THYME, SHALLOT, AND LEMON MARINADE



Thyme, Shallot, and Lemon Marinade image

This classic marinade pairs nicely with almost any meat, particularly shellfish and fish fillets. Don't marinate shellfish for longer than twenty minutes; the acid in the lemon juice will cook the flesh.

3 tablespoons dry white wine
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
16 sprigs fresh thyme
2 shallots, thinly sliced
1 lemon, sliced into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/3 cup minced shallots
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons fresh thyme
Big dash hot sauce
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 1/2 pounds flank steak
Cress, for garnish

Steps:

  • Mix shallots, soy sauce, olive oil, thyme, hot sauce and lemon juice together in a non-reactive broiling pan. Score the steak, place it in the pan and turn in the marinade. Marinate for at least 2 hours at room temperature or up to 24 hours refrigerated. If refrigerated, turn the steak in the marinade occasionally. Drain off marinade and put into a saucepan. Place steak under broiler at 1 inch from the heat for 3 to 4 minutes on each side for rare, for 4 to 5 minutes on each side for medium. Leave the broiler door slightly ajar, so the heat stays on and air circulates. Meanwhile bring marinade to the boil. Remove from heat. Carve the meat in thin diagonal slices across the grain. Arrange the slices on a warm platter. Pour the carving juices and the marinade over the meat. Decorate with cress.

CHICKEN BREASTS WITH LEMON



Chicken Breasts With Lemon image

In this recipe, which Pierre Franey brought to The Times in 1992 in one of his 60-Minute Gourmet columns, two teaspoons of lemon zest are added to a simple sauce of lemon juice, thyme, garlic and shallots. It is, at once, lively and elegant. To round it out, it needs a sturdy accompaniment. Mr. Franey suggested mashed potatoes with garlic and basil, with just a little olive oil swirled in.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup flour for dredging
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
4 skinless boneless chicken breasts, about 6 ounces each
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 sprigs fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup chicken broth, fresh or canned
2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Season flour with salt and pepper, and dredge the chicken all over. Remove the excess flour.
  • Heat the oil in a heavy skillet large enough to hold the chicken pieces in one layer. Add chicken and cook, uncovered, over medium heat for 5 minutes or until lightly browned.
  • Flip the chicken and cook for 5 minutes more, or until cooked through. Carefully remove the oil from the skillet, leaving the chicken. Discard the oil.
  • Add the thyme, shallots and garlic, and cook for about a minute. Do not burn the garlic. Add the lemon rind, the lemon juice and the broth.
  • Scrape the skillet to dissolve the brown particles that cling to the bottom. Add the butter, and cook for 3 minutes longer. Serve immediately.
