SLOW-COOKER LEMON-PEPPER CHICKEN WITH GREEN OLIVES AND POTATOES
Buttery olives, rich chicken, creamy potatoes in a luscious sauce brightened up with lemon and fresh herbs-this isn't just a tasty dinner, this recipe is also a lesson in great slow cooking. We say this because it uses several techniques to maximize flavor, while still delivering on the hands-off convenience that slow cookers promise. Here's what we mean: This recipe starts with browning the chicken on the stove-we know, we know, this doesn't seem very convenient, but bear with us-browning is a chemical reaction that creates flavor, and it can't happen inside a slow cooker, which cooks at too low a temperature for this process to occur. So yes, you have to wash a skillet, but it will pay off in terms of flavor-and the washing is actually made easy because of the deglazing step. But before we get to that, there are the onions. As long as the skillet is dirty, it makes sense to sauté the onions as well. Onions that go into the slow cooker raw can end up undercooked and acrid-tasting, so browning the onions in the chicken fat left behind in your skillet is setting you up for success. Adding some broth, after you've cooked and removed the onions, will allow you to scrape up the browned bits stuck to the bottom of the skillet-and those little bits are cooking gold. Adding the deglazing liquid to the slow cooker means all the complex flavor you've developed through the simple act of browning will infuse the finished dish. And like we said, washing your skillet is a breeze after deglazing because you've already gotten rid of the sticky bits without any scrubbing. With such a flavorful start, your dish only needs low heat and time to cook up into something truly excellent and absolutely impressive.

UNBELIEVABLY CREAMY GARLIC & GREEN OLIVE PASTA
Recipes are an illusion. Gourmet Cooking doubly so. At least that's my story for now. There are no amounts for this recipe, thus the illusion. Quantities are constantly in flux when I prepare this for my family, depending on how much garlic I have, how many olives I feel like chopping, whether I remembered to buy Parmesan cheese yesterday, and what shoes I'm wearing. Not too long after we married, my husband and I really got into watching "The Frugal Gourmet" on PBS. On one of the first shows we watched, Jeff Smith prepared this dish. I practically freaked out trying to write this down, since I had not yet learned my laid-back, pinch o' this, handful o' that way of cooking. He was just tossing things in the pan! How can you COOK like that? (Just fine, thankyouverymuch) At that time I was trying to make myself into a gourmet cook, so I bought the whole green olives and pitted them myself. I bought the wedge of Parmigiano-Reggiano that played havoc with the week's grocery money, grating it over the top, with my own freshly Band-Aid-ed fingers, just before serving. I got over it. Nowadays, I just have fun in the kitchen, and we manage to eat pretty well, gourmet cook or no. So, here it is, the way I make it now. More or less.

Steps:
- Put on a big pot of water to boil.
- Pick out your pasta, cook it al dente and keep it hot You can use spaghetti, capellini, vermicelli, or linguini, whatever you prefer.
- After you've made this once, and you know how long it takes for you to make the sauce, you make everything come up ready at the same time.
- Get some green olives.
- Any kind you want, really.
- I just get a bottle of cheap salad olives.
- There are usually a lot of pimento pieces floating around in there.
- We like the color, but I'm afraid the ol' Frugal Gourmet would NOT approve.
- You can get a bit fancier if you want.
- Chop up the olives a bit, not tiny.
- Next the garlic.
- OK, you HAVE to use fresh for this, no powder, not even the jar of pre-chopped.
- Those are okay for some things, and I do use them often.
- However, if you use anything other than fresh garlic in this recipe, you will not be impressed, and you will never make this again.
- I will weep.
- Don't do that to me.
- Take your fresh garlic clove, wrap it in that flat rubber disc you use to open jars.
- Just roll it up in there, then roll it back and forth on the countertop a few times.
- Unwrap it, and the peel should be off or mostly off.
- Do this with lots of garlic cloves.
- LOTS.
- At least a couple per person you're feeding.
- Slice the garlic, but not too thinly.
- In a hot non-stick sauté pan, put a little olive oil, the fresh sliced garlic and a lot of chopped green olives.
- Be generous.
- A handful per person is a good start.
- Sauté the garlic and olives just a bit, being careful not to let the garlic brown, or it may become bitter.
- Add some light cream, and bring to a simmer.
- Cook over low heat until the liquid has been reduced by almost half, and it is thick, stirring very often.
- Pour this over the hot pasta, sprinkle generously with parmesan, chopped parsley (fresh is best, but I usually only have dried) and black pepper, preferably fresh from the pepper mill.
- Toss.
- Serve immediately.
- Bow.
- But be humble.
