Black And Gold Recipes

BLACK AND GOLD CHICKEN WITH DIRTY RICE AND BLACK BEAN AND CORN SALSA

Steps:

• Break down chickens to get 4 breasts on the bone (with skin) and 4 leg-thigh pieces. Trim all fat and skin from the carcasses and hack into small pieces.
• In a small bowl, combine chili powder, ground cumin, fennel pollen, white pepper, and fine salt. Rub all over chicken breasts, cover and keep refrigerated.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for indirect grilling. Season chicken legs with salt and pepper, wrap in aluminum foil to form a pouch. Grill away from the heat source until chicken is very tender, about 1 hour.
• Place the chicken bones, dried mushrooms, carrots, celery, onion and salt in cheesecloth and tie off with twine. Add beer and water to stock pot and toss in tied up bones. Bring to a boil and lower to a simmer. Simmer for 2 hours. Remove tied up bones.
• After the legs have cooked for 1 hour, remove from grill. Discard skin and bones, shred chicken meat and set aside. Place dry rubbed chicken breast on grill skin side down over direct heat. Grill chicken, turning once, until cooked through about 5 to 6 minutes per side. Meanwhile, in a saucepan, heat Barbecue Sauce to simmering. Stir in leg meat.
• When the dish is 5 minutes away from finished, measure out 4 cups hot stock into a clean saucepan. Return to simmer, add white rice, cover and remove from heat. Let sit 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
• Slice chicken breast, serve over rice with leg meat and Corn and Black Bean Salsa.
• Combine all ingredients in a large bowl.
• In a mixing bowl, toss all of the ingredients together and let sit for 1 hour.

BLACK GOLD COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F..
• In a double boiler or a metal bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water melt unsweetened chocolate, 9 ounces semisweet chocolate, and butter, stirring occasionally, and remove top of double boiler or bowl from heat.
• In a bowl with an electric mixer beat eggs with sugar until light and fluffy. Add espresso powder, vanilla, and chocolate mixture, beating until smooth.
• In a small bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt and add to chocolate mixture, beating until just combined. Stir in remaining semisweet chocolate and nuts until combined well.
• Scoop out 1/2-cup measures of cookie dough, arranging them 3 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake cookies in batches in middle of oven 25 minutes, or until tops begin to crack (do not overbake). Cool cookies on a rack.

BLACK AND GOLD PIZZAS

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. Broil bread until one side is toasted, about 1 minute. Spread second side with butter; sprinkle with freshly ground pepper. Broil bread until golden brown, about 2 minutes.
• Spread crème fraîche over bread slices. Sprinkle chives in diagonal line across center of each. Spoon golden caviar on one side of chives, black on other side and then serve.

BLACK AND GOLD ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add cubed sweet potatoes and cook until just fork tender. Drain and reserve.
• Drain beans if necessary.
• Saute onions in fat of your choice. When they are tender add the garlic and cook for a couple minutes. Combine onions, potatoes and beans. Season with salt if necessary. Moisten with a spoonful or so of enchilada sauce if desired.
• Heat tortillas in a griddle or oven until they are all soft.
• Moisten the bottom of the pan with sauce. Construct the enchiladas by sprinkling a little bit of cheese in each tortilla, spoon 2-4 tablespoons of filling and roll tortilla up and place in pan. Repeat until the pan is full.
• Spoon as much sauce as you want over the top. We used approximately 3/4 cup of sauce. Make sure that most of the tortilla is moistened with sauce. Sprinkle top as much cheese as you want.
• Bake at 350 until cheese is melted and everything is hot.
