CHICKEN AND SAUSAGE CASSEROLE (WITH GRAPES)

Steps:

• Pour the can of white wine and chicken stock (good slosh) into a casserole pot. Add the tarragon, salt and pepper (I usually do about 20 twists) then as many grapes as you want. Usually the more you have, the better.
• Heat a frying pan and melt the butter, along with the chopped onion and celery. Cook until they're soft (2 minutes or so). Drain them using a metal spoon with holes before placing them into a large casserole pot.
• Next, put the flour in a glass dish and add the sausages and chicken.
• Make sure all sides of the meat are coated with flour, and the sausages have been pricked with a knife. The reason for doing this is so that they get sealed so wont lose their flavours when being cooked.
• Put them in the frying pan and you may need to add a little more olive oil. Fry them lightly, just so they are turning brown before transferring them to the casserole pot.
• Mix the meat with the juice in the pot just to spread it out, and place in an oven at 150oC for 2-3 hours. This will mean it can simmer and usually you will find the longer you leave it, the fruitier it will become as the grapes have had a chance to expel all their juices. You could turn up the temperature if in a hurry, and leave it in for an hour. The nice thing is, it is so versatile!
• Leave to stand afterwards for about 10 minutes, then serve either with rice or new potatos. Enjoy :).

ROASTED SAUSAGES WITH GRAPES AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450 degrees. On a large (13-by-18-inch) rimmed baking sheet, toss together onion slices, 2 tablespoons oil, salt and pepper, and spread in an even layer. Roast for 8 to 12 minutes, until the onions turn translucent and the thinnest pieces take on a pale gold color at the edges.
• After 10 minutes, add grapes, seeds and the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to pan with onions, and toss well. Spread in an even layer and nestle sausage into the mixture.
• Roast until sausage has browned, 25 to 30 minutes, flipping sausage and tossing grapes and onions halfway through.
• Transfer sausages to a platter or to individual plates. Add parsley and chives to pan with grapes and onions and gently toss (this warms up and wilts the herbs). Use a slotted spoon to transfer grapes and onions to plates with the sausages.
• Add vinegar to rimmed baking sheet and scrape up any browned bits on the tray. Drizzle pan juices over the grapes and sausages, taste, and sprinkle more salt or vinegar on top, if desired.

ROASTED SAUSAGES AND GRAPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees.
• Parboil the sausages in water to cover for 8 minutes to rid them of excess fat.
• Melt the butter in a large heatproof roasting pan, add the grapes, and toss to coat. Over moderately high heat add the wine. Stir with a wooden spoon for a few minutes until the wine has reduced by half.
• Using tongs, transfer the parboiled sausages to the roasting pan and push them down in the grapes so the sausages will not brown too quickly. Roast in the oven, turning the sausages once, until the grapes are soft and the sausages have browned, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Place the roasting pan on top of the stove over a medium-high heat and add the balsamic vinegar. Scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the roasting pan, and allow the vinegar and juices to reduce until they are thick and syrupy. With a slotted spoon, transfer the sausages and grapes to a serving platter.
• Pour the sauce over the sausages and grapes and serve immediately, accompanied with fresh bread.

CHICKEN BRAISED WITH GRAPES

Steps:

• Pat chicken parts dry. Melt butter in a 4-quart casserole. Brown chicken on both sides, a few pieces at a time, over medium-high heat, removing pieces to a platter as they finish. Season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to medium.
• Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring, a couple of minutes until soft. Stir in sherry vinegar, chicken stock and cardamom. Return chicken to the pot and baste with stock mixture. Place grape bunches in pot, add thyme, cover and reduce heat to very low. Let cook 30 minutes. Chicken juices should run clear when thigh or leg is pierced with the tip of a knife.
• Transfer chicken to a warm serving platter and arrange grape clusters on top and around chicken. Tent with foil to keep warm. Heat pot on high, stir in balsamic vinegar and cook 2 to 3 minutes until sauce is somewhat reduced and thickened. Check seasoning. Discard thyme. Spoon sauce over chicken and grapes, and serve.

ROAST CHICKEN WITH GRAPES

Steps:

Fluff with a fork and toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Cover and keep warm. Meanwhile, put the chicken and onion on a rimmed baking sheet and toss with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, the herbes de Provence, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Arrange the chicken skin-side up and roast until the chicken begins to brown, about 15 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and scatter the grapes on top. Continue roasting until the chicken is golden brown and the grapes are soft, 15 to 20 more minutes. Divide the chicken, onion and grapes among plates and drizzle with the pan drippings. Serve with the couscous.
