To make the mayonnaise, squeezze all the juice out from 5 of the 6 citrus halves into a saucepan an nd bring to a boil over high heat. When juice begins to boil, lower heat h to medium-high and reduce juice until thick and syrupy, beingg careful not to let it burn. Remove from heat, pour into a boowl and allow to cool slightly. (At this point you can grill the vegetables). Whisk in mayonnaise, ginger, and cayenne pepper until sm mooth. Squeeze in juice from last remaining citrus half, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Cut all veggies in half lengthwise, rub all sides sparingly with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Grill, cut side down first, for 4 to 6 minutes if small, 5 to 8 minutes if large pieces. Flip so skin side is down, and grill alll an additional 1 to 2 minutes, until all veggies are firm but easilyy sliced with a knife. Serve on platter alongside bowl of ginger citrus mayonnaise or drizzled on top of vegetables. Summer is filled with family picnics and barbecues, but you need to make sure that those burggers and pasta salads aren’t served with a side of bacteria. Celebrity chef Cat Cora is an exxpert at overcoming the complexities of cooking with exotic ingredients, including ostrich, oysters and venison; but even working wiith everyday staples, like chicken, beef, eggs and fresh vegetables, can present cooking challenges. These foods can carry common bacteria, b such as E. coli, Salmo-
nella and Staph - all of which can thrive throughout the cleanest kitchen. To help spread awareness about better kitchen practices, chef Cora offers tips and provides simple solutions to help prevent cross-contamination in the kitchen. Research shows that bacteria can easily spread to kitchen surfaces while preparing even the most simple of meals. Studies have found that: - Bacteria on a cutting board can double after 10 minutes of use, whether cutting raw meat or vegetables. - 10 percent of bacteria on a cutting board can transfer to lettuce during chopping. - E. coli that remains on washed and dried dishes can survive up to three days. “Like all moms, I want to provide the best for my family while creating memorable meals at home,” Cora said. “Cleaning throughout the cooking process gives me peace of mind that I’m doing all I can for my family.” For a perfect barbecue, try Cora’s new summer recipes, and follow her simple food preparation tips by visiting www.palmolive. com.
