Pan Seared Chicken With Blueberry Sauce Food

ROSEMARY CHICKEN WITH BLUEBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix together the rosemary, basil, and pepper in a small bowl. Pour the olive oil into a shallow dish.
• Pound the chicken breast to about 3/4-inch thickness. Rub each breast with adobo sauce. Sprinkle both sides of each breast with the rosemary mixture and lie them in the olive oil; allow to marinate about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare the sauce. Heat the pomegranate juice in a saucepan over medium heat. Once the juice is warm, stir in the blueberry preserves, blueberries, honey, mustard, and mustard seeds. Cook and stir until the sauce thickens, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken in the melted butter until no longer pink inside, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Serve with sauce on the side.

PAN-SEARED DUCK BREAST WITH BLUEBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). In a small bowl mix together the salt, ground black pepper, thyme, and rosemary; set aside. This will be your spice blend for seasoning the roasted potatoes and the duck breasts.
• Place cubed potatoes into a 9x13 inch baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle 2 tablespoons of your spice blend over the top of the potatoes. Toss the potatoes in the pan until they are evenly coated with oil and seasonings. Spread into a single layer across the bottom of the baking dish and bake for 35 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven.
• While the potatoes are roasting, stir together the blueberries, water, apple juice, sugar, and jalapeno in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low, and simmer until the mixture has reduced to the consistency of syrup, about 10 minutes.
• Cook the pancetta in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove the pancetta to drain on a paper towel, leaving the drippings in the skillet. Add the shallots and the mushrooms to the hot skillet; stir and cook them until soft and just beginning to brown. Remove the shallots and mushrooms and set aside. Increase heat to medium-high and place the bok choy in the hot skillet. Stir and cook the bok choy until the leaves are wilted and the white stalk pieces are tender, about 5 minutes. Return the shallots, mushrooms, and pancetta to the skillet, turn off the heat and set aside.
• Rinse the duck breast halves and pat dry. Rub the remaining spice blend onto both sides of the duck breasts. Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat, when the pan is hot put in the vegetable oil and butter. Immediately place the duck breasts in the pan, skin and fat side down. Do not move the duck breasts until the skin is deep brown, about 5 minutes. Turn the breasts and cook until the internal temperature of the thickest part is 160 degrees F (71 degrees C) for well done. Remove the duck from the pan and place on a plate, covered with foil to rest for 5 minutes. While the duck is resting, place the skillet with the bok choy mixture onto a burner over medium heat to warm through.
• Slice each duck breast diagonally into 1/2 inch strips. Divide the bok choy mixture among four plates and drizzle each serving with 1/2 tablespoon of aged balsamic vinegar. Arrange the sliced duck breasts on top of the bok choy mixture; ladle on blueberry sauce. Serve with oven-roasted potatoes on the side.

SEARED RED FISH WITH BLUEBERRY BBQ SAUCE

Steps:

• For the sauce: In a sauce pan over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the onions and garlic and saute until tender. Add the chili powder, coriander, cumin, dry mustard and cayenne, and saute for 2 minutes while stirring to toast the spices. Deglaze the pan with the vinegar and wine. Whisk in the ketchup and bring the sauce to a boil and add half of the blueberries. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the sauce for 30 minutes, stirring regularly to avoid burning.
• Puree the sauce with an immersion blender, and then add the remaining blueberries. Simmer for another 5 minutes and keep warm for plating.
• For the cornbread cakes: In a mixing bowl combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, salt and baking soda, and stir to combine. In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, butter and egg, and whisk. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. Rest the batter for 30 minutes.
• On a skillet set over medium-high heat, heat some oil and pour silver-dollar-size portions of the batter on the skillet. Allow the cakes to cook until golden brown on the first side, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook to golden brown on the second side, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the skillet to a paper-towel-lined pate to absorb any grease.
• For the carrots: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F with a large saute pan or a baking sheet in it.
• In a bowl, toss the carrots with the oil, salt and pepper. Remove the hot pan from the oven and spread the carrots onto the pan. The carrots should sizzle when they hit the pan. Quickly place the pan back in the oven and cook until the carrots are tender, about 15 minutes.
• For plating: Heat a skillet to high heat. Sprinkle the red fish fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.
• Heat some grape seed oil on the skillet until it just begins to smoke. Lay the fillets on the skillet, skin-side down, and cook until the skin is golden brown and releases from the skillet. Do not over crowd the pan, cook the fish in batches.
• In a saute pan melt the butter and toss the blanched asparagus and roasted carrots until hot. Season with salt and pepper.
• Spoon 1 to 2 ounces of the BBQ sauce onto one side of the plate and drag the sauce to the other side of the plate. Layer 3 cornbread cakes going in the opposite direction of the sauce. Lay 3 pieces of fish over the cakes and then lean 4 pieces of asparagus and 4 pieces of carrots on one side of the fish. Drizzle the fish with another 1 ounce of the BBQ sauce, and then serve.
