Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 8h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 pounds hot Italian-style link sausage
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 cup water
4 pieces beef shin, each 1 inch thick (about 3 1/2 pounds)
2 (28-ounce) cans crushed tomatoes
6 sun-dried tomatoes, preferably not oil-packed
1 large onion, chopped
6 cloves garlic, smashed
2 teaspoons dried Italian herb mix
1 bay leaf
1 tablespoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 pound tubular pasta, such as rigatoni or ziti
Freshly grated Parmesan or pecorino

Steps:

  • Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and then the sausage; cook, turning occasionally, until brown all over, about 5 minutes. Transfer the sausage to the slow cooker. Pour off and discard all the oil in the skillet and return it to the heat. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, until brick red, about 1 minute. Add the water and bring to a boil, stirring to scrape up the browned bits. Pour the mixture over the sausage.
  • Add the beef shins, crushed tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, onion, garlic, Italian herbs, bay leaf, salt, and pepper to taste. Set the slow cooker on LOW for 8 hours, cover, and cook until the beef is very tender.
  • When ready to serve, bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it generously. Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, about 10 minutes. Transfer the sausage and beef to a cutting board, slice into serving portions, and arrange on a serving platter. Drain the pasta and toss with some of the sauce; transfer to a serving bowl.
  • Serve the meat and pasta separately with sauce on the side. Freeze any leftover sauce for up to 3 months.

RAO'S CHICKEN SCARPARIELLO (SHOEMAKER'S CHICKEN)



Rao's Chicken Scarpariello (Shoemaker's Chicken) image

Chicken scarpariello, also known as shoemaker's chicken, is a classic Italian-American dish of chicken, sausage, vinegar, onions and peppers that has all the flavors and textures: Tangy and rich, spicy and sweet, tender and crunchy. Our version is adapted from one found on the menu at Rao's, the reservations-impossible Southern Italian restaurant and celebrity hangout in Harlem. It starts with pan-frying chicken pieces and Italian sausage in a little olive oil until golden brown. Bell peppers, jalapeños, onion and garlic go into the pan and are sautéed until soft. All of that - plus hot peppers, potatoes, vinegar and wine - goes into a roasting pan and into a hot oven until the sauce thickens and the chicken is cooked through. (The potatoes are totally optional, by the way, but they are a nice, pillowy counterpoint to the prickly heat of the peppers.) Serve with a hunk of good bread to mop up the sauce.

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs and breasts, breasts cut crosswise in half
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 links Italian sausage (2 hot and 2 sweet), about 1 pound
2 large bell peppers (red, yellow or green), seeded and cut into thin strips
2 jalapeño peppers, halved lengthwise, seeded and cut into thin slices
1 large sweet onion, cut in half lengthwise and sliced
1 teaspoon minced garlic
4 to 8 hot vinegared cherry peppers (or peppadew or pepperoncini), left whole
2 to 3 small red potatoes, peeled, sliced and boiled until tender, but not mushy (optional)
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/4 to 1/2 cup red wine vinegar, to taste
1 tablespoon dried oregano leaves

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. In batches, brown the chicken, skin side down to start, about 5 minutes on each side. Remove the chicken to a plate. Add the sausage and sauté until brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. (They will not be cooked all the way through at this point.) Remove with a slotted spoon, cut into 1-inch slices and set aside.
  • Remove all but 2 tablespoons oil from the pot and sauté the bell peppers, jalapeños, onion and garlic until soft and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Return the sausage to pot, add the cherry peppers, potatoes (if using), chicken broth, wine, vinegar, oregano and season with salt and pepper. Gently mix together, then transfer everything in the pot to a roasting pan. Nestle the chicken in the vegetables and sausage and roast in the oven until chicken is cooked through and sauce has reduced slightly, about 30 minutes.
