Stewed Eel With Onions Honey And Raisins Recipes

Steps:

• Combine raisins and vinegar in small bowl; set aside. Cook onions in large saucepan of boiling water 5 minutes. Drain; cool slightly. Trim and peel onions.
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Heat 3 tablespoons oil in heavy large ovenproof pot over medium-low heat. Add onions and sauté until golden, about 10 minutes; transfer to large bowl. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Add 1 tablespoon oil to same pot. Working in batches, add chicken to pot and cook over medium-high heat until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Add chicken to bowl with onions. Add tomatoes with juices, broth, wine, coriander, honey, allspice, and 1 teaspoon pepper to pot. Bring to boil, scraping up any browned bits. Return chicken and onions to pot. Stir in bay leaves, orange peel, cinnamon stick and oregano. Cover tightly and bake until chicken is cooked through, about 1 hour.

Steps:

• Place dried mushrooms and 2 cups chicken stock in a small pot over medium-low heat.
• Heat the extra-virgin olive oil in a Dutch oven or high sided skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add garlic, crushed pepper, onions, carrots, celery, peppers, and eggplant to the pot as you chop them. Add the bay leaf, season with salt and pepper and cover the pot to sweat the vegetables out a little faster. Stir occasionally for 10 to 12 minutes then uncover and add the balsamic vinegar.
• Remove the reconstituted dried mushrooms to the pot with a slotted spoon. Pour in all but the last few tablespoons of mushroom stock. The last of the stock can hold a little loose grit from the dried mushrooms. Add tomatoes and break up with a wooden spoon. Simmer over low heat the last few minutes before serving. Adjust salt and pepper.
• Heat the remaining 2 cups stock with 1 cup milk, golden raisins and rosemary over medium high heat. Whisk in polenta and stir 3 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in honey, butter and cheese.

Steps:

• Sprinkle the eels with a little salt.
• Put the onions with 4 tablespoons oil in a large pan. Cook with the lid on over very low heat, stirring occasionally, until soft (they will stew in their own juice). It will take a long time because of the quantity. Take the lid off and cook, stirring often, until lightly golden. Add the cinnamon, saffron, honey, lemon juice, raisins, and a little salt and pepper. Stir well, and cook gently for 5 minutes.
• In a large skillet, sauté the eel in butter and the remaining tablespoon of oil, sprinkling with salt and pepper, until just cooked through. Serve on a bed of onions with couscous.
