Chicken skewers

- BBQ: Brush the cool barbecue grill with vegetable oil. Preheat barbecue to medium. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes. Turn skewers once or twice during cooking. Cook until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 °F (74 °C).
Tomato, grilled peach and herb salsa
- In a pan or on the barbecue, grill peaches at high intensity to create visible marks and dice.

Bean, edamame, buckwheat, shiitake and roasted shallot salad

Cook in the oven for approximately 30 minutes or until golden. Leave to cool and slice the shiitake mushrooms.* For barbecue cooking, cut the shallots in two. Coat the shiitake mushrooms and shallots with olive oil and mirin. Season with salt and pepper. Cook on the indirect grill until golden.
