CHRISTINA'S PEANUT BRITTLE PORK SATAY WITH PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• Satay: Whisk together the coconut milk, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, curry powder and cilantro and pour into a shallow, nonreactive dish. Pound the pork chops until very thin and even and cut into 1 1/2-inch thick strips. Place in the dish and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours and up to 24 hours.
• Sauce: Stir all ingredients except peanut candy bars until smooth. Place in a serving bowl. Put the crushed peanut candy bar for the satay in a serving bowl.
• Remove the pork from the marinade and pat dry. Thread onto the skewers. Light a grill or heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the skewers until just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
• To serve, set out the bowls of peanut candy bar and sauce. Have guests dip the skewers first into the sauce, then in the peanut candy bar.

JANETTE'S CHICKEN PARMESAN VEGETABLE ROLL-UPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta, zucchini, broccoli, red pepper, and basil. Set aside.
• Put the chicken breasts in a large plastic bag and pound until very thin and of even thickness. Remove chicken from bag. Spoon a dollop of the ricotta mixture near the bottom edge of 1 piece of chicken and roll it into a cylinder, around the filling, like a jelly roll. Repeat with remaining chicken.
• Put the bread crumbs on a plate. Season the egg whites with salt and pepper. Heat the wine and olive oil in a large nonstick skillet. Dip the chicken roll-ups in the egg whites and then coat with bread crumbs. Place the roll-ups in the skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 10 minutes.
• Spread the tomato sauce in a shallow baking dish and place the chicken roll-ups over the sauce. Sprinkle with mozzarella. Bake for 30 minutes.
• Divide the roll-ups among 4 plates, spooning some sauce over the top. Sprinkle with diced tomato and serve immediately.

In a separate bowl, stir together shallot, garlic, ginger, lemongrass, cumin, coriander, turmeric, cayenne, fish sauce, lime juice, soy sauce, brown sugar and coconut milk, and pour over meat.

Add the garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, fish sauce, lime juice, cayenne and coconut milk, and process until well puréed. Transfer to a bowl, then taste and adjust seasoning. Thin a bit with lime juice or water as desired.

Grill over hot coals, under the broiler or on a stovetop grill pan for 3 minutes on each side, until cooked through and lightly browned.
