1

Inject the bondiola with a mixture of beer, garlic, honey, and butter for moisture and flavor.

2

Season the bondiola with salt and black pepper.

3

Sear the bondiola on the grill for about 7 minutes on each side over high heat until crispy and smoky.

4

Wrap the bondiola in aluminum foil and return it to the grill to cook for about 1 hour.

5

While the bondiola cooks, heat oil in a large pan and add chopped onion and red bell pepper, cooking slowly until translucent.

6

Add minced garlic and jalapeño to the pan and continue cooking until the vegetables are tender.

7

Once the vegetables are tender, season with salt and black pepper, then add grated zucchini and corn to the mixture.

8

Season the corn mixture with crushed chili and dried herbs, and cook until the corn is tender, about 15 minutes.

9

Remove the corn mixture from heat and mix in grated cheese and fresh basil.

10

Prepare bamboo leaves for wrapping; place two leaves on top of each other, add a spoonful of the corn mixture, and a few cubes of cheese in the center.

11

Fold the leaves over the mixture to form a packet, securing it with kitchen twine if necessary.

12

Place the packets on the grill to heat and melt the cheese, cooking until the leaves are slightly charred.
