Our inalienable culinary rights on the Fourth of July? Life, liberty and the pursuit of joyous grilling. Who says our holiday of backyard feasting must be just another weenie roast? Grilled pork tenderloin could be a delectable centerpiece of this year’s holiday happiness. As I often do, I turn to grilling guru Steven Raichlen to guide my path. His Mojo-Marinated Pork Tenderloin is a just-right entree.

The prep requires that the mojo mix is brought to a boil. Once cooled, fresh mint or cilantro are added. Half of the cooled...

The chicken breasts are dredged with flour and pan-fried, then later cut into diagonal slices. Once cooked the chicken is removed from the skillet and the sauce-making begins by patiently cooking the 12 garlic cloves and 3 shallots, all thinly sliced. A pinch of dried red pepper flakes come to the sauce party, along with dry white wine and chicken broth. After cooking the penne in boiling salted water and draining, some of the cooking water is reserved for the sauce. Two cups of the sauce, along with baby arugula, Parmesan cheese, and lemon juice, are tossed with the pasta. The...
