Chicken Bouillabaisse For The Slow Cooker Recipes

Steps:

• Combine onion, celery, carrot, 1 tablespoon olive oil, chopped garlic, lemon zest, 3/4 teaspoon salt, pepper, saffron, fennel seeds, and herbes de Provence in a bowl; add chicken and turn to coat. Cover bowl and refrigerate until flavors combine, at least 15 minutes.
• Transfer chicken mixture to a stainless steel pot; add potatoes, tomatoes, water, and white wine. Cover and bring to a boil; reduce heat to low and simmer for 25 minutes. Add sausage and cook for 5 minutes. Stir tarragon and liqueur into pot.
• Remove half of a cooked potato and 1/4 cup liquid from the pot and place in a food processor; add peeled garlic, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Process until smooth, about 10 seconds. Add egg yolk and keep processor running; pour in 1/2 cup olive oil slowly until incorporated and rouille is smooth. Season with salt.
• Serve bouillabaisse in warmed soup plates with a spoonful of rouille drizzled on top.

Steps:

• Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and season it generously with salt, pepper, and the rosemary. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat in a large Dutch oven and brown the chicken pieces in batches until nicely browned all over, about 5 to 7 minutes per batch. Transfer the browned chicken pieces to a plate and set aside.
• Lower the heat to medium-low and add the garlic, saffron, fennel seeds, tomato puree, chicken stock, white wine, Pernod, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon of pepper to the pot. Stir and scrape up any browned bits on the bottom, and simmer for 30 to 40 minutes, until the garlic is very tender, stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Carefully pour the sauce into the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Puree until smooth. Return the sauce to the Dutch oven and add the sliced potatoes and browned chicken pieces with their juices. Stir carefully.
• Cover the pot and bake for 45 to 55 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and the chicken is done. Check the seasonings and serve hot in shallow bowls with big dollops of Rouille and slices of crusty bread.
• Place the garlic and salt on a cutting board and mince together. Transfer the mixture to a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Add the egg yolk, lemon juice, saffron, and red pepper flakes. Process until smooth.
• With the machine running, pour the olive oil in a thin, steady stream through the feed tube to make a thick mayonnaise emulsion. Transfer the rouille to a serving bowl and store it in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Make the rouille: In a blender or food processor, finely chop the peppers and garlic. Add the mayonnaise, oil, lemon juice and cayenne and process until smooth. Store the sauce in a covered jar in the refrigerator.
• In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook until tender and golden, about 8 minutes. Add the wine and bring to a simmer. Pour the mixture into a large slow cooker. Stir in the tomato, puree, orange zest, saffron and fennel.
• Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Place the pieces in the slow cooker, spooning some of the sauce over the top. Cover and cook on low 6 hours or until the chicken is tender and coming away from the bone.
• Serve the chicken and sauce in shallow bowls with the toast and Rouille.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large casserole. Saute the onions in the olive oil for about 5 minutes or until softened. Add tomatoes, broth, wine, garlic, bouquet garni and saffron. Bring to a simmer. Add potatoes, carrots and chicken, season to taste with salt and pepper. Bring the soup back to a simmer, cover the pan and simmer gently just until the chicken and vegetables are cooked through, about 45 minutes.
• While this is cooking through, make the rouille which accompanies it.
• Note that potatoes freeze badly. If you are making this in a double batch in advance and want to freeze it, make it without the potatoes and simmer broth for 40 minutes only or until carrots are tender and chicken is done. If you are serving half the recipe that night, cook some potatoes separately and add them to the soup later. Freeze leftovers and on day of reheating it, cook potatoes separately and add to a broth after it is reheated.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan, and add the onions, leeks, chopped tomatoes, and garlic. Cook and stir over a low heat for a few minutes until all vegetables are soft.
• Stir in the fennel, thyme, bay leaf, and orange zest. Add shellfish and boiling water; stir to combine. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Turn up the heat to high, and boil for about 3 minutes to allow the oil and water to combine.
• Add fish, and reduce the heat to medium. Continue cooking for 12 to 15 minutes, or until fish is cooked. The fish should be opaque and tender, but still firm. Fish should not be falling apart.
• Taste the bouillabaisse and adjust the seasoning. Stir in saffron, and then pour soup into a warmed tureen or soup dishes. Serve immediately.
