Pot-Cooked Chicken
With the gastronomical retreats into the city temporarily put on a rest, due to the increased experimental concoctions in my own kitchen, here's a simple recipe (though it takes a while to cook) that turned out a really juicy and succulent dish. You could substitute white wine with just water, but I found the wine somehow subdues the strong salt/pepper and gives a nice taste altogether. Here's what we did:
var fullChicken, oliveOil, whiteWine, thyme_rosemary, salt_pepper, onions, carrots, garlic;
var cookedChicken = null;
fullChicken = fullChicken + salt_pepper; // Generously apply all over
for sideOfChicken = top then bottom
ROAST-ON-HEAVY-BOTTOM-VESSEL(fullChicken, oliveOil)
REMOVE-CHICKEN(anotherPlate)
var sauteedVeggies = SAUTE-VEGETABLES(garlic, onions, carrots) // On the same oil/sauce used for the chicken
for timer = 0 to 60*60 // takes an hour
cookedChicken = cookedChicken + COOK(fullChicken, sauteedVeggies, whiteWine) // With lid of vessel closed
return cookedChicken;
Once, the chicken's done, let the liquid at the bottom heat up and thicken into a sauce and pour all over the chicken.
If the dish is left over after lunch, you could, like us, de-bone it through and make a Chicken sandwich with cheese slices for dinner. Yum ^.^
Chocolate Truffles
And here's a heavenly dessert for the Chocoholic!
var milkChocolate, darkChocolate, cocoaPowder, freshCream;
tableSpoons unsaltedButter = 3;
var chocoTruffle;
chocoTruffle = HEAT(freshCream) until bubbling
chocoTruffle = chocoTruffle + MELT(milkChocolate, darkChocolate, unsaltedButter)
chocoTruffle = REFRIGERATE-UNTIL-FIRM(chocoTruffle)
ROLL(chocoTruffle, cocoaPowder)
return chocoTruffle;
It comes out with such a beautiful consistency that's absolutely creamy and melts in your mouth, that we're still looking for alternate dishes this yummy, delightful chocolate concoction could be turned into.
