The success of Carrabba's led to the popular PBS cooking show Cucina!, starring Carrabba and Mandola, as well as a series of companion cookbooks. There are currently 240 Carrabba's Italian Grill locations around the country. Offering Italian-inspired cuisine passed down from our founders’ family recipes, Carrabba’s uses only the best ingredients to prepare fresh and handmade dishes cooked to order in a lively exhibition kitchen. Featuring a wood-burning grill inspired by the many tastes of Italy, customers can enjoy signature dishes, including Chicken Bryan, Spiedino di Mare and a fresh twist on an Italian Classic, Wood-grilled Chicken Marsala. Carrabba’s was voted #1 Italian in the 2014 Consumer Picks Survey by Nation’s Restaurant News. Parmesan Crusted Chicken Arugula Carrabba's Parmesan Crusted Chicken Arugula Copycat Recipe Serves 4 Parmesan Panko 2 cups plain panko 1/2 cup freshly grated Romano cheese 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 4 boneless and skinless chicken breast halves, 7 to 8 ounces each 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper 3 large eggs, beaten 6 tablespoons olive oil, divided 4 cups baby arugula 1 cup halved grape tomatoes 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 wedge of Parmesan cheese, about 6 ounces, for shaving cheese curls 2 lemons, cut in halves crosswise Preheat the oven to 200°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with paper towels. Have a second baking sheet nearby. To make the panko, mix the ingredients in a wide, shallow bowl until combined. Using a flat meat pounder, lightly pound each chicken breast half to an even thickness of about ½ inch. Cut each in half crosswise to make a total of 8 chicken breast pieces. Season with the salt and pepper. Beat the eggs in another wide, shallow bowl. Dip the chicken in the eggs, then coat with the panko mixture, patting it to adhere. Place on a platter. Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is hot and shimmering. Carefully add the chicken. Cook until golden brown, turning after 3 minutes and adjusting the heat as needed so the chicken cooks steadily without over-browning, about 7 minutes. Using a slotted spatula, transfer to the paper towels to drain briefly. Move to the second baking sheet and keep warm in the oven while frying the remaining chicken. Repeat with the remaining 3 tablespoons of oil and chicken. Toss the arugula, tomatoes and lemon juice together in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper. For each serving, place 2 chicken pieces on each plate, and top each with equal amounts of the salad. Using a swivel vegetable peeler, shave as many Parmesan curls as you like on top.

Lightly spray tops of zucchini fries with the olive oil. Bake for 10-12 minutes, flip and bake for another 10-12 minutes or until crispy and lightly browned. To Roast the Garlic: Roasting is a simple method of cooking garlic that will bring out its smoky flavor, soften it for spreading or blending into dips and sauces. The other good news is that it’s super-easy to make, requires very little active time in the kitchen and you won’t dirty many dishes or utensils. You just cut the top off of a full head (or two or five) of garlic, removing about 1/4 inch and leaving the rest in tact. Sprinkle with a pinch of coarse salt and drizzle with olive oil. Then wrap the clove(s) in foil and bake at 400 degrees for 45 minutes. You’ll need to let the garlic cool for a while so that you can squeeze the soft, roasted individual cloves from their skins. Then you can spread on crusty bread or use in your favorite recipe. Try substituting roasted garlic for raw in pasta sauce for a slightly smoky flavor, use the cloves as a pizza topping or in a pasta dish. Roasted Garlic Aioli 1 egg yolk 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard 1 cup olive oil 1 head garlic, roasted Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper To make the aioli: Beat the yolk with the vinegar and mustard in a bowl.

U povrće dodamo vodu (2dcl) i poklopimo (povremeno miješajući). U međuvremenu stavimo 2 dcl vode u posebni lončić da prokuha. u posebnu posudu stavimo šalicu kuskusa te ga prelijemo sa prokuhanom vodom (2 dcl) i ostavimo 5-10 min da nabubri. Kada je povrće omekšalo u njega stavimo kuskus (koji je trebao upiti svu vodu) . Sve promiješamo i po želji dodamo još soli ili soya sosa. Sada povrću i kuskusu dodamo prženu piletinu i poslužimo. KEKSIĆI KARDAMOM/BADEM Sastojci: 140 g brašna ,2 žličice praška za pecivo, prstohvat soli, 170 g mljevenih badema ,1 žlica sjemenki kardamoma (ili 1/2 žličice mljevenog) ,170 g šećera,1 žličica ruma ,2 jaja + 1 bjelanjak . Priprema: Pećnicu ugrijti na 160*, brašno pomiješati s praškom za pecivo, solju, šećerom (od kojeg ste odvojili 2 žlice), mljevenim bademima i zdrobljenim sjemenčicama kardamoma. Dodajte rum i 2 umućena jaja pa zamijesite tijesto. Oblikujte ga u valjak, lagano pritisnite da izravnate gornji dio pa položite na pleh, na papir za pečenje. Pecite 30 min. Izvadite, premažite lagano umućenim bjelanjkom i posipajte s one preostale 2 žlice šećera pa vratite u pećnicu na još 15 min. Izvadite i pustite 10-ak minuta da se ohladi pa narežite na šnitice. Šnitice vratite u pećnicu (poslagane po papiru za pečenje) i pecite još 15-20 min. Ovi keksići osvajaju divnom egzotičnom notom, a jednom kad vam se kardamom svidi, htjet ćete ga upotrijebiti opet i opet… MLIJEKO OD BADEMA Sastojci: 100 g neoljuštenih badema, 1 L vode, 3-4 datulje. Priprema: Bademe namočimo u vodi preko noći, namakanje deaktivira lagano toksične enzime iz opne – inhibitore probave, dobro namočene bademe nije potrebno ljuštiti, namočene bademe isperemo a vodu od namakanja bacamo. Takve ih stavimo u blender dodamo vode i nekoliko datulja i dobili smo izvrsno domaće bademovo mlijeko koje može biti zamjena za kravlje, a može i stajati do 3 dana u hladnjaku (1 šalica ima oko 70 kalorija). ENERGETSKE KUGLICE Sastojci: 1 šalica badema, 1 šalica datulja, mogu se dodati i grožđice, smokve ili neko drugo voće, mljeveni kokos, čokolada Priprema: jednu šalicu badema izmeljemo u blenderu, ne skroz do praha ali da bude sitno, nakon toga dodajemo jednu šalicu datulja iz kojih smo predhodno izvadili koštice i miksamo dok se ne dobije smjesa koja se može oblikovati rukama u oblik kuglica koje nakon toga stavljamo u frižider. Nakon toga preostaje nam da uživamo u poslastici za podizanje energije i raspoloženja. Zahvaljujemo Bernardi Valković što je podijelila ovaj recept sa nama. PUNJENE DATULJE PRELIVENE ČOKOLADOM SASTOJCI: 1 paket datulja 20-tak četvrtina oraha 10 dag čokolade 1 žlica ulja PRIPREMA Zarezati datulje po duljini, samo s jedne strane i izvaditi im košticu. Umjesto koštice staviti četvrtinu oraha (ili koliko stane). Stisnuti datulju oko otvora de se zatvori. Rastopiti čokoladu s uljem i umakati jednu po jednu datulju. Pustiti da se čokolada stvrdne. RIŽA S LEĆOM SASTOJCI: 50 g basmati riže 50 g crvene leće 25 g maslaca 1 maleni nasjeckan luk prstohvat zgnječenog svježeg đumbira 1,25 ml (1/4 čajne žlice) zgnječenog češnjaka maleni štapić cimeta 2 klinčića 1 lovorov list 1,25 ml (1/4 čajne žlice) mljevenog korijandra prstohvat mljevene kurkume prstohvat svježe mljevene morske soli 1 maleni zeleni čili, raspolovljen po duljini PRIPREMA: Dobro operite rižu i leću u hladnoj vodi. Ocijedite. Ocijeđenu rižu i leću stavite u zdjelu i pokrijte s 200 ml tople vode. Namačite 30 minuta, a zatim dobro ocijedite, ali spremite vodu od namakanja. Zagrijte maslac u posudi. Dodajte luk i 2 – 3 minute pržite na laganoj vatri, miješajući. Dodajte đumbir, češnjak, cimet, klinčiće i lovorov list, te nastavite pirjati još 1 minutu. U posudu stavite rižu i leću, a zatim dodajte korijandar, kurkumu, sol i čili. Miješajte nad vatrom oko 2-3 minute, dok se riža i leća ravnomjerno ne uvaljaju u maslac. U mješavinu izlijte spremljenu vodu od namakanja i pustite da provri. Smanjite temperaturu i čvrstim poklopcem pokrijte posudu. Kuhajte na laganoj vatri 8-10 minuta, bez miješanja, ili dok riža posve ne upije vodu. Promiješajte, izvadite i bacite čili, te odmah poslužite. HUMUS(NAMAZ OD SLANUTKA) SASTOJCI: 2 žlice sezama,100 ml vode u kojoj se kuhao slanutak, 200 g kuhanog slanutka,2-3 žlice limunova soka, 2 češnja češnjaka,50 ml maslinova ulja,1 žlica nasjeckanog peršina,½ žličice mljevenog papra. PRIPREMA: Sezam kratko popecite u tavi bez masnoće pa pola količine sameljite u električnoj sjeckalici. Vodu od slanutka, u koju ste dodali malo soli, kratko prokuhajte i malo ohladite. Slanutak, zajedno s vodom, limunovim sokom i češnjakom, usitnite u električnoj sjeckalici da dobijete glatku masu. Umiješajte maslinovo ulje, peršin, papar i mljeveni sezam. Pripremljeni namaz stavite u hladnjak i ostavite da se dobro ohladi. DOLME SASTOJCI: Teglica listova vinove loze u slanoj vodi,3 šalice riže, 1kg mljevenog mesa(masnijeg), sirup od šipka, 6 pomidora, peršin, celer, 2 crvena luka, 5 režnjeva češnjaka, pasata, sirup od šipka, sol, papar I kumin. PRIPREMA: Oprati listove vinove loze I namakati ih u vodi dva sata prije punjenja, kako bi se temeljito isprala slana voda. Rižu namakati pola sata, oprati I iscjediti pa staviti u posudu. Dodati sitno isjeckani crveni luk, sitno nasjeckani češnjak, peršin, celer,dva sitno narezana paradajza I mljeveno meso. Dodati, sol papar I kumin, te sve fino promješati. Napuniti listove vinove loze sa smjesom. Prije slaganja napunjenih listova vinove loze u lonac, na dno možete, po želji, postaviti rebra(junjeća, teleća, janjeća) I sviježi bob. Posložimo napunjene vinove loze u lonac (na rebra I bob). Potrebno je još posebno napraviti preljev, tako da u mikser postavimo 4 paradajza, sirup od šipka I pasatu, malo posolimo I prelijemo po napunjenim listovima vinove loze. Prije početka kuhanja treba još doliti vode, tako da voda prelazi sastav lonca za 10 cm. Na lonac staviti keramički tanjur I nešto teže na njega kako dolme nebi “plesale”. Tako poklopljeno kuhati odprilike sat vremena na laganoj vatri, nakon toga maknuti keramički tanjur I kuhati na laganoj vatri još pola sata uz povremeno drmanje lonca. Nakon toga posao je gotov I možemo poslužiti te uživati u ukusnom jelu. COUS COUS S POVRĆEM SASTOJCI (za 4-6 osoba): 200 g patlidžana 1 žličica svježe metvice sol 500 ml vode 150 g cous-cousa 150 g cherry rajčica 100 g mrkve 4 žlice sezamova ulja 250 g tofua 2 češnja češnjaka 100 g luka PRIPREMA: U većoj tavi na zagrijanom ulju popecite nasjeckani luk i češnjak. Dodajte mrkvu narezanu na kolutiće, podlijte s malo vode i kratko pirjajte. Nakon toga dodajte oprane patlidžane i tikvice narezane na kockice, a paprike na rezance. Pospite Vegetom, metvicom i pirjajte na laganoj vatri 10-ak minuta. Dodajte tofu narezan na kockice, cherry rajčice i nastavite pirjati još 10-ak minuta. Cous-cous stavite u kipuću, posoljenu vodu, kuhajte 3-4 minute, ocijedite i dodajte povrću. PATLIDŽAN U TAHINI UMAKU ( SEZAMOVA MAST) Patlidzan ogulite na trakice (jedan potez ogulite, drugi ostavite); nakon toga izrezite patlidzan na ploske debljine prsta (moze i malo deblje). Ako ima sjemenke, odstranite ih posto su gorke. Ploske patlidzana stavite u teglu sa puno soli (neka ih sol prekrije) i drzite ih tako 30-45min kako bi patlidzan dehidrirao. Nakon toga ih dobro isperite u vodi i iscijedite rukom. Patlidzan tada poprzite na grill tavi ili na rostilju te ga prebacite u posebnu teglu i zalijte tahini umakom i zacinite s malo balzamika. Red patlidzana, red tahine. Uz patlidzan, preporuca se i drugo povrce, tako da uz patlidzan mozete poprziti i papriku, rajcicu… (isto to povrce se moze posluziti i sirovo s patlidzanom). Na kraju mozete dodati malo kiselih maslina i/ili svjezeg korijandera. KOFTA S TAHINIJEM SASTOJCI: 1/2 kg mljevenog mesa (govedina) 5 krumpira 2 šalice grčkog jogurta 1/3 šalice limunovog soka 1 šalica vode 1 žlica mljevenog češnjaka 2 žličice soli 1/2 šalice tahini 1/2 šalice mljevenog luka 1 žlica 7 arapskih začina 1/2 šalice badema 1 žlica maslinovog ulja peršin PRIPREMA: Grčki jogurt – ako ga ne nađete u dućanu postoji više načina kako ga možete napraviti sami ali najlakše je uzeti čvrsti jogurt, u cjediljku staviti filter za kavu ili gazu i na to izvrnuti jogurt. Pustiti ga preko noći da se ocijedi u frižideru. Dobro pomiješati meso, 1 žličicu soli, 7 začina i luk. Rastegnuti meso u okruglu posudu i na kraju prstima napraviti rupe po cijeloj površini. Krumpir narezati na ploške i premazati ga maslinovim uljem i malo soli. Pekao sam ga u vrećici za pečenje kako se ne bi isušio. Meso i krumpir peći odvojeno 25 min. na 200°C Posebno pomiješati grčki jogurt, tahini, pola žličice soli, češnjak, limunov sok i vodu. Smjesa ne bi trebala biti gusta. Pomiješati i pirjati 5 min. Poslagati krumpir po cijelo površini mesa i zaliti sa pirjanom smjesom (smjesa treba lako pokriti cijelo meso ispod krumpira), staviti u pećnicu na dodatnih 20 min na 200°C. Kad izvadimo jelo iz pećnice dodati po površini peršin i bademe koje smo prethodno malo zapržili na maslinovom ulju.
