KERI WHITE | JE FOOD COLUMNIST

I am a huge fan of Mexican flavors —
chili pepper, cilantro, cumin and lime
are workhorses in my kitchen.

And this time of year, when the
weather is sweltering, I am especially
drawn to this cuisine. Maybe it is an
association with travels in Mexico,
when I have enjoyed these foods in
sultry temps, or maybe it is just that
they are delicious.

No matter the reason, I put togeth-
er a Mexican menu for a small dinner
party last week, and it was muy bueno.

The beans were a late addition — I
planned the fish and salad, but felt the
menu lacked heft, even on a hot sum-
mer night. So I threw a pot of black
beans together, and they ended up
being the star of the evening.
Bonus: They were great the
next day cold, atop a salad
for lunch.

Heat a grill to high; place the

cover, sear for two minutes,
then adjust the heat as follows.

On a gas grill, turn off one
section, lower the heat on the
others and move the fish to the
section that is turned off.

If you’re using charcoal,
move the fish to the exterior
as far from the direct heat as
possible.

Cover the grill and leave the
fish for about four more min-
utes on medium heat. Adjust
the cooking time as needed for
thinner or thicker filets.

For thinner cuts or for rare
fish (such as tuna), reduce the
final phase of cooking time
over low heat to two minutes,
or eliminate entirely.

Serve the fish with the
remaining green salsa.
