Steps:

• For the chutney:
• Heat the grill to high.
• Brush the nectarines with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill, cut side down until lightly golden brown, about 3 minutes. Turn the nectarines over and grill until just cooked through, about 2 minutes longer. Remove from the grill and coarsely chop.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a medium saucepan on the grates of the grill. Add the onion and cook until soft. Add the chile, garlic, ginger and mustard seeds and cook for 1 minute. Add the vinegar and sugar and cook until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens slightly. Stir in the nectarines and cook for 1 minute, season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl, cool, and stir in the raisins, coconut and mint. Let cool to room temperature before serving.

Add the ancho, turmeric, garlic, ginger, 1/4 cup canola oil and vinegar and whisk until it forms a paste. If the mixture is too dry, add a few tablespoons of water to loosen it to a paste.
• Place lamb in a large bowl, add the curry paste and toss to coat each piece of lamb. You can grill immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 4 hours to allow the flavors to intensify.
• Skewer 2 pieces of lamb onto 2 skewers so that the meat lays flat on the grill. Season both sides of the lamb with salt and grill until golden brown and slightly charred on both sides and cooked to medium-rare doneness, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drizzle with olive oil and serve with pita bread and chutney.

• While chutney is cooking, sandwich chicken between sheets of plastic wrap and pound with flat side of a meat pounder or with a rolling pin until 1/4inch thick. Pat chicken dry and brush tops with oil, then season with salt and pepper.
• When the fire is hot (you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack 1 to 2 seconds), place chicken, oiled sides down, on lightly oiled grill rack and grill 1 minute. Brush tops with oil and season with salt and pepper, then turn chicken over and grill until just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes more.

GRILLED DUCK BREASTS WITH NECTARINE- GREEN GRAPE CHUTNEY

Steps:

• In a medium saute pan, heat the oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add the onion and saute, stirring occasionally, until transparent, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the nectarines and grapes, and cook, stirring, until the nectarines are a bit browned, about 4 minutes. Add the vinegar, sugar, allspice, mace, basil and salt and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture just to a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer 10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Meanwhile, build a small fire in one side of a grill, using enough coals to fill a shoe box. Salt and pepper the duck breasts well and place them on the grill, withy the fat side down, along the edge of the fire. Cook them for 6 minutes, being careful of flare-ups caused by fat dripping into the fire. If flare-ups do occur, move the breasts so that they are not directly over the flames. You want them to cook slowly, allowing the fat to drip off at an even pace and giving the skin time to crisp. Flip the breasts over and cook 5 to 7 minutes more. When the duck breasts are nicely browned and as firm to the touch as the heel of your hand, they are medium rare.
• Pull the duck breasts off the fire, allow to cool for about 4 minutes, then slice them thinly on the bias and serve with the chutney.
