CHICKEN GRILL ITALIENNE

6 whole boned, chicken breasts (skin on)
2 tablespoons green or yellow onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
garlic powder, salt and pepper (for sprinkling)
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon fresh Rosemary, minced
2 tablespoons fresh Parsley, minced
1/4 cup each of butter and olive oil
1 1/2 cups bread crumbs
1/2 lb thinly sliced ham or prosciutto, finely chopped
12 wooden toothpicks (soaked in water for 5 minutes)

Preheat grill so that coals are white hot in time for grilling.

Melt butter in microwave, stir in oil. To this warm mixture, add Parsley, Rosemary, minced garlic, chopped onion and paprika (a pinch of rubbed sage may optionally be added if you have it on hand, but be careful not to overdo). Allow the herbs to infuse for 10 minutes. Remove 3-4 tablespoons to a separate small bowl and use this to brush both sides of the chicken.

Place chicken breasts, skin side down, on a layer of wax paper or plastic wrap. Pound lightly with the back of a heavy frying pan or meat mallet until slightly flattened out. Sprinkle chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

In a small bowl, mix together bread crumbs with Parmesan cheese and chopped ham. Add remaining butter, oil and herb mixture to bread crumbs and stir until well combined (if mixture seems too thick, add a tablespoon or so of warm water or more olive oil).

Spoon stuffing mixture into the hollow part inside the chicken breasts. Fold edges of chicken over stuffing to cover and fasten together securely with wooden toothpicks.

Place chicken (about 6 inches away) over white hot coals on grill, skin side down. Grill on one side for about 20 minutes; brush again with more butter/oil mixture (if you run out, just use olive oil spray). Turn chicken over and grill for another 20 minutes or until chicken is tender and golden. Remove toothpicks and serve.

Variation: Place a slice of provolone cheese over each breast before stuffing and rolling up.

To make a great take-along lunch, this may also be prepared in aluminum foil pouches (one for each breast). Spray the inner side of the foil with olive oil and add a slice of or two of onion to each packet for extra flavor.

ROCK CANDY

1 1/2 c. white sugar
1 c. water

Dissolve sugar in the water and cook without stirring until mixture reaches 247 to 252 on candy thermometer.

Have a reusable foil 8 inch square pan ready. To prepare the pan, punch holes at the top edge of it and then lace about seven strings from one side of the pan to the other side. String ends will stick out of pan at outside top on both sides, but will lay on bottom of pan inside. Place this pan in a larger pan to catch excess syrup.

Pour syrup into laced pan to a level of 3/4 inch above the strings. Cover the surface with a piece of aluminum foil. Check the candy occasionally. This amount may take a week to crystallize, depending on humidity.

When crystallized, cut the strings and dislodge the rock candy from the pan. Rinse candy QUICKLY in cold water and then place on racks in a very low oven (175 degrees) until dry.

AUTHENTIC SICILIAN PIZZA

WARNING: No, this is NOT "deep dish" pizza. If it were, it would be called "Authentic Chicago Pizza". Also, if you are a sophisticated world traveler who lovingly remembers the taste of Neapolitan pizza - THIS IS NOT IT.

What this IS is a wonderful pleasant bread with light toppings that are really just a way of flavoring the bread - and using left-overs. So think of it as bread - not pizza. It is exactly the way great grandma (and her great grandma) made it. even some whole wheat if you want) 3 packets yeast (use fast rising if you must - we never have. If you use "blocks" of yeast you're on your own)

2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. sugar
2 c. water
4 tbsp. olive oil

INGREDIENTS FOR THE TOPPING:

2 or 3 small canned Italian plum tomatoes (we're talking left-overs, not a whole can). Squeeze them to release the water and then pull them apart into "pinch" size pieces (right - there's not much left and there isn't supposed to be much).

4 tablespoons chopped onion (maybe less - it's up to you).

1/4 pound raw Italian sausage with casing removed and pulled apart into "pinch" size "gobs" PLEASE USE GOOD SAUSAGE.

1/2 can flat anchovies (OK - not even all authentic Sicilians like anchovies - but this one does).

2 or 3 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese (we're talking a DUSTING NOT A DOUSING).

2 teaspoons dried herbs and spices for pizza (Dell Alpe Italian Seasoning for Pizza is available in a jar in the Chicago area).

If you have other left-overs you want to put on, fine, but this is BREAD not "Tombstone Pizza".

THIS IS WHAT YOU DO: 1. Put 5 cups of flour in a REALLY BIG BOWL.

2. Put the salt, sugar, and yeast in the bowl.

3. Mix it up a bit.

4. Get the 2 cups of water hot enough so you can put your finger in without burning it - my tap water gets hot enough.

5. Pour the water into the flour bowl and stir until all the flour is wet. If the mixture is not beginning to pull away from the side of the bowl, add some of the 1 cup flour you have left until it does leave the side of the bowl.

6. Add the olive oil and keep stirring. Using the flour you have left, keep adding flour until the mixture is JUST dry enough so you can work it with your hands. If the bowl is really big enough, you can do the kneading right there in the bowl (great grandma & I do). If you aren't lucky enough to have a bowl that big, I guess you have to take the dough out of the bowl and mess up your counter top. WHETHER YOU WILL USE ALL THE FLOUR LEFT FROM YOUR 1 CUP OR WHETHER YOU WILL NEED A LITTLE MORE DEPENDS ON THE HUMIDITY (or phase of the moon). IF YOU HAVE SOME LEFT OR NEED A LITTLE MORE - OK. The dough should be dry enough so you can knead it without having to pull it off your hands, but not so dry that your hands have no dough on them when you're done.

7. Wipe the inside of a medium size bowl (not metal or plastic) with olive oil.

8. Put the dough in the medium size bowl, then take it back out and turn it upside down (now there's oil on the top of the dough). Put a cloth over the bowl and let it rise for 1 hour.

9. When the hour is up, punch the dough in the middle to knock it down. Take it out of the bowl and knead it - maybe ten times, not a lot. Then let it rest for 10 minutes with the cloth back on it.

10. Put some olive oil on a round pizza pan (NOT DEEP DISH).

11. Use a rolling pin to start rolling the dough out - it's easier to finish shaping it into the pan by hand. Pull, stretch, push.

12. Put the cloth back over the dough and let it rise again for 1 hour.

13. When the hour is over, take the cloth off and brush a little olive oil over the top of the dough. Put the toppings on - giving each little "pinch" of topping a little push to keep in on the dough and put the Parmesan on last.

14. Put the bread into an oven preheated to 450 degrees and bake for about 18 minutes.

15. Let the bread cool ON A RACK. If you let it cool in the pan or on a flat surface the bottom will end up like cardboard.

2 or 3 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese (we're talking a DUSTING NOT A DOUSING).

2 teaspoons dried herbs and spices for pizza (Dell Alpe Italian Seasoning for Pizza is available in a jar in the Chicago area).

If you have other left-overs you want to put on, fine, but this is BREAD not "Tombstone Pizza".

THIS IS WHAT YOU DO: 1. Put 5 cups of flour in a REALLY BIG BOWL.

2. Put the salt, sugar, and yeast in the bowl.

3. Mix it up a bit.

4. Get the 2 cups of water hot enough so you can put your finger in without burning it - my tap water gets hot enough.

5. Pour the water into the flour bowl and stir until all the flour is wet. If the mixture is not beginning to pull away from the side of the bowl, add some of the 1 cup flour you have left until it does leave the side of the bowl.

6. Add the olive oil and keep stirring. Using the flour you have left, keep adding flour until the mixture is JUST dry enough so you can work it with your hands. If the bowl is really big enough, you can do the kneading right there in the bowl (great grandma & I do). If you aren't lucky enough to have a bowl that big, I guess you have to take the dough out of the bowl and mess up your counter top. WHETHER YOU WILL USE ALL THE FLOUR LEFT FROM YOUR 1 CUP OR WHETHER YOU WILL NEED A LITTLE MORE DEPENDS ON THE HUMIDITY (or phase of the moon). IF YOU HAVE SOME LEFT OR NEED A LITTLE MORE - OK. The dough should be dry enough so you can knead it without having to pull it off your hands, but not so dry that your hands have no dough on them when you're done.

7. Wipe the inside of a medium size bowl (not metal or plastic) with olive oil.

8. Put the dough in the medium size bowl, then take it back out and turn it upside down (now there's oil on the top of the dough). Put a cloth over the bowl and let it rise for 1 hour.

9. When the hour is up, punch the dough in the middle to knock it down. Take it out of the bowl and knead it - maybe ten times, not a lot. Then let it rest for 10 minutes with the cloth back on it.

10. Put some olive oil on a round pizza pan (NOT DEEP DISH).

11. Use a rolling pin to start rolling the dough out - it's easier to finish shaping it into the pan by hand. Pull, stretch, push.

12. Put the cloth back over the dough and let it rise again for 1 hour.

13. When the hour is over, take the cloth off and brush a little olive oil over the top of the dough. Put the toppings on - giving each little "pinch" of topping a little push to keep in on the dough and put the Parmesan on last.

14. Put the bread into an oven preheated to 450 degrees and bake for about 18 minutes.

15. Let the bread cool ON A RACK. If you let it cool in the pan or on a flat surface the bottom will end up like cardboard.

AUTHENTIC SICILIAN PIZZA

WARNING: No, this is NOT "deep dish" pizza. If it were, it would be called "Authentic Chicago Pizza". Also, if you are a sophisticated world traveler who lovingly remembers the taste of Neapolitan pizza - THIS IS NOT IT.

What this IS is a wonderful pleasant bread with light toppings that are really just a way of flavoring the bread - and using left-overs. So think of it as bread - not pizza. It is exactly the way great grandma (and her great grandma) made it. even some whole wheat if you want) 3 packets yeast (use fast rising if you must - we never have. If you use "blocks" of yeast you're on your own)

2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. sugar
2 c. water
4 tbsp. olive oil

INGREDIENTS FOR THE TOPPING:

2 or 3 small canned Italian plum tomatoes (we're talking left-overs, not a whole can). Squeeze them to release the water and then pull them apart into "pinch" size pieces (right - there's not much left and there isn't supposed to be much).

4 tablespoons chopped onion (maybe less - it's up to you).

1/4 pound raw Italian sausage with casing removed and pulled apart into "pinch" size "gobs" PLEASE USE GOOD SAUSAGE.

1/2 can flat anchovies (OK - not even all authentic Sicilians like anchovies - but this one does).

2 or 3 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese (we're talking a DUSTING NOT A DOUSING).
