Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided, plus a little to drizzle
2 medium yellow skinned onions, 1 finely chopped, divided, 1 thinly sliced
3 cups chicken stock, divided
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons ground cumin, divided
3 tablespoons fresh thyme, 5 or 6 sprigs, chopped
1 1/2 cups white rice
1 (14-ounce) can black beans
2 pounds flank steak
2 tablespoons grill seasoning blend ( recommended: Montreal Steak Seasoning by McCormick)
1 lime
3 green plantains (they like green bananas and are available in produce department)
Waxed paper
1 small green bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, cracked away from skin and finely chopped
1 pound small shrimp, peeled, deveined and coarsely chopped
Salt and pepper
1 lemon
1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce
3 tablespoons finely chopped parsley leaves
Hot sauce (recommended: Tabasco)

Steps:

  • Heat a medium pot over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, 1 turn of the pan, and half of the finely chopped onion. Saute 3 minutes, then season with 2 teaspoons cumin, eyeball the measurement in the palm of your hand, and the thyme leaves. Pour in 2 1/2 cups of chicken stock and raise heat to bring to a boil. Add rice and lower heat to simmer when boil resumes. Cover pot tightly. After 12 minutes, stir in black beans and replace cover. Cook another 6 to 7 minutes. Turn off rice and beans, season with salt and stir to combine then let stand until ready to serve. While rice cooks, make plantains with shrimp and the meat.
  • Preheat a grill pan over high heat. The meat can also be prepared in a hot, large cast iron or nonstick skillet if you do not have a grill pan.
  • Place flank steak in a shallow dish and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil to coat ¿ about 2 tablespoons. Mix grill seasoning with 1 tablespoon cumin, eyeball the measurement in your palm. Add the zest of 1 lime to the grill seasoning and cumin. Rub the mixture over the steak evenly. Wash up and cut lime into wedges and reserve. Place the steak on hot grill or in hot pan and cook 4 to 5 minutes, turn and cook 3 minutes longer. Remove from heat and let juices redistribute 5 minutes.
  • Slit the skins of the plantains from end to end to vent them for microwave cooking. Wrap them each in wax paper, twisting up paper at ends. Microwave the plantains 4 to 5 minutes together or 90 seconds each individually on high.
  • While plantains and steak cook, place a medium nonstick skillet on the heat over a high flame. Add 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil and the sliced onions. Sear the onions up and heat through, but leave a bite to them. Place on a platter and cover with foil to reserve heat. Return pan to stove and reduce heat to between medium high and medium. Add 2 tablespoons extra, 2 turns of the pan, and the remaining finely chopped onion, the bell pepper, garlic and shrimp. Season with salt and pepper and add the zest of 1 lemon. Cook until shrimp are firm and peppers begin to soften, 4 minutes or so. Add the juice of 1/2 lemon, the tomato sauce and parsley. Turn off heat.
  • Peel and mash the steaming hot plantains with remaining 1/2 cup chicken stock and a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil. Season the plantains with salt and pile on platter or dinner plates then top with garlicky shrimp and tomatoes. Very thinly slice the cooked steak on an angle, working against the grain. Squeeze lime juice over the meat and arrange over the cooked sliced onions on serving platter. Fluff up rice and black beans a bit, transfer them to a bowl and pass at table.

MASHED PLANTAINS WITH OH, BABY! GARLIC-TOMATO SHRIMP ON TOP, GRILLED FLANK STEAK WITH LIME AND ONIONS, AND QUICK RICE WITH BLACK BEANS



Mashed Plantains with Oh, Baby! Garlic-Tomato Shrimp on Top, Grilled Flank Steak with Lime and Onions, and Quick Rice with Black Beans image

Gloria Estefan taught me how to cook plantains in the microwave and her husband, Emilio, gave me the urban, updated idea of lightening up some Cuban-influenced dishes. The result is this menu, my interpretation of Metro-Retro Cuban cooking. This dinner is also delicious made with seasoned grilled thin-cut chicken breast, seasoned in the same manner as the steak.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

7 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO), plus a little to drizzle
2 medium yellow onions, 1 finely chopped, 1 thinly sliced
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons ground cumin
3 tablespoons fresh thyme (from 5 or 6 sprigs), chopped
3 cups chicken stock or broth
1 1/2 cups uncooked white rice
1 15-ounce can black beans
Coarse salt
2 pounds flank steak
2 tablespoons grill seasoning, such as McCormick's Montreal Steak Seasoning
1 lime, zested, cut into wedges
3 green plantains
Wax paper
1 small green bell pepper, cored, seeded, and finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 pound small shrimp, peeled, deveined, and coarsely chopped
Coarse black pepper
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
1 8-ounce can tomato sauce
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley (a handful of leaves)
Hot sauce, such as Tabasco, to taste

Steps:

  • Heat a medium pot over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the EVOO (once around the pan), and half of the finely chopped onions. Saute for 3 minutes, then season with 2 teaspoons of the cumin and the thyme leaves. Pour in 2 1/2 cups of the chicken stock and raise the heat to bring to a boil. Add the rice and lower the heat to a simmer when a boil resumes. Cover the pot tightly. After 12 minutes, stir in the black beans and replace the cover. Cook for another 6 to 7 minutes. Turn off the heat, season the rice and beans with salt, and stir to combine, then let stand until ready to serve. While the rice cooks, make the plantains with shrimp and the meat.
  • Preheat a grill pan over high heat. The meat can also be prepared in a hot large cast-iron or nonstick skillet if you do not have a grill pan.
  • Place the flank steak in a shallow dish and drizzle with EVOO to coat-about 2 tablespoons. Mix the grill seasoning with the tablespoon of cumin (eyeball the measurement in your palm). Add the lime zest to the grill seasoning and cumin. Rub the mixture over the steak evenly. Place the steak on the hot grill or in the hot pan and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, then turn and cook for 3 minutes longer. Remove from the heat and let the juices redistribute for 5 minutes.
  • Slit the skins of the plantains from end to end to vent them for microwave cooking. Wrap each in wax paper, twisting the paper at the ends. Microwave the plantains for 4 to 5 minutes together or 90 seconds individually on High.
  • While the plantains and steak cook, place a medium nonstick skillet on the heat over a high flame. Add 2 tablespoons of the EVOO and the sliced onions. Sear the onions and heat through, but leave a bite to them. Place on a serving platter and cover with foil to keep them warm. Return the pan to the stove and reduce the heat to between medium high and medium. Add 2 tablespoons of the EVOO and the remaining finely chopped onions, the bell peppers, garlic, and shrimp.
  • Season with salt and pepper and add the lemon zest. Cook until the shrimp are firm and the peppers begin to soften, 4 minutes or so. Add half of the lemon juice, the tomato sauce, and parsley. Turn off the heat. Adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
  • Peel and mash the steaming hot plantains with the remaining 1/2 cup chicken stock and a drizzle of EVOO. Season the plantains with salt and pile on a platter or dinner plates, then top with garlicky shrimp and tomatoes. Very thinly slice the cooked steak on an angle, working against the grain. Squeeze lime juice over the meat and arrange over the reserved cooked sliced onions on the serving platter. Fluff up the rice and black beans a bit, transfer them to a bowl, and pass at the table.
  • Plantains look like green bananas and are available in the produce department.

BAKED LIME GINGER CHICKEN WITH GARLIC RICE



BAKED LIME GINGER CHICKEN WITH GARLIC RICE image

Categories     Chicken

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon grated lime zest
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 1/2 pounds chicken, in small pieces with skin off
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 garlic cloves, minced
5 quarter-sized fresh ginger root slices, minced
1 1/4 cup fine unseasoned dry bread crumbs
2 cups rice
3 cups chicken broth

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a broiler pan with foil. In a large shallow dish, combine the lime juice, lime zest, salt, black pepper and red pepper flakes. Add the chicken and toss well with the marinade. In a medium saucepan, warm the oil with the butter over medium heat until the butter melts. Add garlic and ginger and cook the mixture, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside. Place the bread crumbs in a large shallow dish. Toss the chicken in the bread crumbs until evenly coated and place on prepared pan. Drizzle the chicken with 3 tablespoons of the garlic-ginger mixture and bake in oven for 45 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Meanwhile, retun the saucepan with the remaining garlic-ginger mixture to medium-high heat. Add the rice and saute until lightly coated with oil, 1-2 minutes. Add the broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until the rice is tender and all liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes. When the chicken is done, pour any pan juices from the boiler pan (after separating them from the fat) into the cooked rice. Serve the chicken over the rice.

CILANTRO GARLIC LIME RICE



Cilantro Garlic Lime Rice image

I'm serving my Crock-Pot Fiesta Chicken over this tonight. I am attempting a garlicky copycat of Chipotle's Cilantro Lime Rice, but my mom does not have any limes or Real Lime juice, so I'm having to make do with limemade. I'm not sure how that will turn out, but the Fiesta Chicken will probably be too spicy for DH and maybe the sweetness of the limemade will balance it.
