CHICKEN ZINGARELLA

Steps:

• In a large skillet, saute mushrooms, onions, and garlic in olive oil until onions are translucent and mushrooms golden brown.
• Add chicken and cook until no longer pink.
• Add jar sauce, wine and brown sugar; simer 15 minutes on medium-low heat.
• Drain roasted peppers of oil and slice into strips; add to sauce and simmer 5 minutes more.
• Serve immediately over pasta of your choice.

VEAL MARSALA

Steps:

• Sprinkle the veal with salt and pepper. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of oil in a heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 4 veal cutlets and cook until golden brown, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer the veal to a plate. Add another tablespoon of butter and oil, if necessary. Repeat with the remaining 4 cutlets. Set the cutlets aside.
• Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Add the shallot and garlic. Saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add a tablespoon of the olive oil, if necessary. Add the mushrooms and saute until tender and the juices evaporate, about 3 minutes. Season with salt. Add the Marsala. Simmer until the Marsala reduces by half, about 2 minutes. Add the broth and the rosemary leaves. Simmer until reduced by half, about 4 minutes. Return the veal to the skillet. Pour in all of the pan juices. Cook just until heated through, turning to coat, about 1 minute. Stir the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter into the sauce. Season the sauce with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Using tongs, transfer the veal to plates. Spoon the sauce over the veal and serve.

TARRAGON CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat the garlic oil in a frying pan or Dutch oven that has a lid and in which the chicken breasts will fit pretty snugly. Add the scallions, stir, then sprinkle in the freeze-dried tarragon, stir again and cook them in the garlic oil for a minute, stirring some more as they cook.
• Put the chicken fillets into the pan, curved side down, and cook for 5 minutes, watching the scallions don't burn. If they look like they're beginning to, scrape them from the pan and let them sit on the chicken pieces.
• Turn over the breasts, and add the vermouth (or white wine). Let the vermouth bubble up, then add the salt. Put the lid on, turn the heat down low and leave it to simmer gently for 10 minutes. Check the chicken is cooked through by making a small cut into the thickest part and ensuring the juices run clear - if not, simmer for a few minutes longer and check again.
• Remove the chicken breasts to warmed plates. Bring the remaining liquid to a boil, add the cream and stir well, then sprinkle in the fresh tarragon, stir again and give a good grind of white pepper.
• Pour the sauce over the chicken breasts, and give a final scattering of tarragon to serve.

VEAL ZINGARA

Steps:

• Cut the bones out of the veal and trim fat, cut into 2" chunks. Heat the shortening in a large skillet. Dredge meat in flour. Drop garlic into the skillet and begin browning some of the meat. Season with salt and pepper as it browns. Remove brown meat to toweling. Saute mushrooms in same skillet until tender and drain on paper towel. Without cleaning skillet, add the water and bouillon cubes. Add tomato paste and stir until smooth, simmering slowly. Stir in worcestershire sauce, oregano, hot sauce, saffron, and spices. Cut the almonds in half and stir into the sauce. Put some pieces of veal in the bottom of a 4 quart casserole and build alternate layers of meat, mushrooms, sauce, onions and potatoes. Cover and bake in slow oven (300*) for 1 3/4 hours. About 20 minutes before serving, add frozen peas in clusters here and there, and return to oven.
