PAN-ROASTED MONKFISH WITH WILD MUSHROOM STUFFED YUKON GOLD POTATOES, SAUTEED SPINACH AND RED WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine salt, pepper, thyme, orange zest, and olive oil. Add red wine and mix well. Place in plastic bag with monkfish, seal and marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heat the butter in a nonstick pan. Add the garlic and saute in butter until lightly golden. Add mushrooms and cook until the water has evaporated. Season with salt and pepper and cool.
• With an apple corer, make a hole lengthwise through the potato saving the core. Fill the potato with enough mushroom filling to pack the inside of the potato. Cut the ends of the cores off and use as caps to seal off the ends of the potato. Rub olive oil, salt and pepper on the potatoes. Wrap in foil and bake for 45 minutes.
• Prepare sauce by reducing red wine, balsamic vinegar, shallots, and bay leaf until lightly thickened. Add the veal stock and bring to a simmer. Strain, whisk in cold butter and season with salt and pepper.
• Remove fish from the marinade. Pat dry and season with salt. In a large skillet, heat 4 tablespoons olive oil until very hot over high heat. Add fish and brown on all sides. Finish cooking in the oven until fish is cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes
• Saute spinach with olive oil in a large pan until wilted and season with salt and pepper.
• Place the spinach in piles in the center of 2 large plates. Place the fish around the spinach at the12 and 6 o'clock positions. Cut potatoes on the bias trimming the ends to lay flat and place at 9 and 3 o'clock positions. Pour the wine sauce over the fish and serve.

SAUTEED YUKON GOLD POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In medium saucepan bring several cups of water to boil on high heat. Add salt, rosemary sprigs and onion. Cook for a few minutes, then add potatoes. Cook 10 minutes or until potatoes are just fork-tender. Drain and discard rosemary sprigs and onion. Pat potatoes dry. In a medium skillet, heat olive oil on medium-high heat. Add chopped rosemary and potatoes; saute 2 minutes, just to coat with olive oil. Transfer to roasting pan and bake 15 minutes. Toss potatoes and baked and additional 10 minutes until crispy and golden brown.

PAN SAUTEED BUTTER CHICKEN AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Chicken:
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, to taste. In a medium oven-proof frying pan over high heat, add the oil and butter and stir to combine. Add garlic and thyme and cook until the butter is slightly browned. Add the chicken, skin side, down and let it sit in the pan so the skin becomes crispy and golden. While the skin is crisping up, spoon the hot butter/oil over the thighs. Once the skin is crisp, about 5 minutes, and releases from the pan easily, turn the chicken over. Continue cooking for another 5 minutes to sear the meat. Put in the oven and roast for approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Depending on how large the thighs are, check for doneness.
• Potatoes:
• Have an ice bath ready before beginning. Bring a medium stockpot of salted water to boil over medium heat. Blanch each of the varieties of potatoes and carrots; starting with the fingerlings, Yukon gold, carrots and purple Peruvians last. Cook each batch until tender, but still with a little bite. After blanching each set of vegetables, use a strainer remove all of the vegetables out of the water and dunk them in the ice water bath. Once they are cold to the touch, drain and set aside. Right before serving, get a medium fry pan heated over high heat, add the a little oil and some butter. Once the butter is melted and hot, add the potatoes and carrots and saute until heated through. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• For the Herbed Jus:
• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the oil and 1 tablespoon butter. When the butter has melted, add the onions, garlic and shallots. Cook slowly to soften and bring out the flavors. Do not burn the garlic. Reduce the heat to low if the mixture starts to brown. Stir in the Sauvignon Blanc and allow it to reduce by half. Add the chicken stock and continue cooking at a simmer to reduce again by half. Taste the jus and if it seems a bit too tart and sharp, add more butter to smooth it out. (If you want to make the jus into a thicker sauce, you can add some heavy cream.) Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, to taste. When the jus is ready, add the 1/4 cup parsley and 1/2 cup chives right before serving to maintain the bright green color.
• Assembly:
• Put a large serving spoon of heated, seasoned potatoes and carrots in the center of each serving plate, letting some of them spill to the edges. Arrange 1 chicken thigh on top of the vegetables, skin side up. Ladle the jus around each plate and garnish the top of the chicken with a small sprinkling of the minced parsley and chives.

YUKON GOLD MASHED POTATOES WITH ROASTED SHALLOTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place the shallots, oil, broth, thyme, pepper and salt in a small casserole dish. Cover and roast until the shallots are very soft and brown, about 45 minutes. Remove the casserole from the oven.
• Cook the potatoes in a large pot of boiling water until soft, about 20 minutes. Drain and place the potatoes back in the pot over low heat to dry.
• Heat the milk over medium low heat. Add it to the potatoes and beat with a mixer. Add the roasted shallots and beat again until potatoes are smooth.

PERFECT SAUTéED POTATOES

Steps:

• Cut 1 kg waxy potatoes into chunks.
• Bring a large pan of water to the boil, then cook the potatoes for 3 mins. Drain, shake out onto a kitchen paper-lined tray and leave to cool.
• When ready to serve, heat 6-8 tbsp sunflower or olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan until you can feel a strong heat rising.
• If your pan isn't large enough, fry the potatoes in two batches - rather than crowding them. Have kitchen paper ready to drain them on. Add the potatoes in a single layer, not too tightly packed.
• Turn the heat to medium-high, so that the potatoes sizzle, but don't stir until they start to brown underneath.
• Turn them all evenly 2 or 3 times until nicely browned all over - this can take about 7 mins.
• Then lift out with a fish slice or large slotted spoon to drain on more kitchen paper. Sprinkle with sea salt.
