Panisses With Sage Leaves And Lemon Recipes

PANISSES WITH SAGE LEAVES AND LEMON

Steps:

• Pour 2 Tbsp. oil into an 8x8" baking pan; set aside. Bring a pinch of kosher salt and 4 1/4 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Whisking constantly, gradually add chickpea flour. Once all the flour has been incorporated, reduce heat to low and cook mixture, whisking often to prevent scorching and to keep a skin from forming on top, until a thick lumpy porridge forms that is just starting to pull away from the sides of the saucepan, 20-25 minutes.
• Transfer mixture to a food processor (keep saucepan close at hand) and process until smooth and very glossy, about 45 seconds. Working quickly so mixture does not start to set, transfer back to saucepan, season with more kosher salt, and cook over low heat, whisking often to prevent any new lumps from forming, until you can see the bottom of pan while whisking and mixture no longer tastes raw, 10-15 minutes.
• Scrape mixture into prepared pan and quickly smooth top. Drizzle 1 Tbsp. oil over and cover with a sheet of parchment paper. Let cool, 1-1 1/2 hours (you can speed this up by chilling mixture until cold).
• Using the tip of a knife, slice mixture on an angle into 12 irregular strips of varying lengths and thicknesses. Heat remaining 1 1/2 cups oil in a medium skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium-high until the first wisp of smoke appears. Working in 2 or 3 batches, fry strips (if panisses are not submerged in oil, add more just to cover), turning several times, until puffed, crisp, and golden all over, about 5 minutes per batch. Transfer panisses to paper towels to drain and sprinkle with sea salt.
• Add sage to skillet and cook just until crisp, about 10 seconds, then transfer to paper towels to drain.
• Top warm panisses with sage and serve with lemon wedges.
• Panisse mixture (before cutting) can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.

ROSE WINE WITH SAGE AND LEMON

Steps:

• Combine the wine, sage, and lemon zest in a clear glass container. Cover and let stand at room temperature for 1 day. Strain the wine into a pitcher and discard the solids. Cover the wine and refrigerate until cold.

LEMON-SAGE CHICKEN CUTLETS

Steps:

• Slice each chicken breast in half horizontally to make 2 thin cutlets. Sprinkle lightly with water, place between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound until 1/4 inch thick. Season with salt and pepper.
• Pour some flour into a shallow dish and season with salt. Lightly beat the eggs with the lemon juice in another shallow dish.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Dredge the cutlets in the flour, shaking off any excess; dip in the lemon-egg mixture, coating both sides. Add the cutlets to the skillet and cook until golden on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Add the sage leaves to the skillet, then turn the cutlets and cook until golden on the other side, about 2 more minutes. Transfer the cutlets and sage to a paper towel-lined plate.
• Pour out any remaining oil from the skillet. Add the wine and chicken broth and cook over medium-high heat until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Add the butter and swirl until melted.
• Transfer the chicken to a platter. Top with the fried sage and drizzle with the pan sauce. Serve with lemon wedges and grains on the side.
• Toss 2 cups cubed winter squash and 1 pint cherry tomatoes with olive oil and salt on a baking sheet; roast at 425 degrees F until tender, 25 minutes. Meanwhile, combine 1 cup farro or barley in a saucepan with 1/2 teaspoon salt, a pinch of red pepper flakes, a bay leaf and enough water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a simmer over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium low and cook, uncovered, until al dente, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain the farro (remove the bay leaf) and toss with the squash, tomatoes, 1 tablespoon olive oil and 3 tablespoons each chopped parsley and grated pecorino. Season with salt and pepper.

PASTA WITH BUTTER, SAGE AND PARMESAN

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil; salt it. Cook pasta until it is tender, but not quite done.
• Meanwhile, place butter in a skillet or saucepan large enough to hold the cooked pasta; turn heat to medium, and add sage. Cook until butter turns nut-brown and sage shrivels, then turn heat to a minimum.
• When the pasta is just about done, scoop out a cup of the cooking water. Drain the pasta. Immediately add it to the butter-sage mixture, and raise heat to medium. Add 3/4 cup of the water, and stir; the mixture will be loose and a little soupy. Cook for about 30 seconds, or until some of the water is absorbed and the pasta is perfectly done.
• Stir in cheese; the sauce will become creamy. Thin it with a little more water if necessary. Season liberally with pepper and salt to taste, and serve immediately, passing more cheese at the table if you like.

ROASTED ASPARAGUS WITH SAGE AND LEMON BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450°. Toss the asparagus with the olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Spread on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 5 minutes, or until the spears are just tender when pierced with a knife.
• In a small skillet, melt the butter over moderately low heat. Add the sage leaves and cook, stirring often, until the butter is lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
• Transfer the asparagus to a warmed platter and spoon the sage-lemon butter on top. Garnish with the lemon zest, top with shavings of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and serve.
