Cochon Sauce Piquant Recipes

Steps:

• Heat 1/4 cup of the olive oil in large heavy nonstick pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with 1 teaspoon of the salt. In a bowl combine the Essence with 1/2 cup of the flour and stir to combine. Dredge the chicken pieces in the seasoned flour mixture and shake to remove any excess flour. Brown the pieces, in batches if necessary, until golden on all sides, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
• Stir in the onions, bell peppers, celery, remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, crushed red pepper flakes, cayenne, and bay leaves. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft and lightly golden, about 5 minutes. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of the flour and cook, stirring, to cook the flour without browning, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, chicken stock, Worcestershire, and pepper sauce.
• Return the chicken to the pot, increase the heat under the sauce to medium-high and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fall-from the bone tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove and discard the bay leaves.
• To serve, spoon the rice onto plates, top with the chicken and sauce, and garnish with the green onions and parsley.
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

• 7. Note: you can accomplish this same dish in a slow cooker. I recommend pan searing chopped chicken and sautéing onions, celery and bellpepper. Remember to add sliced green onions and parsley right before serving!

Steps:

• Mix flour and Creole seasoning together in a shallow bowl. Dredge chicken through the flour mixture, shaking of excess.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium-heat. Cook chicken in the hot oil until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Add diced tomatoes with green chile peppers, pickles, vinegar, capers, and garlic to chicken; simmer until chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 10 minutes more.

Steps:

• In a small bowl combine half the garlic, half the thyme, half the sage, salt and pepper to taste. Rub the mixture on to the chops and chill, covered, 30 minutes, or overnight.
• Dredge the chops in the flour, shaking off excess. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over moderately high heat. Add the chops and cook them from 1 to 2 minutes on each side or until brown. Drain fat and transfer the chops to a platter.
• Add the butter to the skillet and heat it until melted. Add the onion and remaining garlic and herbs and cook the mixture, stirring for 2 minutes or until softened. Add the wine and reduce it by half. Add the beef broth and tomato paste and stir the sauce until it is well combined. Return the chops to the skillet and simmer, covered for 10 minutes or until tender. Transfer the chops to a platter, add the olives, capers and mustard and simmer for 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in parsley. Pour juices from pork platter back into the skillet, stir to combine and spoon sauce over the chops.

• When grease is hot, slowly whisk in the flour.
• Stir constantly until the roux turns the color of caramel, the darker the better. About 30 minutes.

• Remove the chicken from the oil.
• In another frying pan, saute onions,celery, bell pepper and garlic until opaque looking and slightly limp.
• To the vegetable mixture, add your chicken which has slightly cooled.
• Add tomatoes and water to the mixture, then lower the flame allowing mixture to simmer for for one hour, stirring about every 10 minutes.
• Serve with rice.
• If you like yours to be a bit thicker, use 2 cans of diced tomatoes and 1 can (8 ounce) tomato paste and 1 cup water.

Steps:

• Add the peanut oil to a very hot pressure cooker pot. Brown the cut up chicken pieces nicely on all sides.
• Add all the rest of the ingredients to the pot and stir to blend.
• The amount of Louisiana Hot Sauce you add determines how "piquante" your dish will be. Start off with a little, you can always add more at the table when the meal is served.
• Place lid on pressure cooker tightly. Put pressure regulator weight in place. Leave heat under cooker on high until the weight begins to jiggle. Lower heat immediately to a level that keeps the weight just barely moving. Time from this point on for 12 minutes. Remove pot from heat and cool.
• When the pressure has been reduced, open the pot and place back on the burner. Stir the ingredients very gently to distribute and check the consistency of the sauce. If it is too thin, turn the fire up high and reduce the liquid. If it is too thick, add a little water.
• Serve the Sauce Piquante over hot fluffy rice with extra Louisiana Hot Sauce on the side for those who like it fiery hot.

Steps:

• Mix thoroughly.
