Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 2 1/2 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
One 15-ounce can cannellini bean, rinsed and drained
One 14-ounce can diced tomatoes
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/3 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
Fresh oregano for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, skin side down, and cook, until browned on both sides, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
  • Reduce the heat to medium, add the onion, garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until the onions are soft, about 7 minutes. Add the tomato paste and stir until it coats the onions and is a shade darker, about 1 minute. Pour in the wine and scrape up any brown bits on the bottom of the skillet. Add the broth, beans, tomatoes and oregano and bring to a boil. Nestle the chicken in the skillet along with any juices from the plate. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the chicken is cooked through, about 25 minutes.
  • Transfer the chicken thighs to a platter. Stir the cheese into the bean mixture and season with salt and pepper and garnish with fresh oregano if using. Serve with the chicken and extra parmesan cheese for topping.

RED BEAN STEW



Red Bean Stew image

Hungarian gulyas (goulash) is the inspiration here, but this one is a vegetable dish. It has a deep, rich flavor redolent of paprika, garlic, lots of sweet peppers and onions. I like to serve this with noodles, or over thick slices of country bread. Note that soaking the beans is not absolutely necessary, but I find that they cook more evenly and have a more uniform, pillowy texture if I do.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, one pot, soups and stews, main course

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 pound (2 1/4 cups) red beans, washed, picked over and soaked for 6 hours or overnight in 2 quarts water
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 medium or large onion, chopped
6 garlic cloves, minced
2 carrots, peeled and chopped
1 large or 2 small green bell peppers, cut in small dice
2 tablespoons sweet Hungarian paprika
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 bay leaf
Salt
1 teaspoon oregano
Pinch of cayenne
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon sugar
Freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup minced fresh parsley, or a combination of parsley and dill
1/2 cup drained yogurt for topping

Steps:

  • Drain the beans through a strainer set over a bowl. Place the beans in a large soup pot or Dutch oven. Measure the soaking water in the bowl, and add enough water to it to measure 2 1/2 quarts. Add this to the pot with the beans, turn the heat to medium-high and bring to a gentle boil. Skim off any foam and/or bean skins.
  • Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium heat in a large, heavy skillet and add the onions, carrots and peppers. Cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are tender and fragrant, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add 2 of the garlic cloves and continue to cook for another minute or so, until the garlic is fragrant. Season to taste with salt, add another tablespoon of oil and add the paprika. Cook, stirring, for a couple of minutes, until the vegetables are well coated with paprika and the mixture is aromatic. Add a ladleful of simmering water from the beans to the pan, stir with a wooden spoon or heatproof spatula, scraping the bottom and sides of the pan to deglaze, then stir this mixture into the beans. Add the tomato paste and bay leaf, reduce the heat, cover and simmer 1 hour.
  • Add the oregano, the remaining garlic cloves, salt to taste, cayenne, vinegar and sugar, and continue to simmer for another hour. The beans should be thoroughly tender and the broth thick and fragrant. Taste and adjust salt, and add more cayenne if desired. For a thicker stew, strain out 1 heaped cup of beans with a little liquid and purée. Stir back into the stew.
  • Just before serving, stir in the parsley. Serve over noodles or thick slices of country bread, topping each portion with a large dollop of drained yogurt.

  • Brown the chicken: Browning the chicken before adding it to the stew will help to develop its flavor and give the stew a richer color.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: The vegetables in this stew are just a suggestion. Feel free to add or substitute any vegetables you like. Bell peppers, carrots, celery, and onions are all good choices.
  • Season the stew to taste: The amount of salt, pepper, and chili powder you add to the stew will depend on your personal preferences. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Serve the stew with rice or bread: Chicken and kidney bean stew is a hearty and filling dish that can be served with a variety of sides. Rice, bread, or cornbread are all good options.
