Drumsticks En Croute Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Beat the egg with the water and set aside.
• Cut the kielbasa into 8 (3-inch) long pieces and set aside.
• On a lightly floured surface roll the pastry sheets into 12 by 12-inch squares. Cut the sheets into 8 equal squares. Brush 1 square with water around the edges and wrap a sausage up in the pastry. (First fold the 2 long sides over the sausage, then fold the ends up and over. Press edges firmly to seal.) Place seam side down on a parchment-lined sheet pan.
• Brush the tops and sides of the packages with egg wash and bake until browned and shinny, about 25 minutes. Transfer to a rack and cool for 20 minutes, before serving. They can be served warm or at room temperature with assorted mustards.

Steps:

• To make the mushroom stuffing, in a large, heavy skillet melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and garlic, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the mushrooms, salt, and pepper, and cook, stirring, until the mushrooms are wilted and begin to caramelize, 10 to 15 minutes. Add the wine and cook, stirring to deglaze the pan and until the liquid has almost all evaporated and the mixture is tight, about 5 minutes. Stir in the parsley and remove from the heat. Let cool completely before using.
• Season the pork tenderloins with the Essence.
• Heat the oil in a skillet or Dutch oven large enough to hold the tenderloins over medium-high heat. Add the tenderloins and reduce the heat to medium. Sear evenly on all sides and cook, turning frequently. Remove pork from the pan and cool for 10 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease. Set aside.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry to a 12 by 18-inch rectangle. Place the pork tenderloins on 1/2 of the puff pastry, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Evenly coat the tenderloins on all sides with the mustard.
• Pack the cooled mushroom mixture around the pork tenderloins. Brush a 1/2-inch border of egg wash on the pastry around the meat. Gently pull the remaining pastry over the meat to completely enclose, and press gently to seal. With a small knife cut away the excess pastry to make an even border and crimp the pastry edges with a fork dipped in flour. Make a small slit in the top of the pastry for steam to vent.
• Carefully transfer the tenderloin to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the pastry evenly with egg wash. Bake for 10 minutes, then rotate the pan. Bake until golden brown and an instant read thermometer reaches 140 degrees F, an additional 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minute before serving.
• Slice the pork tenderloin and serve with the Haricots Verts.
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.
• Recipe from "New New Orleans Cooking", by Emeril Lagasse and Jessie Tirsch. Published by William and Morrow, 1993.
• In a saute pan, melt the butter. Add the garlic and shallots and saute until the shallots begin to soften. Add the haricot vert, lemon juice and zest and cook until crisp-tender - about 3 minutes. Add the marjoram and season, to taste, with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil. Add the sauerkraut, onions, caraway seeds and a 1/2 cup of water; cook, covered, until the liquid evaporates and the sauerkraut and onions are very tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool completely.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Cut the kielbasa into 2 (8-inch) lengths, then cut the pizza dough in 1/2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each 1/2 of dough into a rectangle about 2 inches longer than the kielbasa and wide enough to wrap around it. Spoon 1/2 of the sauerkraut mixture down the center of each piece of dough, then place a kielbasa half on the sauerkraut. Fold up the dough to enclose the kielbasa completely, pinching the edges to seal. Transfer to an ungreased baking sheet. Bake until golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Cut into slices; serve warm or at room temperature, with honey mustard on the side.

Steps:

• Mix 1 tablespoon lemon zest and the lemon juice in a large bowl. Add 1 cup water and the sugar and whisk to dissolve, then whisk in the buttermilk. Pierce the drumsticks several times with a fork and season with salt and pepper. Toss in the marinade, cover and refrigerate 4 hours, or overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Bring the chicken to room temperature. Put the panko, thyme, the remaining 1 tablespoon lemon zest, the cayenne, 1 teaspoon salt, and black pepper to taste in a large resealable plastic bag and shake to mix. Put the mayonnaise in a bowl. Set a rack on a baking sheet and spray with cooking spray.
• Remove the drumsticks from the marinade, dip in the mayonnaise, then drop into the bag and shake to coat; transfer to the rack.
• Mist the chicken with cooking spray. Bake until golden, about 35 minutes; flip and bake until browned and crisp, 35 to 40 more minutes. Cool completely, then pack in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a small bowl, combine the spices and mix well. Rub the chicken evenly with the spice mixture and place on a baking sheet. Place in the oven and cook for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Remove to cool.
• While chicken is cooling, unfold the filo, stacking the layers so the ends are aligned, and cut into 6-inch wide strips the length of the dough. Cover with a damp towel until ready to use.
• Once chicken is cool enough to handle, make a small slit in the leg and add about 1 to 2 teaspoons of the mustard. Working with 1 sheet of filo at a time, lightly brush with butter, top with another sheet, and lightly brush with butter again. Repeat so there are 3 to 4 layers of filo evenly stacked on top of one another. Roll 1 leg inside the stacked and brushed filo, leaving the bone end of the drumstick exposed. Brush lightly with butter and repeat with remaining filo and drumsticks.
• Return to the oven and bake until golden and crispy, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Bone drumsticks completely, or ask your butcher to bone them for you. Remove all bones, cartilage and tendons, but be sure to keep skin intact. Season inside and out with salt and pepper. In a mixing bowl combine next 10 ingredients. Mix thoroughly. Divide stuffing among drumsticks, stuffing each drumstick evenly under skin. Place in a roasting pan, skin side up. Roast for 30 minutes, basting once after 15 minutes with softened butter, or until skin is golden brown and puffy. Remove drumsticks to a warm platter, cover and keep warm while preparing sauce.
• Place roasting pan over high heat. Add stock and deglaze, scraping up browned bits and incorporating them into sauce. Boil until half of liquid evaporates. Whisk in butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, until incorporated and sauce is lightly thickened.
• Serve turkey on warm dinner plates, surrounded with sauce and sprinkled with parsley.
