Provided by Jeff Mauro, host of Sandwich King

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup orange marmalade
2 teaspoons orange zest plus 2 tablespoons orange juice
2 teaspoons orange liqueur
2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
4 cups broccoli florets (about 2 pounds)
4 shallots, peeled and quartered lengthwise
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 oranges, grated and supremed (white pith cut away and segments cut free from their membranes)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with nonstick foil.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the marmalade, orange zest and juice, orange liqueur, vinegar, a pinch of salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Set aside.
  • Pull the side flaps of overhanging skin taut underneath the chicken on each side to make the thighs into nice, tight packages. Sprinkle the chicken generously with salt and pepper and arrange skin-side up in a single layer in the center of the lined baking sheet.
  • Spoon 1 tablespoon of the orange sauce over each piece of chicken. Roast for 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, toss the broccoli and shallots together in a medium bowl with the oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Spoon another tablespoon of the sauce over the top of the chicken. Arrange the broccoli and shallots around the chicken on the baking sheet. Continue to toast until the chicken is cooked through and the broccoli and shallots are soft and caramelized, an additional 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Garnish with the orange segments and zest.

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound sugar snap peas, ends trimmed
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 ounces sliced prosciutto (about 3 slices)
1/2 cup crumbled fresh goat cheese (about 4 ounces)
1 shallot, sliced into thin (1/8-inch) rings
2 medium navel oranges, supremed (peel and pith removed, cut into segments with a paring knife)
1/4 cup fresh orange juice, squeezed from the leftover orange membranes
5 or 6 small red radishes, sliced into very thin rounds, preferably on a mandoline
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot halfway with water and bring to a boil; season generously with salt. Prepare an ice bath in a large bowl. Blanch the sugar snap peas in the boiling water for 2 minutes, or until they turn bright green and soften slightly. Strain, then immediately plunge into the ice bath to cool completely. Drain well. Spread out the snap peas on a baking sheet and dry with paper towels.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the prosciutto slices; cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side, until crispy. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet to cool and drain of excess oil.
  • Add the dried sugar snap peas to a large bowl, and crumble the prosciutto over the peas. Drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add the goat cheese, shallots, orange supremes, orange juice, radishes, mint and tarragon; gently toss together. Season with salt and pepper, and serve immediately.

Categories     Fruit     Dessert     Poach     Low Sodium     Orange     Pear     Red Wine     Fall     Bon Appétit     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 750-ml bottle dry red wine
2 1/4 cups sugar
2 cups water
1/2 cup orange juice
2 teaspoons grated orange peel
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 cinnamon stick
4 firm but ripe pears, peeled, stems left intact
1 pint vanilla ice cream
1 plain or almond biscotti, crumbled
Orange peel strips (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine first 7 ingredients in heavy large saucepan. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves and mixture comes to simmer. Add pears and return mixture to simmer. Reduce heat and simmer slowly until pears are tender when pierced with knife, about 25 minutes. Transfer pears to plate. Boil liquid in saucepan until reduced to 3 cups, about 20 minutes. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill pears in poaching liquid. Before serving, rewarm over medium-low heat until pears are heated through.)
  • Arrange 1 warm pear and 1 scoop of ice cream on each of 4 plates. Drizzle some poaching liquid over. Sprinkle with biscotti crumbs. Garnish with orange peel strips, if desired, and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of peas: Fresh or frozen peas are best for this recipe. Avoid using canned peas, as they can be mushy.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot: This will help to prevent the peas from burning.
  • Don't overcook the peas: They should be cooked until they are just tender, but still have a slight bite to them.
  • Use a good quality orange liqueur: This will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish.
  • Serve immediately: Peas a l'orange is best served hot, so make sure to make it just before you're ready to eat.

Conclusion:

Peas a l'orange is a classic French dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. It's a great way to use up fresh or frozen peas, and it's also a good source of vitamins and minerals. Whether you're serving it as a side dish or a main course, peas a l'orange is sure to be a hit.
