Chicken with Forty Cloves of Garlic 

Source: The New James Beard 1989

A Provençal recipe I taught for years in my classes-and which never failed to astonish the students. They couldn't believe we would use forty garlic cloves, but the slow braising softens the garlic to a lovely buttery consistency and delicate flavor, like the garlic purée on page 534.

Makes 8 servings 

2/3 cups oil

8 chicken drumsticks and thighs (or use 16 drumsticks or 16 thighs)

4 ribs celery, cut in long strips

2 medium-size onions, chopped

6 sprigs parsley

1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon

(or 1 teaspoon dried)

1/2 cup dry vermouth

2 1/2 teaspoons salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Grated nutmeg

40 cloves garlic, unpeeled

Put the oil in a shallow dish, add the chicken pieces, and turn them to coat all sides evenly with the oil. Cover the bottom of a heavy 6-quart casserole with a mixture of the celery and onion, add the parsley and tarragon, and lay the chicken pieces on top. Pour the vermouth over them, sprinkle with the salt, pepper, and a dash or two of nutmeg, and tuck the garlic cloves around and between the chicken pieces. Cover the top of the casserole tightly with aluminum foil and then the lid (this creates an airtight seal removing the cover. so the steam does not escape). Bake in a 375° oven for 1 1/2 hours, without removing the lid. 

Serve the chicken, pan juices, and whole garlic cloves with thin slices of heated French bread or hot toast. The garlic should be squeezed from the root end of its papery husk onto the bread or toast, spread like butter, and eaten with the chicken.

Classic French Bouillabaisse is a traditional seafood stew originating from Marseille. It is rich in flavor, combining various types of fish and shellfish with aromatic vegetables and fragrant saffron-infused broth.

Ingredients: 1 lb mixed firm fish fillets such as cod, halibut, or sea bass, cut into 2-inch pieces. 1 lb mixed shellfish such as mussels, clams, and shrimp, cleaned. 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil. 1 onion, chopped. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1 fennel bulb, sliced. 1 leek, sliced. 1 carrot, sliced. 1 red bell pepper, chopped. 1 can 14.5 oz diced tomatoes. 4 cups fish or seafood stock. 1/2 cup white wine. 2 bay leaves. 1 teaspoon saffron threads. Salt and pepper to taste. Chopped fresh parsley for garnish.

Instructions: Put olive oil in a big pot and heat it over medium-low heat. Fennel, leek, carrot, bell pepper, and onion should all be added. For about 8 to 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft, cook. Add the white wine, bay leaves, saffron, diced tomatoes, and fish or seafood stock. Bring to a low boil. It will take 5 minutes after you add the fish fillets. After you add the shellfish, cook for another 5 to 7 minutes, or until the fish is fully cooked and the shellfish have opened. Add pepper and salt to taste. Serve hot with chopped parsley on top.

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 25 minutes

Who are these two people? Julia Childs and her husband, Paul, of course!! Julia Child was fearless at pursuing what she loved most - cooking, teaching, and eating! Like so many women of her generation, she did it despite no one taking her seriously. Her book publisher famously told her editor, “If you can sell a book with that title, I'll eat my hat!” And yet, Mastering the Art of French Cooking is still in print 62 yers later! And the local TV station which first aired her show, The French Chef, didn’t understand why people would tune in to watch anyone cook, but she went on to have a long, celebrated television career. So many of us in the cookbook world stand on her brave shoulders and so today of all days I thank her for her courage - and also for her Beef Bourguignon! My take on Julia’s iconic recipe: https://barefootcontessa.com/recipes/beef-bourguinon Photo by Paul Childs, VALENTINES: looking straight at camera, courtesy of Schlesinger Library, Harvard Radcliffe Institute.
