Coq au Vin Blanc

RECIPE BY ROBERT KRUMPE

Ingredients

1 tablespoon grape-seed oil
3½-pound chicken, in 10 pieces without backbone,
dried salt and ground white pepper
8 ounces white pearl onions, blanched 3 minutes and peeled
1 medium onion, finely chopped
¼ cup finely chopped celery
4 cloves garlic, sliced
9 ounces oyster mushrooms, trimmed, clumps separated
¾ cup chardonnay
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons butter (unsalted or black truffle)
1 tablespoon minced tarragon

January

Preparation

Heat the oil on medium-high in a 4-quart stovetop casserole or sauté pan. Add the chicken, skin side down, as many pieces as fit comfortably. Cook until lightly browned, season with salt and pepper and turn to brown other side. Remove to a platter when done and repeat with the remaining chicken.

Add the pearl onions to casserole and toss in fat until lightly browned. Remove to a dish. Reduce heat to low. Add the chopped onion, celery and garlic, cook until softened, and stir in the mushrooms. When they wilt, add the wine, bring to a simmer and season with salt, pepper and lemon juice. Return chicken to casserole with any accumulated juices, baste, cover and cook 30 minutes, basting a few more times. Remove the chicken to a platter.

Increase heat to medium-high and cook the sauce and mushrooms about 5 minutes, until sauce thickens slightly. Lower heat, add the pearl onions and butter. When butter melts, check seasonings, return chicken to casserole, baste and simmer a few minutes. Serve from casserole or transfer to a deep platter. Scatter the tarragon on top before serving.

Roulade

RECIPE BY ALEXANDER KULT

Ingredients

For the Rouladen:
8 slices top round beef, about 4×6 inches in size and 1/4 inch thick, gently pound the slices with a meat mallet until they’re a little thinner than 1/4 inch
1/3 cup German yellow mustard
8 slices bacon
8 medium German pickles, sliced lengthwise
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
salt and freshly ground black pepper

For the Gravy:
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon cooking oil
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 small leek, chopped, rinsed and drained in colander
1 large carrot, chopped
1 large celery stalk, chopped
1 cup dry red wine
2 cups strong beef broth
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons chilled butter
cornstarch or flour dissolved in a little water for thickening

February

Preparation

Lay the beef slices out on a work surface. Spread each beef slices with about 2 teaspoons of mustard and sprinkle with a little salt and freshly ground black pepper. Place a strip of bacon on each beef slice so it’s running the same length as the beef. Place the sliced German pickles and chopped onions on each beef slice. Roll up the beef slices, tucking in the sides as best you can and securing the beef rolls with toothpicks or cooking twine.

Heat the butter and oil in a heavy Dutch oven or pot (make sure it’s oven-safe if baking in the oven) and generously brown the rouladen on all sides. Browning them well will ensure a rich and flavorful gravy. Set the rouladen aside on a plate.

Do not remove the browned bits in the bottom of the pan (important for a flavorful gravy): Add the onions to the pot and a little more butter or oil if needed. Cook the onions until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Add the leek, carrots and celery and cook for another 5 minutes. Pour in the red wine, bring to a rapid boil for one minute, reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 2-3 more minutes. Add the beef broth, tomato paste, bay leaf, sugar, salt and pepper. Nestle the beef rouladen in the pot. Oven or Stovetop: You can cook the rouladen, covered, on the stovetop on low for about 90 minutes or until fork tender, but for the most even cooking we recommend transferring the pot (make sure it’s oven-safe) to the oven preheated to 325 F and cook it there for about 90 minutes or until fork tender.

To Make the Rouladen Gravy:
When the beef is fork tender, remove the rouladen from the pot and set aside. Pour the liquid and vegetables through a strainer and reserve the liquid. (You can eat the veggies on the side or puree them in the blender and then return them to the gravy.) Return the strained liquid back to the pot and bring to a simmer. Thicken the gravy either with either a cornstarch slurry (for a clear/translucent gravy) or flour slurry (for an opaque gravy). For a creamy gravy you can also add a few tablespoons of heavy cream at this point. Simmer, whisking constantly, until the gravy is thickened. Add the chilled butter, whisking constantly, until the butter is melted and incorporated. Add salt, pepper and mustard to taste.

Chicken Fricassee

RECIPE BY CHRISTIAN DIETRICH

Ingredients

For the sauce:
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 cups chicken broth,
3 juniper berries
1 whole clove
1 bay leaf
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
black pepper, to taste
salt, to taste

For the vegetables:
1 cup carrots, halved lengthwise and cut into 1/4-inch pieces
1 cup green asparagus, bottom peeled and trimmed, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 cup frozen peas
1 tablespoon clarified butter
1 cup baby oyster mushrooms, cut into bite-sized pieces
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
salt, to taste

To serve:
2 cups cooked and shredded chicken meat
a handful of chervil or dill leaves, to garnish

November

Preparation

For the sauce, heat the butter over medium heat until melted. Add the flour and cook the flour-butter mixture for 3-4 minutes while constantly whisking. Once the flour smells slightly nutty, add the white wine. Keep whisking constantly to prevent any lumps. Then, bit by bit, add the chicken broth and keep whisking. Bring the sauce to a boil and lower the heat to the lowest setting. Add the juniper berries, clove, and bay leaf. Let the sauce simmer for at least 15 minutes.

In the meantime, prepare your vegetables. In a big pot of boiling salted water, blanch the carrots for 3 minutes. Take them out and put them into ice water. Blanch the asparagus stalks for 1 minute, then add the asparagus tips and blanch for another minute. Take the asparagus out and put it into the ice water bath. Drain the blanched vegetables and set aside.

Heat the clarified butter over high heat in a saute pan and saute the mushrooms for 3-4 minutes. Add the dried thyme and season to taste with salt. Set the mushrooms aside.

Strain your sauce through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the spices and any lumps that might’ve formed. Add it back into the pot and whisk in the heavy cream. Season the sauce with sugar, nutmeg, pepper, and salt to taste.

Shortly before serving, add the shredded chicken meat along with the blanched vegetables, frozen peas, and mushrooms into the sauce. Let the fricassee simmer for 2-3 minutes over low heat to warm through all the ingredients. Garnish the finished fricassee with fresh chervil or dill leaves and serve together with millet or rice to soak up the sauce.
