Sangria comes from one of the world’s great grill cultures, Spain. While I’ve never seen anyone grill this refreshing wine cooler in the land of paella and chuletón, I think you’ll find the Project Fire version as spectacular to make and serve as it is to drink. In a nutshell, you crust the citrus fruits with sugar, then caramelize them over a hot fire before adding the wine. The resulting smoky burnt sugar flavor takes this sangria into the stratosphere.

2. Grilled Gazpacho
Gazpacho is Spain’s culinary lifeblood, a refreshing puree of vegetables that blurs the distinction between soup and salad. Grilling adds a smoky dimension that transforms this warm-weather soup from the realm of refreshing to unforgettable. If you are using a food processor, puree the vegetables first, then add the liquid.

5. Shrimp Grilled on Sugarcane with Dark Rum Glaze
Watermelon has long brought a barbecue to a joyful conclusion. You’re about to integrate it into your meal more fully: by turning it into a grilled salad. Picture the same moist crunch, the same refreshing sweetness. But grilling adds caramel (burnt sugar) overtones and a smoky element—especially when done over a wood or wood-enhanced fire. Queso fresco brings in a salty note that has an uncanny way of heightening a watermelon’s sweetness. More riotous flavor comes from a ginger-lime dressing, fresh mint, and candied nuts.

7. Hasselback Potatoes with Parmigiano-Reggiano
Craving a baked potato but don’t want to light the oven? We’re crazy about Sweden’s hasselback potatoes—potatoes that deliver the creaminess of a baked potato with the crispy crunch of potato chips. (This this one of our most popular web-based recipes!) Smoke-roast them on the grill for a stunning side dish or a filling main course. Top with cheese, butter, sour cream, salsa, diced bacon, ham, chorizo, chili, onions, or any other toppings you fancy. Kids love them, too.
