Instructions

  1. Heat a grill to medium-high, about 425°F, and clean the grates. While it heats, trim 1 pound zucchini and slice it lengthwise into ½-inch planks; shuck 2 ears sweet corn.

  2. Pat 1½ pounds bone-in chicken thighs dry and season all over with 1 tablespoon plus ½ teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt. Whisk together the Yucatecan marinade:

    • ¼ cup orange juice
    • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
    • 2 cloves garlic, finely grated
    • 2 teaspoons ground annatto (achiote)

    Coat the chicken thoroughly and marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes.

  3. Brush the zucchini and corn with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season the zucchini with 1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt and the corn with ½ teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt.

  4. Grill the marinated chicken skin-side down over direct heat with the lid closed until well marked, 6 to 8 minutes. Turn the chicken and move it to a cooler section of the grill. Add the corn and cook everything with the lid closed for 8 minutes, turning the corn occasionally.

  2. Place the rinsed lentils in a saucepan with 3 cups water and 1/2 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt. Bring to a boil, reduce to a steady simmer, and cook uncovered for 12 minutes, until barely tender but not soft; drain well.

  3. Heat 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds.

Add the tomato wedges in one layer and cook for 2 minutes per side, until lightly blistered but still holding their shape. Season with 1/2 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper.

  6. Fluff the pilaf and fold in the prepared parsley, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Spoon into shallow bowls and plate the blistered tomatoes alongside.

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 425°F with a rack in the upper third. Grease two shallow 12-ounce baking dishes with 1 tablespoon unsalted butter and place them on a rimmed baking sheet.

  2. Clean and crack the 1½-pound cooked Dungeness crab. Pick the meat into a bowl, checking carefully for shell fragments; reserve about 6 ounces of meat and discard the shells and gills.

  3. Cut the kernels from 3 ears sweet corn. Finely dice 4 ounces yellow onion, mince 2 garlic cloves, and tear 2 crustless slices of white bread into small pieces.

  4. Heat 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil and 1 tablespoon unsalted butter in a wide skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion, corn kernels, and 1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt; cook for 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until glossy and lightly golden.

  5. Stir the minced garlic, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, and ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper into the vegetables for 30 seconds. Sprinkle in 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour and stir for 1 minute.

  6. Pour in ½ cup dry white wine and simmer for 2 minutes, scraping up the browned bits. Add 1 cup whole milk, ¼ cup heavy cream, and the torn bread; simmer for 4 minutes, stirring and pressing the bread into the sauce until thickened.

  7. Remove the skillet from the heat. Fold in the picked crab, ¼ cup finely grated Parmesan, 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice, 1 tablespoon chopped parsley, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Divide the chupe between the prepared baking dishes and sprinkle with the remaining ¼ cup Parmesan.

  8. Bake for 12–15 minutes, until the chupe is bubbling and deeply browned around the edges. Rest for 5 minutes.

  9. Set each baking dish on a heatproof plate and serve hot, with the golden crust and pieces of sweet crab visible.
