Busy Grill
4 medium poblano chiles
2 medium red bell peppers
3 medium sweet potatoes, scrubbed,
and cut into 1/2 inch rounds
12 scallions, with green tops intact, trimmed*
4 medium ears corn, husked, silks removed,
cut into 2 inch rounds
1/2 small pineapple, trimmed and cut
into 1/2 inch rounds, coated with oil
18 corn tortillas
2 Mexican limes, cut into wedges
2 cup fresh tomato salsa
Prepare a charcoal grill, allowing the coals to burn until ash covered
with some red still glowing through. Place chiles and bell peppers in the
center of the grill rack directly above the coals and cook for 20 to 25
minutes, turning once or twice, until charred all around. Remove and let
cool. Peel and seed all the peppers. Slice into 1/4 inch strips and
transfer to a platter. Set aside. While the peppers char on the grill,
arrange sweet potato slices on the rack around the edges of the fire, not
directly over the heat. Grill for 15 to 20 minutes, turning once, until
golden on both sides and cooked through. Transfer to the platter. Pace
onions in the center of the grill with the bulbs facing in and the tops
facing out. Place corn pieces between the onions wherever you find room
for them, but not directly over the coals. Grill onions and corn, turning
once, until the onions are singed, but not burned, and the corn is tender,
about 12 to 15 minutes. When done, transfer the onions and corn to the
platter with the other vegetables. When there is room on the grill rack,
add pineapple slices, slightly to the edge of the coals - not directly
over them. Cook, turning once, 6 to 8 minutes, or until the slices are
somewhat soft and nicely charred but still moist. Transfer to the platter.
Place tortillas on the grill and lightly toast on both sides, about 4
minutes altogether. Arrange all vegetables on a serving platter and pour
the collected juices from the kitchen platter over the top. Tuck lime
wedges in and around the vegetables. Serve immediately, accompanied by
tortillas and salsa on the side.
