Tarragon and Porcini Mushroom Chicken Fricassée

Hearty and deliciously creamy, this Tarragon and Porcini Mushroom Chicken Fricassée is just one of those perfectly indulgent dishes for a cold Autumn day. Happy Tuesday!

Ingredients (serves 2):

1/4 cup dried porcini mushrooms

1 cup boiling water

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 beautiful legs (preferably free-range) chicken

1 small onion

2 very fluffy sprigs Garden Tarragon

1 small garlic clove, minced

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

1/2 teaspoon fleur de sel or sea salt flakes

1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

3/4 cup crème fraîche or sour cream

1 tablespoon demerara sugar

Spoon dried porcini mushrooms in a bowl. Cover with boiling water. Cover with cling film, and set aside, one hour, until plumped up.

Heat olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat.

Once hot, add chicken legs, and fry until browned on all sides, about 3 minutes on each side.

Remove chicken legs from the skillet and transfer to a plate; set aside.

Drain plumped up porcini mushrooms, keeping their soaking liquid.

Peel and finely chop onion, and stir into the skillet. Fry, a couple of minutes.

Finely chop half of the Garden Tarragon, and stir into the skillet. Cook, 1 minute more.

Add minced garlic, and cook, another minute.

Roughly chop porcini mushrooms, and stir into the skillet. Cook, a couple of minutes.

Deglaze with apple cider vinegar, and cook out, 1 minute.

Return chicken legs to the skillet, along with their resting juices. Season them on both sides, with fleur de sel and black pepper.

Stir in reserved mushroom liquor, and bring to a slow boil. Reduce heat to medium low, cover with a lid, and simmer, about 20 to 25 minutes, until chicken is cooked.

Remove chicken legs once more from the skillet; keep them warm.

Stir in crème fraîche into the skillet. Add demerara sugar and increase heat back to high. Allow to reduce, a couple of minutes.

Finely chop remaining Tarragon, and stir into the skillet. Add a bit of water to loosen the sauce slightly, if necessary.

Finally, return chicken legs to the pot, cover with the lid, and cook, a last couple of minutes.

Serve Tarragon and Porcini Mushroom Chicken Fricassée hot, onto fluffy white rice, wheat berry or.

(via 13 of the Best Ways to Eat Pickles)

Hmmm:

I’m a weird little lady who loves her weird little food combinations, and this chaotically good pickle snack is one of my favorites. There are a few iterations of it around the world, including Russian and Finnish versions, but they all deliver a surprisingly balanced bite that hits all of my favorite flavor notes. 

Super sour cornichons are tempered by sweet honey and rich crème fraîche—sweet, salty, sour, and fatty play across your palate, with no one taste or texture lingering for too long.

Basil and Garlic Cream

This fragrant and herb-y Basil and Garlic Cream makes an excellent sauce for pasta, cooked al dente, just drained and folded into it, for a lunch that literally tastes like Spring. It can also be the base of salads or gratins, depending on the season's changing weather!

Ingredients (makes about 1/3 cup):

a small garlic clove

a dozen large leaves Garden Basil 

a pinch of salt and freshly cracked black pepper

1/2 tablespoon olive oil

1/3 cup crème fraîche or sour cream

Peel and halve garlic clove. Add to a mortar, and grind into a pulp with a pestle.

Tear Basil leaves into the mortar, and thoroughly grind them with the garlic into a paste. Season with salt and black pepper.

Gradually stir in olive oil, until mixture emulsifies. Then, stir in crème fraîche until well-blended.

Fold Basil and Garlic Cream into al dente pasta, or use as a base for a salad dressing or in gratins, loaves or quiches...

When we went to Sweet Liberty Drinks & Supply in South Beach back in October, we ordered their Caviar Dip with crème fraîche, caramelized onions, charred scallions, and a sizable lump of caviar served with chips, and I fell in love. On Black Friday we went to Le Caveau in Philly and enjoyed their creme fraiche dip with trout roe and chips was also a treat, but to be perfectly honest my mind was still focused on our South Beach treat from a month prior. 

It also made me think of the fantastic sequence from the first season of Mad Men when Peter Campbell is trying to educate his unmarried colleagues about chip ‘n dips that were the height of sophistication back then. 

And then I found this magnificent Mad Men Daily fake ad for a chip ‘n dip and I had to include it too!

I’d like to think that Trudy Campbell would love the modern evolution of onion dip if it meant for more occasions to enjoy caviar, but maybe that’s just me.

Smoked Salmon and Green Onion Sandwiches

"Oh, they are so good!" said Ava, biting hungrily into these Smoked Salmon and Green Onion Sandwiches, as we were having a picnic on Cheltenham Beach in Devonport. "I can't believe you put so much flavour into something you whipped up so quickly!" I was more than a little bit chuffed, but I must say, they are really good, especially if you intend to eat them on a beach! Happy Saturday!

Ingredients (serves 2):

3 heaped tablespoons sour cream or crème fraîche

1 teaspoon dried tarragon

1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

1 large Green Onion

4 large slices Wholemeal Loaf

1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened

abou4t 60 grams/2 ounces Smoked Salmon 

Spoon sour cream into a small bowl.

Add dried tarragon and black pepper, and give a good stir until well-blended.

Finely chop Green Onion, and stir into the cream mixture. Place in the refrigerator, at least half an hour.

Toast Wholemeal Loaf, and allow to cool completely.

Generously spread Green Onion and tarragon cream onto two of the toasted Wholemeal Loaf slices, and butter on the two others.

Lay Smoked Salmon onto the buttered Wholemeal Loaf slices, and close sandwiches together. Keep in the refrigerator until serving time.

Cut Smoked Salmon and Green Onion Sandwiches in halves, and wrap in cling film if bringing on a picnic!
