BROCCOLINI WITH CREAMY LEMON SAUCE



Broccolini With Creamy Lemon Sauce image

A broccoli recipe for those who thought they hated broccoli. Brocconlini is sweeter and milder tasting than mature broccoli. Found this jewel of a recipe in my March 2003 Better Homes and Garden magazine. Fresh asparagus, pea pods or romanesco would make excellent substitutes for the broccolini. Mascarpone is available at Trader Joe's and well-stocked grocery stores.

  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil on medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add chicken thighs skin side down and cook for about 4 minutes until browned. Flip the chicken thighs over and cook for 2 minutes on the other side. Remove from heat. Put chicken thighs skin side up (crispy side up) on a baking sheet and bake at 375 F for about 20-25 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked, the juices run clear and the chicken is no longer pink in the center.
  • Creamy Sauce:.
  • In the mean time, while the chicken is baking, make the sauce: Wipe the skillet you used for cooking the chicken thighs. Add 1 teaspoon olive oil and 1/2 tablespoon butter to skillet. Add minced garlic and cook, constantly stirring, for about 30 seconds. Add chicken stock and 1 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning to the skillet and bring to light boil. Add heavy cream and bring back to boil. Add shredded cheese and stir until melted. Reduce heat to simmer and keep stirring until the sauce is smooth. Remove from heat. Add 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice and stir inches Top the sauce with chopped green onions (chop up only green portion of green onions and don't use white portion). Keep the sauce covered.
  • The chicken should be cooked by now. Check it for doneness and if chicken is completely cooked through, add it to the skillet on top of the sauce and on top of green onions. Top with chopped parsley and decorate with a few slices of lemon.

FRIED WHOLE CAULIFLOWER WITH CREAMY LEMON DIPPING SAUCE



Fried Whole Cauliflower with Creamy Lemon Dipping Sauce image

Cauliflower takes center stage in this deceptively simple dish that could be served as an entree or as a side to your favorite roasted chicken or turkey. By frying the cauliflower whole, it turns a deep golden color and becomes perfectly tender in a fraction of the time it would take if you were to roast it. We add a creamy lemon dipping sauce that adds just the right amount of zip.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     side-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup mayonnaise
Zest and juice of 1 large lemon (about 1 tablespoon zest and 1/4 cup juice)
1/4 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves, roughly chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable oil, for frying
1 large head cauliflower with the stem attached (about 3 pounds)

Steps:

  • Whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon zest and juice, parsley and a large pinch of salt and pepper in a medium bowl until smooth. Refrigerate while you fry the cauliflower.
  • Fill a large, deep stockpot halfway with oil and heat to 375 degrees F over medium-high heat. Set a cooling rack over a baking sheet.
  • Gently lower the cauliflower into the hot oil with a large spider or large slotted spoon. This might splatter so be very careful once the cauliflower is in the oil. The cauliflower might not be fully submerged, but that is okay. Cook until the cauliflower is golden brown and you can easily insert a paring knife into one of the florets, 5 to 7 minutes, carefully flipping the cauliflower halfway through the cooking time.
  • Lift the cauliflower out of the hot oil using the large spider or slotted spoon and transfer to the cooling rack. Season liberally with salt. Allow the excess oil to drip away before putting the cauliflower onto a large serving platter. Serve alongside the creamy lemon sauce.

ROASTED HERBED CHICKEN WITH POTATOES AND CREAMY LEMON SAUCE



Roasted Herbed Chicken With Potatoes and Creamy Lemon Sauce image

This is a recipe that has gradually evolved over several years at our house. My family loves this meal---the chicken is roasted on a broiler pan while thinly sliced potatoes are layered on the drip pan underneath. As the chicken cooks, the flavors drip down onto the potatoes; they're so delicious! The sauce is creamy and tangy and is great on both the chicken and the potatoes. We usually eat this with sauteed green beans on the side.

Provided by zephanie

Categories     Chicken

Time 1h25m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 whole roasting chicken, butterflied (about 3 lbs)
4 -6 medium sized red potatoes

dried herbes de provence
salt
pepper
garlic powder
sweet Hungarian paprika
3 lemons, scrubbed to remove wax
1 tablespoon butter
2 -3 small shallots, minced
1 cup chicken stock
0.5 (10 1/2 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 tablespoon sugar
1 dash balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven broiler, keeping oven door cracked.

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Place butterflied chicken in mixing bowl, coat with olive oil. Season liberally with salt, pepper, Herbs de Provence, paprika and garlic powder, massaging into the entire surface, as well as under the skin.
  • Slice the potatoes in 1/8-1/4 inch rounds. Place in another mixing bowl, lightly coat with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, Herbs and paprika.
  • Line the drip pan of a broiler pan with aluminum foil. Place the potatoes in a single layer (okay if they overlap slightly) in the drip pan. Slice 6-8 cloves of garlic in half lengthwise and sprinkle over potatoes.
  • Place the broiler rack on top, arrange the chicken on top (skin side up). Place in oven with breast side toward the front of the oven. Cook for 45 minutes - 1 hour or until thigh meat reaches 180 degrees, breast 165 degrees. During the last 15 minutes of cooking, turn the oven up to 450 degrees to achieve the desired crispiness of skin.
  • To make sauce:
  • While the chicken is cooking, strain juice from roasted lemons and set aside.
  • Melt butter over medium heat in 10 inch saute pan. Saute shallots until soft and lightly browned, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Add roasted lemon juice and chicken stock, bring to boil. Lower heat, simmer and reduce by half. (This should take about 10-12 minutes).
  • Add cream of mushroom soup, heat through, add about 1 tablespoons sugar (more or less depending on acidity of the lemons). Add dash of balsamic vinegar and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve sauce with chicken and potatoes.

MINI SEAFOOD CAKES WITH CREAMY LEMON SAUCE



Mini Seafood Cakes With Creamy Lemon Sauce image

For this appetizer, I added a few new twists to an old favorite. But these are baked instead of sautéed. And I add crabmeat, which I think results in a more robust flavor sensation. Shaping them into miniature cakes instead of full-size patties makes them a fantastic appetizer choice for your next get together, whether it's a buffet potluck or Sunday Brunch. You can serve them as is or with the light and refreshing Creamy Lemon Sauce (which utilizes sour cream instead of mayonnaise, which is safer for the buffet table).

Knead the dough by pulling it away from you and rolling it back. Repeat until the flour is absorbed. Next, using the press-fold-turn action, knead the dough till elastic and smooth. Form into a ball and cover with plastic wrap. Leave it to rest for 30 minutes. 3. Divide the rested dough into 4 sections with a scraper and keep 3 sections covered with a plastic wrap. Flatten one section with your fingers and roll the dough through the pasta machine by starting with the widest setting. Fold the dough into half and run it through the machine a few more times. Subsequently, click a setting down and run the dough through until you reach your desired thickness. Flouring the pasta sheet periodically will prevent it from getting too sticky and make it easier to handle. The dough thickness for this recipe is No. 6 on our Ampia 150. Lastly, pass the pasta sheet through the tagliatelle attachment. Flour pasta to prevent strands from sticking and cover them with a plastic wrap before cooking. To cook pasta, season water with salt (3 liters of water + 1 tbsp of salt). When the water is boiling, add in pasta and cook for 4 to 5 minutes or till al dente. 4. While the pasta is cooking, make the sauce. Heat oil in a pan and fry the salmon for 1 to 2 minutes each side till crisp on the outside and pink on the inside. Remove from pan and cut into 2cm cubes. In the same pan, add in crushed garlic and cook till aromatic. Stir in cream, chopped dill and mustard. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer for 5 minutes. When the sauce is thickened, season with salt and black pepper to taste. Next, add in lemon juice, salmon cubes and its juices. Cook for another 1 minute and gently toss pasta in the sauce to coat. Serve with salmon roe and shaved Parmesan.
