Chicken Ginger Sausage Studded With Truffle Recipes

Steps:

• Soak ginger in cold water 10 minutes; drain.
• Heat oil in a skillet over high heat; brown chicken in two batches, 6 to 8 minutes. Set aside.
• In same skillet over medium heat, cook ginger, onion, and garlic, stirring until browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Add soy sauce, vinegar, and sugar; cook over high heat until thick, 3 to 4 minutes. Add chicken; stir to warm. Remove from heat; stir in scallions.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Place one chicken breast half at a time between sheets of plastic wrap, wax paper or, preferably, split-open plastic bags. Pound the breasts with a flat, heavy mallet, making them flat, but do not break the flesh of the breasts.
• Shape one-quarter pound of the sausage meat at a time into an oval. Place the sausage in the middle of a breast half and wrap to enclose it thoroughly, envelope fashion. Repeat with remaining sausage meat and breast halves.
• Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Dredge lightly in flour and shake off excess.
• Heat the butter in a heavy skillet and add the chicken rolls. Cook, turning as often as necessary to brown lightly on all sides, about five minutes.
• Remove the chicken rolls to a baking dish.
• Add the onion and garlic to the skillet. Cook, stirring, until wilted. Add the wine and cook down until the wine is reduced by half.
• Add the bay leaf, thyme, tomatoes and tomato paste and stir to blend. Cook about one minute and add the chicken broth. Cook down about five minutes and pour the sauce over the chicken rolls.
• Place in the oven and bake 20 minutes. Serve sprinkled with chopped parsley.

Steps:

• Grind the chicken with the fatback using fine blade of meat grinder.
• Sauté onion in butter until it is soft. Do not allow butter to color.
• Add onion, foie gras, truffles, chives and ginger to chicken mixture. Mix well.
• Stir in egg whites and cream. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Using sausage stuffer, stuff casings. Twist and tie every 4 to 5 inches.
• Poach sausages in chicken stock very slowly for 15 minutes. Cool in stock. To serve, reheat in poaching liquid.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Heat about a tablespoon of fat in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender, about 10 minutes. Set the mushrooms aside to cool.
• Combine the thyme and rosemary and rub the mixture over the boned (skinless) side of the chicken. Season the skin side with salt and pepper. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons fat in a large ovenproof skillet, over medium-high heat. Working in batches if necessary, brown the chicken, skin-side down until the skin is crisp, 7 to 10 minutes.
• Lay a slice of foie gras (if using) over the thigh of each chicken. Fold the breasts over the thighs so that the breasts sit on the thigh and leg meat and the skin is on the outside. Fit a metal ring over each chicken-half to hold the meat in a compact shape.
• Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast, basting the chicken several times with pan juices. Cook until the thighs reach and internal temperature of at least 140 degrees F. and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside to rest for 10 minutes in a warm place.
• Pour off all but about 2 tablespoons the fat from the skillet. Add the mushrooms, truffle oil, and cream and heat over medium-high heat, scraping any browned bits from the pan's bottom. Simmer until the cream reduces enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon, then season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
• Remove the molds from the chicken and arrange on warm plates. Spoon the sauce around the chicken and serve with French green beans, carrots, and ratatouille if desired.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450 degrees and, if you like, line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, toss together pineapple, sugar, oil, ginger, lime zest, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, allspice and cayenne until well combined. Stir in three-quarters of the onions. (Reserve remaining onions for serving.)
• Spread pineapple mixture onto the sheet pan in one layer. Nestle sausages among the pineapple mixture. Roast until fruit is caramelized and sausages are browned and cooked through, about 30 minutes. Halfway through baking, flip the sausages and toss the pineapple mixture.
• Meanwhile, make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, combine lime juice, garlic, ginger and a big pinch each of salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in oil. Taste and season with more salt and lime juice if you'd like.
• Pull the pan out of the oven, drizzle vinaigrette over sausages and pineapple, and toss gently to combine. Garnish with reserved onion and cilantro, and serve.

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add chicken to the wok, and stir-fry until chicken is opaque on all sides, about 3 minutes. Remove to a plate.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in the wok. Add bell pepper, onion, and snow peas; stir-fry until vegetables start to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low.
• Whisk together water, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, sherry, ginger, rice vinegar, sesame oil, oyster sauce, sugar, cornstarch, and garlic in a bowl. Add sauce to the wok, stirring constantly until sauce starts to thicken. Add chicken back to the wok, stir, and reheat, 1 to 2 minutes.

Steps:

• Carefully pull the skin on the chicken legs away from the flesh, trying not to break the skin, then rub ¼ tbsp butter between the skin and flesh on each leg. Carefully put half of the truffle discs on top of the butter, or smear on some truffle paste and smooth back the skin. Season the skin, then set aside in the fridge.
• Heat the double cream and stock together with the garlic cloves, remaining truffle, bay and sage then, once simmering, set aside to infuse for 30 mins.
• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and butter the inside of a shallow baking dish that will fit both chicken legs. Layer the potatoes, adding the truffle slices from the cream between the layers along with some seasoning, then strain over the infused cream and stock mixture. Sprinkle over the parseman and scatter over the remaining sage leaves. Place the chicken legs on top, brush with melted butter, then roast for 1 hr or until the potatoes are cooked and the chicken golden and cooked through. Allow to rest for 10 mins, letting the chicken juices drip into the potatoes, then serve with a watercress salad.
