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.

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

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.

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.
