Slowly whisk in the cornmeal and cook for, 15 to 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and spread into a buttered 11 by 17 inch baking sheet. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

Cook the pork for 3 to 4 minutes on 1 side or until golden brown, turn over, reduce heat to medium and continue cooking to medium doneness. Remove to a plate and keep warm. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the fat. Add the garlic and onions and cook until soft. Add the wine and cook until reduced by half. Add the stock and cook to a sauce consistency. Whisk in the mustards and thyme and season with salt and pepper to taste.

MUSTARD GREENS SALAD WITH ANCHOVY CROUTONS



Mustard Greens Salad with Anchovy Croutons image

Because mustard greens are on the cusp of chewy, it's a good idea to let the salad stand for a few minutes once you've tossed everything together. This will give the leaves a chance to soften.

GARLIC & THYME-ROASTED CHICKEN PARTS WITH MUSTARD CROUTONS



Garlic & Thyme-Roasted Chicken Parts With Mustard Croutons image

This easy and delicious recipe is from Melissa Clark's new cookbook, "In the Kitchen with A Good Appetite". The drippings from the chicken add a fabulous flavour to the bread underneath which crisps while roasting. Serve with a salad or vegetable for a complete meal. NOTE: You must use a heavy-bottomed roasting pan. No aluminum--you'll just end up burning the bread.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h5m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

country bread, ciabatta or other sturdy bread, preferably stale and sliced 1/2 inch thick
Dijon mustard, as needed
extra virgin olive oil, as needed
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, more as needed
1 (4 -5 lb) chicken, cut into 8 serving pieces, rinsed and patted dry
1 head garlic, separated into cloves (but not peeled)
1 bay leaf, torn into pieces
1/2 bunch thyme, sprigs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F Lay the bread slices in the bottom of a heavy-duty roasting pan in one layer. Brush with mustard, drizzle liberally with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Season the chicken all over with salt and pepper and place the pieces on the bread, arranging the white meat in the center and the dark meat and wings around the sides. Scatter the garlic cloves, bay leaf, and thyme over the chicken and drizzle everything with more oil (take care to drizzle the garlic cloves).
  • Roast the chicken until it's lightly browned and the thigh juices run clear when pricked with a knife, about 50 minutes. If you like, you can crisp the skin by running the pan under the broiler for a minute, though you might want to rescue the garlic cloves before you do so they don't burn (if you don't plan to eat them, it doesn't matter so much). Serve the chicken with pieces of bread from the pan.

Tips:

  • For a crispy crouton, use stale bread that is at least a day old.
  • Cut the bread into 1-inch cubes for a uniform toast.
  • Use a variety of breads for a more complex flavor, such as sourdough, French bread, or whole wheat.
  • Toss the bread cubes with olive oil, melted butter, or cooking spray for a richer flavor.
  • Season the croutons with salt, pepper, and herbs for a savory snack.
  • Bake the croutons in a preheated oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Store the croutons in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Mustard croutons are a versatile and delicious addition to any salad, soup, or casserole. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With the right ingredients and a little effort, you can create a flavorful and crispy crouton that will add a touch of elegance to your next meal.
