Marcella Hazan, an Italian culinary writer, famously said that a recipe is the congealed record of a spontaneous deed. This implies that every time you prepare the same dish, it will always be somewhat different from the previous time you cooked it, due to factors such as changes in fruit, ingredients, and even your mood. Recipes are only samples of how to prepare certain items. Do not be concerned if you need to alter the ingredients in a recipe; just ensure that the dish's essence is kept. The more dishes you master, the more creative methods you will learn to cook.
Jamie Oliver's renowned recipe for chicken cooked in milk is one I've wanted to try for a long time. It's completely enthralling. The idea of browning an entire chicken and then cooking it gently in milk and sage until it actually slips off the bone appeals to me on every level. Not until I considered a cuisine that would match nicely with the De Wetshof Estate Bon Vallon Chardonnay did I realize this was the one, and I was correct. I followed the recipe exactly as written on Jamie's website, rather than the most current video version, in which he browned the chicken in a lot of butter first and then discards it. This seemed like a waste, so I followed his first recommendation and used olive oil. After frying the butter, add the lemon zest, sage, garlic, and cinnamon, which releases the amazing aromatics, before adding the milk and chicken back in.
This hearty and easy meal from Jamie Oliver has an unexpected punch of flavor owing to the inclusion of rosemary and orange zest. Mr. Oliver cooks his in a pressure cooker, but if you don't have one, it may be cooked for around 3 hours in a covered Dutch oven over low heat or in a 275 degree oven. Occasionally, stir. âAmanda Hesser âAmanda Hesser âAmanda Hesser Featured in: Jamie Oliver's The Chef; 'Spag Bol,' For Real And Imagined Italians.
