LAURIE COLWIN'S BAKED MUSTARD CHICKEN



Laurie Colwin's Baked Mustard Chicken image

This old-school chicken, Sunday-night-supper chicken, even dinner party chicken, is baked for about two hours (yes, you read that correctly: two hours) until its bread crumb-coated skin is crisp - yet the meat miraculously maintains its moisture. The recipe, adapted from the great food writer Laurie Colwin, is so simple to make that her original version was written out in a brief paragraph, casually instructing the home cook to coat the chicken with mustard, garlic, a little thyme, a pinch of cinnamon. We have adapted the recipe to include measurements and more specific direction, but that shouldn't stop you from absorbing her nonchalance and confidence as you make it, the certainty that it will turn out delicious every time.

Salt and black pepper
2 cups fine dry unseasoned bread crumbs
2 chickens, 2 to 3 pounds each, quartered, rinsed and dried

Provided by The New York Times

Categories     easy, lunch, quick, main course

Time 30m

Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 cup roughly chopped pitted green olives, preferably Bella di Cerignola
1 cup roughly chopped pitted Kalamata olives
1/2 cup roughly chopped peeled roasted red peppers
1/3 cup roughly chopped flat-leaf parsley
1/4 cup celery leaves, torn
3/4 cup thinly sliced celery
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Pinch freshly ground black pepper
One (8 to 9 inches in diameter and 4 inches high) round loaf crusty Italian bread
4 ounces soppressata, thinly sliced
8 ounces provolone cheese, sliced
4 ounces Italian deli ham, thinly sliced
4 ounces mortadella, thinly sliced
4 ounces sweet coppa (cured Italian pork), thinly sliced
4 ounces hard salami or bresaola, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Make the olive salad by combining all ingredients in a large bowl. Set aside to marinate.
  • Assemble the muffuletta by slicing the loaf of bread horizontally into 2 large pieces, with the top piece 2/3 the size of the bottom piece. Hollow out the top piece by removing the soft bread inside, leaving 1/2 inch of bread near the crust. Spread half of the olive salad on the bottom piece. Begin layering the meats, starting with the soppressata and adding 1/4 of the provolone cheese between each layer of meat except for the last.
  • Spread the remaining olive salad on the last layer of meat and top with the hollowed bread. Press down lightly and let sit at least 10 minutes. To serve, slice into 6 or 8 wedges. It will keep for several hours in the refrigerator wrapped in plastic.

BUTTER PIE



Butter Pie image

Here is a recipe that Julia Moskin brought to The Times in 2010, from Esa Yonn-Brown at the Butter Love Bakeshop in San Francisco, with a crust so lumpy with butter that it would never pass inspection in a professional kitchen. With its caramelized filling of butter and brown sugar, her butter pie belongs to the same gooey tradition as sugar pie, chess pie, shoofly pie and, in recent years, the Milk Bar Pie served by Christina Tosi of the Momofuku restaurant empire.

Provided by The New York Times

Categories     dessert

Time 2h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
8 tablespoons (one stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into dice
1/4 cup ice water
Dried beans or rice, for baking
6 tablespoons unsalted butter at room temperature
2 cups light brown sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1/2 cup cranberries (optional)
Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Make the crust: In a bowl, mix the flour, salt and sugar. Add butter and gently toss with the dry ingredients until evenly coated. Using fingertips and thumbs, press each cube of butter into a thin leaf, and continue tossing in flour. When all butter is coated, add ice water one tablespoon at a time. Continue tossing gently until mixture starts to look ragged and just holds together when squeezed. Wrap loosely in plastic, waxed paper or parchment. Press dough down firmly into a disk. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes, or up to one day, before rolling. (Dough will keep frozen for up to a month).
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, roll chilled dough into a circle 12 inches in diameter and 1/4-inch thick. Transfer to a deep-dish 9-inch pie pan, lifting dough to let it settle into corners of pan; do not stretch it. Turn edges under to make a thick rim; flute the rim, pinching it into a zigzag pattern.
  • Line crust with parchment or foil and cover bottom with pie weights, dried beans or raw rice. Bake in lower half of oven for 15 to 20 minutes, then remove weights and bake in upper half of oven 5 to 10 minutes, until just golden on edges.
  • Meanwhile, make the filling: In a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream butter and brown sugar together at medium speed until sugar looks like wet sand. Add salt and vanilla extract. With mixer running, add eggs one at a time and beat until creamy and light, about a minute. Mix in cranberries, if using.
  • Scrape filling into parbaked crust. Place pie on a sheet pan and bake in center of oven for 25 to 35 minutes, until top looks dry and browned. The filling will form a skin and puff slightly, then deflate as it cools and sets. Let cool at least one hour, then wrap and refrigerate until serving, at least one hour or overnight. Serve cold with very lightly sweetened whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

MUHAMMARA (RED PEPPER AND WALNUT SPREAD)



Muhammara (Red Pepper and Walnut Spread) image

Freeze vegetables at the height of the season, when they are at their Technicolor best, and you'll be rich with cooking options for months to come. For example, this muhammara, the Middle Eastern red pepper and walnut spread, can be made with either fresh red bell peppers or ones that you have chopped and frozen. The version made with frozen peppers is a little looser and lighter in color than the version starting with fresh peppers, but otherwise you sacrifice nothing having started with frozen produce - the two final spreads are similar in taste.

Provided by The New York Times

Categories     dips and spreads, appetizer

Time 5m

Yield About 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large fresh red bell pepper, roasted (see note), or 1 chopped frozen red bell pepper, thawed
1/2 cup chopped scallions (3 to 4 scallions)
1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon kosher salt, more to taste
3 teaspoons pomegranate molasses
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (preferably Marash or Aleppo), more to taste
5 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 cup walnuts, lightly toasted
4 to 6 tablespoons fresh bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Combine pepper, scallions, lemon juice, cumin, salt, 2 teaspoons pomegranate molasses, ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes, 4 tablespoons olive oil and all but 2 of the walnuts in a food processor and purée until mostly smooth.
  • Add 4 tablespoons bread crumbs and pulse to combine. If mixture is still too loose to hold its shape, add remaining bread crumbs and pulse again. Season to taste with salt and red pepper flakes.
  • Scrape spread into a bowl and make a well in the center with the back of a spoon. Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon pomegranate molasses and ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes in the well. Crush the reserved walnuts between your fingers and sprinkle over the top.
