The aroma of fresh lemon verbena does wonders for this sweet and tart fruit dish. If you can't find it, you can substitute lemon zest or kaffir lime leaves. The flavored berries are delicious on their own, or spooned over ice cream or oatmeal.

Thumb_4561_Grilled Lamb Chops

For an elegant alternative to burgers, grill a few  beautiful lamb chops.  This is the simplest dish possible, letting all the meat's natural flavors come through. Lay several sprigs of fresh sage on the grill and cook the chops on top of them for a smoky, herbed variation.

As tender as beef filet is, it really isn't as flavorful as more marbled cuts like the sirloin or strip. Grilling your filet is a great way to remedy that. Be sure not to overcook it though, as the ensuing toughness willl undo any gains in flavor you got by grilling. A good meat thermometer is your friend here.

This variation on the classic panzanella is the perfect summer lunch. If you happen to have a little fresh oregano or marjoram, use that instead of the dried herbs. Leftover baguette is great in this salad, but any leftover bread will do. Not a Cookthink member? Sign up now for a free account to save your favorite recipes and build meals!
