3.  Ingredients
 10 pcs MONTEREY PORK LOIN STEAK or
PORK CUTLETS, boneless
salt & pepper to taste
1 and 1/2 cup all purpose flour
2 beaten egg
1 1/2 cup Japanese bread crumbs
cabbage, shredded thinly
lemon wedges
cooking oil for deep-frying
commercially available Tonkatsu or Barbecue
sauce

4.  Score the fat of the pork chops to prevent from curling. Lightly
salt and pepper the chops on both sides, then dredge in flour.
Shake off any excess flour, dip in beaten egg. Next press the
chops firmly into the breadcrumbs making sure that all surfaces
are well coated. Place them on a sheet pan covered with parchment
paper and refrigerate for an hour before using.
Deep-fry the porkchop in oil, turning once or twice until cooked
through and golden brown, approximately 4-5 minutes. The coating
should be quite crisp. Drain on a clean towel, then cut into 1-inch
strips, keeping the original shape of the chop.
 Serving Suggestion:Place shredded cabbage over half of a warm
serving plate. Place the porkchop on top of the cabbage toward the
center of the plate. Serve the sauce in a separate small dish for
dipping. Garnish with lemon wedges.
 Serve Tonkatsu or barbecue sauce with fried pork cutlet. Makes 10
servings.

6.  4 pounds of your favorite chicken parts
(legs, thighs, wings, breasts), skin-on
 Salt
 Vegetable oil
 1 cup barbecue sauce, store-bought
or homemade

7.  1 Coat the chicken pieces with vegetable oil and sprinkle salt over them on all sides.
Prepare your grill for high, direct heat. If you are using charcoal or wood, make sure
there is a cool side to the grill where there are fewer coals.
 2 Lay the chicken pieces skin side down on the hottest side of the grill in order to
sear the skin side well. Grill for 5-10 minutes, depending on how hot the grill is (you
do not want the chicken to burn). Once you have a good sear on one side, move the
chicken pieces to the cooler side of the grill, or, if you are using a gas grill, lower the
heat to medium low. Cover the grill and cook undisturbed for 20-30 minutes.
 3 Turn the chicken pieces over and baste them with with your favoritebarbecue
sauce. Cover the grill again and allow to cook for another 30 minutes. Repeat, turning
the chicken pieces over, basting them with sauce, covering, and cooking for another
30 minutes.
 4 By now the chicken should be cooked through. You can check with a meat
thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken piece. Look for 165°F
for breasts and 170°F for thighs. Or insert the tip of a knife into the middle of the
thickest piece, the juices should run clear. If the chicken isn't done, turn the pieces
over and continue to cook at a low temperature. If you want can finish with a sear on
the hot side of the grill. To do this, put the pieces, skin side down, on the hot side of
the grill. Allow them to sear and blacken slightly for a minute or two.
 5 Paint with more barbecue sauce and serve.

12.  1 pound (a large bunch) broccoli rabe, rinsed, cut into 1 1/2
to 2 inch pieces
 Salt
 2 Tbsp olive oil
 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (depending on how
spicy you like things)
 1 large clove garlic, chopped (about 1 to 2 teaspoons
chopped)
 2 ounces sun dried tomatoes (packed in oil), roughly chopped
 8 ounces penne pasta (or other favorite short pasta)
 1/2 ounce freshly grated Parmesan cheese
 More salt
 Freshly ground black pepper

13.  1 Bring two large pots (4-quart pots filled at least half-way) of water to a boil, one pot
for blanching the broccoli rabe, the other for the pasta. Whichever pot comes to a boil
first, in place the broccoli rabe. Blanch only for one minute, then use a slotted spoon to
remove the rabe from the hot water to a large bowl of ice water to stop the cooking.
Drain the rabe and pat dry with paper towels.
 2 Typically penne pasta takes about 10 minutes to cook to al dente. So start the pasta
before you start sautéing the rabe. When the water comes to a rolling boil, add a
tablespoon of salt to it, let the salt dissolve, then add the pasta. Once the water
returns to a boil, start the timer. Let the pasta cook, at a rolling boil, uncovered, for
whatever time is necessary to cook it to al dente, cooked through but still a little firm.
 3 Once the pasta is in the water, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large sauté pan on
medium to medium high heat. Add the chopped garlic and the red chile flakes. Cook until
the garlic just begins to brown at the edges. Then add to the pan the blanched broccoli
rabe. Toss to coat with the olive oil, chile flakes, and garlic. Sprinkle with salt.
 4 Cook the broccoli rabe about 5 minutes, until just tender. Stir in the chopped sun
dried tomatoes. When the pasta is done, drain it and add it to the rabe. Sprinkle
everything with black pepper and the grated Parmesan cheese. Toss to combine.
 Serve immediately.

15.  INGREDIENTS
 12-16 ounces dried short pasta (bowties, penne, gemelli, etc)
 4 chicken breast cutlets (1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds total)

and chopped

17.  8 ounces long, thin pasta such as spaghetti or
fettucini
 Salt
 1/2 cup vegetable oil (grapeseed or canola)
 3 thinly sliced cloves garlic

rinsed, seeded and deveined

and tails removed, the shrimp pieces cut into thirds
 Black pepper
 Freshly grated Parmesan
 Lime or lemon juice, fresh squeezed

18.  1 Put a large pot of salted water on to boil for the pasta when you start this recipe.
Once the water is boiling, add the pasta and cook until al dente. While the water is
coming to a boil and while the pasta is cooking, prepare the rest of the recipe as
follows.
 2 Heat oil in a small skillet on medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add sliced garlic.
Cook until lightly browned, then remove with a slotted spoon to a large bowl.
 3 Thinly slice the ancho chiles (can chiffonade as you would with basil, just roll up
into a cigar shape and slice crosswise). Add the sliced chiles to the hot oil and cook
ONLY for 20 to 30 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon to the bowl with the garlic.
Do not over-cook the chiles or they will get bitter.
 4 Add the raw shrimp to the pan with the now chile and garlic infused oil. Increase
the heat to high, cook for a couple minutes, stirring frequently, until the shrimp is
just turning pink. Remove from heat. Add the shrimp and oil to the bowl with the
garlic and chiles.
 5 Add the drained, cooked pasta to the bowl with the shrimp, garlic, chiles, and oil.
Sprinkle with salt and black pepper and toss to combine. To serve, portion out into
bowls, sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan and a little lemon or lime juice.
