SECRET RECIPE CHICKEN FRICASSEE

Steps:

• Mix flour and margarine together in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the flour and margarine form a paste.
• Whisk cream into flour mixture about 1/2 cup at a time until smoothly combined; whisk in chicken broth and parsley. Bring sauce to a simmer, whisking constantly until thickened.
• Whisk egg yolks and lemon juice together in a bowl.
• Whisk egg yolk mixture slowly into cream mixture, about 1 tablespoon at a time, until the sauce barely comes to a simmer and coats the back of a spoon. Do not boil.
• If thicker sauce is desired, whisk cornstarch and 1/4 cup of sauce in a small bowl; stir cornstarch mixture back into sauce until thickened, about 2 minutes.
• Stir chicken breast pieces into sauce until chicken is heated through.

FRICASSEE OF CHANTERELLES

Steps:

• Melt 3 tablespoons butter with 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly golden, 4-5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in wine and cook until liquid is reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Add remaining 3 tablespoons butter, remaining 1 tablespoon oil, and mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are lightly golden, about 5 minutes. Add cream and nutmeg and cook until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in 1 teaspoon oregano. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Toss in a skillet with cooked pasta, or serve over smashed boiled potatoes. Garnish with more oregano.

FRICASSEE OF SQUID AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Be sure that the plastic-like pen, and all bones and cartilage, have been removed from the body of the squid and that the beak has been removed from the tentacles. If the black surface skin has not already been removed, pull it off and discard. Rinse the squid body and tentacles well under cool water and cut them into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Set aside.
• Heat the olive oil in a saucepan until hot but not smoking. Add the onion and saute it about 2 minutes. Add the potatoes, cover, and reduce the heat to low. Cook about 15 minutes, until the potatoes are tender. The recipe can be prepared to this point a few hours before serving and set aside in the saucepan.
• About 10 to 15 minutes before serving, reheat the potatoes and add the squid, garlic, herbes de Provence, tomatoes, olives, wine and salt. Cover, bring to a boil, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, removing the lid long enough to stir the mixture occasionally, just until the squid are tender when pierced with a fork.
• Transfer the contents of the saucepan to a serving dish, sprinkle with the parsley and serve.

COLETTE'S FRICASSE POTATOES

Steps:

• Soak potatoe slices in water. Slice pork fat and heat on low in a heavy, large skillet, until reduced to crispy slices. Leave rendered fat in pan, but remove crispy slices. Add onions to pan and sauté on medium-high heat until just transluscent. Add potatoes and coat in fat. Add a small amount of water, salt, pepper and sugar. Add more water until it almost covers the potatoes - it should NEVER cover the potoates, but almost. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to simmer until just cooked through but not mushy, stirring occasionally until much of the water has evaporated.

CHICKEN FRICASSéE WITH NEW POTATOES & ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large frying pan, then fry the bacon for 5 mins on a medium heat until golden. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add the chicken to the pan, then lightly fry for 4-5 mins to brown on both sides (you may need to brown the chicken in two batches if your pan is not large enough).
• Meanwhile, cook the potatoes in a pan of salted boiling water for 10 mins or until tender. Cook the asparagus in a steamer over the potatoes for 6-8 mins or microwave in a covered dish with 2 tbsp water for 4-5 mins.
• Pour the cider over the chicken, bring to the boil then reduce heat. Put the bacon back in the pan and simmer for 10-15 mins until the chicken is cooked through. Stir in the cornflour paste until lightly thickened, then add the Soya Dream and season. Stir in the drained vegetables and sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.

POLLO EN FRICASé

Steps:

• Pat chicken dry, then place in a lidded, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven.
• In a medium bowl, combine tomato sauce, onion, garlic, vinegar, olive oil, paprika, cumin, bay leaves, salt and pepper; whisk together with a fork. Pour sauce over chicken.
• Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low, cover and simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Pour in white wine, then add olives, capers and potato slices, stirring well to incorporate. Bring back to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer for 30 to 40 minutes, until potatoes are tender but not falling apart. If your sauce is thinner than you'd like, transfer chicken and potatoes to a serving bowl, then simmer sauce for 5 to 7 more minutes over medium-high until thickened.
• Serve over white rice with plenty of sauce, and garnish with cilantro.

FRICASé DE POLLO

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a medium heavy bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season the chicken on both sides with 2 teaspoons salt and a few cracks of pepper. Add the chicken skin-side down and cook in two batches until golden brown and crispy and the skin releases easily from the skillet, 5 to 8 minutes. Flip the chicken over and cook 3 minutes. Remove to a plate, leaving the fat in the pot.
• Add the onion, bell pepper, 1 teaspoon salt and a few cracks of pepper and cook, stirring occasionally and scraping the bottom of the pot with a wooden, until the onions soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and Sazón seasoning and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the vino seco and scrape up any browned bits with the wooden spoon to deglaze the pot.
• Stir in the tomato sauce, lime and orange juices, olives, potatoes and bay leaf. Nestle the chicken in the liquid and bring to a boil, 1 to 2 minutes. Cover the pan and simmer over low heat until the chicken is almost covered with the liquid, 15 minutes. Stir, pushing the chicken further into the liquid and simmer another 15 minutes. Remove the lid and cook uncovered until the liquid has reduced slightly and the potatoes are fork tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Discard the bay leaf and serve over white rice if desired.
