Cook Within: Cutting sweet potatoes into evenly sized ½” pieces will help them cook evenly. Help yourself gauge size by using the Home Chef logo on the front side of this card—it’s exactly ½” across! Impress your diners (and yourself) by getting pro-looking crosshatch marks on grilled meats. Imagine your grill is a clock and place meat on grill so tip points at 10 o’clock. After 2-3 minutes, rotate so tip points at 2, and cook another 2-3 minutes. Repeat on second side. This enhances presentation, allows meat to cook evenly, and gets great char flavor. Wasakaka is Dominican in origin and shares many of the same ingredients as Argentine
