Rachael pairs a mixed grill of lamb, beef and chicken with charred lemon, tri-color salad and a gutsy pimentòn-flavored caper chimichurri.

"This is a type of meal that I just love," she says. You can grill the meat, but Rach really likes to cook it a la plancha, on a flat surface, on the stove because it creates a great even crust. And no grill flareups! Serve with peeled potato wedges or chunks tossed with salt, pepper, granulated garlic and dried oregano and then roasted.

  • 1-1 ½ teaspoons pimentòn or smoked paprika

  • 6 skin-on, boneless chicken thighs

Bring meats to room temperature and massage coarse salt into them, about 2 ½ tablespoons total. Lightly spray the meats and then grill or griddle a la plancha in skillet about 7 to 8 minutes total for the short ribs, a minute less for the lamb and 3 minutes more for the chicken. Char the cut side of the lemons.

Sprinkle the meats with pepperoncino.

Dress the greens and mixed grill with lemon juice from the charred lemons and EVOO. Add onion, then top the greens and meats with the chimichurri.
