MISO ROASTED DUCK WITH CHERRY GLAZED BOK CHOY

Steps:

• Using a fork, pierce the duck skin all over to allow the flavor of the marinade to penetrate and the fat to drain. Combine honey, soy sauce, coffee, ginger, miso and brown sugar together in a bowl, stir well to dissolve the brown sugar and miso. Squeeze the citrus juice into the marinade then stuff the cavity of the duck with the citrus halves. Place the duck in a 2 gallon freezer bag, then pour in the marinade. Seal and refrigerate for 24 hours.
• The next day, remove the duck from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towel. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Place the duck on a rack in a roasting pan. Fold the wing tips back and tie the legs together. First, roast the duck for 20 minutes, the high temperature will caramelize the sugars on the outside of the duck and set a rich mahogany color. After 20 minutes, drop the temperature down to 325 degrees F and roast for 1 hour. Duck heaven baby!
• You can start the bok choy when the duck has about 10 minutes left in cooking. Preheat a large skillet on medium high. Add peanut oil.
• Saute cut side down for about 1 minute until golden. Discard the oil. Take the back-side of a knife and give the ginger a good whack. Bruising the ginger will release a ton of flavor. Add the ginger to the pan with bok choy then add the mirin, soy, and chicken stock. Stir in the miso, careful not to damage the food.
• While you have the spoon in your hand, stir in the cornstarch mixture, then let the sauce simmer and thicken for a few minutes. Finish with the fresh cherries, a pinch of salt, and fresh cracked white pepper.

CHICKEN SUPREMES IN PARCHMENT WITH ROASTED SQUASH SAUCE AND BABY BOK CHOY

Steps:

• Make the Chicken: Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
• Using scissors, round off the 4 corners of the parchment paper squares to make large circles (don't worry about the circle being perfect). Arrange each breast, slightly off center, on the paper circles, with the smooth rounded sides up. Fold one end of the paper over each breast, to make half-moon shapes. (The breasts should be horizontal to the folds.) Make 1/4-inch folds all around the open ends and press to crimp and seal. Close the final crimp with a paper clip. Place packages on a baking sheet and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Make the Sauce: Heat the oil in a saucepot over medium heat. Add the shallot and garlic and cook, stirring, until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the roasted squash and fennel and season with salt, to taste. Cook, scraping the bottom of the pot with the wooden spoon to loosen any bits, about 3 to 4 minutes. Raise the heat to high, add the sherry, and cook, stirring, until completely evaporated. Add the chicken stock, bring to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook for 7 minutes. Season with pepper. Remove from the heat and let cool.
• Puree the sauce in a blender and strain it through a fine-mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth. (The sauce and can be made a day in advance.)
• When ready to serve: Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F.
• Bake the chicken packages until puffed and lightly browned, about 20 minutes.
• Heat the sesame oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bok choy, season with salt, and cook until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Add the soy sauce and chicken stock, cover, and cook until soft but still firm in the center, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Meanwhile, reheat the sauce in a small saucepan and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Divide the chicken packages among 4 plates. Using scissors, cut an "X" in the top of each package and pull back the edges to reveal the chicken. Spoon 2 to 4 tablespoons of the sauce over the chicken, and nestle 2 halves of the bok choy beside the chicken. Garnish with the cilantro sprigs and serve immediately.
