Grilled Sweet Potatoes with Orange-Chipotle Glaze

4 large sweet potatoes (about 2 lbs)
1 can chipotle chiles in adobo sauce
2 Tbsp butter, melted
1 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 tsp salt
1 (6oz) can thawed orange juice concentrate, undiluted

Heat up your grill.

Cut potatoes in half lengthwise. Cook potato halves in boiling water 5 minutes or until crisp-tender; drain. Rinse with cold water. While potatoes are cooking, remove 3 Tbsp adobo sauce from canned chiles. Save remaining sauce and chiles for another use. Combine 3 Tbsp adobo sauce, butter, cilantro, salt and juice in a small bowl. Grill potatoes 4 minutes on each side or until done, basting frequently with glaze.

Fish with Cornmeal Chipotle Crust

4 firm fish fillets (5-6 oz each)
1 Tbsp canned chipotles in adobo sauce, minced
1 1/2 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 1/2 Tbsp lemon or lime juice
1 large garlic clove, minced or pressed
1/4 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 c cornmeal

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly oil a large baking pan. Rinse fish fillets, pat dry and set aside.

In a bowl, combine the chipotles, oil, citrus juice, garlic, thyme and salt, and stir well. For a very smooth result, whirl all of the sauce ingredients in the bowl of a food processor.

Pour the sauce into a shallow bowl and place the cornmeal in another shallow bowl. Dip each fish fillet in the sauce 9the thicker the coating, the spicier the fish will be). Then dredge the fillets on all sides in the cornmeal and arrange in the prepared baking pan in a single layer.

Bake uncovered for about 25 minutes, until the fillets are golden and flake with a fork. Serves 4.
