1 cup chopped celery

Roasted Broccoli with Garlic
Submitted by: Lynn Germal, FL.
Ingredients:
1 bunch broccoli, about 1 1/2 pounds, cut into bite sized flowerets
3 T extra virgin olive oil
6-8 cloves fresh garlic
salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste

Directions: Preheat oven to 450 F. Cut broccoli into bite sized pieces, and peel and slice stems if large. Slice garlic cloves, and cut slices in half. Toss broccoli with olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper, then spread on a baking sheet. Roast until broccoli is bright green and edges are starting to brown slightly, 20-30 minutes. Serve hot.


Roasted Broccoli with Soy Sauce and Sesame Seeds
Submitted by: Lynn Germal, FL.
Ingredients:
1 lb. fresh broccoli florets (see trimming instructions)
1 1/2 T olive oil
1 T soy sauce
1 tsp. sesame oil
1 T sesame seeds, toasted

Directions: Preheat oven to 450 F (or use 475 and shorten the cooking time slightly.) (You can trim broccoli stems and roast them with the florets; peel and cut into 1/4 inch thick pieces if you're cooking the stems. I saved the stems to cook separately.) Cut broccoli into pieces about 2 inches long. Then cut through stems just to where florets start, and break apart so broccoli is in same-sized pieces. (This method of cutting through the stems and then breaking the broccoli apart also eliminates the mess when you cut broccoli and small bits fall off.) Place broccoli in plastic mixing bowl and toss well with olive oil, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Arrange in single layer on baking sheet and roast 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, stir and continue roasting 5 minutes more, or until broccoli is tender-crisp and slightly browned on the edges. While broccoli roasts, toast sesame seeds in a dry pan over very high heat for 30-60 seconds. When broccoli is done, put it back into plastic bowl, dump in sesame seeds, and toss again. Serve hot.

Dale's Flank Steak
Submitted by: Chris Dale, Mass.

INGREDIENTS
One 12-ounce jar orange marmalade
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 tablespoons A-1 steak sauce
1/2 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
3 pounds flank steak
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

DIRECTIONS
In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and mix 'em up well. Set aside 1 cup of the marinade and add the flank steak to the remaining marinade and coat well. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Preheat your BBQ grill so it's pretty darn hot. Toss the steak on the grill, pour some of the marinade on top. After a minute to get a good sear, flip the flank steak over and pour a bit more of the marinade on that side. Discard any leftover marinade (since it had been on raw meat). Turn the BBQ burner down to medium. Flip again after 4 more minutes, and then remove after 4 additional minutes. This will be fairly rare; add a 1-2 minutes per side for more well done. While you let the flank steak sit for 5 minutes, microwave the cup of marinade that you put aside earlier so it is good-n-hot. Spread half of the marinade across the steak and cut again the grain into thin slices. Provide the last of the marinade for those that want a little extra on their pieces, and start chowing down!

Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Garlic granulated, to taste
1 slice Cheddar cheese

Directions: Preheat skillet or grill to 550 degrees F.

While steak is cooking, cut onions and peppers. Melt butter and sauté onions and peppers. Season with salt, pepper and garlic. Reduce heat and hold until steak is cooked. For final minute of steak cooking, top with cheese slices. Plate for service with onions and peppers and serve with your favorite side dishes.

Chicken Chunks with Peanuts in Spicy Sauce
Serving Size : 4

Ingredients:
1/2 cup Peanuts -- raw
3 cups Peanut Oil
2 whole chicken breasts -- room temperature
1 large egg white
1 1/2 tablespoons water chestnut flour
-----SAUCE-----
4 green onions
2 large cloves garlic
1 tablespoon minced ginger root
1/2 cup chicken stock
1/2 tablespoon sesame oil
1/2 tablespoon Chinese red vinegar
1/2 tablespoon dark soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons chili paste with garlic
1 tablespoon dry sherry
1 pinch sugar
1 cornstarch paste

Directions: Trim ends off green onions and cut light green and white part into 1" sections. Mix all other sauce ingredients in 2-quart saucepan. Reserve.
Pull skin off breasts, then pull chicken meat from bones. Slice meat into 1" strips, then crosswise to make 1" chunks. In bowl large enough to hold chicken, add egg white to water chestnut flour. Beat mixture with a single chopstick (not an egg beater or whisk). Stir chicken pieces into egg mixture to coat thoroughly. Marinate 5 minutes. Note: water chestnut flour gives a lighter crust than cornstarch, though the latter may be substituted.

Deep-frying: Heat cooking oil in wok or deep-fryer to medium heat (you'll need more oil for deep-fryer). Fry peanuts until they are a light tan color; if a test peanut browns quickly, turn down heat. Remove peanuts with strainer or slotted spoon; drain on paper towel or paper bag. Reserve. Turn up heat slightly for chicken. Test a chunk first: chicken should raise to surface immediately & brown in about 2 minutes. Deep-fry coated chicken chunks until golden brown. Deep-fry no more than 8 chunks at a time. Use long chopsticks or spatula to keep pieces separate while they are frying. Remove with long chopsticks or slotted spoon. Reserve. Sauce: While deep-frying chicken, heat sauce to simmer. Add green onions & peanuts about a minute before serving. At the last minute, add chicken pieces to sauce, mix quickly & serve.

3 onions, coarsely chopped
2 large carrots, quartered lengthwise, sliced 1/2-inch thick
1 jalapeño pepper, sliced
1 tablespoon minced garlic
6 Roma tomatoes, cut in half lengthwise
1 (32-ounce) can plum tomatoes
1 to 2 ounces canned chipotle in adobo sauce
Salt and pepper to taste
16 ounces medium-body beer
6 cups chicken stock
6 tablespoons red wine vinegar
6 tablespoons lime juice
Spice Mix:
4 tablespoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon toasted, ground cumin
1 tablespoon toasted, ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon grated lime zest
1 tablespoon crumbled achiote

Directions: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spice mix: Combine all ingredients; blend well. You will not need all of the mix. Save remainder for another use (chili, pot roast, stews, ribs, pork roast and the like). Season the brisket with 3 tablespoons of the spice mix. Season the flour with 4 tablespoons of the spice mix. Dust the meat with the seasoned flour. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meat and sear on both sides. Remove to a large plate. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the pan. When hot, add the onions, carrots, jalapeño and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are caramelized. Add the Roma tomatoes and cook until they break down. Add the canned tomatoes and chipotles, then season with salt and pepper. Cook to a stew like consistency. Add the beer and stock. Return the brisket to the pot, cover loosely with aluminum foil and place in the oven. Roast for 3 to 3 1/2 hours, or until is tender. To test for doneness, stick a 2-tined meat fork into the thickest part of the brisket. Lift the roast. If the fork will not quite hold the weight of the meat, it is perfect. Remove the brisket and reserve. Reduce the sauce until it is slightly thickened, then strain out the solids. Transfer the solids to a blender and liquefy with a small amount of sauce. Mix the blended solids back into the sauce. Add vinegar and lime juice. Adjust seasoning. Let the brisket rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
