Tarragon And Thyme Oil Recipes

Steps:

• In a very large casserole, roasting pan or plastic tub, combine honey, vinegar, sugar, peppercorns, salt and dried tarragon. Add onion, garlic, lemon and five quarts of water. Submerge rolled turkey breast in mixture, adding 1 to 2 more quarts as needed to cover breast with liquid. Refrigerate overnight, preferably for 24 hours.
• Remove turkey from brine, and place on a rack for 30 minutes to drain and come to room temperature. Meanwhile, heat oven to 400 degrees. In a saucepan combine olive oil and fresh tarragon, and place over medium-low heat until oil begins to sizzle. Remove from heat, and allow to sit for 10 minutes.
• Transfer tarragon from oil to a clean roasting pan. Pat turkey dry with paper towels, and place on top of tarragon. Pour oil over turkey, and rub by hand until meat is completely covered with oil. Roast for two hours. No basting is necessary.
• Remove pan from oven. Transfer turkey to a sheet of foil, and allow it to cool for 20 minutes. Remove, and discard strings, wrap turkey in foil, and refrigerate until chilled, at least one hour. To serve, cut into slices.

Steps:

• Combine 2 tablespoons lemon juice with next 7 ingredients (mustard- salt) in blender.
• Blend until thick (2 minutes).
• Gradually add in oil, blending an additional minute.
• Add remaining lemon juice (2 tablespoons) and blend again to combine.
• Store in covered jar or contained in refrigerator until ready to use.

Steps:

• To make the pastry, sieve the flour into a bowl and stir in a pinch of salt and the sugar. Rub the butter into the flour using your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Using a cutlery knife, stir in just enough cold water to bring the pastry together into a dough (you can use up to 5-6 tbsp). Form the dough into a ball and flatten into a disc. Wrap and chill in the fridge for 30 mins.
• For the filling, cook the onions with the oil and thyme leaves in a frying pan over a medium heat for 20 mins until the onions have softened and are translucent but not coloured. Season, remove from the heat and leave to cool.
• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Roll the chilled pastry out on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle, around 3mm thick. Transfer the pastry rectangle to a large baking tray, spoon the onion filling into the centre and spread it out evenly, leaving a 5cm border around the edges. Sprinkle over the tarragon, then arrange the courgette slices over the onions in overlapping rows. Season the courgettes and sprinkle with some extra thyme.
• Fold the sides of the pastry over so they're overlapping the edge of the filling, leaving the middle exposed. Gently press the pastry folds down at the corners to secure them, then brush the pastry with the beaten egg. Bake the galette for 40-50 mins until the pastry is golden brown and the courgettes are soft and slightly golden. Leave to cool and firm up for a few minutes before serving. Will keep chilled for up to three days. Leave to cool first.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500°F. Combine oil, garlic and tarragon in small bowl. Coat chicken pieces with oil mixture. Arrange chicken on baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper. Bake chicken 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 375°F. Bake until chicken is just cooked through, about 30 minutes longer.
