Seasoned salt and pepper
4 tbls tarragon vinegar
4 tbls olive oil
2 cloves garlic
2/3 c dry sherry

BEGGAR'S CHICKEN
Back in the old day's the Oriental people used to wrap the chook in
lotus leaves, then in clay, then throw it into a hot fire to cook. Be
sure to have a hammer ready so you can eat the sucker!!!
Ingredients:
------------
1.5kg (3lb) chook
3 shallots
2.5cm (1") piece green ginger (the fresh stuff)
1 tsp sugar
3 tblsp soy sauce
2 tblsp dry sherry
1 tblsp water
1/4 tsp five spice powder
2 tblsp soy sauce, extra
2 tblsp oil
extra oil
Clay Dough:
-----------
1kg (2lbs) cooking salt
4 cups plain flour
1 1/2 cups water (more or less)
Put flour and salt in a bowl, mix well, gradually add water, mixing to a
firm dough. Use your hands to mix. More water may be needed, don't
have dough too soft, it will be too hard to handle.
Place two very large sheets of aluminium foil on a flat surface, brush
top sheet well with extra oil. Wack the chook onto the foil. In a bowl
put roughly chopped shallots, sugar, peeled and sliced ginger, soy
sauce, sherry, water and five spice powder; mix well. Rub the chook all
over with extra soy sauce, then rub with the 2 tablesps of oil, rub well
into the skin. Pull skin at neck end down under the chook and tuck the
wing tips under as well to hold the neck skin in place. Carefully (the
chook will feel like a greased pig at this stage!!) pour soy sauce
mixture into the cavity, (hold the chook up a bit so none runs out).
Secure the bum end with a small skewer (be careful it doesn't rip the
foil). Wrap the foil around the chook, securing like a parcel.
Roll out the dough to about 1cm (1/2") thickness so it will completely
cover the chook, fold dough over the bird, press edges together, press
ends together so the chook is completely encased with no holes anywhere.
Place chook into lightly oiled baking dish, wet your fingers and smooth
out all joins, making sure there are no holes in the dough (the steam
will get out otherwise)
Bake in a hot (475-550F / 250-260C) oven for 1 hour. Reduce heat to
moderately slow (325-350F / 160-180C) for a further 3 hours. Remove the
end result from the oven (you don't have to worry about dropping it!!!),
break open the dough with the hammmer and remove from around the chook.
Put foil wrapped chook onto a serving dish, carefully remove foil and
hook in. The meat will just fall off the bones so chop-stick will
probably be in order.
Trust me, this is fantastic (especially when your friends see you carry a
hammer to the dining table!!!!)
BOB'S CHICKEN PESTO
Ingredients:
------------
1 lb. boneless chicken, cubed
1 lb. box multi-colored pasta
3 red peppers
2 tomatoes
3 cloves garlic
broccoli (or vegs of your choosing)
olive oil
pesto
fresh curly parsley
salt and pepper
parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions:
-------------
Start water for pasta. In skillet, brown garlic over a low heat in a
generous amount of olive oil. Add chicken - cook over medium heat.
When done, set aside covered to keep hot.
While chicken is cooking, cut red peppers into large strips. Put
peppers under broiler; burn skin on each side. Then, remove from
broiler and put peppers into a small sealed plastic (i.e. ziploc) or
paper bag (to steam themselves). Set aside ~10 minutes; after which,
remove skins, cut into cubes and toss with olive oil.
While peppers are steaming in bag:
- Put pasta into boiling water - add salt to taste.
- Steam vegs (don't overcook, they should remain a bit crunchy).
- Cut up tomatoes into cubes.
When pasta is done, rinse under very hot water (don't want it to cool
off). Add chicken with its oil, mix together. Then mix in vegs, cubed
roasted peppers and tomatoes. Next add pesto, herbs and pepper to
taste, mix. Optional: toss with parmesan cheese.
Serve with warm Italian bread.
Source: _20 Minute Menus_ by Marian Burros.
Marian Burros has added the vegetables to make this a full meal. It is
traditionally served over cucumber strips or bean sprouts. We usually
put it over rice. Also good in Chinese mushi wrappers or flour
tortillas, with Hoisin sauce, if desired.

(Serves 2)

CASSEROLE DE POULET AU RIZ (Chicken and rice casserole)
Ingredients:
------------
2 whole chicken breasts, split in half about 2 lbs. total weight (4 pcs.)
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tblsp butter
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 tsp chopped garlic
1/3 pound fresh mushrooms, left whole if very small, otherwise
sliced or quartered, depending on size
1 bay leaf
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup raw rice
1 cup chicken broth
Instructions:
-------------
1. Do not skin or bone the chicken breasts. Sprinkle the chicken
pieces with salt and pepper.
2. Heat the butter in a skillet and add the chicken pieces, skin side
down. Brown about 5 minutes and turn.
3. Scatter the onion and garlic between the chicken pieces and add the
mushrooms and bay leaf. Cook about 5 minutes.
4. Add the wine and cook until it is almost all evaporated. Add the
rice and broth, taking care that the rice does not rest on top of the
chicken pieces. Cover closely and cook about 20 minutes or until rice
is tender.
Yield: Four servings
Note:
-----
I cook the whole thing in my favorite cast-iron skillet, which has a
lid. You don't really have to worry about undercooking the chicken, so
the dish is done when the rice tastes done. Sometimes I use shallots
instead of onions if I have them, and mabye add a little (fresh)
tarragon or something. Beats frozen pizza.
CHICKEN ADOBO
Ingredients:
------------
1 lb chicken parts, cut into serving pieces
1/2 cup vinegar, white or cider
2 tbsp soy sauce
5 cloves garlic, crushed
salt and pepper
Instructions:
-------------
Combine all ingredients in saucepan. Bring to boil and simmer until
chicken is cooked and tender, about 20 minutes.
Good served with rice and a side of diced tomatoes, sliced scallions,
seasoned with salt and pepper.
CHICKEN ADOBO
(serves 2)
Ingredients:
------------
2 chicken breasts
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup white vinegar
1 cup water
3-4 garlic cloves, crushed
prepared couscous or rice
Instructions:
-------------
I use one chicken breast (boneless or bones-in, it doesn't matter) per
person. In a large pot, mix one part each soy sauce and white vinegar
with two parts water. (For two people, one part = 1/2 cup, adjust for
greater number of servings.) Add crushed garlic cloves to taste (3-4
cloves, more for true garlic hounds).
Bring pot to simmer. Add chicken to pot. Simmer covered for 1 1/2 to 2
hours (until chicken is tender and very dark from the sauce).
Serve chicken over plain couscous (or rice) with sauce poured over both.
CHICKEN ADOBO
Yes, it is, indeed, a Filipino dish. I like to do this the quick and
easy way:
Take some chicken (I usually take about a pound or so of chicken parts,
any part will do) and put it in a good-sized pot. Add to that 2-3
crushed cloves of garlic, 1 sliced onion, 1 crumbled bay leaf, about
5-10 whole peppercorns, two potatoes (cut them any way you want, but not
in the french-fry style), and around 2 tablespoons each soy sauce, white
vinegar and sugar. Mix all ingredients lightly, then put it over low to
medium low heat. Cover and let cook for around 1 hour at the least, the
longer it goes, the more flavoursome it is.
Serve over rice. Since I just cook for myself, this is usually good for
around 3-4 meals, depending upon how hungry I am. This should serve
around 2-4 people, comfortably.
CHICKEN AND DUTCH DUMPLINGS
Ingredients:
------------
3 3/4 cups flour
2-3 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
4 tbs butter
1/2 cup water
4 eggs
2-3 gallons chicken broth
chicken
Instructions:
-------------
Mix flour and salt together well. Cut in butter. Add water and beaten
eggs, and mix until dough forms a ball. Divide dough if necessary and
roll out on a well floured board. This should be rolled out *very*
thin, ~1-1.5 mm thick. Cut the dough into 2-3 inch square pieces and
set aside for the moment. Make sure the dough is not overlapping when
you set it aside...it CANNOT be stacked.
In the meantime (at the beginning) prepare the chicken broth and season
to taste. When all the dumplings are cut, quickly drop them one by one
into the boiling broth. Allow to cook for 1/2 an hour. If the
dumplings are too thick, they will come out tough. It's better to err
on the thin side when rolling them out. This dish can be served with
fried chicken, or with the chicken chopped up in the broth. Makes ~8-10
servings.
CHICKEN AND OYSTER SAUCE PIQUANT
Ingredients:
------------
1/3 cup plus 2 tblsp flour
6 tblsp oil
3 large onions, finely chopped
1/2 cup chopped ham
8 to 10 chicken breasts, skinned
1 6-ounce can tomato paste
1/2 can water
3 cloves garlic
1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
1/4 cup parsley, finely chopped
1/2 bunch green onions, thinly sliced
1 3-ounce bottle pitted green olives, finely chopped
1 small jar sour pickles, finely chopped
1/2 rind of a lemon, grated
2 6-ounce cans slice mushrooms with liquid
1/2 tsp red pepper
salt and black pepper to taste
1 pint oysters
1 cup white wine
Instructions:
-------------
Brown flour in oil very slowly, until dark brown. This takes about 30
minutes. Add chopped onions and cook slowly until tender. Then add
chopped ham and cook a few minutes. Add raw chicken breasts and stir
thoroughly to coat each piece. Add tomato paste and water. Simmer for
30 to 45 minutes.
Add olives, sour pickle, lemon rind and cook for a few minutes, turning
chicken to coat. Add mushrooms with the liquid. Season with salt and
peppers. Simmer (over low heat) for 4 to 5 hours. Stir occasionally to
keep chicken from sticking.
About 30 minutes before serving, add 1/2 cup wine and bring to a simmer.
Add oysters with juice and cook until oysters curl at the edges. Just
before serving, add anoth4er 1/2 cup of wine. Serve chicken on a bed of
rice with sauce poured over.

CHICKEN AND SAUSAGE JAMBALAYA
1 pkg chicken thighs (6 count)
1/2 pkg Hilshire Farms Polish Kielbasa (or other smoked sausage), sliced
1/2 bell pepper, chopped
5 stalks celery, chopped
3 large white onions, chopped (DO NOT use a food processor)
2 cloves garlic, chopped fine
1/4 cup peanut oil
2 cups white rice (regular white rice. NOT Minute rice!!!)
2 1/2 cups water
1 12oz beer (Budweiser works fine)
flour to coat chicken
1 1/2 tsp Rosemary
1 tsp Thyme
A handful of chopped parsley (hard to put too much)
Salt to taste
Lots of cayenne pepper
Instructions:
-------------
Start off by washing the chicken and placing it skin side down on a
plate (you can remove the skin if you want). Now, depending on how
spicy you want it, coat the chicken with Cayenne pepper until very red
(I use a LOT of Cayenne in mine). Don't worry about getting it too hot,
since this is the majority of the pepper you are going to add and it
will cook into the rest of the dish. Turn the chicken pieces over and
lightly coat the skin side. Let sit for 15 minutes or so to soak it all up.
Heat the oil in the bottom of a large heavy cast iron or aluminum pot
(don't use thin aluminum or stainless steel since the rice will tend to
stick and burn if you're not really careful). Place the flour in a
paper bag (season the flour lightly with salt, cayenne pepper, black
pepper, garlic powder, etc). Place a couple of pieces of chicken at a
time into the bag and shake to coat.
Fry the chicken in the oil until golden brown. Don't worry about
cooking it all the way through just yet. Remove the chicken. Now place
the onions, celery, garlic and bellpepper into the pot along with a bit
more oil if necessary) and saute them until the onions are transparent,
scraping the bottom of the pot often. Add the rosemary, thyme and
parsley and cook for a minute or so.
Place the sausage slices, chicken, and a little water into the pot and
mix well with the vegetables. Turn heat low, cover and simmer for about
30 minutes (until the chicken is tender). Stir the mixture frequently,
always scraping the bottom to keep things from burning (break the
chicken up a bit with the spatula as it cooks. It should break up
naturally as the dish cooks, but this just helps things a little).
When the chicken is cooked, add the washed rice and stir it into
everything for a couple of minutes. Pour the warm beer and the water in
and stir things for another minute or so. Taste it at this point and
adjust the salt if necessary. Now, keeping the heat low, cover the pot
and cook until the rice is tender (anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour).
Stir the mixture every now and then, scraping the bottom of the pot.

CHICKEN BIG MAMOU ON PASTA
(Makes 6 servings)
The town of Mamou, in southeastern Louisiana, claims itself as the
"tomato capitol of the world." So dishes with the term "Mamou" usually
mean that there are tomatoes in the dish. Calling the dish "... Little
Mamou" means just a few tomatoes; "... Big Mamou" means lots of
tomatoes. So here is a pasta dish that is Cajun in inspiration.
Ingredients:
------------
6 quarts hot water
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3 Tbsp salt
1 1/2 pounds fresh spaghetti, or 1 pound dry
1 pound unsalted butter
4 Tbsp unsalted butter
1 cup very finely chopped onions
4 cloves garlic, medium-size, peeled
2 tsp minced garlic
3 1/4 cups rich chicken stock (in all)
2 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
1 Tbsp Tabasco sauce
2 16-ounce cans tomato sauce
2 Tbsp sugar
2 cups very finely chopped green onions (in all)
2 pounds boneless chicken (light and dark meat), cut into 1/2" cubes
Seasoning mix no. 1 (for sauce, see below)
Seasoning mix no. 2 (for chicken, see below)
Directions:
-----------
Place the hot water, oil and salt in a large pot over high heat; cover
and bring to a boil. When water reaches a rolling boil, add small
amounts of spaghetti at a time to the pot, breaking up oil patches as
you drop spaghetti in. Return to boiling and cook to al dente stage
(about 4 minutes if fresh, 7 minutes if dry); do not over cook. During
this cooking time, use a wooden or spaghetti spoon to lift spaghetti out
of the water by spoonfuls and shake strands back into the boiling water.
(It may be an old wives' tale, but this procedure seems to enhance the
spaghetti's texture.)
Then immediately drain spaghetti into a colander; stop cooking process
by running cold water over strands. (If you used dry spaghetti, first
rinse with hot water to wash off starch.) After the pasta has cooled
thoroughly, about 2 to 3 minutes, pour a liberal amount of vegetable oil
in your hands and toss spaghetti. Set aside still in the colander.
Meanwhile, thoroughly combine the seasoning mix ingredients in a small
bowl and set aside.
In a 4-quart saucepan, combine 1 1/2 sticks of the butter, the onions
and garlic cloves; saute over medium heat 5 minutes, stirring
occasionally. Add the minced garlic and the seasoning mix no. 1;
continue cooking over medium heat until onions are dark brown but not
burned [not unlike you cook onions for Indian curry dishes], about 8 to
10 minutes, stirring often. Add 2 1/2 cups of the stock, the
worcestershire and Tabasco; bring to a fast simmer and cook, about 8
minutes, stirring often. Stir in the tomato sauce and bring mixture to
a boil. Then stir in the sugar and 1 cup of the green onions; gently
simmer uncovered about 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Heat the serving plates in a 250 deg F. oven.
Combine the ingredients of the chicken seasoning mix no. 2 in a small
bowl; mix well. Sprinkle over the chicken, rubbing it in with your
hands. In a large skillet melt 1 1/2 sticks of the butter over medium
heat. Add the remaining 1 cup green onions and saute over high heat
about 3 minutes. Add the chicken and continue cooking 10 minutes,
stirring frequently. When the tomato sauce has simmered about 40
minutes, stir in the chicken mixture and heat through.
To finish the dish, FOR EACH SERVING melt 2 Tbsp butter in a large
skillet over medium heat. Add one-sixth of the cooked spaghetti (a bit
less than a 2-cup measure); heat spaghetti 1 minute, stirring
constantly. Add 1 1/4 cups chicken and sauce and 2 Tbsp of remaining
stock; heat thoroughly, stirring frequently. Remove from heat. Roll
spaghetti on a large fork and lift onto a heated serving platter.
Repeat process for remaining servings.
Seasoning mix no. 1 (for sauce)
-------------------------------
2 tsp dried thyme leaves
1 1/4 tsp ground red pepper (preferably cayenne)
1 tsp white pepper
3/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp dried sweet basil leaves
Combine all ingredients and set aside
Seasoning mix no. 2 (for chicken)
----------------------------------
1 1/2 Tbsp salt (reduce this if desired)
1 1/2 tsp white pepper
1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 1/4 tsp ground red pepper (preferably cayenne)
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp ground cumin (optional)
1/2 tsp dried sweet basil leaves
Combine all ingredients and set aside
CHICKEN CACCIATORE

------------
1-2 lbs chicken
3 tbsp flour
2 tbsp olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped coarse
1 clove of garlic, minced
1 cup mushroom caps, quartered
2 tbsp tomato paste
1/2 cup white wine
1 14 fl oz can of tomatoes, crushed
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
3/4 tsp dried tarragon
1 tbsp paprika

Instructions:
-------------
Depending on how fancy you want to be, the chicken can be breasts cut to
bite size pieces, leftover chicken, whole thighs, etc. Remove any skin
if fresh chicken is used.
Toss the chicken meat with the flour to coat. Shake off any excess
flour and then saute the chicken over medium heat in the olive oil until
nicely browned. Remove the meat from the pan and set aside.
Add the onion, garlic and mushroom caps and saute until the onion is
translucent.
Add the tomato paste and continue to cook until the paste starts to get
browned a little.
Deglaze with the wine, stirring well to dilute the tomato paste.
Add the canned tomatoes, the spices and seasonings and the cooked
chicken. Cover, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes or longer, adding
chicken stock if necessary to keep from drying out.
Serve with boiled pasta.

The original recipe I had for this dish was Turkari Molee a lamb dish,
but as we like chicken I have substituted chicken for the lamb and it is
wonderful. If you like lamb curries try it with lamb as well.

CHICKEN KIEV
Ingredients:
------------
boned, skinned, defatted/sinued chicken breast halves number of 1/2
breasts per person dependent upon basic glutony factor.
salt
pepper - freshly ground
scallions - thinly sliced
egg(s) - light beaten with (for a lot of Kievs use 2)
1(2) tbs milk
bread crumbs - I often use commercial, season Italian
flour
butter - cold and cut into pieces about the size and
shape of your little finger.
Instructions:
-------------
Preparation procedure for each breast:
--------------------------------------
Between two 1 gal. heavy-duty freezer bags pound breast until quite
thin with a abalone mallet or other flat, heavy object. Careful, do not
break holes in the middle of the chicken. Work slow and carefully!
When flattened, sprinkle with salt, pepper and about a tblsp of
scallions. Place scallions near the center of the breast.
Place a finger of the butter in the middle of the breast and CAREFULLY
fold the chicken over the butter and roll up. Keep in mind that you are
trying to create a watertight package for the butter. Variant: Place
butter at one end of breast and roll-up breast over the butter, folding
the ends in during the process. Like a butcher wrapping meat.
Coat the breast in the flour, dip in the egg mix and finally coat with
bread crumbs. This is part of the sealing process so make sure all the
little nooks and crannies are covered.
Final cooking:
--------------
Dependent upon size of deep fryer place 2 to 3 breasts in hot oil and
cook until slightly darker than a brown paper shopping bag. Remove from
fryer and cook for about 15 minutes in a 350 oven.

CHICKEN MASALA (Mangalorean style)
1 kg chicken
4 tbsp curd (plain yoghurt)
1 tsp turmeric powder
1 cup onion, finely chopped
1 tsp ginger powder
1 tsp garlic powder
2 tsps chilli powder
2 tsps coriander powder
1/4 cup oil
salt to taste
Instructions:
-------------
Cut chicken into pieces and marinate with curd and salt and keep aside
for an hour.
Heat oil and fry turmeric. Add onion and fry till light brown. Then
add ginger and garlic mixed in a tbsp of water and stir well. Then add
chilli and coriander mixed in 4 tbsps water. Stir well till oil comes
out clear. Now add the chicken and sufficient water to make good sauce.
Cover and let cook on gentile fire till chicken is done.
Notes:
------
1) Cooking is about a half hour to 45 minutes, depending on size of
chicken pieces and level of heat.
2) All of the curd (we used plain yoghurt) curdled (no pun, I think this
is how you would describe it). So, we made another batch of sauce,
using all of the ingredients except the chicken.
3) This was not hot, just spicy enough. You could probably spice it up
with more chilli powder and more garlic, or fresh garlic instead of
powdered.

CHICKEN PAPRIKA
Ingredients:
------------
4 lbs chicken pieces
1 large onion finely chopped
2 to 3 tblsp sweet hungarian paprika
4 tblsp butter or margarine
salt and pepper to taste
sour cream (the new fat free type works well too)
flour
Instructions:
-------------
Melt butter in large fry pan (I use a 4 qt. chicken fryer with a vent
in the lid) and saute onion for a few minutes. Season chicken with salt
and pepper and cook over medium high heat until just golden on both
sides. Sprinkle paprika evenly over chicken. Add enough water to the
pan to come about 1/2 way up the sides of the chicken pieces. Bring to
a boil then cover and turn down to simmer. Leave lid slightly open or
open the lid vent about half way. Simmer for about 2 hours (less if you
use boneless chicken breast).
After the chicken is cooked remove to a platter and cool enough to
handle without burning yourself. Meanwhile strain the juices and return
to the pan. In a medium bowl have about 1/3 cup flour (you may need to
add a little more). Whisk about half of the pan juices into the flour
gradually until mixture is thick and smooth. Return to the remaining
juices in the pan. Turn heat back up to medium and whisk this mixture
until it is very thick and smooth (this is where you may need a little
extra flour). In the same bowl stir about 1/2 cup (more if you like)
sour cream until smooth. Whisk about 1/3 of the gravy into the sour
cream gradually. Return this to the pan and reduce heat to avoid
boiling. By time all of this is done the chicken should be cool enough
to handle. Remove chicken from the bones and cut or tear into bite size
pieces. Return to the pan with the gravy and simmer until heated
through. Adjust seasoning to taste. If there are leftovers this
freezes reasonably well and is even better the next time around.

CHICKEN PASTRY OR B'STILA
From: arielle@taronga.com (Stephanie da Silva)
Ingredients:
------------
1 chicken
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
a tablespoon of mixed herbs or "bouquet garni"
3 large onions, peeled and minced
3 tablespoons oil
1/2 cup butter, margarine or diet margarine, clarified
7 eggs beaten
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped cilantro or parsley
2 cups ground toasted almonds
1 tablespoon cinnamon
12 filo dough sheets
1/4 cup powdered sugar.
salt, fresh black pepper
pinch of saffron
Preparation:
------------
Place chicken in a roasting pan. If you use saffron threads, let them
soak in half a cup of water. Pour on fowl. Sprinkle salt, pepper,
turmeric and mixed herbs on top. Roast chicken in oven at 400 f for 45
minutes to an hour. Cool. Remove skin and all bones. Cube chicken.
Keep giblets, except for the neck, with all the spicy, herbed juice.
Set aside.
In a skillet, saute minced onions in oil. Place in a bowl.
In the same skillet, with a little oil, fry the beaten eggs mixed with
salt and chopped cilantro. Place in another small bowl. Still in the
same oiled skillet, toast almonds until slightly brown and grind them in
a food processor. Set aside.
Clarify the shortening, and everything is ready to be put together now.
On the bottom of the pan used to roast the chicken, after washing and
greasing it, stack 2 sheets of filo dough, letting edges overhang.
Brush on top some of the clarified shortening. At broil, rapidly brown
these 2 sheets. Then add cubed chicken, with all spices and juice.
Spread again 2 more dough sheets with some shortening brushed on.
Broil rapidly. Add soft mixture of eggs with cilantro. Cover with 2
more greased sheets. Broil rapidly. Add almonds mixed with cinnamon
and sugar. Finish with your best-looking greased sheets. Tuck in all
dough and bake 25 to 30 minutes at 400 F until golden grown. Cool
slightly. Sprinkle with remaining powdered sugar, making a decorative
crisscross with cinnamon on top. Serve hot. It can be reheated several
times. It can also be frozen.

CHICKEN RAVIOLI IN PORT MUSTARD CREME SAUCE WITH MANGO GINGER CHUTNEY
From: arielle@taronga.com (Stephanie da Silva)
(serves 4 as a pasta dish before the main meal.)
Pasta
-----
1 cup flour
1 egg
1 tbl water
1 tbl olive oil (gives gummy texture)
Prepare two sheets of pasta rolled out to "6" on the Atlas machine.
You can knead by hand forever or use a food processor on the dough.
Egg wash
--------
1 egg
2 tbl water
Whisk together and brush on one side of each piece of pasta. The egg
wash acts as a glue to hold the ravioli together during cooking.
Filling
-------
6 oz. cooked chicken (Chef Johnson called for smoked)
1/6 cup cream
1/4 cup mango ginger chutney (buy from your grocery store!)
Combine in food processor, or chop chicken finely with knife and mix
together. (Chef Johnson called for some cayenne and more chutney, but I
cut it down to my taste because I thought it was too spicy.)
Preparation:
------------
Prepare ravioli by putting 1-1 1/2 tsp lumps of chicken filling on one
piece of pasta in a 2xN matrix where N is ~10-12. Place other piece of
pasta over this. Egg side of both sheets should be toward the inside.
Cut ravioli with a knife or a ravioli wheel. Seal ravioli with fingers
or by pressing with a fork. Flour well and set aside.
You should make 20-24 ravioli. You will need 16 to serve. Expect a few
to fall apart while cooking.
When sauce is ready, cook ravioli until they rise.
Sauce
-----
1 cup port wine
8 peppercorns, bruised or cracked
1 bay leaf
2 shallots, diced
Reduce over high heat until nearly dry.
1 cup chicken stock
Add and reduce until total volume is about 1/4 cup.
1 cup cream
1 tbl mustard
Add, whisk, and reduce until sauce naps. (Napping means: dip a
spoon in the sauce, wipe the back horizontally with your finger.
If the sauce does not run it is thick enough.)
Strain the sauce and keep warm. (Strained sauces come from
French tradition. You want a smooth pretty sauce with no chunks
of pepper and lumps of shallots.)
I adjusted the proportions in this recipe from Chef Johnson's
original. I used less cream and more port because I like the
greater flavor and color from the port.
Prepare four individual plates. On each plate, pour an equal portion of
the sauce. Makes sure the sauce coats the entire center of the plate but
none of the side. Place four cooked ravioli on the place, and scoop
about 2 tbl of the chutney on the middle of the plate. It should look very
pretty.
What sort of wine would go with this course? I've had it with a
Chardonnay and with a German Riesling. In both cases, the ginger, etc.,
overpowered the wine. Perhaps an Alsatian Gewurztraminer would do
better, or perhaps this course just isn't suited to wine. :-(

From: holland@matt.ksu.ksu.edu (Rich Holland)
Ingredients:
------------
Couple of chicken breasts
1 or 2 white onions
bunch of scallions (green onions, about 12)
sugar
black pepper
soy sauce
garlic powder
onion powder
chicken broth (boullion cube in a coup of water will do).
Directions:
-----------
Put about 1/2 to 1 cup of peanut oil in wok, and put on stove on highest
heat -- keep the heat on HIGH the entire time you cook in the wok. Add
the chicken when the oil is hot and cook until tender and no longer
pink. While cooking, sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper
on chicken. Add about 2 tablespoons of sugar over chicken for sweet
taste. More or less is fine. When the chicken is done browning, add
the chicken broth and vegetables. Cook for about 3 or 4 more minutes,
until broth starts to steam. Squirt soy sauce over the whole thing,
probably about 1/4 to 1/2 cup. Add some cold water with corn starch to
thicken the sauce, how much is up to you, I usually use about 3
tablespoons in 1/3 cup or so. Stir it all together to coat everything
evenly and serve over a bed of rice. Serve HOT.
Note:
-----
The more sugar you add, the sweeter it will taste. I've used up to 1/2
of a cup in the past. You basically want to coat the chicken with sugar
granuals when adding the sugar...This makes a nice sweet sauce, sort of
brownish in color (from the soy sauce)...
CHICKEN STIR FRY
From: steo@dopey.cc.utexas.edu.cc.utexas.edu (Sharon Teo)
For most stir fry recipes (at least the brown coloured gravy), this is the
recipe:
Basic Sauce:
------------
1 tbsp oyster sauce (I use "Lee Kum Kee" brand, from the oriental market)
1 tsp soy sauce
pinch of salt
1/4 tsp sugar (or MSG)
1 tsp corn flour
a little gound white pepper-optional
Method:
-------
Mix all the above ingredients in 1/4 cup water till well blended. Add
in to cooked chicken, vegetables, etc, and stir mixture over the heat
until gravy (sauce) thickens.
Hints:
------
Marinate and stir fry the chicken, by itself, first. Brown some garlic
and/or ginger(according to your recipe), then stir-fry the vegetables.
When vegetables are 3/4 cooked, add in the stir-fried chicken, basic
sauce, and stir-fry till the sauce thickens and is no longer 'cloudy'
looking. Always remember to vary the sauce ingredients according to
taste, and if sauce becomes too thick, add in a little more water, and
if it thicken enough, add more cornflour blended into a little room
temperature water, first.(if the sauce is not thick enough)

------------
800g / 1.75 lb chicken legs (6 legs?)
Butter for basting
The marinade:
-------------
50g / 0.25 cup Yoghurt
40g / 6.75 tsp ginger paste
40g / 6.75 tsp garlic paste
3g / 0.5 tsp white pepper powder
3g / 0.5 tsp cummin powder

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Skewer the marinated tikka at least an inch apart. Keep a tray
underneath to collect the drippings.
Roast in a moderately hot tandoor for 6-7 minutes, basting at least
once. In a charcoal grill, for about the same time, basting once. In a
pre-heated oven, roast the tikka for 8-10 minutes, basting at least
twice. Make sure that the chicken does not touch the sides or the
bottom of the oven.
Note:
-----
A tasty variation of the Murgh Tikka is the Tikka Harra Bharra (Tikka,
green all over), made with the addition of mint and corriander paste
(50g/3 Tbs) to the marinade.
CHICKEN VERSUVIUS
From: Vince McCoy <vmccoy@nuacvm.acns.nwu.edu>
I'm not real good at giving a number of servings for my recipes. It depends
upon the size of the chicken and how hungry you are but I guess this should
serve at least 4 people. It is a very flexible recipe that can be adjusted
for personal taste.
Qty Measurement Preparation Ingredient
--- ----------- ----------- ----------
1 whole cut-up or parts Chicken
1/4 cup Olive Oil
6-8 cloves whole Garlic
6-8 peeled/quartered Potatoes
1 tsp dried Rosemary
freshly ground Black Pepper
1/2 cup White Wine
to taste Salt
Instructions:
-------------
Heat olive oil in oven proof skillet. Add whole garlic cloves, saute
until cloves are a golden brown on all sides. Prepare chicken by
washing throughly and then drying with paper towels. When garlic is
brown remove from pan and set aside. Add chicken pieces to skillet,
cook until skin is brown (chicken will not be done yet). Add quartered
potatoes to the pan, fitting around and between chicken pieces. Return
garlic cloves to the pan also fitting around chicken and potatoes.
Season all with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle rosemary over all.
Add white wine around edges of skillet so as not to wash off spices from
chicken and potatoes. Bring to a simmer on top of the stove, then cover
skillet and place in a 400 degree oven. Cook until chicken is very
tender and potatoes are soft, about 35-40 minutes.
Variations:
-----------
Fresh rosemary may also be used in this dish, increase amount to 1
tablespoon. If using new red potatoes the skin can be left on.

From: pchurch@swell.actrix.gen.nz (Pat Churchill)
Source: Lebanese Cookbook by Dawn, Elaine and Selwa Anthony (Ure Smith)
ISBN 0 7254 0468 X
(Serves 4-6)
Ingredients:
------------
1 large chicken
1 cup ghee or substitute
12 cups water
2 medium onions, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 cinnamon stick
4 tsps salt
3/4 cup chick peas soaked overnight
500g (1lb) coarsely ground meat
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp black pepper
3/4 cup risone pasta or broken up vermicilli
1 cup rice washed and drained
1/2 cup slivered almonds
Instructions:
-------------
In a large saucepan brown the chicken in 1.4 cup of the ghee. Add eight
cups water, half the chopped onions, the garlic, cinnamon stick and 2
tsps of salt. Bring to the boil, cover and continue to cook until the
chicken is tender enough for the meat to fall off the bones.
While the chicken is cooking, drain the soaked chickpeas and place in a
large pot with four cups of water. Bring to the boil, cover and simmer
vigorousy until just tender. Drain and set aside.
In another saucepan lightly brown the almonds in a little ghee. Remove
and set aside.
Add 1/4 cup ghee to the saucepan and heat. Fry the meat in the ghee,
stirring occasionally unti brown all over. Turn down the heat to simmer
and cook until nearly tender - approximately 15 minutes. Stir in the
cinnamon, black pepper and the remainder of the onions and the salt and
continue to cook for a further 25 minutes. Remove from the saucepan and
set aside.
Place the remaining half cup of ghee in the same saucepan and saute the
pasta or vermicelli until golden brown.Add the rice and saute a further
few minutes. Pour five cups of the boiling broth from the cooked
chicken (make up the quantity with water if necessary). Bring to the
boil, add the cooked meat and onion minture and the cooked chick peas.
Stir well. Cover, simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid
absorbed - approximately 20 minutes. Turn off the heat and allow to
stand for 10 minutes. Serve the chickpea and rice mixture on a platter
garnished with the almond and chicken pieces.
Note:
-----
That looks like an awesome amount of ghee. I think I would be using a
lot less and cooking in a non stick pan.

CHINESE-JEWISH CHICKEN
From: erw@keynes.econ.duke.edu (E. Roy Weintraub)
Ingredients:
------------
1 roasting chicken
Master sauce
Instructions:
-------------
In large pot, cover chicken 3/4 to all the way with sauce. Boil chicken
for 20 to 30 minutes, turning the chicken over halfway through the time.
Chicken then is removed from pot -- it will be golden color. Place
chicken, breast down, on roaster in preheated very hot oven, 475-500F.
Roast until done, turning chicken to breast side up halfway through.
Cooking time will vary with weight of chicken. Total cooking time is
around an hour for a 2-3 lb roaster. Chicken is done when juices run
clear.
Chicken will have very crisp skin, and will be very moist inside, from
the two cooking modes. Sometimes, in the summer when I don't want the
oven heat, I put the chicken, cut into two split halves, on the grill
instead of the oven. Carve as a roast chicken, and use plum sauce as a
dip.
(We usually serve this chicken with rice and stir fried broccoli.)
Master sauce:
-------------
equal parts water and soy sauce
with garlic, ginger, and spring onions added
Simmer at length to combine flavors. Can be frozen, reboiled, skimmed,
etc. I have a sauce that is a half-dozen years old at present - I add
more garlic, ginger, onions, soy sauce, to replenish as needed.

COCONUT CHICKEN WITH PINEAPPLE
From: s0361690@let.rug.nl (mw. C.A.E. le Clercq)
Here a recipe for what we call 'kipfilet' (chicken fillet): part of the
chicken with no bones or fat. It's really easy, but very delicious.
Ingredients:
------------
1 chicken fillet per person.
1 egg, beaten, in a dish
chipped coconut, in a dish
a tin with pineapple slices
pepper
salt
sojasauce
Instructions:
-------------
Rub fillets in with pepper and salt and sojasauce. Dip first in beaten
egg and then in chipped coconut, so that they get entirely covered.
Put them in a frying pan with some not too hot butter: be careful that
the fillets don't stick to the pan and that the coconut does not get too
dark. They will be done in about ten minutes. Check to be sure.
Then take them out and keep them warm. Turn up the heat and put in the
same frying pan pineapple slices along with the juice from the tin.
Keep the slices moving and brown them in about a minute or two.
Serve the pineapple and the juice with the chicken.
Goes well with rice and a salad.
COLD CHICKEN RECIPE
From: jmk5u@virginia.edu (Jeremy)
I don't have the exact proportions with me but an excellent dish in the
summer is cold poached chicken with tuna basil sauce. Poach (or even
grill) the chicken breasts in the morning and chill them for at least
six hours.
The night before combine reasonable proportions of canned tuna fish(one
can), yogurt (just a touch), about 1/3 of a cup of basil, juice from
half a lemon and three or four anchovies. Mix it all in the blender and
achieve a decent consistancy by adjusting the ingredients. To serve put
a dollop of the sauce on the chicken, sprinkle with paprika and garnish
with a basil leaf. Excellent and easy. (Sorry about not having the
complete recipe.)
CORNISH GAME HENS
From: dfw@thumper..bellcore.com (Doris Woods)
Ingredients:
------------
1 cornish game hen cut-up in pieces, ie: wings, thighs breast etc
Olive oil
1/2 tbs butter
2 baby eggplant peeled and diced
Asparagus stalks in thirds (I used leftovers)
1 cubano pepper chopped
1 small onion chopped
2 cloves garlic minced
1 tsp ginger
Curry powder to taste
1/2 cup sour cream (can substitute plain yogurt)
Leftover Lentil Dahl (optional)
2 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup dried rice
1/2 cup dried orzo
Instructions:
-------------
Start the stock for the rice and orzo. When the stock is boiling add
the rice and orzo and lower to simmer. Cook like you would normal rice.
In a heavy frying pan (mine is a cast iron chicken pan) on high add the
olive oil (use your own judgement) and butter. Sautee the onions,
garlic and pepper with the ginger and a liberal amount of curry powder.
Add the pieces of hen and brown. Remove pieces and set aside. Add
eggplant and asparagus until eggplant is tender being careful not to
burn onion etc.
(Now if you are not going to use Dahl add about a 2/3 cup of stock and
let simmer for about 5 min until hot. Then take a little of the juice
out and mix with sour cream. Put mixture back in and add hen. Cover
and simmer for about 30 to 40 min until juices run clear when you
puncture chicken with fork).
If you are going to use some Dahl, skip the stock and add the sour cream
or yogurt right away. Mix until creamy, then add the Dahl also mixing
well. Place hen pieces on top. Simmer covered for 30 to 40 min. Serve
over rice-orzo mixture
Add salt and pepper to taste Although I added a little salt I didn't use
pepper because it was seasoned pretty well.
Things you can add that would probably be good:
Chopped tomato
mushroom
spinach

spaghetti sauce in.
9. Fight over who gets the top pieces with all the oregano and garlic
salt piled on top.

Take a whole chicken and slice down the bake bone so it lays out flat.
Turn on broiler, brush chicken with butter and cook 5 min, then baste,
repeat till chicken has cooked 20 min (should be skin side down). Turn
chicken over and baste add thyme and red pepper sauce.
Cook on skin side up 10 minutes, take chicken out turn oven onto 400
degrees, in a bowl add 3T mustard, minced onion, and 2T of chicken
grease.

10-20 min or until crumbs are brown.
DIJON CHICKEN
From: todd@kastle.com (Todd A. Scalzott)
Mix about a cup of flour with some black pepper, thyme, and marjoram.
About a tsp of each.
Dredge boneless chicken breasts in the flour and then brown in butter in
a skillet.
Remove the chicken, add about a 1/4 cup of vermouth and cook down to a
glaze. Add a couple tablespoons of dijon mustard (I like LOTS), stir,
add about a half cup of heavy cream, and simmer.
Add approx 1/4 cup of chicken broth, mixed with some of the leftover
flour mixture and pour in the sauce to thicken. Add a tablespoon or so
of lemon juice. Add the chicken breasts and simmer until hot.
Delicious.
Variations:
-----------
1) Cut up the chicken breasts into small strips before dredging in the
flour. It really tastes better this way, I think.
2) Add sliced fresh mushrooms to the sauce, letting them cook up a bit
with the sauce.
3) Add artichoke hearts to the sauce, just before adding back the
chicken.
GARLIC-GINGER ROASTED CHICKEN
From: giber@pollux.cs.uga.edu (Carolyn Giberson)
Here is a good thing to do with a whole chicken:
1. prepare a marinade using soy sauce (1/2 cup), honey (1/4 cup),
vinegar (any kind, 1/4 cup), chopped garlic (2 tbsp or so), and minced
ginger root (2 tbsp or so). The proportions are a matter of taste.
2. Place your rinsed chicken in a ziplock bag and cover with marinade.
Seal to exclude air so chicken is fully contacted by the marinade. Let
marinate at least 8 hours or overnight for a more intense flavor.
3. When ready to roast, place breat side down in a shallow pan. Roast
about 20 - 25 minutes per pound, 350 F. Baste with the marinade or pan
juices every 15 minutes. Turn the chicken breast side up during the
last half hour. Chicken should be a nice mahogany color when done.
Keep a close eye on it though; the marinade can scorch a little with all
that honey in it.

(Serves 4 )
Ingredients:
------------
4 large chicken legs
1 egg
1/2 tbsp vegetable oil
Vegetable oil
1/2 tbsp cornstarch
Sauce 1:
--------
2 green onions
1.5 tbsps mushroom soy sauce
1.5 tbsps rice wine or dry sherry
2 .5 inch piece frsh ginger
grinding of fresh pepper
3 tbsps chicken bouillon
1 tbsp cornstarch
1.5 tbsps light soy sauce
1 tsp brown sugar
Sauce 2:
--------
1 tsp rice or cider vinegar
1 tsp sesame oil (optional)
..5 tbsp chilli paste (more if you like hot food)
Instructions:
-------------
Bone and cut the chicken into .5 inch pieces, combine it with the egg,
oil and cornstarch. Combine the ingredients for Sauce 1. Warm 2
serving dishes, one lined with paper towel, in a 250 degree oven.
Fill a wok to a depth of 1.5-2 inches with oil, heat to high (400deg),
or a day-old cube of bread browns in just under a minute. Heat for
another 4 mins. Put the chicken pieces in the oil, then stir fry for 3
mins.
Remove the chicken, and keep warm in the paper-lined dish in the oven.
Empty the oil from the wok, reduce the heat to medium (350deg) and stir
in Sauce 1.
As soon as it bubbles, stir in the chicken. Sprinkle sauce 2 over the
chicken, stir fry for another minute, then turn into the warm serving
dish. Scrape the sauce over the chicken, and serve at once.
GENERAL TSO'S CHICKEN (2)
From: Anne_Judge@sdr.slb.com
Source: Fast & Easy Oriental Wok Cooking, by Jacqueline Heriteau.
Quoting from the article the recipe was contained in, "The dish is not
difficult to make and can be prepared partially in advance. The crunch
texture of the chicken pieces is achieved by coating them with egg and
cornstarch, then deep-frying them twice - once to cook them through and
once at a higher temperature to make them brown and crisp. The velvety
sweet-sour sauce, which is combined with the chicken at the last minute,
provides a wonderful counterpoint. The amount of heat is your option.
Sixteen small dried red peppers provide a moderate amount of heat. Add
more or less to taste, but be careful not to bite into one. They are
dynamite!"
Ingredients:
------------
1 egg
1 tblsp cornstarch
1 lb boned, skinned chicken cut from thigh or breast
into 2 inch chuncks
About 16 small dried hot red chili peppers
4 to 5 green onions, cut diagonally into 1" pieces
1 clove garlic, finely minced
1/4 tsp grated fresh gingerroot
Vegetable oil
Sauce:
------
4 tsp cornstarch
4 tsp sugar
4 tsp rice vinegar
6 tblsp soy sauce
1/4 C chicken broth
1/4 C water
1/4 C dry sherry wine
Whisk together thoroughly the egg and cornstarch. Add pieces of
chicken, turning to coat evenly.
In wok or deep-fat fryer, heat 2 inches of oil to 350 F. Fry chicken, a
few pieces at a time until lightly browned and just cooked through.
Drain on paper towels.
Combine sauce ingredients, mixing well. Set aside. (The chicken may be
fried the first time up to one hour in advance; the sauce can be
combined several days in advance and kept covered in the refrigerator.)
In frying pan, heat 1 TBSP of oil until hot. Add chili peppers and cook
until blackened. Add onions and stir-fry about one minute. Add garlic
and ginger, cooking briefly, but do not brown. Remove from heat.
Reheat deep oil to 400 F. Return chicken to fat, in batches, and cook
until crisp and golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
Re-stir sauce and add to frying pan with onions and peppers. Cook,
stirring until thickened and bubbly. Add chicken and cook, stirring,
until well coated and heated through. Serve over rice. Makes 3 to 4
servings.
GENERAL TSO'S CHICKEN
From: arnie@osu-20.ircc.ohio-state.edu (Arnie Skurow)
Following is yet another recipe for General Tso's chicken. The
seasoning sauce is the tricky part of the dish. Instead of thickening
with corn starch as in most Chinese dishes, it is necessary to
caramelize the mixture, as in making candy. I suspect some restaurants
use honey as the sweetener in the sauce instead of sugar.
Ingredients:
------------
2 whole chicken breasts
1 orange rind, minced
2+ dried hot chili peppers, crushed
1 tblsp fresh ginger, minced
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/3 cup fried peanuts (w/out skin), chopped
Batter:
-------
1 egg
1/4 cup beer
2 tblsp soy sauce
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 tsp baking powder
dash of pepper
Seasoning Sauce:
----------------
6 tblsp sugar
3 tblsp cider vinegar
5 tblsp soy sauce
1 tsp cornstarch
Instructions:
-------------
1. Skin and bone the chicken. Cut into 1-1/2" x 2" strips.
2. Mix batter. Add chicken, tossing lightly to coat. Cover and chill
for 1/2 hour.
3. Mix seasoning sauce.
4. Coat each piece of chicken well with cornstarch. Arrange chicken on
well-floured wax paper.
5. Heat 2-3" of oil in a pan until very hot. Fry chicken for 30
seconds. Drain well on a cookie sheet covered with paper towels.
6. Reheat oil over high heat until very hot. Refry chicken until
crispy and golden brown. Drain again and keep hot in oven.
7. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in wok over medium heat. Fry orange rind
until golden brown. Add chili and ginger, stir-frying 20 seconds. Mix
in seasoning sauce and heat to boil, stirring constantly until foam
subsides and the sauce thickens slightly and turns to glaze (about 2
minutes or more). Add fried chicken, tossing to coat well. Sprinkle
chopped peanuts on top.

GREEK HOMESTYLE CHICKEN
From: syvdk@tjuvm.tju.edu (David J. Kernen)
My wife taught me how to make this. She learned it in Greece, where
it's a common meal. It's incredibly delicious, and while it's cooking,
the smell will have everyone in the house salivating. She cooks it in
an open pan, but I find the chicken stays moister if you cover it (with
aluminum foil or some- thing) for the first half-hour or so. Either
way, it tastes great!
Ingredients:
------------
Four pieces of boneless, skinless chicken breasts
juice of two lemons
four or five potatoes, peeled and sliced french-fry style
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 to 1 cup of water
one head of garlic, the cloves peeled but whole
oregano, salt, and pepper to taste
Instructions:
-------------
Place chicken in a shallow baking tray.
Arrange potatoes around chicken pieces. Scatter whole peeled cloves of
garlic around chicken and potatoes.
Mix together lemon juice and olive oil, and pour evenly over chicken and
potatoes. Add water until potatoes are just about covered.
Add salt, pepper to taste. Cover chicken and pototoes with generous
amounts of oregano.
Bake at 350 degrees, until tops of chicken are reddish brown.
Turn chicken, stir potatoes, and sprinkle on more oregano. If potatoes
aren't at least half-covered with liquid, add water.
Return to oven for about 15-20 minutes. Chicken is done when both sides
a lightly browned and potatoes are soft when touched with a fork.
Serve with a crusty bread, or with pita bread.

INDONESIAN SATE AND PEANUT SAUCE
From: pchurch@actrix.gen.nz (Pat Churchill)
The Meat:
I've used pork fillets and chicken but my favourite is lamb. I use the
cut called *fillets* which is like the beef fillet or tenderloin only
much smaller. But you can use forequarter or leg or lamb - or chicken
or whatever you will.
Now cube your meat and place it in a bowl with:
~2-3 tblsp soy sauce
1 tsp sambal oelek (red pepper concentrate)
1 tsp dried cumin
1 tsp dried coriander
1 tsp turmeric
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 tsp ginger
1 tsp laos (dried galangal powder)
1 medium onion cut in quarters lengthwise then each quarter
cut crosswise - separate the layers
add a little water to the mixture to barely cover the meat and mix
everything well
Let this lot sit for a couple of hours in the fridge then remove the
meat and thread it on bamboo skewers that have been soaking in water.
You can intersperse the meat with some of the onion if you want (which
is why we cut it the way we did :) ) SAVE all the marinade.
Barbecue or grill the meat. Meanwhile take around half a cup of smooth
or crunchy peanut butter, put it in a saucepan, and gradually mix in the
marinade (strained, if you wish). Place over a gently heat and stir
while it heats through. If it doesn't look like enough, add more peanut
butter and more water - this stuff is ADDICTIVE so make plenty. You
might want to chuck in some more sambal oelek if you like your food
fiery. You can actually add quite a bit of water and still get a fair
amount of sauce from the peanut butter. It just seems to thicken up as
you go. But compensate by adding more soy (for the saltiness and
flavour) and more garlic and spicesas you see fit.
We have this dish with either plain rice or nasi goreng (fried rice).
We like to have side dishes of sliced gherkins, tomato quarters, and
bananas sliced and sprinkled with lemon juice.
If you don't feel up to grilling and saucemaking simultaneously, make
the sauce first and reheat it in the microwave when you need it. Add
sugar to it if you like a sweeter sate sauce. Use coconut milk instead
of water if you wish. Selamat makan!!!

some phony stuff appearing in supermarkets which is nothing like real
Jerk Seasoning.
To make your own jerk rub:
Jerk Rub:
---------
1 onion finely chopped
1/2 cup finely chopped scallion
2 tsp fresh thyme leaves
2 tsp salt
1 tsp allspice (BTW, In Jamaica, allspice is called "pimento")
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp cinammon
4 to 6 hot peppers, finely ground (Habernero ideal, otherwise Jalepeno)
1 tsp black pepper
Mix together to make a paste (food processor ideal). Smear all over
chicken pork fish whatever. Let sit for a while. Keep leftover rub in
a jar in the frig.

Instructions:
-------------
6 to 8 green onions, diced
1 medium-sized onion, diced
2 to 4 scotch bonnet peppers or jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced
3/4 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tblsp fresh thyme leaves
1 tsp whole cloves, crushed
1 tsp black peppercorns, crushed
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp ground allspice
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into strips
Instructions:
-------------
Place all ingredients except chicken in a food processor fitted with a
metal blade. Process for 10 to 15 seconds at high speed. Place the
chicken in a bowl and pour the marinade over it. Refrigerate for 4 to 6
hours.
Preheat grill until coals are gray to white.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and drain off any excess liquid.
Place on the oiled grill and cook for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or
until the chicken is white in the center. Serve the chicken with fried
plantains, pumpkin rice with kale, and steamed okra.
Alternative:
------------
Jerk chicken can also be baked in the oven. Pour the jerk marinade over
chicken pieces (4 drum, 4 thigh) and refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours,
turning after 3 hours. Remove the chicken pieces and place on a baking
sheet. Bake at 375 for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until meat pulls easily
away from the bone. Bake 30 to 40 minutes if using chicken breast
strips.

KUNG PAO CHICKEN #1
From: tas@virginia.edu (Thomas A. Spraggins)
Ingredients:
------------
1+ lb. chicken breasts. Since I usually don't decide what to have for
dinner until I get home, the chicken's usually frozen and I "nuke" it
until it's still fairly hard; then it's easy to cut into ~1/2" cubes.
Add 1+ Tbl corn starch and an egg white, mix it up and set aside.
A bunch (or more) green onions. Just pull off the dry or mushy parts
and rinse, but you can use pretty much the whole things. Cut 'em in 1/2
to 1 inch pieces. Add 1 or 2 crushed garlic cloves (or, if you're me,
4-6!)
3/4 cup peanuts (or more, or less).
Sauce: (I don't actually measure any of this)
----------------------------------------------
1+ tsp. chili paste w/ garlic
1 tsp. sesame oil
1 tsp. red wine vinegar or rice vinegar
1 tsp. sugar
1+ tsp. corn starch
1/4 cup chicken stock (I'm lazy: bouilon and water works fine)
1++ Tbl cooking sherry (white wine does the trick)
1 oz. soy sauce (I prefer the darker, but it doesn't matter)
5-10 dried red peppers (the ~1-2" long ones)
Instructions:
-------------
Get 1+ cup of oil (I use corn oil) REALLY hot in a wok. Within reason,
the hotter the oil, the more quickly the chicken will cook and the less
grease it will soak up. Cook the chicken until it's almost done, and
the pieces have stopped sticking to each other. Remove.
In the same oil, cook the peanuts. If you overcook them, they're pretty
bad. You'll find that you'll get a strong peanut odor (aroma?) in the
kitchen when they're ready to come out. Remove.
Dump all but ~2 Tbl oil somewhere, and heat it to smoking. Add the
peppers, and cook until black (not very long!). Add the green onions
and cook (stir fry) ~30 seconds. Add the chicken and stir fry ~60
seconds. Add the sauce, and when the sauce begins to thicken, you can
turn off the stove. Stir in the peanuts.
After you've made this a couple times, and all the ingredients have
found their way into the same cabinet, you'll find that you can prepare
this using VERY few utensils and fairly quickly. I can have it on the
table, including "nuking" the meat, in under 30 minutes.
One final word of caution: if you want to double the recipe, cook the
meat in batches. If you try to cook more than ~1-1/3 lbs. of meat at
one time, it'll just sit in the wok and soak up grease.

MURGH MAKHANI
From: mjkelly+@CS.CMU.EDU (Mary Jane Kelly)
Ingredients:
------------
1 medium chicken, cut into lots of bits
2 medium onions, also cut into lots of bits
4 oz of unsalted butter
5-7 fl.oz of yoghurt (depending on how you like it)
5-7 tsp of tomato puree (again, use taste check)
1tsp chili powder
1tsp crushed garlic
1tsp crushed ginger
1.5tsp black cumin seeds
1.5tsp coriander
1tsp salt
2tsp garam masala
3 or so green chilis
fresh coriander
Instructions:
-------------
Mix the spices and yoghurt up in a bucket and throw in the chicken parts
and puree. Leave this to one side. In a thick bottomed pot, melt the
butter and fry the onions until they are sort of translucent. Pump up
the heat, throw the yoghurt/puree/spice/chicken mix into the seething
oil and stir fry, stirring continuously in big loops, for 5 minutes or
more. Turn down the heat to about simmering temperature and add about
0.25 - 0.3 pint water. Let this simmer/cook for about 30 minutes or
until you have started biting the table with the wonderful smell coming
from the pot. Chop up the green chilis and coriander, and dunk them in.
Cook for a further 10 mins, then serve with basmati rice, naan and some
sort of daal.
Mind you, eating this meal every day will lead to a swift cholestrol
death, but the flavour is superb. I have found when serving this to
other people that aren't used to spicy food, cutting down on the chili
and cumin seeds helps a lot.
ORANGE CHICKEN WITH GREEN GRAPES (300)
From: sklarew@acs.bu.edu (Daniel Sklarew)
Source: "365 ways to cook chicken" by Cheryl Sedaker
(comments in paratheses are my own addition - dms.)
(Serves: 4)
Ingredients:
------------
1 (3 pound) chicken, cut up
1/2 tsp salt (less)
1/4 tsp ground pepper
3/4 tsp paprika (for color)
1/2 cup orange juice
1 Tbsp chopped scallions
1.5 tsp instant chicken bouillon granule (yuck! try spice mix)
1/2 tsp finely grated orange peel
1 Tbsp cornstarch dissolved in 1 Tbsp. cold water
2/3 cup seedless grapes, halved
Instructions:
-------------
1. Preheat to 350 deg. Arrange chicken skin up in 13x9x2" baking pan.
Season w/salt, pepper, and 1/4 tsp. paprika.
2. In bowl, mix o.j., scallion, bouillon granules (or spice mix) and
peel. Pour over chicken, and bake 1 hr., until chicken is brown and
tender.
3. In medium saucepan, mix dissolved cornstarch and remaining paprika.
Stir in 3/4 cup of pan drippings; bring to a boil. Stir constantly
until thick and bubbly. Add grapes and cook for 2 min., until hot.
Footnotes:
----------
If you poor the juices from cooked chicken into a container, then
refrigerate, waxy fats will congeal at the top, easy to scrape off of
the high protein gelatin underneath, then later, you need only heat up
the gelatin to have homemade broth or soup base! Can be stored in
freezer in old yogurt/sherbert containers for a long time.
Bouillon granules are frequently high in salt and MSG, among other
nasties. Instead try salt-free spice mixes, such as Parsley Patch (R)
or Mrs. Dash (R), or add a little more scallions and peels.
Other orange-chicken recipes may ask for 1/8-1/4 tsp. ground cloves
(yum!), 1 Tbsp. honey, 1/4(+)tsp. cinnamon, and/or fresh or frozen
berries (cran, ras, black, etc.). Try mixing and matching to get your
own favorite blend.
To add "orange" to chicken *breasts*, melt (<) 2 Tbsp. butter in frying
pan over med heat, add seasoned chicken for 8-10 minutes, turning once.
Then continue with sauces as described above...

------------
1 fresh chicken (approx. 1-1.5kg)
100ml oil
200ml Liquamen, or 200ml wine + 2 tsp salt

Instructions:
-------------
Start to fry chicken and season with a mixture of Liquamen and oil,

chicken is done, moisten a plate with Defritum, put chicken on it,
sprinkle pepper on it, and serve.
Notes:
------
-- Defritum: Either thick fig syrup, or must that's boiled until you
have only a third of the amount with which you started.
-- Liquamen: a salty fish sauce. Most of the time you can replace it by salt.

ROCK CORNISH HENS STUFFED WITH CURRIED RICE
From: connally@vms.cis.pitt.edu (Kate Connally)
6 Rock Cornish hens
1 1/4 cup rice
1 lemon, halved
1/4 cup dried currants
salt
1 1/2 t curry powder
freshly ground black pepper
large pinch cayenne pepper
4 1/2 T unsalted butter
3 1/4 cup chicken broth
3 T minced onion
3 strips bacon
1 small tart apple, chopped
1-2 T Madeira (optional)
Rinse hens and pat dry. Squeeze lemon juice inside cavities and rub
outside with cut lemon. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
Melt 1 1/2 T. of the butter in heavy medium saucepan. Add onion and
apple. Saute, stirring occasionally, over medium heat until onion is
softened but not browned, about 5 min. Add rice, currants, curry
powder, and cayenne. Reduce heat to low. Saute, stirring frequently,
for 5 min. Stir in 2 1/2 cup of the broth. Heat to boiling then reduce
heat to low. Stir once and cook, covered, over low heat until rice is
tender and all the liquid has been absorbed, about 20 min. Remove from
heat. Let stand, uncovered, 15 min. to cool slightly. Spoon rice into
cavities of hens. Truss hens.
Melt remaining butter in large heavy skillet over medium heat. Add
bacon. Reduce heat to low. Saute, stirring occasionally, until bacon
begins to brown, about 8 min. Remove bacon with slotted spoon, reserve.
Add hens to drippings in skillet, working in batches if necessary.
Saute, turning occasionally, until lightly browned on all sides, about
20 minutes. Reserve drippings.
Heat oven to 350 F. Place hens breast side up in roasting pan. Pour
drippings over hens, baste with remainig 3/4 cup broth. Roast,
uncovered, 45 min., basting frequently with pan juices. Sprinkle hens
with reserved bacon. Cover pan tightly with heavy-duty aluminum foil.
Roast until juices run clear when thickest part of thigh is pierced,
about 30 minutes.
Remove hens to platter. Tent with foil to keep warm. Strain pan juices
into small saucepan. Skim off fat. Stir in 1-2 T. Madeira, to taste.
Remove trussing from hens. Spoon sauce over hens when serving.
Serves 6.
Variation:
----------
This is even better that the original. Substitute wild rice for all or
part of the rice. You will have to check to see how much raw wild rice
you will need to yield the same amount of cooked rice. I don't really
remember what amount I use. Also check on the difference in cooking
times for wild rice. Be sure to use a good quality curry powder. I go
to an oriental grocer and get Madras curry powder from India. It's much
better than most American versions.
STAYKA'S CHICKEN VINDALOO'N'PINEAPPLE
From: hz225wu@unidui.uni-duisburg.de (Micaela "Stayka" Pantke)
(serves 2)
Ingredients:
------------
250g chicken breast (or any other poultry)
1 can (400g) chopped tomatoes
1 can (250g) sweet corn (the little yellow thingies)
1 cup pineapple pieces (it was what I had left - add to taste...)
3 tsp vindaloo curry paste ++hot (be careful, dangerous stuff!)
2 tsp vindaloo curry powder ++hot (you can substitute hot chili powder)
0.5 - 1 cup soy sauce to marinate chicken in
Instructions:
-------------
1.) Slice chicken in small pieces (1 piece, 1 bite) and marinate in soy
sauce (ten minutes should suffice), then throw chicken + sauce into a
pan (don't throw over too far a distance, *you* have to clean up the
mess)
2.) Fry chicken in pan. Make sure it is well done, you don't want to
eat salmonellas.
3.) Put the can of tomatoes + the can of sweet corn into the pan and
cook together with the chicken pieces (make sure to remove the cans
before cooking).
4.) Add vindaloo curry paste + powder (well, and if you like it *really
hot* - and I *mean* REALLY - also add some hot chili powder) and stir
until everything is well blended.
5.) Add pineapple pieces.
6.) Serve hot :-)
I *strongly* suggest that you start with half of the aforementioned
amount of vindaloo spice and add more to taste! It's always easier to
*add* something than trying to fish it out of the meal...
Normally I eat one serving for lunch and keep the second one for dinner.
I found it certainly addictive, once I got over the initial shock of the
added pineapple pieces. You can moderate the impact of this fiery stuff
(well, my teaspoons are rather well heaped) with an additional portion
of rice or nan (the wonderful Indian bread).
Variations:
-----------
When you like onions you can also add two finely chopped onions. As I
despise them, I don't... Other variations include adding 1 tsp finely
chopped ginger, 1 tbsp ground almonds, 1 tbsp ground cashew nuts, 1 tsp
lemon juice, 1 medium diced potato, 1 tbsp red vinegar. Just experiment
a bit with the additional ingredients. I only add those things when I
find them in the kitchen + I have enough time to do some experiments...

and ginger over the chicken, pour the sauce over it and heat up about 4T

------------
5-6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 soup can of water
1 pkg swiss cheese
1/2 stick of butter
1 pkg coarse bread crumbs

Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and place in the bottom of a
casserole dish (dish needs to have a lid). In a small bowl, mix soup
and water then pour over chicken. Put a layer of swiss cheese over
this. Melt butter and add enough bread crumbs to take up the butter.
(I always add quite a bit - I like a crunchy top :-) Sprinkle bread
crumbs/butter over the cheese. Bake in a 375F oven for 35-45 minutes
until nicely browned and bubbly.
Note:
-----
I use lite or fat free swiss and also Campbell's Healthy Request soup to
reduce the amount of fat.
