Chicken And Spinach Potato Balls With Creamy Red Pepper Coulis Recipes

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add red pepper; cook and stir for 1 minute. Add onion and garlic; cook 1-1/2 minutes longer or until onion is tender. Add remaining ingredients; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until spinach is just wilted.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place chicken breasts on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 teaspoons olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon thyme. Roast until cooked through, 35 minutes. When cool enough to handle, shred chicken into pieces. In a small bowl, stir together lemon juice, shallot, garlic, 2 tablespoons oil, and remaining 1 teaspoon thyme; season dressing with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, in a medium pot, bring potatoes to a boil in salted water and cook until potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife, 5 to 7 minutes; drain well.
• In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 1/2 teaspoons oil over medium-high. Add half the potatoes in one layer. Cook, undisturbed, until potatoes are golden brown and crisp, then flip and cook other side, 5 minutes total. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining oil and remaining potatoes.
• In a large bowl, toss together chicken, potatoes, dressing, and spinach.

Steps:

• Prepare coulis: Puree peppers, parsley, mayonnaise, olive oil, hot pepper sauce, mustard, garlic, and salt in a blender until smooth. Pour sauce into a bowl and set aside. Cover and refrigerate if storing, up to 2 days. Bring sauce to room temperature before serving. Prepare the meal: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Simmer potatoes in chicken broth and 1 tablespoon butter until tender, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Season salmon with salt and pepper to taste, dredge salmon in flour, shaking off excess. Sear in butter and olive oil on med-high heat on one side until lightly browned, about 2-3 minutes. Turn over and finish in the oven, about 10 minutes. Wilt spinach in microwave. Assemble the meal - layer 1/2 potatoes on plate, sprinkle with 1/4 goat cheese, layer 1/2 of spinach on top, place 1/2 salmon on top of spinach, drizzle with the coulis, sprinkle with additional 1/4 of cheese. Repeat for second serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a medium saucepan, bring potatoes to a boil in salted water and cook until tender when pierced with a knife, 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, season chicken with salt, pepper, and thyme. In a large ovenproof skillet, heat 1 teaspoon olive oil over medium-high. Cook chicken, skin side down, until golden and crisp, 5 minutes. Flip, then add shallots; cook until chicken is browned, 5 minutes. Flip shallots, then transfer skillet to oven. Roast until chicken is cooked through, 15 minutes.
• Reserve 3/4 cup cooking water from potatoes. Drain potatoes and return to pan. Add 2 teaspoons oil, lemon zest, and reserved cooking water; season with salt and pepper and roughly mash.
• Transfer chicken and shallots to a platter and heat skillet over medium. Add remaining 1 teaspoon oil and garlic and stir until fragrant, 30 seconds. Gradually add spinach, and toss until wilted, 3 to 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Serve chicken with shallots, potatoes, and spinach.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Halve any large potatoes so they're all roughly the same size. Put in a pan of water, bring to the boil and simmer for 8-10 mins until tender. Drain.
• Tip the potatoes into a large roasting tray to sit in one snug layer. Drizzle with 1 tbsp oil, season and add the lemon zest, garlic, thyme and bay. Toss to coat the potatoes. Use a potato masher to gently crack each potato, being careful not to break them up too much. Place the chicken on top, rub with the rest of the oil and the paprika, then season. Roast for 45 mins until golden brown and cooked through.
• Meanwhile, make the creamed spinach. Boil the kettle and tip the spinach into a colander. Pour over the boiling water to wilt the leaves. Leave to cool.
• Heat the butter in a pan. Add the onion and cook for 8-10 mins until softened. Stir through the garlic for another minute, then the flour for another minute. Pour in the milk, a little at a time, stirring and adding more until you have a smooth sauce. Bring to a simmer and stir continuously until the sauce has thickened.
• Squeeze any liquid out of the spinach, then roughly chop. Add to the sauce along with the nutmeg. Season to taste. Transfer to a baking dish, top with the cheese, and bake for 15 mins until golden.
• Cover the chicken and rest for 5 mins. Set aside 2 legs to cool before chilling for lunch tomorrow. Serve the rest (1 full leg each per adult, a drumstick or thigh each for the children) with the potatoes and spinach alongside some carrots.
