GRILLED BUNDT-PAN PROVENCAL CHICKEN WITH ROASTED POTATOES

Steps:

• Rub the chicken all over, including the cavity with 1 tablespoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and 1 teaspoon herbes de Provence. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight; bring the chicken to room temperature 30 minutes before grilling.
• Put the potatoes in a large nonstick skillet and cover with water by 1/2 inch. Season with enough salt to taste like seawater. Bring to a boil and turn down to a simmer. Simmer potatoes until mostly cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain.
• Prepare a grill for medium indirect heat: For gas grills (with 3 or more burners), turn all the burners to medium-high heat; after about 15 minutes turn off one of the middle burners and turn the remaining burners down to medium. For charcoal grills, bank one chimney starter-full of lit and ashed-over charcoal briquettes to one side of the grill. Set up a drip pan on the other side to avoid flare-ups. (Be sure to consult the grill manufacturer's guide for best results.)
• Put the par-cooked potatoes in the bundt pan, along with the 3 smashed garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and a few grinds of black pepper. Stir to combine.
• Mix together the lemon zest with the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 teaspoon herbes de Provence and the clove grated garlic in a small bowl. Pat the chicken dry and spread a little of the oil mixture under the skin of the breasts and thighs. Brush or rub the rest all over the chicken. Sprinkle with a little more salt and pepper. Place the chicken cavity over the middle of the Bundt pan so that the chicken is sitting upright on top of the potatoes.
• Carefully put the Bundt pan on the indirect side of the grill, with the back of the chicken facing the hotter side. Cover and cook for about 40 minutes. Carefully rotate the Bundt pan so that the breast is facing the hotter side of the grill, and give the potatoes a quick stir for even cooking. Cover and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh (avoiding the bone) reads at least 165 degrees F, 25 to 30 minutes more. Remove from the grill and let rest 20 minutes before carving.
• Transfer the potatoes with a slotted spoon to a serving dish. Remove the pieces of garlic. Check for seasoning and add more salt and pepper, if necessary. Strain the fat and liquid in the bottom of the Bundt pan into a small saucepan, then spoon out most of the fat. Heat up the remaining liquid just enough to warm through. Squeeze in some lemon juice to taste and stir in the parsley. Serve the potatoes on the side and the cooking liquid drizzled over the carved chicken.

PAN ROASTED VENISON WITH SPICY CRANBERRY MEXICAN CINNAMON SAUCE WITH WHIPPED SWEET POTATOES

Cook on one side until golden brown. Turn over, reduce heat to medium and continue cooking until medium-rare, 3-4 minutes.
• Heat butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onions, celery and carrots and cook until soft. Raise the heat to high and add the port, cook until dry. Add the spices, cranberry juice, and chicken stock. Strain the sauce and discard solids. Return to pan to heat, whisk in the cold butter, stir in cranberries, and heat through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• In a bowl mash potatoes with rest of ingredients.

PAN ROASTED CHICKEN WITH CRUSHED BLACKBERRY-ANCHO SAUCE AND GREEN ONION SMASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• For the puree: Combine the ancho and water in a small bowl and let stand 30 minutes. Drain well, reserving the soaking liquid. Remove the seeds and stems and puree in a food processor with the garlic, cilantro and 1/2 cup of the liquid, adding more if needed.
• For the sauce: Melt the butter in a medium or large nonreactive saucepan over medium heat. Saute the celery, carrot and onions until the celery and carrot are tender and the onions are translucent, about 7 minutes. Add the peppercorns and continue cooking 2 more minutes. Add the port, red wine, cranberry juice concentrate, ancho puree, sugar and stock, stirring constantly and making sure to scrape the bottom of the pan. Cook until the mixture is reduced by half, strain, season to taste with salt and pepper and fold in the blackberries.
• For the chicken: Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, chile powder and season with salt and pepper. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
• Saute 2 cloves of garlic and spinach. Cool down over ice.
• Divide the spinach among the chicken breasts, placing it in the center of each. Roll up the meat and tie with kitchen string. Dredge the rolls in the flour mixture and shake off the excess.
• In a large ovenproof saute pan over medium-high heat, heat the oil until almost smoking and sear the rolls until slightly crusty, about 1 minute on each side. Place the pan in the oven and cook the meat an additional 8 minutes for medium. Let rest before slicing.
• For the potatoes: Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Brush scallions with some of olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Place on a sheet pan and roast for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and coarsely chop. Toss the potatoes with the remaining olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast until just a bit overcooked but not brown. As soon as they come out of the oven, place the potatoes in a large mixing bowl, add the garlic, scallions, and butter. Smash with a potato masher to achieve a rustic texture, not smooth. Season with salt and pepper.

HADDOCK MARGARITA WITH PAN ROASTED POTATOES

Steps:

• For the fish: Dredge the fish on both sides in the flour. Then, beat the eggs in a bowl using a fork or whisk. Take a saute pan and coat the bottom of the pan with the olive oil, so it is fully covered. Then turn the heat on medium, being careful to not let the oil burn. Splash in a speck of the egg batter to see if the oil is hot enough; the egg will puff up when the oil is ready. At this point, dip the dredged fish into the beaten egg, making sure to cover both sides well, and then place in the saute pan with the hot oil. Let the fish cook on each side until golden brown; be careful not to burn fish in the hot oil. Also, please note that the fish is very tender and breaks easily, so use caution when flipping the fish with a metal spatula or tongs.
• For the margarita sauce: In another saute pan, add half of the butter, the chicken stock, the wine, pinch of salt and pepper, and squeeze in three-quarters of the fresh lemon. Make sure to save a few lemon wheels for garnish and set aside. Simmer the sauce for several minutes on medium heat, and then add the cooked fish to the sauce and let that simmer on low heat for a couple of minutes more. This is to infuse the sauce flavor with the egg-battered fish.
• For the potatoes: Take the potatoes and cut into cubes. Par-cook them by boiling them in a small pot of water until they begin to soften, but still retain some firmness. In another saute pan over medium-low heat, coat the bottom of the pan with the olive oil and add the butter. Once the butter and olive oil have joined together, add the potatoes to the mixture and turn the heat to medium-high. Next, add the paprika, salt and pepper to taste. Stir the potatoes so that they are all coated evenly with the mixture. Taste one of the potatoes to know when they are finished cooking (they should be slightly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside). Place the cooked potatoes in a bowl and strain any excess oil from the potatoes. Garnish the potatoes with the parsley and finish with a pinch of table salt.
• Plate the fish from the margarita sauce, then pour just a bit of the sauce over the fish to highlight the bottom of the plate surrounding the fish. Pour the remaining sauce into a small cup for dipping the fish and/or potatoes. Garnish the top of the fish pieces with 2 thinly sliced lemon wheels and a parsley sprig.
