Taste the Mediterranean in this warming, no pastry pie from Silvana Franco

Easy
Serves 6
Prep 30 - 45 mins
Cook 50 - 1 hr
Freezable

Ingredients

3 tbsp olive oil
large skinless chicken thigh fillets, quartered
130g packet cubed pancetta
large butternut squash (about 900g/2lb), peeled, seeded and cut into 2.5cm/1in cubes
large onion , thinly sliced
garlic clove , thinly sliced
1 tsp dried marjoram
200ml Italian red wine (see Goes well with...)
level tsp plain flour
2 x 400g cans Italian plum tomatoes
2 tbsp 2 tbsp redcurrants or cranberry jelly
loaf garlic and herb or plain ciabatta
3 tbsp freshly grated parmesan

Method

Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a large flameproof casserole and cook the chicken over a medium to high heat until lightly browned. Lift out on to a plate with a slotted spoon. Tip the pancetta, squash and onion into the pan and cook over a high heat for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally until beginning to brown. Return the chicken to the pan, add the garlic and marjoram and cook for 1 minute. Keep back 2 tbsp of the wine then pour the rest into the pan and let it bubble for 5 minutes.

Blend the flour with the reserved wine until smooth. Stir this into the pan with the tomatoes and their juice, the jelly and some salt and pepper. Lower the heat, half-cover with a lid and simmer gently for 30-40 minutes until the squash is just tender. (To prepare ahead, cool then chill at this point up to a day before. You can also freeze it for up to a month. To serve, heat through in the casserole, then continue with step 3.)

Preheat the oven to 220C/gas 7/fan 200C. Cut the ciabatta into very thin slices and arrange on top of the casserole, so they casually overlap. Drizzle the last tablespoon of olive oil over the ciabatta and sprinkle with the parmesan and a good grinding of black pepper. Bake uncovered for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve straight from the casserole.

Dining out? Restaurant Dos & Don’ts

The Arabic Food Recipes kitchen (The Home of Delicious Arabic Food Recipes) presents Dining out? Restaurant Dos & Don’ts.

 
Is it rude to tweet about a luscious treacle tart at dinner? Or take a phone call when your starter is being served?

It’s an issue that has London divided in a Zagat London Restaurants survey released Wednesday that asked respondents to weigh on the issue.

According to the 5,500 diners answering the survey, 53 percent said it’s “rude and inappropriate” to text, tweet or talk on the phone while dining at the table.

A trans-Atlantic comparison reveals that the Brits — who have a historic reputation as the exemplification of etiquette and manners — are more forgiving than their American counterparts.

In Los Angeles, for example, more than half of Zagat readers — 67 percent — said it was rude to text and dine, while 64 percent of New Yorkers shared the same opinion.

Meanwhile, preserving your Michelin meal or epic triple-decker sandwich on camera was considered acceptable by the majority of diners, with 74 percent of Londoners saying it was “ok.”

The Arabic Food Recipes kitchen (The Home of Delicious Arabic Food Recipes) invites you to try Falafel in Pita with Yogurt Sauce recipe. Enjoy our quick and easy  recipes and learn how to make Falafel in Pita with Yogurt Sauce. 

Total Time: 45 min
Prep 25 min
Cook 20 min

Yield: 4 servings

Level: Easy

Ingredients

2 tablespoons canola oil, plus extra for frying
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
1 large red bell pepper, chopped
5 cloves garlic, chopped
2 (14-ounce) cans chick peas, drained
1 teaspoon red chili flakes
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 egg
1 tablespoon salt
1/2 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
5 tablespoons flour
2 cups freshly chopped parsley leaves
3/4 cup freshly chopped cilantro leaves
Pitas, for sandwich
Toppings: shredded lettuce and chopped tomato, sliced cucumbers
Yogurt Dipping Sauce, recipe follows

Directions

In medium skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons oil and sweat onion and peppers 2 to 3 minutes then garlic and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.

In a food processor, pulse together chick peas, red chili flakes, ground cumin, the egg, salt and black pepper to form a coarse consistency. Then add flour, parsley, and cilantro. Pulse until mixture starts pulling from the sides of the food processor.

Remove mixture to a large bowl and mix in the onion mixture. Chill falafel until ready to cook.

Roll falafel dough into 1-inch rounds. Then form rounds into an oblong quenelle shape, like a football.

In a thick-bottomed skillet heat 1/2 inch of canola oil over medium heat to 350 degrees F. Cook falafel balls a few at a time, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Be sure to turn them so they do not burn or stick to the bottom of the pan. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt while still hot.

Open the pita bread to make pockets. Place 3 to 4 falafels inside. Stuff with lettuce tomato and cucumbers and drizzle sauce generously on the inside. Serve immediately.

Yogurt Dipping Sauce:

1 cup plain yogurt
1/2 tablespoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon freshly chopped cilantro leaves
2 teaspoons freshly chopped parsley leaves
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Mix ingredients together in a small bowl and chill until ready to use.

Yield: 1 cup

Italian chicken with ham, basil & beans recipe


The Chicken Recipes Kitchen (The home of delicious chicken recipes) invites you to try Italian chicken with ham, basil & beans Recipe. Enjoy our collection of quick & easy recipes and learn how to make Italian chicken with ham, basil & beans.

A great recipe for the end of the summer, using sweet roasted tomatoes and garlic. Serve with the best crusty bread you can get you hands on

Easy
Serves 4
Prep 10 mins
Cook 1 hr 15 mins
Freezable

Ingredients

8 skinless chicken thighs , bone in
8 slices prosciutto or other dry-cured ham
2 tbsp olive oil
2 whole heads garlic
800g tomatoes (a mix of smaller yellow and red tomatoes looks good)
175ml dry white wine
400g can cannellini beans or other white beans, rinsed and drained
large bunch basil

Method

Season the chicken thighs all over with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Pinch off 8 sprigs from the basil (about 3 leaves each per sprig) and lay one on top of each chicken thigh. Wrap each thigh in a piece of ham, with the ends tucked underneath.

Heat oven to 160C/fan 140C/gas 3. Heat the oil in a large roasting tin over two of the burners on the hob. Add the chicken and fry for about 4 mins or until the ham is just crisped and the chicken is lightly golden. Turn and repeat.

Meanwhile, cut the garlic bulbs in half around the middle and halve the tomatoes if small, quarter them if they're big. Pick the leaves from the rest of the basil. Once the chicken has browned on both sides, add all of the tomatoes, half of the basil and the wine. Season then cover with foil and leave to cook slowly in the oven for 40 mins.

Take out of the oven and turn the heat up to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Remove the foil from the pan and stir the beans into the tomatoey juices. Return to the oven, uncovered, for 30 mins until the tomatoes, chicken and garlic are starting to crisp around the edges and the chicken is very tender. Just before serving, tear the remaining basil roughly then stir through or scatter over the pan.

Try

Wine

The quality of the wine makes all the difference in this recipe, so only use one you'd be happy to drink.

Zagat’s Picks for the Top Restaurants in London

The Arabic Food Recipes kitchen (The Home of Delicious Arabic Food Recipes) presents Zagat’s Picks for the Top Restaurants in London.

 
The most popular restaurant in London as chosen by Zagat readers is a grandiose café-restaurant with towering pillars and sweeping archways that was formerly a car showroom and now serves high tea and coq au vin.

The 2012 London Restaurants Survey includes the ratings and reviews of 1,187 restaurants in Greater London as voted on by 5,497 local diners.

Of the 1,397 reviews posted for The Wolseley, 84 percent of diners said they liked their experience, making the west-end eatery the most popular among Zagat readers according to the latest survey released Wednesday.

The new rating bumped the previous winner, Gordon Ramsay on Royal Hospital Road, to second spot.

At The Wolseley, guests dine in a bistro atmosphere in the style of old Europe, where waiters stroll by with patisserie trolleys laden with croissants and Danish pastries and lunch and dinner menus are a mix of traditional British fare, as well as French, German and Italian classics.

Dishes like shepherd’s pie, roast beef with Yorkshire pudding, osso bucco, steak frites, duck confit, and Wiener Schnitzel have much of Western Europe gastronomically covered.


Many of the reader reviews were equally impressed with the energy in the restaurant and the food that was presented to them.

“A celebration from the first step into the restaurant. You are swept up by the energy of the entire experience,” wrote one Zagat reader.

“Food is creative and even ordinary sounding menu items arrive beautifully prepared as though you’ve never eaten them before. The room is upscale and fun without being overbeing. Service is generally excellent but can be haughty.”

Afternoon tea is another popular feature. For £21 diners get assorted finger sandwiches, scones with homemade jam and clotted cream, cakes and pastries and choice of teas.

Meanwhile, last month The Good Food Guide crowned Heston Blumenthal’s The Fat Duck the top restaurant in the UK.

The full survey is available now in bookstores for $15.95, online at Zagat.com or by downloading one of their mobile apps.

Chicken tikka kebabs with Indian salad recipe


The Chicken Recipes Kitchen (The home of delicious chicken recipes) invites you to try Chicken tikka kebabs with Indian salad Recipe. Enjoy our collection of quick & easy recipes and learn how to make Chicken tikka kebabs with Indian salad. 

Low-fat version of the classic dish

Easy
Serves 4
Cook 1 hr
Including 30 minutes to marinate
Low-fat

Ingredients

150ml pot low fat natural yogurt
2 tbsp tikka masala paste (we used Patak's)
700g skinless, boneless chicken breasts , cut into chunks
½ cucumber , chopped
large tomato , chopped
1 green chilli , seeded and finely chopped
1 small onion , finely sliced
4 tbsp roughly chopped fresh coriander
8 soft flour tortillas wraps or chapatis

Method

Mix the yogurt with the curry paste in a large bowl. Add the chicken, season, then stir really well. Cover and leave for 30 minutes at room temperature to give the spices time to flavour the chicken (or make ahead and chill for several hours or overnight).

Make the salad before you start to cook the kebabs. Simply mix together the cucumber, tomatoes, chilli, onion and coriander. Season lightly, then cover until you're ready to serve with the meal.

Preheat the grill or barbecue. Push the chicken onto 8 metal or wooden skewers. Grill or barbecue the kebabs for 8-10 minutes, turning them frequently. At the same time, warm the tortillas or chapatis on one side of the barbecue, wrapping them in foil. Serve two kebabs per person, with two tortillas or chapatis and plenty of salad.

Indian spice box chicken recipe


The Chicken Recipes Kitchen (The home of delicious chicken recipes) invites you to try Indian spice box chicken Recipe. Enjoy our collection of quick & easy recipes and learn how to make Indian spice box chicken. 

Serve this exquisitely flavoured chicken dish with mounds of fluffy rice

Easy
Serves 4
Prep 25 - 30 mins
Cook 1 hr 5 mins - 1 hr 10 mins

Ingredients

50g fat green mild chillies (about 3 large ones)
3 large garlic cloves
5cm piece of fresh root ginger
a bunch of fresh coriander
200g carton of full-fat Greek yogurt
2 medium onions
8 medium bone-in chicken thighs (total weight about 800g-1kg/1lb 12oz-2lb 4oz)
2 tbsp groundnut or corn oil
2 tsp fennel seeds
1 tsp cumin seeds
a good knob of butter
Chilli-ginger garnish , to serve (see below)

Method

Make the Chilli-ginger garnish (see right), before you start the chicken.
 

Cut down the length of the green chillies, then remove the seeds by scraping them out with a teaspoon. You may want to wear rubber gloves for this job - fiery seeds can give the fingers a real chilli sting. Cut off the stalk ends, chop the chillies into rough pieces and put them in a blender or food processor. Peel and roughly chop the garlic and add to the chillies. Do the same with the ginger.
 

Pick the leaves off the coriander and drop them into the blender as you go (reserve the stems for the garnish). Tip in the yogurt and blitz everything to a puree. This can take a few minutes and you may have to stop the blender a few times to scrape all the gunge down from the sides - a rubber spatula will make this job much easier.
 

Peel, halve and thinly slice the onions. Pull the skin off the chicken, using kitchen paper to help you get a good grip. Heat the oil in a saute pan over a medium heat until hot - when you drop in a spice seed or two it should sizzle. Toss in the fennel and cumin seeds and let them crackle and pop for 10-20 seconds, stirring all the time so they don't burn. They're ready when you get a lovely whiff of warm nuts. If the oil starts to smoke, remove pan from the heat.
 

Plop in the butter and let it melt, then throw in the sliced onions and turn the heat down a tad. Stir to mix the onions and spice seeds, then cook for about 10 minutes until the onions are meltingly soft and tinged golden brown. Give them a vigorous stir now and then, but don't stir them too often or they won't take on any colour.
 

Push the onions to one side of the pan, then add the chicken thighs, smooth side down. Increase the heat to between medium and high and fry the chicken until it's golden brown on both sides. This should take about 15-20 minutes and you will need to turn the pieces over halfway (a pair of tongs are good for this). Watch carefully in case the onions start to brown too much - if they do, pile them up on top of the chicken.
 

Stir in some of the yogurt mixture and cook until it disappears - repeat a dollop at a time. Whizz 150ml/¼ pint cold water in the blender to use the last bits of the mixture and add to the pan with a pinch of salt. Stir until bubbling, scraping up any crispy bits. Reduce the heat to its lowest and cover the pan tightly. Simmer for 30-35 minutes or until the chicken is tender when pierced, stirring and turning halfway and adding a splash of hot water if the sauce is too dry. Serve sprinkled with finely chopped coriander stems and a little chilli garnish (put the rest in a bowl on the table).

Try
Getting ahead

If you have time, make this dish a few hours before you need it (or even the day before), to give those tart, tangy chillies a chance to mingle with the toasted spice flavours.

Squeeze lemon over the chicken and season. Sprinkle over half the tarragon and roast in the oven for 30 minutes. Transfer the chicken and vegetables to a serving platter.

Place the roasting pan on the stovetop over medium heat. Add the wine, stock and mustard and cook, stirring, for 3-4 minutes until reduced. Pour over the chicken and garnish with remaining tarragon. Serve with a green salad.

Balsamic Chicken Drumettes Recipe


The Chicken Recipes Kitchen (The home of delicious chicken recipes) invites you to try Balsamic Chicken Drumettes Recipe. Enjoy our collection of quick & easy recipes and learn how to make Balsamic Chicken Drumettes.

Total Time: 2 hr 45 min
Prep 10 min
Inactive 2 hr 0 min
Cook 35 min

Yield: 4 to 6 servings
Level: Easy

Ingredients

    1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
    1/2 cup honey
    1/2 cup brown sugar
    1/4 cup soy sauce
    5 sprigs of rosemary
    5 garlic cloves, halved
    10 to 12 chicken drumsticks
    2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
    1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley


Directions

Combine the balsamic, honey, brown sugar, soy sauce, rosemary sprigs, and garlic cloves, in a large, re-sealable plastic bag. Shake and squeeze the contents of the bag to dissolve the honey and the brown sugar. Add the chicken drumsticks to the bag and seal with as little air as possible in the bag. Place in the refrigerator and marinate for 2 hours.

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

Place the chicken drumsticks on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake until the skin is caramelized and very dark in spots, about 30 to 35 minutes.

Meanwhile, place the marinade in a small saucepan. Bring the marinade to a boil (in order to kill bacteria). Reduce the heat to simmer and cook over low heat until thick, about 15 minutes. Reserve.

Use a pastry brush to brush some of the cooked marinade on the cooked chicken. Place the chicken on a serving platter. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds and the chopped parsley.

Cook's note: I like the rosemary and garlic flavors in the background. Brushing the cooked drumettes with the reduced marinade helps the flavors along. Also, re-moistening helps the parsley and the seeds to adhere.

French Chicken in a Pot with Drunken Jus and Mashed Camembert Potatoes

Enjoy our collection of quick & easy recipes and learn how to make French Chicken in a Pot with Drunken Jus and Mashed Camembert Potatoes.

Total Time: 2 hr 30 min
Prep 20 min
Inactive 10 min
Cook 2 hr 0 min

Yield: 4 servings
Level: Easy

Ingredients

1 (4-pound) whole chicken
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 rib celery and green tops, chopped
1 small carrot, peeled and chopped
1 head garlic, cloves peeled and sliced
2 small sprigs fresh rosemary
1 large fresh bay leaf
2 pounds starchy potatoes, peeled and chunked
1 medium turnip, trimmed and chunked or 2 parsnips, peeled and sliced
1 cup milk or chicken stock, warmed
10 to 12 ounces ripe Camembert or 1 small individual wheel
Freshly grated nutmeg
1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds green beans, trimmed
1 tablespoon butter
1/3 bottle dry white wine (about 1 cup)
Juice of 1 lemon


Directions

Remove the giblets, then wash and dry the chicken. Tuck the wings back and underneath the backbone until they stay in place. Season liberally with kosher salt or sea salt and lots of black pepper.

Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.

Heat a large Dutch oven over medium to medium-high heat.

Add 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil to the hot pot and brown the chicken breast-side down first, turn using a wooden spoon or closed tongs placed in cavity.

Once the bird has browned on both sides, remove the chicken to a plate and add the onion, celery, carrot, garlic, rosemary, bay leaf, salt, and pepper, and cover the pan. Sweat the vegetables to make a little pan juice, 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Place the bird atop the vegetables and cover the pot. Transfer to the oven with the rack at the oven bottom, and roast about 1 1/2 hours, until a thermometer reads a minimum of 165 degrees F at the thickest part of the bird.

About 15 to 20 minutes before the chicken comes out of the oven, place the potatoes and turnips in a pot, cover with water, bring to a boil, and cook to tender. Drain, and mash with milk, and ripe camembert cheese. Season the potatoes with salt, pepper, and nutmeg, to taste. Cover and turn off the heat to keep potatoes warm.

Place the chicken on a carving board and cover with foil.

In a large pot, bring a few inches of water to a boil for the green beans. Salt the water, and boil the beans 5 to 6 minutes for tender-crisp. Drain and dress with butter.

Pour the pan juices and scrape the solids through a strainer into a bowl and return the pan to stovetop over medium heat. Press down on straining solids to collect all of the pan juices. Add the wine to the hot pan, and scrape up the drippings. Pour in the juices and reduce over a rapid simmer for about 10 minutes to concentrate the flavors. Add the lemon juice and turn off the heat. Transfer to a gravy boat or serving dish.

Carve the chicken and serve with pan juices, potatoes, and beans.

Cook's Note: Leftover chicken makes for a delicious addition to any salad, or serve as sandwiches with sliced pears, lemon-dressed watercress, Cheddar cheese, and chutney

The FDA has rejected labeling of genetically engineered foods since 1992, according to the release. The European Union, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Korea, Brazil and China require labeling of genetically engineered foods, according to the release.
The FDA is considering whether to approve genetically engineered salmon and, if it is approved, whether to require labels.
“We are asking the FDA to change a decades-old and out-of-touch policy,” Andrew Kimbrell, executive director of the Center for Food Safety, said in the release. “Today’s consumers are more informed than ever, and they have a right to know about the foods they are purchasing and consuming. We want the FDA to require labeling on foods intentionally produced using genetic engineering.”

Chinese American Food Purveyors Object to Law Banning Shark Fins

Chinese American Food

New legislation to ban shark fin soup, the main component of unfairly deprived of a century-old gourmet customer, California restaurant owner said. Proposed by Rep. Bill grew up eating soup, but a cruel practice known as shark's fin.

In California, new legislation banning the sale and possession of shark fins, some of China is opposed to the U.S. Food and communicators, the law unfairly deprived of their customers a taste of Asian history, shark fin soup to wake up.

Thailand's king, Monterey Park Wing Hop Fung, a Chinese manager of the store for dried shark fin, said: "Now is the Chinese people can not find a thing in the United States,."

The main component of dry shark fin soup can sell more than $ 2,000 a pound, in California. Just as the emperor had, expensive soup has become a status and wealth and honor a symbol of respect for the guests of the gesture.

Rep. Paul Fong (D Sunnyvale) grew up eating the soup, but the introduction of AB 376 limits the company he called a cruel practice, and that the fins hacked to death and then thrown into the water of life shark. Governor Jerry Brown signed the bill Friday. Asian Food Trade Association, Betty said, there is no fair to hear the petitions and organized protests.

"Said that if the United States and California, anyone can eat shark-related products, yes, we have it, but if you only for the fins, while others can take advantage of the other part, no, we think it is discriminatory, "Mr Tsang said. "We just can not accept this logic."

Ban hurt business, Mr Donald Tsang, to continue, it is estimated, the restaurant lost about $ 200 per table on average, if they do not become the dinner of shark's fin soup.

Wu Zhen is the owner of the restaurant he Rosemead, Chuan Hing, closed at the end of this year. He relies on the establishment of special occasions such as weddings and Mother's Day orders for shark fin soup.

"My main business is selling soup, all on the menu the same? Secondary schools," Wu said Mandarin around his empty restaurant.

Mr Tsang said: "This bill is really to stop killing sharks for people?! They are still killing their meat."

Not completely ban the sale of shark fins, Mr Tsang suggested that the Legislative Council to strengthen the existing federal law prohibits the killing of their shark fins.

Jackie Chan weeks, Alhambra, Rowland Heights happiness to Hong Kong restaurant owner, said: "This is not fair, we can not use other shark products have been killed in the United States to eat shark fin to the left of enterprises will use it . ".

Supporters of the ban insist fin is not merely "left over" because they command more than the price of shark meat is much higher, and provide a powerful incentive, only the fin fishermen. Supporters of the law that there is no way to ensure that fishermen use the entire shark.

The ban is expected to take effect January 1 next year, but Brown signed a package bill to allow suppliers, until July 1, 2013, the sale of existing stocks of shark fin.

Ong Keng Yong said: "As a business, I have nothing to say, we only see in a year's inventory,." "However, culture ... I regret is that the younger generation of Chinese people in the United States will not be able to appreciate the thousands-year-old tradition."

"For some people, on the state, said:" Hong Kong-packing brick, University of Southern California. Sichuan stop eating shark fin soup two years ago, when she read, her favorite celebrity, the Hong Kong actor Chen Jian Feng, against cruelty to animals.

"I do not think shark's fin, even if there is any taste; it is only in the soup, so I does not matter if the restaurant does not provide," she said.

But weeks, "this issue is no longer just a question whether we can sell or not sell shark fin, which is a cultural discrimination."

"We will unite, and try to match," he said. "We want to respect the U.S. law, but we also want to make sure our voices are heard fairly."
