    Ingredients:

    1 pound Large onion
    1 pound Red bell pepper
    1 pound Green bell pepper
    1 pound Yellow squash
    1 pound Zucchini squash
    1 cup Olive oil
    1/3 cup Italian seasoning

    Method

    Peel onions and cut top-to-bottom in large wedges. Cut tops from bell
    peppers, remove core, and cut in large top-to-bottom pieces. Trim ends
    from squash and cut in diagonal rounds, about 1/2″ thick. Toss all
    vegetables in a large bowl with olive oil and seasoning, breaking up the
    onion wedges somewhat. Place in a single layer on a very hot grill
    (watch out for the flare-ups!) and grill, turning occasionally, until peppers
    are slightly charred and veggies are tender (about 5 minutes).
    Serve immediately. These are also good refrigerated, then microwaved to reheat.

    My London ‘father’, Gennaro Contaldo, makes these to
    use up all his leftover antipasti. They’re great, a
    complete snack.

    Ingredients:

    Basic bread recipe

    Just over 2 pounds (1 kilogram) strong bread flour
    Just over 1 pint (625 millilitres) tepid water
    1 ounce (30 grams) fresh yeast or 3 (1/4 ounce/7
    gram) sachets dried yeast
    2 tablespoons sugar
    Sea salt
    Extra flour, for dusting

    Filling

    2 courgettes (zucchini), sliced and char-grilled
    2 artichoke hearts, char-grilled and sliced
    A handful black olives
    A handful sun-dried tomatoes
    A couple slices Parma ham
    A bunch basil, leaves ripped
    A drizzle olive oil
    A drizzle herb vinegar
    1 ball mozzarella, ripped
    A handful Parmesan shavings
    A couple fresh plum tomatoes
    2 ounces Montgomery cheddar
    A good drizzle extra-virgin olive oil
    Freshly ground black pepper
    Maldon sea salt

    Method

    For the bread

    Stage 1: Making a Well Pile the flour on to a clean
    surface and make a large well in the centre. Pour
    half the water into the well, then add your yeast,
    sugar and salt and stir with a fork.
    Stage 2: Getting It Together Slowly, but confidently,
    bring in the flour from the inside of the well. (You
    do not want to break the walls of the well, or the
    water will go everywhere). Continue to bring the
    flour into the centre until you get a stodgy,
    porridge-y consistency, then add the remaining water.
    Continue to mix until it’s stodgy again, then you can
    be more aggressive, bringing in all the flour, making
    the mix less sticky. Flour your hands and pat and
    push the dough together with all the remaining flour.
    (Certain flours need a little more or less water, so
    feel free to adjust).
    Stage 3: Kneading! This is where you get stuck in.
    With a bit of elbow grease, simply push, fold, slap,
    and roll the dough around, over and over, for 4 or 5
    minutes until you have a silky and elastic dough.
    Stage 4: First Proof Flour the top of your dough. Put
    it in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and allow it
    to proof in a warm, moist, draught-free place until
    doubled in size, about half an hour. This proof will
    improve the flavor and texture of your dough, and
    it’s always exciting to know that the old yeast has
    kicked into action.
    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C/gas 4).
    Chop and mix all the ingredients for the filling and
    season well.
    Divide the dough into 8 pieces. Roll into balls,
    using flour for dusting. Then roll into little
    frisbee shapes just over 1/4-inch (0.5 centimetre)
    thick. Place a good spoonful of your filling into the
    middle of each, brush the edges with a little water,
    then fold the rounds in half, pushing their edges to
    seal. Some people prefer to use a fork to do this but
    I just pinch them with my fingers. Dust with flour,
    do the same with all the others and move to a flourdusted
    baking tray. Allow to sit for 5 minutes, then
    score the top of the bread to allow your filling to
    bubble over when cooking. Bake in your preheated oven
    for 20 minutes, until golden and scrumptious-looking,
    and allow to cool. Always good for picnics or as
    portable food.

    kfccrispystrips.jpg

    Ingredients:

    1 egg, beaten
    1 cup milk
    2 cups all-purpose flour
    2 1/2 teaspoons salt
    3/4 teaspoon pepper
    3/4 teaspoon MSG
    1/8 teaspoon Paprika
    1/8 teaspoon Garlic Powder
    1/8 teaspoon Baking Powder

    Method

    Cut 6 chicken Breasts into strips, or you can by chicken tenders in the store.
    Marinate them overnight . Preheat the shortening in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees.
    Beat 1 egg and 1 cup of milk. Dip the chicken into the egg mixture. Dip the the
    chicken into the coating and then double dip. Fry in fryer a few at a time till
    they are golden brown about 5 minutes or until they float.
    Remove the chicken to a rack and allow to drain for 5 minutes.

    The Colonel has decided to make Hot and Spicy Strips that ran for short times
    the difference is the second dip it is dipped into hot sauce then breaded again
    and then fried just like the original crispy strips. For the barbecue strips make
    the strips the original way and then dip into the Honey Barbecue Dipping Sauce.
    The Colonel deiced that wings were going to be a good thing to serve and so he
    decided to create fried wings that are very tasty. The Honey Barbecue wings are
    tasty . After they are made they are dipped into the Honey Barbecue Dipping Sauce.
    If you don’t want the honey barbecue wings just serve themas the regular wings.
