WHISKEY-GLAZED CHICKEN AND SHRIMP WITH GARLIC MASHED POTATOES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Drizzle the halved head of garlic with the olive oil and season with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Wrap the garlic in foil.
• Bake for 40-50 minutes, until the garlic cloves are golden and tender. Set aside to cool.
• Season the chicken on both sides with 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper.
• Add the eggs and panko to 2 shallow dishes.
• Coat the chicken breasts in the eggs, then dredge in the bread crumbs, making sure bread crumbs adhere to the chicken.
• Heat 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, add the chicken to the hot oil and cook until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, 5-8 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside. Wipe out the pan to remove any remaining oil and bread crumbs.
• Season the shrimp with ¼ teaspoon pepper and ½ teaspoon salt. Coat the shrimp in the eggs, then dredge in the bread crumbs, making sure the bread crumbs adhere to the shrimp.
• Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons of oil in the same pan over medium heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside. Wipe out the pan to remove any remaining oil and bread crumbs.
• Make the whiskey glaze: Squeeze the cloves from one half of the roasted garlic head into a medium bowl. Using the back of a fork, mash the garlic cloves into a paste. Add the pineapple juice, water, soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, and brown sugar. Whisk until the sugar dissolves.
• Pour the sauce into the same skillet and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Once simmering, whisk in the lemon zest and juice, onion, crushed pineapple, whiskey, and cayenne. Gently simmer for 20-30 minutes, or until the sauce is thick and syrupy.
• While sauce is cooking, make the mashed potatoes: Add the potatoes to a large pot and cover with cold water by 1 inch (2 ½ cm). Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until fork-tender, about 20 minutes.
• Drain the potatoes and return to the warm pot. Add the remaining half head of roasted garlic cloves. Mash into the potatoes with a potato masher or wooden spoon. Add the butter and cream and stir to incorporate. Season with the remaining salt and pepper.
• Return the chicken and shrimp to the skillet and turn to coat in the sauce. Transfer the chicken and shrimp to plates with a few spoonfuls of the mashed potatoes and garnish with the parsley.
• Enjoy!

SCOTTISH STEAK BALMORAL AND LAPHROAIG WHISKEY SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter and reduce the heat to medium. Pan fry the steaks 4 to 6 minutes per side, or to personal taste. Be careful not to overcook your steaks. Remove steaks to a plate, season with salt and pepper, and keep them warm.
• Add the whisky, honey, cream, and beef stock to the pan, and bring to a boil. Now add the mushrooms and reduce heat to a steady simmer. Cook until the sauce is reduced by about half, stirring from time to time.
• Stir in the chopped green onions and the mustard, cook briefly until onions are softened and sauce is heated through.
• Serve the steaks with the whisky sauce poured over them; garnish with snipped fresh parsley, and decorate with purple heather, as desired. Lovely!

• Place the steaks into a marinating dish. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, beef aromatics, bay leaf, 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh herbs of own choice, 1 glass of Irish whiskey and 3 to 4 ounces of melted butter and allow to marinate in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 hours
• Remove steak from marinade and place on hot grill or pan, sealing both sides of the steak and cook to required taste.

Then add 3 large finely chopped fresh tomatoes, 3 tablespoons of tomato puree, sprinkling of herbs and allow to simmer for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring gently. Now add 1 cup of fresh cream and stir gently with wooden spoon for 3 minutes. Then add the steaks to the sauce and flambe with 1 glass of remaining whiskey.

STEAK BALMORAL AND WHISKY SAUCE FROM THE WITCHERY BY THE CASTLE

Steps:

• Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat, then add the butter and green peppercorns and cook until the peppercorns release their aroma, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add the steaks to the pan and cook to taste, then remove them and keep them warm.
• Add the whisky to the buttery steak juices in the pan and carefully set it alight, flambe it until the flames die down; then add the honey (if using), cream, stock and mushrooms and bring to a boil, reducing the heat to a gentle simmer.
• Simmer gently until the sauce has reduced by half, stirring from time to time to ensure that the mushrooms do not stick. Add the mustard, stirring well and season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Serve the steaks with the sauce poured over the top and a selection of seasonal greens or a salad with chips (French fries) or a baked jacket potato.
• NB: The honey is optional, it adds a mellow flavour to the sauce if you feel the whisky makes the sauce a little too bitter - it does not add a vast amount of sweetness, so you can add it as an option.

WHISKEY POT ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
• Generously sprinkle the chuck roast with salt and pepper.

• Add the carrots and onions to the pot and cook until brown, 1 to 3 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and cook, stirring, for another minute. Turn off the heat and add the whiskey, deglazing and scraping the bottom of the pot. Place the roast back into the pot and add enough beef stock to cover the meat halfway. Add the rosemary and thyme.
• Cover the pot with the lid, transfer to the oven and roast until the meat is fall-apart tender, about 4 hours. Break the beef apart with tongs or whatever cutlery you have on hand and serve with some of the carrots from the pot, the whiskey sauce and a side of mashed potatoes.
