Mexico: One Plate at a Time with Rick Bayless "Summer and Smoke" 00:26 #609Z APTEX
Rick decides to beat the heat and get out of the kitchen with a mostly made-ahead backyard cookout a la Mexicana, inspired by one of his world-favorite meat eateries: El Canelo, near Guadalajara. It's a sprawling outdoor restaurant with dirt floors and strolling Mariachis, where slabs of succulent pork, lamb, goat and beef roast slowly on spikes in a walk-in wood-fired pit. And it's wood, not charcoal, that gives the meat its unforgettable smoky flavor, so Rick offers a quick lesson in setting up a home grill for wood-fired cooking. The menu is as casual as it is mouthwatering. For starters, there's an Heirloom Tomato "Carpaccio" with tomatillo, avocado and fresh herbs-a salad made with tomatoes grown in "Earth Boxes" (part of a groundbreaking educational program that teaches sustainable practices to kids all over the world) . And then, there's the cookout: sizzling Carne Asada Brava-rib eye steak. [TVG] R on 8/29 4:30pm; 8/30 1:30am
