Summer

Inspired by two classic Middle Eastern dishes – arayes and fattoush – grilled meatballs and pitta are tossed with a lemony salad and served over tahini yogurt.

The name for this Hawaiian dish comes from the word ‘huli’, meaning ‘turn’, as the chicken is turned during cooking. Served with a grilled pineapple salsa, it’s the meal you’ll barbecue all summer long
