Steps:
- In a 3- or 4-quart saucepan combine vinegar, wine, olive oil, garlic cloves, shallot, bouquet garni, coriander seeds, fennel seeds, peppercorns, kosher salt and 3 cups water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook 15 to 30 minutes while you prepare vegetables.
- Add carrots to the broth and simmer 5 minutes. Add cauliflower, bring back to a simmer, and cook another 15 minutes, until carrots and cauliflower are tender but not mushy. Using a slotted spoon, remove vegetables to a bowl. Some of the broth and seeds can come along with them.
- Add mushrooms to broth and simmer 5 minutes. Remove to bowl with carrots and cauliflower.
- Stir broth and ladle 11/2 cups plus some of the coriander seeds into a small saucepan. Set aside.
- Add artichoke hearts to the pot in which you cooked the other vegetables and simmer 25 to 30 minutes, until tender. Transfer to bowl with other cooked vegetables. If using artichoke leaves, steam them now. When finished, discard this broth.
- Bring reserved broth in the small saucepan to a boil and cook until liquid reduces to 1/2 cup. Pour over the vegetables, add lemon juice and fleur de sel and toss. Taste and adjust seasoning. Leave at room temperature until ready to serve (for best flavor, let vegetables marinate for a few hours), or refrigerate for up to 3 days. Just before serving, garnish with herbs and, if you wish, with steamed artichoke leaves, which can be dipped into the marinade. Serve on small plates with the reduced marinade spooned on top.
CHICKEN A LA GREQUE
Steps:
- ADD LATER
Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: Use a whole chicken for a more flavorful dish. If using chicken breasts, bone-in and skin-on breasts will yield juicier results.
- Prepare the chicken properly: Wash the chicken thoroughly and pat it dry before cooking. This will help the chicken cook evenly and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven: This will help to distribute heat evenly and prevent the chicken from burning.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: If the chicken is too crowded, it will not cook evenly. Cook the chicken in batches if necessary.
- Sear the chicken before braising: This will help to develop flavor and color.
- Use a flavorful braising liquid: The braising liquid is what will give the chicken its flavor. Use a combination of broth, wine, and herbs and spices.
- Simmer the chicken until it is cooked through: The chicken is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the chicken rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Chicken a la Greque is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With its flavorful braising liquid and tender chicken, this dish is sure to be a hit with the whole family. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy chicken recipe, give Chicken a la Greque a try.
