Tian Of Roast Potatoes And Chinese Mustard Greens Food

TIAN

Steps:

• In a pot, boil 2 inches of water for blanching tomatoes. Place an 8- or 9-inch cast-iron skillet on a burner over low heat, and add butter to melt.
• Peel the potatoes, and slice on a Japanese mandoline into 1/4-inch-thick disks, then arrange in a single layer circle covering the bottom of the cast-iron skillet with its melted butter, keeping the skillet on the burner and leaving the heat on while you start to build the tian.
• Add a second layer of potato slices, and season with salt and pepper, add a drizzle of olive oil and cover with a lid to slightly steam while you slice the yellow onion.
• Peel the onion, then slice into even 1/4-inch or thinner rounds. The Japanese mandoline is sometimes too narrow to use for this, so you may have to use a sharp knife and do it manually.
• Layer abundantly half the onion rings evenly around the pan on top of the steamed potatoes, season with salt and pepper and a drizzle of olive oil, and recover the pan with a lid while you slice the zucchini.
• Slice the zucchini into 1/4-inch-thick rounds, and layer half of them in concentric, just-overlapping shingled circles over the onions to create a neat layer. Season with salt and pepper, drizzle with oil and recover with the lid while you blanch the tomatoes.
• Season the now-boiling water with a few good pinches of salt, and drop the tomatoes into the boiling water. As soon as their skins split - about 30 seconds - retrieve the tomatoes and run under cold water to quickly cool enough to handle; set aside.
• Build another ring of potato around the tian on top of the now-steaming zucchini, this time just a single layer. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper and recover with the lid to steam a bit while you slip the skins off the tomatoes.
• Layer the other half of the onions as before, season and drizzle and replace the lid as before, while you split the tomatoes in half horizontally with a small sharp knife.
• Add final layer of zucchini to the tian, and season with salt and pepper and a drizzle of olive oil. Cover, and let steam while you heat the oven to 375 degrees.
• Place the tomatoes around the top of the tian evenly, and sprinkle the bread crumbs over the top evenly. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper and place in the oven to bake for 30 minutes. (If your skillet threatens to bubble over, slip a sheet pan underneath to prevent any burned wreckage in the bottom of your oven.)
• With a spoon, baste, and drizzle the pan juices that accumulate in the tian over the top when you remove it from the oven at the end. Allow the tian to cool, settle and kind of meld for an hour before eating.

MUSTARD-ROASTED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
• Cut the potatoes in halves or quarters, depending on their size, and place them on a sheet pan. Remove the ends of the onions, peel them, and cut them in half. Slice them crosswise in 1/4-inch-thick slices to make half-rounds. Toss the onions and potatoes together on the sheet pan. Add the olive oil, mustard, 2 teaspoons salt, and the pepper and toss them together. Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour, until the potatoes are lightly browned on the outside and tender on the inside. Toss the potatoes from time to time with a metal spatula so they brown evenly.
• Serve hot sprinkled with chopped parsley and a little extra salt.

• Place in a pre-heated oven and bake for 45 minutes to an hour. You want the potatoes to be crisp and lightly browned.
• Optional: top with grated parmesan cheese during the last 10 mins of baking, or lightly buttered bread crumbs for an additional flavor burst.

WILTED MUSTARD GREENS

Steps:

• Cook mustard greens in 2 batches in a 6 to 8 quart pot of boiling salted water, stirring to submerge, until wilted and tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl of cold water to stop cooking. Drain greens in a colander, pressing to squeeze out excess moisture, then coarsely chop.
• Cook garlic in butter in a 4 to 6 quart heavy pot over moderately low heat, stirring until softened, about 2 minutes. Add boiled greens, salt and pepper and cook, covered stirring occasionally until heated through, about 5 minutes.

• Toss potatoes, 2 Tbsp. oil, 1 tsp. salt, and remaining 1/2 tsp. pepper on a rimmed baking sheet. Arrange chicken legs (skin side up) in the center of pan; discard excess marinade. Arrange potatoes around outside of pan in an even layer, then turn cut side down (this will help them brown better). Arrange rosemary over potatoes. Roast until chicken and potatoes are golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of chicken registers 165°F, 30-40 minutes.
• Whisk garlic, lemon juice, whole grain mustard, and remaining 1/3 cup oil, 2 tsp. honey, and 1/2 tsp. salt in a small bowl. Divide chicken and potatoes among plates, then arrange frisée and parsley alongside potatoes. Drizzle dressing over chicken, potatoes, and frisée.

MUSTARD ROAST POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 6. Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, then add the potatoes, reduce the heat and simmer for 8-10 mins. Drain, then leave the potatoes to steam-dry in the colander for a few minutes. Shake to slightly roughen the edges.
• Meanwhile, drizzle the oil over a large baking tray and put in the oven to heat up for 10 mins. Once hot, tip the potatoes onto the tray with the butter and garlic. Sift over the English mustard powder and toss everything together so the potatoes are evenly coated. Roast for 45 mins, turning halfway through cooking for really crispy potatoes. Season with a pinch of sea salt flakes to serve.
