Arista di Maiale (Roasted Loin of Pork)

Ingredients:

1 Sprig fresh Rosemary, leaves only
4 - 6 Cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
6 fresh Sage leaves
Salt
Olive Oil
2 1/2 - 3 lb. boneless loin of pork

Preparation:

Pre-heat the oven to 375 F. On a cutting board, chop together the rosemary, garlic and sage until they practically turn into a paste. Add a pinch of salt as you do this, to extract the oils and to hold them together. Combine the resulting mixture with a tablespoon or two of Olive oil, then, using your hands, rub the mixture all over the pork. Cover and marinate for at least two hours at room temperature. Roast the pork for about 1 hour, or until a meat thermometer registers an internal temperature of 165 f. Remove the roast to a warm platter and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Allow the roast to rest for about 15 minutes before serving. In the meantime, deglaze the roasting pan with 1/4 to 1/2 cup of Vin Santo (If you want to be really Tuscan)or simply deglaze with hot water, scraping up all of the caramelized bits that have accumulated on the bottom and sides of the roasting pan. Slice and arrange meat--and potatoes if you're serving them--on a platter and pour the sauce over all.

STUFFED PICNIC BREAD

Ingredients

1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
1 cup warm water (110 degrees F)
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 egg
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup cooked ham, diced
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup chopped pimento
1/4 cup pitted olives, chopped

Directions:

In a small mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes. In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast mixture with the flour, egg, butter, sugar and salt; mix well. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, about 8 minutes. Lightly oil a large mixing, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine the ham, cheese, pimento and olive in a medium mixing bowl; set aside. Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll or pat the dough into a 10x14 inch rectangle. Make parallel cuts 3/4 inch wide and 2 inches long on the two long edges of the rectangle. Evenly spread the filling mixture over the center of the rectangle. Fold the short ends of the rectangle over the filling. Starting from one of these ends; alternately stretch strips from the two sides across the filling so that the strips overlap diagonally. Transfer the loaf to a lightly greased baking sheet, cover with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 to 30 minutes or until golden brown.

Yield: 1 loaf

Seafood Pie Recipe

Ingredients:

1 (9-inch) pie shell
2 Tablespoons butter or margarine
1/4 cup chopped green pepper
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1/4 cup chopped celery
1 (3 ounce) can mushrooms
1/2 pound lump crabmeat
1/2 pound shrimp, boiled and peeled
1 cup grated Cheddar cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup slivered almonds

Directions:

Bake pie shell partially at 400 degrees for 5 to 7 minutes. Melt butter in large skillet and saute green pepper, green onions, celery and mushrooms. Add crabmeat, shrimp, 3/4 cup Cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, Tabasco sauce, egg and mayonnaise. Stir well to combine. This mixture should be moist but not "runny," so drain off excess liquid. Spoon into pie shell. Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes. Add almonds and remaining 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese. Bake 10 minutes longer. Baking time can be shortened slightly by heating combined filling ingredients before spooning into pie shell. If fresh seafood is not available, canned seafood can be effectively substituted.

CAJUN BEER CAN CHICKEN

INGREDIENTS:

1 3 1/2 to 4 pound chicken
1 12-ounce can of beer
4 teaspoons dry cajun seasoning

DIRECTIONS:

Using a bottle opener, make three more openings in the top of the can. Empty 1/3 of the beer out to make it only 2/3 full of liquid. Lightly oil the exterior of the can with salad oil. Wash chicken inside and out and pat dry with paper towels. Sprinkle 2 teaspoons of dry cajun seasoning
(optional) into the cavity and two teaspoons over the outside of the chicken. Put a little foil on the tips of the leg bones to prevent blackening.

Set up gas or charcoal grill for indirect grilling. For charcoal grills, mound briquettes into two piles on opposite sides of grill. Light. Preheat only one side of gas grill, at a temperature of 350 degrees.

Stand the beer can on an aluminum pie plate, piece of aluminum foil, or special beer can chicken roasting pan.
Carefully ease the chicken onto the can, and spread drumsticks away from the body to support the bird in a tripod position. Add chicken, locating the bird between the two piles of charcoal on charcoal grills, or on tEnlacehe side away from heat on gas grills. Cover the grill and barbeque chicken over indirect heat for about 1 1/2 - 2 hours, or until the breast meat reaches 165 degrees.
Remove chicken carefully, as there may be hot liquid remaining in the can.

Yield: 4 Servings
