. However, nearly any food can be cooked over a plank to add subtle smoke and make a creative presentation. Planking probably began with Native Americans in the Pacific Northwest. They tied fish and game to Western Red Cedar and alder planks, then placed them around an open fire to cook over the indirect heat. Over the centuries, the practice of planking has moved from necessity to art, and now meats, poultry, vegetables, cheese, fruits, and even pizza can be cooked on a plank. The smoky flavor is what makes planking so popular. As a plank warms up, the natural oils and moisture from the wood become absorbed by the food. That transfer creates the flavor; different types of woods have their own distinct flavors. Pick a Plank: The type of food and the type of fl...

Make-Ahead Recipe: Crustless Mini-Quiches Recipe

The lack of crust makes them a snap. A pinch of grated cheese in the bottom of each mini muffin cup forms a shell, and the eggs and filling set inside. I always eat a few straight out of the oven on the first batch, but they're even better frozen and re-heated - crispy on the outside, with a warm, eggy middle. My mother always kept trays of these frozen quiches on hand, filled with our favorite morsels -- sausage, bacon, mushrooms and herbs. On a busy morning, or for company, she'd pop a dozen in the oven and turn out an effortless breakfast. Crustless Zucchini and Basil Mini-Quiches Recipe Makes 48 pieces; adapted from Fine Cooking Magazine 1/4 cup/38g/60ml cornstarch 1 1/4 cup/310ml whole milk 2 large eggs 2 large egg yolks 1 cup/250ml heavy cream 3/4 teaspoon/3.7ml kosher salt 1/8 teaspoon/.5ml nutmeg Oil, for the pan 1 tablespoon olive oil 4 cloves garlic, minced 2 shallots, minced 2 small zucchini, grated 1/4 cup/32.5g grated Gruyere or Parmesan cheese Fresh b...
