And with Easter comes the tradition of coloring eggs. </p> <br> <br> <p> Eggs are a symbol of new life, rebirth and spring. But, easy as it may seem, there are a few tricks to getting perfect hard boiled eggs that peel easily. </p> <br> <br> <p> The first thing you ought to know is that really fresh eggs don't work well. So, when you buy your eggs in the market, let them sit in the refrigerator for a few days before you boil them. I realize that it would have been better if I had let you know this a few days BEFORE Easter, but as the saying goes...better late than never. </p> <br> <br> <p> Use large eggs. I have no specific reason for this other than I always use large eggs and know exactly how long it takes them to cook. Oh, and for what it's worth, I always get the most cage free, natural, free range chicken eggs that I can find. Yes, they are more expensive, but if you've ever done any research into the treatment of chickens, it will be hard for you to buy the regular commercial eggs without feeling guilty. Nuff said. </p> <br> <br> <p> Now for the eggs: </p> <p> To boil the eggs, put them in a single layer in a large saucepan. Don't stack them. Cover the eggs with 2 inces of COLD water. Using cold water keeps the eggs from cracking. </p> <br> <br> <p> Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt. This will also help with the cracking and peeling. </p> <br> <br> <p> Bring the water to a good boil (lots of bubbles rising to the surface without the eggs knocking together to crack them). </p> <br> <br> <p> Remove the pan from the heat. Cover with a tight fitting lid. Let sit for 15 minutes. Covered. </p> <br> <br> <p><You're done. </P> <br> <br> <p> Cool the eggs however you prefer. Strain them and let them cool to room temp, put them in an ice bath, ... </p> <br> <br> <br> <br> <p> Happy Happy Easter to you! May the holiday bring you renewal of mind, body and spirit. </p> <br> <br> <p> <img alt="The Muse Gourmet" src="/images/Muse.jpg"> </p> <p> <br> </p> ><img width="0" height="0" src="http://www.cookingthymes.com/aggbug.ashx?id=b1c34970-454a-4d1b-98e1-8975e2288974" /> <br /> <hr /> <a href="http://www.cookingthymes.com">The Muse Gourmet</a> Budget Friendly Chicken Meet Ya In The Kitchen The Kid in Me Tips http://www.cookingthymes.com/Trackback.aspx?guid=34c65156-3974-4af9-bbbb-7a00485b534f http://www.cookingthymes.com/pingback.aspx http://www.cookingthymes.com/PermaLink,guid,34c65156-3974-4af9-bbbb-7a00485b534f.aspx Muse Easy Honey Roasted Chicken Recipe http://www.cookingthymes.com/PermaLink,guid,34c65156-3974-4af9-bbbb-7a00485b534f.aspx http://www.cookingthymes.com/2010/03/24/EasyHoneyRoastedChickenRecipe.aspx Wed, 24 Mar 2010 04:08:34 GMT A pinch of curry and apricots give the chicken a tangy flavor. <img width="0" height="0" src="http://www.cookingthymes.com/aggbug.ashx?id=34c65156-3974-4af9-bbbb-7a00485b534f"/><br/><hr/><a href="http://www.cookingthymes.com">The Muse Gourmet</a> BIESTERVELD'S PRESERVES Budget Friendly Chicken Ethnic Recipes Recipes/Chicken http://www.cookingthymes.com/Trackback.aspx?guid=88c64f33-7992-4e1d-ab29-1a2d77073002 http://www.cookingthymes.com/pingback.aspx http://www.cookingthymes.com/PermaLink,guid,88c64f33-7992-4e1d-ab29-1a2d77073002.aspx Muse

Southern Fried Chicken

Southern Fried chicken. Mmmmmmm.

One of the kings of comfort foods.

Is there anyone who doesn't like fried chicken? I haven't found a soul yet.

Just the very thought of fried chicken brings to mind so many wonderful memories.

Summer picnics.

The Fourth of July.

Sunday dinner.

And the list goes on...

But there is one thing about Southern Fried Chicken that causes most of us grief. Oil.

Whether we are watching our diet or simply don't like to get splattered with hot grease, frying chicken is no fun. It can be dangerous (particularly if you have little ones running around) and leaves a nasty grease smell in the house (yuck!).

This recipe will give you the same result without the oil. Have fun! It's one of my favorites.

And, a special thanks to Sister Majors for turning me on to the idea of "frying" chicken in the oven. You have been in inspiration to me.

Asparagus is typically in season April - June. But lately, there has been an abundance of tender sweet asparagus in the local grocery stores. I thought I'd pull out one of my favorite early summer recipes.



I love asparagus. It's one of those foods that's fun to eat. And it's light. Perfect for the dog days of summer.



My Italian Chicken Cordon Bleu Recipe is nice for a quick dinner or a summer brunch. As I'm typing this I'm thinking about oven roasted rosemary potatoes, creamy scrambled eggs and one of these chicken roll ups. I know what I'm making for Sunday breakfast...


Italian Chicken Cordon Bleu Roll Ups




Trim asparagus spears to be roughly the same length.


Trimmed asparagus




Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add trimmed asparagus spears. Boil 2 minutes. Immediately transfer asparagus to an ice cold water bath to stop the cooking and set the color. Drain.


Blanched Asparagus




With a very sharp knife, cut each chicken breast in half horizontally to make 2 thin cutlets out of each breast. Pound each cutlet to create an even thickness across the breast.



Begin to layer remaining ingredients on top of chicken breast cutlets. Begin by spreading 1 Tablespoon of pesto on each piece of chicken. Top with cheese, prosciutto and 4-5 asparagus spears.


Ready to roll the chicken




Starting on one side of the chicken breast, begin to roll up ingredients around the asparagus. If the rolls do not stay together, secure with a toothpick. Season roll ups with salt and pepper to taste.


Harvesting Basil




In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium high heat. Add chicken rolls and cover. Cook 4-5 minutes. Turn the roll ups. Cover. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes or until chicken is done.

Pancetta Chicken




Pancetta is Italian bacon, pork that is cured with salt, pepper and fennel and then dried for several months. It is available in the deli section of most grocery stores and is a key component to this recipe. Regular smoked bacon will not yield the same result as it contains more moisture, grease and fewer flavors than the pancetta.

Chicken Mulligatawny is a varied soup of British origin, introduced to India in the 1800s.  Mulligatawny refers to a stew that is cooked in peppery water. 

The particular variety that I prefer combines a blend of Thai and Indian flavors (ginger, cilantro, coconut, curry, red pepper) and is best served with steamed Basamati rice or coconut rice (see my earlier recipe).  I like this version because it uses a healthy variety of vegetables that aren't always popular on a stand alone basis (spinach and tomato).  Add another chopped jalapeno for a spicer blend. 

As a side note, any left over ginger can be stored in the freezer.  Just peel the entire root, wrap it well and store in an air tight container.  It will last in the freezer up to three months and can be used in another recipe.

This is a budget friendly meal that serves 6-8 people.  If you're not familiar with Indian cooking, give this one a try.  It's easy to prepare and doesn't take a lot of time in the kitchen.     

Be well.

The store bought varieties are bland and lifeless compared to the hearty flavor of this slow cooked stock. And, when the stock is finished, there is still two chickens’ worth of meat to use in another recipe. <img width="0" height="0" src="http://www.cookingthymes.com/aggbug.ashx?id=10845ac0-2a15-4553-abeb-7370a857d823"/><br/><hr/><a href="http://www.cookingthymes.com">The Muse Gourmet</a> Budget Friendly Chicken Recipes Zuppa http://www.cookingthymes.com/Trackback.aspx?guid=bfefa00d-ba54-4a25-af80-e92bd38ddd08 http://www.cookingthymes.com/pingback.aspx http://www.cookingthymes.com/PermaLink,guid,bfefa00d-ba54-4a25-af80-e92bd38ddd08.aspx Muse Savory Shredded Chicken http://www.cookingthymes.com/PermaLink,guid,bfefa00d-ba54-4a25-af80-e92bd38ddd08.aspx http://www.cookingthymes.com/2009/02/09/SavoryShreddedChicken.aspx Mon, 09 Feb 2009 15:52:11 GMT Versatile, easy to prepare, healthy, delicious, and inexpensive... this is sure to become a household favorite.
