Chicken with Tarragon and White Wine

Total: 1 hr 15 min Prep: 15 min Cook: 1 hr

Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Chicken:

  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 (4 1/2-pound) chicken, cut into 8 pieces
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Flour for dusting

Sauce:

  • 1 1/2 cups (about 10 ounces) cipollini or pearl onions, trimmed and peeled
  • 4 cloves garlic, halved
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 cup Carl Sittmann Riesling
  • 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth, plus 1/3 cup
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh tarragon leaves, plus 2 tablespoons
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Directions

  1. For the chicken: In a Dutch oven or large saucepan, heat the oil over high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, to taste, and dust with flour. Cook the chicken, turning occasionally, until brown on all sides, about 8 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  2. For the sauce: Heat the same pan used for the chicken over medium-high heat. Add the onions and garlic and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 5 minutes. Increase the heat to high. Add the wine and scrape up the brown bits that cling to the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Return the chicken pieces to the pan. Add 3 cups of chicken broth and 1/2 cup of tarragon and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pan and cook, turning the chicken pieces over every 10 minutes, until cooked through, about 30 minutes total for the breasts and wings and 40 minutes total for the legs and thighs. Transfer the chicken to a platter and loosely tent with foil while finishing the sauce.
  3. To finish the sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the remaining 1/3 cup chicken broth and flour. Whisk the flour mixture into the sauce until smooth. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook, uncovered, until thickened, about 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the butter and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve the sauce over the chicken and garnish with the remaining 2 tablespoons of tarragon.

Flat Iron Steak with Red Wine Sauce

From: FoodNetwork.com

Total: 35 min Prep: 15 min Cook: 20 min

Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 (1-pound) flat iron steaks or tri-tip steaks
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for garnish
  • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 cup tomato paste
  • 2 1/2 cups Casa Catelli Montepulciano D’Abruzzo

Directions

  1. Prepare the grill or barbecue (medium-high heat). Sprinkle the steaks with salt and pepper and drizzle with the 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Grill to desired doneness, about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer the steaks to a cutting board. Tent with foil and let stand 10 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt. Add the garlic and oregano and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Whisk in the wine. Simmer until the sauce reduces by half, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat. Strain the sauce into a small bowl, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids in the strainer and return the sauce to the saucepan and bring back to a slow simmer. Cut the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter into small 1/2-inch chunks and whisk in the sauce a little at a time. Season the sauce, to taste, with salt and pepper.
  3. Thinly slice the steaks across the grain. Divide the steak slices among 6 plates. Drizzle the sauce over the steak, drizzle a little more extra-virgin olive oil and serve.

Cedar Plank Rum Salmon

From: FoodNetwork.com

Total: 1 hr 10 min Prep: 10 min Inactive: 30 min Cook: 30 min

Yield: 4 to 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup The Black Dog 7 Year Old Rum
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 or 2 cedar planks
  • 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 2 teaspoons kosher or sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 2 to 3 pound salmon fillet, cut in 1/2 to fit on plank(s), if needed

Directions

  • Mix the rum and water in a large container and submerge the planks in the water for 30 to 45 minutes, allowing the planks to become soaked.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium-size bowl, mix together the sugar, ginger, coriander, salt, cinnamon, and lemon juice to create a paste. Spread spice mixture evenly on top of the flesh side of salmon (not skin side). Refrigerate for 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.
  • Preheat the grill over medium-high.
  • Remove the fillet from the refrigerator and arrange on the planks, unseasoned side down. Put the planks on the grill and cook until the flesh is firm to the touch, allowing the plank to smolder, not burn, about for 30 to 40 minutes. Once the salmon is cooked, remove planks from the grill, with hot pads, to a serving platter and allow it to rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Cook’s Note

  • The salmon can also be prepared with the same spice rub and baked for 30 minutes in a preheated 350 degree F oven without a plank.
