Pan Roasted Poussin With Yukon Gold Hash And Bone Marrow Sauce Recipes

PAN ROASTED POUSSIN WITH YUKON GOLD HASH AND BONE MARROW SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large saute pan. Season poussin with salt and pepper and sear on both sides until golden brown. Place the pan on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes, until cooked through. Remove the poussin from the pan and pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the fat.;
• Heat the duck fat in a large saute pan over high heat. Add the potatoes, season with salt and pepper and cook until lightly golden brown. Add the remaining ingredients and cook until heated through. Fold in the parsley and reseason with salt and pepper, to taste.;
• Place the saute pan with the chicken drippings on the stove and heat until almost smoking. Add the shallots and cook until lightly golden brown. Add the red wine and port and cook until reduced by 3/4. Add the chicken stock and reduce by half. Whisk in the bone marrow and season with salt and pepper, to taste.;

ROASTED HAMILTON POUSSIN WRAPPED WITH STREAKY BACON AND STUFFED WITH POTATOES AND SAGE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven and an appropriately sized roasting tray to 425 to 450 degrees. Boil your potatoes in salted water until perfectly cooked (don't overcook). Drain and allow to cool. Remove any fat from inside the chicken cavity. Wash and pat dry with kitchen paper. Slice your potatoes thickly, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, add your freshly torn herbs and enough olive oil just to coat. Toss over and then stuff your chickens with the potatoes. Place them into the tray with about 12 cloves of garlic and cook for 30 minutes. After this time the chicken should be looking as handsome as its inventor and the skin should be crisp and golden.
• At this point lay your streaky bacon snugly over the breast meat and add a 1/2 cup of wine to the pan to get some sticky marmitey juices happening. Cook for another 15 minutes. Remove the chicken from the oven. Take them out of the tray and allow them to rest for 5 minutes while you make a quick bit of gravy. I normally remove as much fat as possible from the tray before placing on gentle heat. Splash the remaining 1 cup of white wine into it. Then boil up and scrape away all the goodness from the sides of the tray. Simmer this for a couple of minutes until tasty. It's not a thick, robust gravy, just a tasty gesture. (Another nice option at this point is to add a little cream to the gravy which works really well.) Served with something nice and green like steamed spinach and the potatoes pulled out from the chickens.

ROASTED POUSSIN WITH SIXTEEN SPICES WITH CARAMELIZED MANGO-GARLIC SAUCE WITH FRIED PLANTAINS

Steps:

• For the Chicken: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Combine the spices in a medium bowl. Brush each poussin with oil and rub the spice mixture over the entire bird. In a hot large saute pan sear all sides of poussin, until golden. Place the birds on a rack over a baking sheet and roast the birds for 25 to 30 minutes, until just cooked through. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.
• For the Mango Sauce: Place stock in a medium saucepan over high heat and reduce to 4 cups. Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the onions and cook until soft. Add the roasted garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the mango, and cook for 2 minutes. Add the reduced stock and brown sugar and cook slowly over medium heat until the mango is very soft, and falling apart, 30 to 40 minutes. Place the mixture, in batches, in a blender and blend until smooth. Strain the mixture into a clean saucepan, whisk in the roasted garlic and cook for 10 to15 minutes until reduced and slightly thickened. Stir in the cilantro and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• For the Plantains: Heat oil in a cast iron skillet to 365 degrees F. Fry the plantains in batches until golden brown. Remove them with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towels and season with salt to taste.

BONE MARROW MASH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the bones, cut-side up, onto a baking sheet and cook the marrow until soft and slightly separating from the bone, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, boil salted water for potatoes and let them cook until soft, about 25 minutes.
• Remove the marrow bones and keep aside. Drain the potatoes and add the melted butter and cream. Mash until smooth. Using a spoon, scoop out the marrow with the juices and add to the mash. Add the parsley and season with salt and pepper.
