Chicken Rossini Recipes

Steps:

• Heat a large, heavy skillet over medium high heat. Cut chicken into large chunks and season with salt and pepper and poultry seasoning. Add 1 tablespoon extra-virgin oil to the hot pan, 1 turn in a slow stream. Set chicken into pan and do not turn for 2 or 3 minutes or you will tear the meat. Brown chicken 3 minutes on each side and then remove all of the chicken to a warm plate. Add bell peppers, hot peppers and garlic to the pan. Saute the peppers and garlic for 5 minutes, tossing and turning them frequently. Add wine to the pan and reduce 1 minute. Scrape up the pan drippings. Add the chicken stock and bring it up to a bubble. Set the chicken back into the pan. Toss the parsley with the chicken and peppers and cook the chicken through, 2 or 3 minutes. Scatter a little hot pepper juice over the pan and serve the Scarpariello over a bed of lemon orzo. WOW!
• Cook orzo in salted water about 12 minutes, to al dente. Drain orzo well. Do not run under cold water. You want the cooked pasta to remain hot. Transfer pasta to a serving bowl. Drizzle orzo with a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Add lemon zest and parsley and toss to combine the flavors with the pasta.

Discard the seeds. Add the sugar syrup and Grand Marnier to the puree and refrigerate until very cold.

Steps:

• In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over high. Season beef with salt and pepper. Working in batches if necessary so as not to crowd the pan, brown the beef, about 3 minutes per side.
• Reduce heat to medium, then add peppercorns and shallots. Cook, stirring, 10 minutes. Add wine and cook, stirring up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon, until the liquid has almost evaporated. Add stock, truffle juice, and parsley stems. Bring to a boil, then cook until reduced by one-half. Strain through a fine mesh sieve. Season with salt and pepper.
