CITRUS-MARINATED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place the chicken in a nonmetallic dish.
• Mix the remaining ingredients together in a bowl and season to taste.
• Pour over the chicken and turn to coat well, then cover and let marinate at room temperature for at least 1 hour.
• If possible, let marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
• Preheat the broiler to medium.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels.
• Place the chicken on a broiler rack and cook under the hot broiler for 20-25 minutes, turning once, until the chicken is tender and the juices run clear when a skewer is inserted into the thickest part of the meat.
• Brush with the marinade occasionally, but not for the last few minutes of the cooking time.
• Garnish with cilantro springs.

CITRUSY BRISKET WITH SPRING LETTUCES

Steps:

• Season the brisket all over with salt and pepper, then rub the meat with 2 teaspoons grated garlic, thyme and rosemary. Place brisket in a large bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
• When you are ready to cook the brisket, heat the oven to 325 degrees.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a 6 1/2-quart Dutch oven over medium-high. Sear the brisket in the oil until browned on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer meat to a plate.
• Add remaining 4 tablespoons oil and onions to pot, and sauté until lightly browned on the edges and very tender, about 8 minutes. Return brisket and any juices to the pot with the onions.
• Place lemon and orange zests in a small bowl and reserve. Measure out 2 tablespoons lemon juice and reserve for the salad dressing. Pour remaining lemon juice, orange juice and wine over the brisket, then add enough water to come halfway up the sides of the meat (about 1 cup). Bring liquid to a simmer over high heat.
• Cover pot, transfer to the oven, and cook for 1 1/2 hours. Turn the meat over in the pot and stir in remaining 2 teaspoons garlic. Cover pot and continue to cook until the meat shreds easily with a fork, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours longer.
• Uncover pot, stir in the reserved lemon and orange zests, and continue to cook, uncovered, 15 minutes more.
• Just before serving, prepare the salad: In a large bowl, whisk together reserved 2 tablespoons lemon juice, garlic and salt. Let it sit for 1 minute, then whisk in oil. Toss with greens, endive, radicchio and herbs. Taste and add more salt or olive oil, if needed.
• Slice meat and serve, with pan juices spooned over and some of the salad piled on top. Serve the rest of the salad in a bowl on the side.
