Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (12 ounce) package dry spinach fettuccine
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon butter
2 large skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 large leeks, chopped, or more to taste
2 cloves garlic, chopped, or more to taste
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup heavy whipping cream
⅓ cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
½ cup chopped toasted walnuts
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 bunch chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Cook fettuccine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Set aside and keep warm.
  • Heat remaining tablespoon olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and leeks; cook and stir until leeks are tender and chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in chicken broth; continue cooking 2 to 3 minutes more. Pour in heavy cream. Reduce heat; let simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir Gorgonzola cheese and walnuts into the skillet with the chicken; continue to simmer until cheese has melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Toss with cooked pasta. Top with parsley.

VANILLA CRèME BRûLéE



Vanilla Crème Brûlée image

Five simple ingredients - cream, vanilla, salt, eggs and sugar - make for an exquisitely rich and elegant dessert. Most crème brûlée recipes require the use of a small propane torch to achieve the crackly sugar top, but this version offers a simpler (and safer) solution: your oven's broiler. One thing to note: Be sure to let the custard set for several hours in the refrigerator before brûléeing the top, otherwise you'll end up with soupy custard.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups heavy or light cream, or half-and-half
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise, or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
5 egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar, more for topping

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325 degrees. In a saucepan, combine cream, vanilla bean and salt and cook over low heat just until hot. Let sit for a few minutes, then discard vanilla bean. (If using vanilla extract, add it now.)
  • In a bowl, beat yolks and sugar together until light. Stir about a quarter of the cream into this mixture, then pour sugar-egg mixture into cream and stir. Pour into four 6-ounce ramekins and place ramekins in a baking dish; fill dish with boiling water halfway up the sides of the dishes. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until centers are barely set. Cool completely. Refrigerate for several hours and up to a couple of days.
  • When ready to serve, top each custard with about a teaspoon of sugar in a thin layer. Place ramekins in a broiler 2 to 3 inches from heat source. Turn on broiler. Cook until sugar melts and browns or even blackens a bit, about 5 minutes. Serve within two hours.

Categories     Side dish, Starter

Time 1h10m

Yield Serves 4 as a side or starter

Number Of Ingredients 13

700g fat Jerusalem artichokes , all about the same size, cleaned
4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
270g baby leeks , trimmed
150g crème fraîche
2 tbsp buttermilk , or whole milk
1 head of Treviso lettuce or red chicory, leaves separated
25g toasted hazelnuts , halved
25g gouda , or vegetarian alternative, shaved
3 tsp red wine vinegar , or to taste
¼ tsp Dijon mustard , or to taste
pinch of caster sugar , or to taste
1½ tbsp extra virgin olive oil (a buttery oil, not a grassy one)
1½ tbsp hazelnut or walnut oil

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Halve any fatter artichokes lengthways and put all of them in a roasting tin in which they can lie in a single layer. Season and toss with half the olive oil. Turn everything over with your hands and roast for about 30 mins.
  • Toss the leeks in the rest of the oil and season. Add to the tin and cook for a final 15-20 mins. The leeks should be tender and the artichokes completely soft.
  • Mix together the crème fraîche and the buttermilk or milk. Set aside.
  • To make the dressing, beat all the ingredients together with a fork. Season. Taste, as you might want to adjust the sweetness or acidity.
  • Toss the Treviso lettuce or chicory with the dressing. Put the roast vegetables on a serving platter or shallow dish, scatter the Treviso or chicory over, then spoon on the crème fraîche mixture (or serve it on the side). Scatter over the hazelnuts and cheese, and serve.
