MIX & MATCH
Use multiple varieties of Bush's Beans for flavor and texture. Try hot olive oil, garlic, cannellini beans and oregano—simmer, cool and add tuna and celery for a delicious dish.

BOIL TO PERFECTION
Put tomatillos in just enough water to float, and bring 'em to a boil. Cook until dark green—but remove before they begin to crack!

HUSK LIKE A PRO
Mexican-staple tomatillos are enclosed by an inedible husk. Peel away the papery layer and rinse them before adding to your dish.

A BEAN FOR EVERY OCCASION
Pinto, black and kidney beans make the ultimate chili. Or cook up garbanzo beans, olive oil and garlic, then add mint, harissa and feta for something new.

SKIP THE RINSE
Never rinse roasted chilies—simply wipe the skin off to save the flavor. (Remove the seeds for a little less spice!)

LET IT BURN!
Roast your chilies over a flame—the blacker the better. Then let them rest in a covered dish so they're easier to peel.

UNCOVER THE FLAVOR
To concentrate the flavor of your steak or chops, leave uncovered on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator (away from other foods) for up to 24 hours before grilling.

GO THIN FOR FAST FLAVOR AT THE GRILL
Thin cuts of meat absorb more marinade and spices versus larger cuts.

LOCK IN THE SPICE
Mix your favorite bold spice combinations together, such as cumin, black pepper and chili powder, to create a thick crust of spices on both sides of your meat before grilling.
