Cocotte Of Vegetables Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Pour the olive oil into the bottom of a heavy Dutch oven, and place over medium heat. Sprinkle the chicken pieces with salt and black pepper, and cook in the hot oil until browned on both sides, 5 to 8 minutes per side. Add the carrots, potatoes, celery, onion, garlic, chicken bouillon cubes, and water, and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, and cover the Dutch oven.
• Place the Dutch oven into the preheated oven, and simmer, covered, until the vegetables are tender, about 45 minutes.

Steps:

• Cook bacon in heavy large pot over medium heat until crisp, about 8 minutes. Using tongs, remove bacon ( reserve for another use). Add broth and tomatoes to dripping. Increase heat and bring to boil. Add turnips and radishes; cook 2 minutes. Add carrots; cook 3 minutes. Add sugar snap peas and green beans; cook until all vegetables are crisp-tender, about 5 minutes longer. Using slotted spoon, transfer vegetables to bowl.
• Boil cooking liquid until thickened, about 8 minutes. Add lettuce, peas and cooked vegetables. Stir until lettuce wilts. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Boil water in a kettle.
• Grease a small lidded casserole dish with olive oil. Distribute diced ham over the bottom and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon Gruyere cheese. Pour cream on top and season with a little pepper.
• Crack eggs into the casserole dish one at a time, making sure egg yolks remain intact. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon Gruyere cheese and fresh chives. Season with salt and pepper. Cover casserole dish and place into a roasting pan. Pour in enough boiling water so it reaches about halfway up the casserole dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 9 minutes with the lid on. Uncover and continue baking until the egg whites are just set but the yolks are still runny, 3 to 6 additional minutes.
