Magic happens when the warm spices in the rub meet the flavors of the cool grapes and scallions.

Preparation

  • In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, ground ginger, salt, cinnamon, and cloves.
  • In a medium bowl, mix the grapes, bell pepper, scallions, jalapeño, mint, lime juice, and 1/4 tsp. kosher salt and pepper. Let stand while you grill the meat. Before serving, adjust the lime juice, salt, and pepper to taste.
  • 建立一个热木炭火或高温气体烤架all burners on high for at least 10 min. While the grill heats, lightly coat both sides of the pork chops, chicken breasts, or turkey cutlets with the oil and rub with the spice rub. Clean the hot grate with a wire brush; oil the grate.
  • Grill the meat (uncovered for charcoal; covered for gas) over direct heat on the hottest part of the grill, taking care not to crowd the meat. Cook until the meat forms impressive grill marks on one side, 2 to 3 min. Turn and continue to grill (uncovered for charcoal; covered for gas) until the meat is just firm to touch and just cooked through, 1 to 2 min. for turkey cutlets; 3 to 4 min. for pork chops and chicken breasts, depending on their thickness. (If grilling pork, watch out for flare-ups.) Transfer to a serving platter and let rest for 5 min. Serve with the salsa spooned alongside or over the meat.

Try a medium-bodied white with vibrant fruit, herbal notes, and little or no oak, such as the Fontaleoni Vernaccia di San Gimignano, Tuscany—or a fruity young Grenache blend, such as the Delas Côtes du Ventoux, France. Both pair well with poultry or pork.

    Way good, lovely mix of favors... tastes meld to an incredible, different dish that all ages should love. Very, very good and a keeper in my simple household. Make this dish, you will love it.

    The recipe looked interesting and different from our usual chicken standards. The rub had a great combination of flavors so I knew it would enhance the chicken breasts. I didn't have the exact ingredients for the salsa, so substituted green, ruby and dark red grapes and red onion and it was still excellent - light and bright. I am married to a picky eater so I waited for his reaction as I savored my first complex and delicious bites. He loved it! I loved it. And it made a beautiful plate. I will definitely make it again soon and often.

    This spice rub has become my go-to when grilling. The sweet paprika and brown sugar really complements the grill smokey flavor. An instant favorite.
