    During this time of year, our taste buds tend togravitate toward lighter fare thats especially

    flavorful. Fresh main-dish salads naturally fit thebill, and its a great time to experiment withvinaigrettes to enhance the peak produce inseason. But vinaigrettes arent just for salads.Think of them as a sauce, especially for grilledfish, chicken and vegetables.

    A basic vinaigrette is simple to prepare. Theclassic oil to vinegar ratio is three parts oil toone part vinegar, but feel free to play withthese amounts. If you prefer a vinaigrette that

    has a bit more punch, use a ratio that is closerto two to one.

    Start with an acid, such as your favorite vinegarand/or citrus juice. Sharper vinegars includeapple cider and wine vinegars, but you can alsotry milder options such as Champagne,balsamic, rice and sherry vinegars. Add an

    emulsifier, typically Dijon mustard, which willhold the oil with the vinegar. And lastly, reach

    for extra virgin olive oil or a neutral-flavored oilsuch as vegetable oil.

    When making a vinaigrette, whether youprepare it in a blender or by hand with a whisk,its crucial in the beginning to add about halfthe oil drop by drop. This will help bind thevinaigrette. Thereafter, feel free to pour in theoil in a slow, steady stream.

    Your favorite seasonings can be added at the

    end. Experiment with fresh herbs, spices andcheese, or add sweetness with fresh berries,honey or brown sugar. For a savory vinaigretteto serve with a main dish, add a touch of heatsuch as fresh chiles, chipotles, hot sauce orginger. Minced almonds or walnuts will alsoadd a bit of texture. The possibilities are trulyendless. Happy cooking!

    Universally popular and available year-round,asparagus is appreciated for its versatility. Thereare hundreds of recipes using this member ofthe lily family, which can be steamed, roasted,grilled, baked or eaten raw.

    Low in calories and full of antioxidants,asparagus is considered a super food. A goodsource of fiber and protein, asparagus containstwo to three grams each per serving and delivers

    important vitamins and minerals, includingvitamins A, C and K, iron and manganese.

    When purchasing, look for firm stalks withtight, bright tips and stem ends that arenot dried out or split. Store this vegetablebouquet in the refrigerator up to four daysby placing stems upright in about an inch ofwater. Cover the asparagus with plastic wrap.When ready to prepare, thoroughly rinse theasparagus and simply snap off the ends of

    each stalk. They will naturally separate at thewoody part.

    Asparagus varies in size, with a range ofthicknesses including thin (pencil), regular andgrilling. The size of the spears is an indication ofthe plants age the thicker the spears, themore mature the asparagus plant. Thinner,tender spears are delicious when boiled briefly,then plunged into ice water and drained.

    Serve in a salad or on a vegetable tray with dip.Steam or saut regular asparagus and use thegrilling asparagus when you dont want it to fallthrough the grills grate. Roasting is also a greatoption for all spear sizes as it brings out thenatural sweetness of the vegetable. If you love

    just asparagus tips, look for these sold inconvenient eight-ounce packages in select stores.

    Referred to as white gold, white asparagus

    is considered a delicacy in many parts of theworld. White asparagus is grown undergroundto prevent the spears from absorbing sunlightand turning green. The thick, outer layer onwhite asparagus can be easily removed with avegetable peeler.

    Purple asparagus differs from green and whitevarieties due to its higher sugar content,giving it a slightly sweet flavor. The deep violettones come from high levels of antioxidants

    in the vegetables skin. Purple asparagusspears are also more tender than their greencounterparts, making them ideal for eatingraw. When cooked, its best to cook the spearsbriefly over high heat just until tender-crisp topreserve their vibrant hue. Also, using acidicdressings containing citrus and/or vinegar inthe finished dish helps enhance and maintainthe deep purple color.

    Prior to marinating the ribs, the me mbrane should be

    removed to allow the marinade to penetrate the meat.

    To peel the membrane from ribs, turn the ribs bone side

    up. With a sharp paring knife, carefully lift up the edge

    of the membrane from a corner of the slab. Work your

    fingers between the membrane and rib meat to loosen

    the membrane. With a paper towel in your hand to avoidslipping, pull the membrane across the slab to remove.

    To prepare a gas grill for indirect grilling, preheat grill

    with all burners on high. Once preheated, turn off 1

    burner on a 2-burner grill or 2 burners on a 3-burner grill.

    Reduce the heat on the remaining burner to medium-

    low. Place ribs on unlit part of grill. You want to maintain

    an internal grill temperature of about 325F.

    Ribs can also be cooked in preheated 325F oven. Place

    racks in single layer in foil-lined large rimmed baking

    pans. Bake, uncovered, 1 to 2 hours or until ribs are

    fork-tender, brushing ribs generously with sauce duringlast 20 minutes of cooking.

    pulled pork3waysA staple in the Memphis barbecue tradition, pulled pork gets its signature moist and tender texture fromcooking over a low flame for an extended period of time. During the slow cooking process, the connectivefibers within the meat break down, making it easy to pull apart for that distinct shredded consistency.Weve taken this southern classic and dressed it up three different ways. Each is versatile and delicious,whether served in a bun or on crisp Bibb leaves for a barbecue-inspired lettuce wrap. If youre short ontime, pulled pork can be made up to three days in advance... just shred the pork when warm.

    beer pairing >Schlafly Pale AleAmerican Pale Ales are fairly new to the American beer

    scene, but quickly gaining popularity with unique

    American hop characteristics. Following the

    fermentation process, this golden amber ale, with its

    pine-citrus aroma, is brewed with Cascade and Chinook

    dry hops. Balancing the hops with North American

    malts, including caramel malted barley, makes this a

    satisfying ale, and a perfect complement to barbecue!

    top it!Experiment with your pulled pork sandwichtoppings... try coleslaw, dill or sweet pickles, sharpCheddar cheese or fresh, fried or sauted onions togive your barbecue creation that extra kick!

    Succulent pulled pork, an iconic southern dish, is both delicious andeasy to prepare. Cooked low and slow, whether grilled, roasted or

    prepared in a slow cooker, seasoned, shredded pork smothered with atasty sauce is finger-licking good any way its prepared.

    pulledpork

    1.The Cut The pork butt is the cut of choice for pulled pork, which is actually from

    the shoulder area. The ideal size is about 7 to 8 pounds. The layer of fat along

    the topside of a pork butt is called the fat cap, which should be left intact. As the

    pork cooks, the fat cap melts and naturally bastes the pork.

    2.Dry Rub Rubbing the outside of the pork with a dry rub (a combination of driedspices) adds a base flavor profile to the pork. The seasoning will get distributedthroughout the pork when it s shredded.

    3.Flavor and Roast Place the seasoned pork fat side up in a Dutch oven. The

    pork can then be flavored to your liking with fruit preserves or chutney, maple

    syrup, molasses, mustard, chopped fresh herbs, sliced chile peppers or garlic.

    Next, pour in a liquid, such as your favorite beer or cider the possibilities are

    endless. Roast the pork, tightly covered, at 325F for about 4 to 5 hours. The

    internal temperature of the pork should reach 190F the magic number at

    which point the connective tissues in the pork break down, resulting in moist,

    fall-apart-tender pork.

    4. Shredding Transfer the pork to a baking dish large enough to shred the

    pork. The pork will shred much easier when its hot. Carefully remove the bone

    when its just cool enough to handle. While you can use 2 forks or your hands

    to shred the pork, you can also use the bone to shred the pork to your desired

    consistency. Once the pork is shredded, stir in some of the sauce remaining inthe Dutch oven, reserving any remaining sauce to serve with leftovers.
