Maple Teriyaki Chicken Wings

Take these to your next party!

8 whole chicken wings, split, tip discarded

Marinade:
2 Tbsp sesame oil
2 Tbsp soy sauce
2 garlic cloves, minced
1-inch fresh garlic, peeled and finely minced
1 jalapeño pepper, minced

Maple Teriyaki Glaze:
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 Tbsp seasoned rice vinegar
1 Tbsp sesame oil

1 Tbsp golden toasted sesame seeds
1 Tbsp black toasted sesame seeds

Mix the marinade together in a large bowl.  Add the wings and marinate at least an hour, or ideally overnight, covered in the refrigerator.
When ready to cook, heat grill to high and return wings to room temperature.  Grill wings for about 5 minutes to lightly brown each side.  Turn half the grill off and place wings on side turned off.  Cover and cook with indirect heat about 10 minutes, turning once.  


Paint wings with glaze and grill over medium direct heat until nicely browned, turning and glazing often.  Place wings in a wide serving platter and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Serve with celery sticks and your favorite dip.

Umami Beef Short Ribs Samin Nosrat

This is the penultimate prep for beef short ribs.  Based on the superb documentary by Samin Nosrat, Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat, this is the most umami rib dish you will ever have.  Its the combination of red miso and soy sauce that marinates and flavors the beef - give it a long time to work right - that means overnight in the fridge; it's worth the planning ahead. 6 beef short ribs on the bone, about 3-4 lb 1 large sweet yellow onion, diced 2 stalks celery, diced 1 jalapeño pepper, minced 4 cloves garlic, halved Marinade: 1/4 cup red miso 1/4 cup soy sauce 1/4 cup pale dry sherry or Mirin rice wine 1 Tbsp sesame oil 1 Tbsp honey 2 cloves garlic, minced Salt the ribs generously with coarse salt and let rest overnight in the refrigerator in a resealable plastic bag. Whisk together the marinade.   Pour into the plastic bag and allow to marinate on the counter for about 2-3 hours, or again overnight in the refrigerator. Preheat oven to 375F. 

Scrambled Benedict

This is the ultimate Sunday brunch item. Don't be intimidated about making a Hollandaise sauce - it is so much easier and quicker than you may think. And it is oh, so luscious over eggs.  You can poach your eggs or fry them; whatever you prefer.  My favorite is poached, but others in the family like scrambled better, so I scrambled. Happy brunching. Hollandaise Sauce: 2 egg yokes, in a small bowl 1/2 cup butter, just melted in microwave 1 Tbsp lemon juice 1 tsp Dijon mustard 1/4 tsp salt ~1 Tbsp lukewarm water 2 English muffins 2 remaining egg whites 3   eggs 1 Tbsp cream dash dried dill Set up a double boiler (I use a medium pot with a metal bowl on top), and bring 2 cups water to the boil. Reduce heat to low. In the yet unheated double boiler top bowl, whisk together the butter, lemon juice, mustard and salt. Warm over double boiler. Whisk the egg yokes together.   Slowly whisk the yokes into the warmed butter mixture, drizzling the yokes in slowly.   Whisk continuously.   If the
