What do you know about tamarind?

We love to grill during the summer. Who doesn't? Something about a fat, juicy steak, asparagus, and corn on the cob fresh off the hot grill just screams summer. The flavors that hit your tastes buds are so different, giving them a full taste and sensory experience. (We love food here, so please forgive us if we go on and on. . . ) Perhaps its the summer sun and the crisp glass of Pinot Grigio that makes it all so vibrant. Non the less, it's one of our favorite seasons, and one of the best times for colorful fresh produce to add to your grilled feast.

Always popular for grilling months and never absent from a backyard picnic is the classic barbecue sauce. What about mixing it up this season? What do you know about tamarind fruit? It's tangy, sweet, and the perfect substitution for a tomato base.  In this week's episode, Greg prepares sirloin steaks with a Tamarind Honey Chile Garlic Glaze. Try it. We know it'll impress your friends!

His Celebrity Status Keeps Growing.

Last fall he defeated local chefs in a charity battle and was awarded the title “Iron Cook” by celebrity chef Michael Symon. This summer he’s taking his culinary skills to the airways as Mass Appeal’s “Official Chef.” Each and every week you’ll be able to see Chandler’s own Executive Chef and General Manager, Greg Monette, live on Channel 22’s lifestyle and entertainment show, Mass Appeal.

Filled with flavor and easy for the aspiring at home chef, Greg’s cooking focuses on a few core concepts: local, simple, and fresh.  Chandler’s regularly supports local farmers, and in Greg’s debut segment, you’ll hear all about The Kitchen Garden, located in Sunderland, MA.

On the menu this week? Squash Blossom Tempura. A secret learned from today’s episode? After stuffing your squash blossom (or any stuffed item, we love poblano peppers!), chill them before dropping them into your tempura batter.  
Stay up to date with Greg’s tips and recipes. Watch for him weekdays at 11 am, follow us on Facebook, or read our blog!
