Brandiedmustard Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and preheat a grill to high.
• Place the potatoes on a baking sheet, drizzle with canola oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast until tender and slightly browned, 20 minutes. Transfer the potatoes to a medium bowl and mash until smooth. Cover and set aside.
• Meanwhile, brush the sourdough slices on both sides with olive oil. Grill until toasted and slightly charred on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Remove the bread from the grill and halve diagonally. Set side.
• Set a medium, high-sided saute pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and the salt cod and saute for 30 seconds. Add the roasted garlic, thyme and heavy cream, and sprinkle with white pepper. Bring to a boil, then immediately lower to a simmer. Cook until the cod has softened and is cooked through, 15 to 18 minutes. Remove the thyme bundle and flake the cod with a fork until shredded. Add the mashed potatoes, lemon juice, and zest, and cream together to make a spread.
• Drizzle the brandade with olive oil and garnish with parsley. Serve with the grilled sourdough.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Slice the top off of the head of garlic, just enough to expose the cloves. Set the garlic on a piece of aluminum foil, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Wrap up the foil into a tight pouch and roast for 35 to 45 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200°F.
• Note: to clarify butter: Put the butter in a stainless steel bowl in a 200 degree oven. After 1 hour, skim off the crust on top. Put the bowl in the refrigerator. When the butter has re solidified, turn it out of the bowl. Scrape off and discard the white solid layer of milk solids (this is what burns during frying). Wrap and refrigerate the yellow layer of clarified butter until needed. One pound of butter yields about 14 oz. of clarified butter.
• Mix the flour with the 1 teaspoon each of salt and of pepper.
• Dredge the chicken in the seasoned flour and shake off the excess.
• Heat the clarified butter in a skillet and add the chicken and sauté over medium heat for 5 minutes. Turn the chicken and sauté for 3-5 more minutes or until just done.
• Remove from the skillet and keep warm in the oven.
• Discard any butter left in the pan.
• Add the shallots, vermouth, and brandy to the pan; turn the heat to high and reduce the liquid to 3 tablespoons while stirring to scrape up any browned bits.
• Whisk in the mustard. Add the salt, pepper, and cream and cook over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mixture is the consistency of a light gravy.
• Transfer the chicken from the oven to dinner plates, mask with the sauce, dust with the parsley and serve at once.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking dish and set dish on a baking sheet.
• Rinse salt cod under cold water, transfer to a sealable container and cover with several inches of cold water. Soak cod in the refrigerator, changing the water every few hours, for 24 to 36 hours. Remove cod from water and cut into evenly-sized pieces.
• Stir cod, milk, thyme, bay leaves, and cayenne pepper together in a pot over medium-high heat. Cook until fish begins to flake; 7 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat and strain; reserve cooking liquid and transfer fish to a bowl.
• Place potatoes and garlic in a large pot and cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain.
• Mash cod, a few splashes reserved cooking liquid, and lemon zest together in a bowl. Pour in remaining reserved cooking liquid and potatoes; mash until desired consistency is reached. Stir in 1/2 of the olive oil, lemon juice, and black pepper until smooth. Add remaining olive oil and blend until smooth. Season with salt. Pour mixture into prepared baking dish. Spread creme fraiche over the top and score the top with a spoon to create a crisscross surface.

Steps:

• Prepare a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill, or heat a gas grill to high. Brush steaks with oil; season with salt and pepper.

• Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large cast-iron skillet set on grill alongside steaks. Add mushrooms and shallots to skillet and stir until mushrooms are tender and browned in spots and shallots are tender, 4-5 minutes. Remove skillet from heat; stir in brandy (caution: Mixture may ignite). Return skillet to grill. Add broth, Dijon mustard, and thyme leaves; stir to blend.
