Grill Your Way Around the Globe

Chicken, beef, pork, seafood and even burgers need little more than fresh herbs and, occasionally, special sauces to become global fare. A good marinade, for example, such as the Yuzu-Miso marinade featured in the pork chop recipe above, can transform ordinary pork chops into a feast from the Far East. (Worried you’ll stock up on bottles of exotic sauces that’ll never again be used? Our By the Book writer proves a few Japanese sauces go a long way, so fret not.)

When planning your internationally-inspired meal, you may even find that you already have all the necessary ingredients on hand, and that by simply combining spices and liquids in a new way, your entrée can take on a global identity. By marinating shrimp in familiar paprika, cumin, garlic and lime juice, grilled shrimp kebabs become Spanish Pinchos de Gambas.
