Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 strips thick-cut bacon, chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 green bell pepper, stemmed, seeded and chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
16 ounces (about 3 1/2 cups) sweet corn kernels, drained if canned, thawed if frozen
16 ounces (about 3 1/2 cups) cooked lima beans, drained if canned, thawed if frozen
2 cups peeled pearl onions, thawed if frozen
1 teaspoon hot sauce, such as Frank's Red Hot, or to taste
1/2 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp, about 5 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer the crisp bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Season the chicken well with salt and pepper and sear in the same skillet, stirring, until the edges begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the bell pepper and garlic and cook until softened slightly, about 5 minutes. Add the corn, lima beans, pearl onions, hot sauce, and cream, and cook until simmering. Reduce the heat to medium low and cook until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes.
  • Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper; stir in the reserved bacon and serve immediately.

The recipe came from Everyday Food. As you can see I didn't use chicken but fish. It was very good with lots of flavor.

3 large tomatoes, cut into 1 inch wedges
2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
coarse salt and ground pepper
2 small zucchini, diced medium
2 c corn kernels (from 3 ears)
2 c frozen lima beans, thawed. you can also use green beans if you don't like limas.
1 rotisserie chicken (skin removed), meat shredded (4 cups)
1 avocado, halve, pitted, peeled and thinly sliced
3 oz farmer cheese, crumbled (1/2 cup) i used feta because i had that on hand.

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl, toss together tomatoes and 1 tablespoon oil. Season with salt and pepper.
  • 2. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high. Add zucchini and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until softened slightly, 4 minutes.
  • 3. Add corn and lima beans and cook until corn is cooked through and lima beans are softened, 3 minutes.
  • 4. Add chicken and cook until warmed through, stirring. Season to taste.
  • 5. Divide among 4 plates. Top with avocado and cheese and serve with tomatoes along side.

PRESSED PICNIC SANDWICH



Pressed Picnic Sandwich image

A crowded picnic basket won't cramp the style of this hearty sandwich, which actually tastes better when pressed, as it enables the vinaigrette to permeate each layer of grilled peppers, cured meats, marinated artichokes, goat cheese, and fresh herbs.

Time 1h50m

Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 medium red bell peppers
1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons warm water
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 loaf ciabatta (1 pound, about 6 inches wide)
1/2 cup prepared black-olive paste
4 ounces fresh goat cheese
8 ounces marinated artichoke hearts, drained
6 ounces prosciutto, thinly sliced
4 ounces spicy salami, thinly sliced
2 cups loosely packed mixed fresh herbs, such as basil, cilantro, or parsley

Steps:

  • Heat grill to (or a grill pan over) high, or preheat broiler. Cook peppers (on a rimmed baking sheet, if using broiler), turning frequently so all sides cook evenly, until completely charred, 10 minutes. Remove from heat, transfer peppers to a bowl, and cover with plastic. Set aside until skins loosen and peppers are cool enough to handle, about 15 minutes. Using your hands, rub off charred skin, rinsing your hands frequently under cold running water. Pat peppers dry. Slice peppers in half, remove seeds and stems, and cut flesh into 1-inch-wide strips.
  • In a medium bowl, combine Dijon and vinegar. Gradually whisk in oil, followed by water. Season to taste with salt and pepper; set aside.
  • Slice bread horizontally and scoop out soft interior (reserve for another use). Spread olive paste on bottom crust, then add peppers. Crumble goat cheese on top of peppers. Arrange artichokes over goat cheese. Drizzle half the vinaigrette (about 1/4 cup) on top. Arrange prosciutto and salami over artichokes. Scatter herbs over meats. Drizzle remaining vinaigrette (1/4 cup) over inside of top crust, then place top crust on sandwich.
  • Wrap sandwich tightly with plastic. Set a weight, such as a brick or large cast-iron skillet, on top at least 1 hour and up to 8 hours. When ready to serve, slice sandwich horizontally into 6 to 8 pieces.
