Grilled Leek And Sweet Pepper

2 medium leeks, green tops trimmed, split up to the root ends, cleaned

1 Tablespoon olive oil

1 large red bell pepper

1 large yellow bell pepper

4 Tablespoon unsalted butter

1 large clove, garlic, minced fine

1/3 cup dry vermouth

salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

12 oz. fresh fettuccine

1 Tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

1 cup Apple Wood chips

Prepare a medium-hot fire in the grill. Coat the leeks with olive oil.

When the coals are covered in gray ash add the presoaked chips to the fire.

When the chips start to smoke place the leeks and peppers on the cooking

grid directly over the fire.

Grill, turning as needed, until leeks are tender and golden brown, about

10-12 minutes, and skin of peppers is charred, about 15 minutes. Remove the

leeks from grill and let cool. Remove the peppers from the grill and place

in a paper or plastic bag and seal; set aside and allow to steam.

When cool, trim root ends from leeks, then cut into thin strips. Peel and

seed bell peppers and cut into thin strips.

Meanwhile, heat a large pot of water to boiling.

Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook,

stirring frequently, until pale golden. Add vermouth, and reduce to syrupy

consistency. Stir in leeks and peppers and season with salt and pepper.

Salt boiling water, add pasta, and cook until tender but still firm to the

bite. Drain thoroughly, add to skillet and toss well. Sprinkle with thyme

and serve hot.

12 Giant Prawns, shelled and heads and tails intact

1/4 cup Butter

1 cup Orange juice (freshly, squeezed)

2 tablespoons Sherry

1 teaspoon Orange Zest (grated)

2 each Green onions, tops and white

1 teaspoon Ginger root, (freshly grated)

Soak a dozen long wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes. Then push

skewers through prawns, lengthwise, from head to tail with only 1 to a

skewer. Combine all ingredients in saucepan and cook over medium to

low heat, stirring, until butter is completely melted. Dip skewered prawns

in the orange sauce and position on oiled grill rack about 4 inches above

the coals. Baste liberally with sauce and grill for 2 minutes. Turn the

prawn over and baste again, cooking for another 2 minutes. Smaller

prawn will be done at this point, but continue basting and turning larger

prawn until they are pink and cooked through. Remove from heat
