Page 44 July 2012 “It works so much better than a knife.” Without missing a beat, she said, “Another great thing about this recipe is you can add to it. I add green beans or Parmesan cheese sometimes, but you can add anything.” Six years ago Tigue’s expertise became apparent to a teacher while she was cooking lunch for the kids. He asked her if she would be willing to cater his daughter’s wedding. One event turned into many and eventually Tigue’s catering company, Everyday Pasta, was born.

Grilling Continued from page 42 or later something that’s going to catch fi re is going to fall down there,” Padilla said. Padilla admits that a grill cleaning service isn’t the fi rst thing that comes to people’s minds when they fl ames start to sputter or won’t ignite at all, but he also pointed out that, generally, it only takes one visit to convince the grill owner it was worth the cost. “Ninety percent of my business is repeat business,” said Padilla. When he fi rst started his business, he asked if he could test out the de-greasing compound and steamer he bought from the national company on his friends’ grills. “They kind of laughed at me,” Padilla said. “They’re my best customers now.” Padilla’s crew put the grill on a tarp (or surround a built-in grill with one), disassemble it, steam clean the exterior and any other steam-cleanable parts, vacuum the inside —“spiders like to get in there,” he said — degrease it and put it back together again. He also lines drip pans with heavy-duty foil because, as he pointed out, “trying to replace it isn’t cheap.” Neither is replacing a grill, which is why Padilla suspects business has been good lately. “With the economy getting bad, everybody’s wanting to save money,” he said. “They always think they’ll have to replace a part, but usually they don’t.” Padilla did offer some suggestions about keeping a grill in good, clean condition. First, he said, lightly oil the grate every time. This prevents food from sticking to it and also makes it easier to clean, which should be done immediately after using it. Also, fl ip that grate over on occasion and don’t always use the same side. “A clean grill is a happy grill,” Padilla said. And a safer one, too.

Page 45 July 2012 BEER BRAISED PULLED PORK For the dry rub: 2 tablespoons salt About 40 grinds black pepper 2 tablespoons chili powder 1 tablespoon garlic powder 2 teaspoons ground coriander 2 teaspoons ground mustard seed 12 oz. Guinness beer (almost any beer works, but this makes it extra good) 4 cloves garlic, chopped 1 5-lb. pork butt ( aka : shoulder) • Combine rub ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Rub all over pork. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. • Preheat oven to 500°F. Unwrap pork and place in a roasting pan with sides about 2 inches high. • Cook 45 minutes until dark browned and even blackening in places. Remove from oven. Lower oven to 325° F. • Pour beer over the top and add chopped garlic on and around the pork. Cover tightly with heavy duty aluminum foil or twice with regular foil. • Poke about 10 holes all over the top of the foil. Cook pork 3 hours longer until it’s so tender that it falls apart easily. • Place the meat on a plate and pour the pan juice (there will be plenty) into a saucepan. To the pan juices add: 1/2 cup ketchup 2 tablespoons whole grain Dijon mustard 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce 1/3 cup dark brown sugar • Bring to a simmer until reduced by half and thick, about 20 minutes. • While the sauce is boiling down, pull apart the pork with your fi ngers (of course wash your hands fi rst). • If you will be using all the meat, pour sauce over meat and mix thoroughly. A good idea if you will only be making a few sandwiches: put the amount of meat you need for your sandwiches in a large bowl and mix desired amount of sauce in. Reserve the rest to put on the side or for leftovers (meat works well for tacos). It’s also a good idea not to overdo the sauce in the meat; just add as needed. This helps to reduce the chance of a soggy sammy. By Amanda Goossen The fi rst thing I learned when moving to Phoenix last year was that cooking on a BBQ in July was something only the born- and-raised Phoenicians were prepared to do. Leaning over the grill as you fi nd the right temperature and attempt to cook a masterful meal is nearly impossible in the kind of heat Arizona is prepared to throw at you once summer has of fi cially begun. Not to mention the monsoons … who can think of trying to BBQ when a giant storm is threatening overhead? To satisfy the need for BBQ on the Fourth of July, while still giving yourself a chance to jump in the pool and enjoy the guests who have gathered to honor our great country, I give to you, Beer Braised Pulled Pork. The recipe originally came from the Food Network but has been modi fi ed over the past eight years as I’ve prepared it again and again. Avoid heat of grilling ALL-AMERICAN FRUIT KABOBS 2 cups sliced strawberries 1 ½ cup blueberries 1 ½ cup mini marshmallows 12 (approximately) plastic or wood skewers Using strawberries, blueberries and mini marshmallows, alternate in whatever pattern you see fi t, sliding items onto the skewer. Repeat until fi nished.
