While the vegetables are cooking bring the chicken stock to a boil in a separate pot and remove from the heat.  Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well. Add the hot chicken stock and stir well cooking for 5 minutes until the mixture thickens lightly.  Add the diced turkey along with mushrooms, peas, parsley and thyme.  Simmer for10 minutes.  Season to taste with lemon juice, salt and pepper.

 

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the pot pie mixture in your favorite pie dish or casserole dish.  Cut a piece of puff pastry dough slightly larger than the dish the pie filling is in. Cover the filling and dish with the puff pastry dough to seal.  Cut a few vents in the dough with a pairing knife.  Place the pie in the oven and bake for 15 minute or until the pastry is golden and crispy.

3 tablespoons

olive oil

 

1 cup

1 tablespoons

 

olive oil

carrots, organic, the best you can find

peeled and slice into ½ thick rounds

pitted olive cured black olives, quartered

cumin seeds

salt and black pepper

In a large deep side sauté pan over high heat add the olive oil and then the carrots.

Cook the carrots for two minutes stirring them often so they don’t burn. Cover the pan with a tight lid, reduce the heat to low and cook for seven minutes.  Remove the lid and stir the carrots well, they should be almost tender, and caramelized slightly. Add the cumin seeds, increase the heat slightly and cook for a couple minutes, do not walk away from the pan, the carrots will burn easily if you are not careful. Once the carrots are tender, season to taste with salt and pepper, and add the olives. Be careful not to add too much salt because the olives ad to the saltiness of the dish. Serve as a side dish with any meal.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND CARMELIZED ONION TART

Sunday, November 14, 2010

Thanks to Richard Haake, www.winerychefs.com

1 tsp.

3 oz.

¼ c.

3 tbsp.

 

2 tbsp.

1 lb

½ C.

1

1 tsp.

 

all purpose flour

salt

butter, unsalted, diced and kept cold

water, very cold

 

onions, thinly sliced

fresh thyme sprigs

butter

salt and pepper

olive oil

butternut squash, top part, sliced into crescents

vella dry jack cheese or gruyere

egg, mixed well

coarse salt

 

To make the dough, place the flour and salt in a mixer with the paddle attachment.  Turn the mixer on low and slowly add the diced butter until it’s a sand consistency. Add the water and mix just until the dough comes together.  Remove the dough onto a lightly flour surface and work the dough into a ball, be sure not to over mix. Flatten the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic and chill for an hour.

 

In a large sauté pan over medium heat add the onions and cover for ten minutes.  The onions will release their water and begin to cook down.  At this time add the butter, thyme sprigs and season lightly with salt and peppers.  Continue cooking the onions for an hour, stirring often until the onions are brown. When the onions are done spread them out on a sheet tray to cool.

 

In a non-stick sauté pan cook add the olive oil and lightly cook the butternut squash on both sides.  There is no need to cook the squash until its soft, leave it a little al dente.

Season lightly with salt and pepper. Lay the squash on a sheet tray to cool.

 

Preheat the oven to 400°F.  To assemble the tart roll out the dough on a floured surface until its about 1/8” thick. Place the dough on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper.  Spread the onions in the middle of the dough leaving a 2” border. Then carefully and uniformly place the squash on the onions, and sprinkle with cheese. Bring the edges of the dough partially over the filling, brush the dough with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse salt. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the galette is golden brown.  Slice and serve with a simple salad.  Serves 4

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 2 to 3 pounds pork tenderloin, trimmed and cleaned
  • 1 cup bacon, diced
  • 1 onion 1/4" thin slices
  • 2   granny smith apples 1/4" thin slices
  • 2 yukon gold potatoes peeled and quartered
  • 2 fresh sprigs thyme
  • 2  sage leaves
  • 2 teaspoons caraway seeds
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • salt and pepper

 

 

Preheat the oven to 275F.  In a deep side saute pan over high heat add the olive oil. Season the pork tenderloin generously with salt and pepper and sear the pork on all sides.  Once the meat is browned well on the outside, but not cooked through remove it from the pan onto a plate.  Reduce the heat to medium and add the bacon to the pan.  Cook the bacon until its crisp, then drain off half of the oil.  Add the onions and cook until them until they are soft.  Add the apples and potatoes to the pan and mix the ingredients together.  Place the pork back in the pan, gently pushing the tenderloins down into the ingredients. Add the thyme, sage, caraway seeds, chicken stock to the pan and season well with salt and pepper. Cover the pan with a lid, place the pan in the oven to cook for 45 minutes until the pork tenderloin has achieved an internal temperature of 140F.  Remove the pan from the oven and allow the meat to rest in the pan with all the juices for 15 minutes.

To serve remove the meat from the pan onto a cutting board and slice.   Stir the vegetable mixture, remove the thyme and sage. Taste for seasoning, if it's needed add more salt and pepper.  Lay out the plates and place a generous spoonful of vegetables and top with 4 to 5 slices of pork.
