chicken divan healthier
i wanted broccoli and cheese and mushrooms, but no heavy sauce. so i did this:
browned 8 oz of sliced mushrooms
half a medium onion
in 1 T butter. well, or 2.
salt and peppered.
moved them to the side and added two skinless chicken breasts, sliced. browned them.
placed browned chicken in a pam sprayed baking dish with a lid.
cut up fresh broccoli and added that to the dish on top of the chicken.
to 4 oz of greek yogurt, added gorgonzola crumbles and shredded cheddar and mushrooms. poured this over the chicken and broccoli. topped with shredded parmesan. baked covered till bubbly, abt 30 min at 350. removed top and browned 15 minutes. the "sauce" was watery, so I drained that, reduced it and added a teaspoon of cornstarch, reduced more. poured this over the dish and heated another 5 minutes.

Fideos with Shrimp and Clams
I had a ham bone in the freezer. Making the broth now. might make this at the beach...
1. 4 smoked ham hocks
2. 1/4 teaspoon saffron threads
3. 12 scallions
4. 1 1/4 pounds fideos or angel hair pasta, broken into 1-inch lengths
5. 1 pound large shrimp
6. 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
7. 1 pound abalone or oyster mushrooms—stems trimmed, caps sliced lengthwise 1/4 inch thick
8. Salt and freshly ground pepper
9. 8 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
10. 2 large shallots, thinly sliced
11. 1 cup Spanish green olives, pitted and chopped
12. 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
13. 1 cup dry sherry, such as fino
14. 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
15. 2 dozen Manila or littleneck clams, scrubbed
16. 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
Directions
1. In a large pot, cover the ham hocks with water and bring to a boil. Simmer over low heat until the meat is tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Transfer the hocks to a large bowl. Strain the broth into a very large glass measuring cup and skim off the fat; you should have about 6 cups of broth. Crumble the saffron threads into the broth and reserve. When the ham hocks are cool enough to handle, remove the meat and coarsely chop it; discard the hocks.
2. Preheat the oven to 400°. Light a grill or preheat a grill pan. Grill the scallions over high heat until lightly charred all over, about 2 minutes. Coarsely chop the scallions. Spread the fideos on 2 large rimmed baking sheets and bake in the upper and lower thirds of the oven for about 10 minutes, until browned.
3. Using scissors, cut down the back shell of each shrimp. Remove the dark intestinal veins, leaving the shells intact.
4. Heat 2 large skillets and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to each. Add half of the mushrooms to each skillet, season with salt and pepper and cook over moderately high heat, stirring, until browned, about 3 minutes. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the skillets. Add the garlic and shallots to the skillets and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes; stir in the chopped ham, olives and crushed red pepper, then stir in the fideos. Add the sherry to the skillets and cook over moderately high heat until reduced by three-quarters, about 2 minutes. Stir in the ham hock broth and the lemon juice, then add 1 cup of hot water to each skillet. Season with salt and pepper and bring to a simmer.
5. Add the shrimp and clams to the skillets and simmer over moderately high heat, turning the seafood a few times, until the fideos have absorbed most of the liquid, the shrimp are cooked and the clams have opened, about 4 minutes. Stir in the grilled scallions and sprinkle with the cilantro. Drizzle the fideos with olive oil and serve right away.
Make Ahead
The recipe can be prepared through Step 3 up to two days in advance. Refrigerate the ham hock broth, chopped ham, scallions and shrimp separately. Store the toasted fideos in an airtight container at room temperature. Warm the ham hock broth before using.

Porkchops with Mushroom Bourbon Cream Sauce Recipe
P
* 2 Tbsp olive oil
* 1 lb button mushrooms, sliced
* 1/4 cup chopped onions
* 2 large garlic cloves, chopped
* 1/2 cup dry white wine (e.g. Sauvignon Blanc)
* 1 cup chicken stock
* 1/2 cup heavy cream
* 1/4 cup bourbon whisky
* Salt and pepper
* 1 large egg
* 2 Tbsp water
* 4 6-7 oz center-cut pork chops
* All purpose flour
* 2 cups fresh bread crumbs
* 3 Tbsp olive oil or grapeseed oil
* 2 Tbsp minced fresh basil
Method
1 Prepare the sauce. Sauté onions, garlic, and mushrooms in 2 Tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet on medium high heat until the mushrooms are browned - about 10-15 minutes. Add the wine, increase the heat to high, and boil down until the liquid is reduced to almost a glaze, about 4 minutes. Add the chicken stock, and bourbon, boil until reduced by two thirds. Add the cream and simmer several minutes until the sauce thickens.
2 Prepare the pork. Whisk an egg and 2 Tbsp of water in a shallow baking dish. Sprinkle both sides of pork chops with salt and pepper. Dip chops into the flour, then egg mixture, then breadcrumbs, coating completely. Heat olive or grapeseed oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and cook until brown, about 4 minutes per side. Turn the chops one more time, lower the heat to low, cover, and cook an additional 5 minutes. Alternatively you can put the chops in a pre-heated oven at 400°F for 5-8 more minutes.
3 When about to serve the pork, bring the sauce to a simmer and add the chopped basil to it. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

cream of mushroom soup
Balthazar Cream of Mushroom Soup
The Balthazar Cookbook
1 oz dry mushrooms (porcini, morels, or shitakes)
1/2 cup olive oil
2 sprigs of rosemary
4 sprigs of sage
1 large yellow onion, peeled and thinly sliced
3 garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground white pepper
1 pound white button mushrooms, cleaned and thinly sliced
1 pound shitake mushrooms stemmed, cleaned and thinly sliced
6 cups chicken stock or water
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Deb adjustments: I used far less olive oil, replaced some of the chicken stock with beef, as I had it on hand and love mixing that flavor with mushrooms; half as much cream, preferring a more potent soup and thyme instead of rosemary, also due to personal preference.
1. Soak the dry mushrooms in 1 cup of warm water for 20 to 30 minutes, until plump.
2. Strain the soaking liquid through a coffee filter to remove grit and reserve, along with the reconstituted mushrooms, until needed.
3. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over a medium flame. Bundle the rosemary and sage together and tie with kitchen twine. When the oil is hot, add the herb bundle and sizzle for a few minutes on both sides to infuse the oil.
4. Add the onion, garlic, salt and pepper and cook for 5 minutes, until the onion is soft and translucent but not brown.
5. Turn the flame to high and add the white mushrooms and shitakes.
6. Cook for 10 minutes, during which the mushrooms will give off their liquid (which should evaporate quickly due to the high heat) and deflate significantly. Stir occasionally.
7. Add the chicken stock and the dried mushrooms along with the soaking water.
8. Simmer for 30 minutes. Remove the herbs, then add the cream and butter. Working in batches, puree the soup in a blender until smooth. Return to the pot and keep at a very low simmer until ready to serve.

Mushroom casserole that rocks
this is in the oven and smells great. I didn't have any fresh tarragon but had roasted some peppers last night and subbed them. i can imagine throwing in greens and having a main dish of this.
Mushroom Casserole Recipe
Use any cooked grain you like. Feel free to use low-fat cottage cheese or sour cream if you prefer.
1/2 pound (8 ounces) brown mushrooms, cleaned and chopped
1 large onion, well chopped
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
3 cups cooked brown rice, room temperature
2 large eggs
1 cup cottage cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 teaspoon fine grain sea salt
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
a bit of fresh tarragon, chopped
Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Rub a medium-large baking dish with a bit of olive oil or butter and set aside. The pan I use is slightly smaller than a classic 9x13 baking dish - just grab for something in this ballpark.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat saute the mushrooms in a glug of olive oil sprinkled with a couple pinches of salt. Stir every minute or so until the mushrooms have released their liquid and have browned a bit. Add the onions and cook for another 4 or 5 minutes or until they are translucent. Stir in the garlic, cook for another minute and remove from heat. Add the rice to the skillet and stir until combined.
In a medium bowl whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, sour cream, and salt.
Combine the rice mixture and cottage cheese mixture in a large bowl, stir until well combined and then turn out into your prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with 2/3 of the Parmesan cheese, cover with foil and place in oven for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 20 or 30 minutes more or hot throughout and golden along the edges. Sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan and enjoy.
Serves about 8.

grillades cachiatore
I had some top round and didn't know what exactly to do. I love grillades. I added kale, didn't flour the steak and instead peppered and seasoned it with Everglades and smoked chili and it smells great so I am hopeful.

HUNTER-STYLE GRILLADES
We are happy to announce that Emily Connor has won our October "Cook the Cover" contest with her delicious variation on Emeril Lagasse's grillades.
Emily Connor explains her variation:
Some of the most memorable recipes are those that combine the best of both worlds: In this case, Southern comfort food and classic Italian. The addition of crimini mushrooms, fresh thyme, and rosemary imparts the "hunter-style" (or cacciatore) while preserving the authenticity of the grillades. A few other changes — a simplified version of the spice rub, elimination of several dried herbs, and the use of olive oil and balsamic vinegar — streamline the recipe without sacrificing any of the flavor. As a twist to the dish, try serving with cauliflower purée. Not only does it complement the flavors and nicely soak up the braising liquid, but it's a great way to highlight the freshest of fall ingredients.
Servings: Makes 6 servings.
Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds beef top-round steak (1/2-inch thick)
1 pound veal top-round steak (1/2-inch thick)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
2 cups chopped onion (1 large)
1 cup chopped red bell pepper (from 1 large)
1 cup chopped celery (about 2 ribs)
1 pound fresh crimini (or baby bella) mushrooms, quartered
1 1/2 cups (from a 28-ounce can) drained canned tomatoes, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
2 bay leaves
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves, minced
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves, minced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups beef broth (homemade or canned)
1/2 cup dry red wine
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (optional)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Preparation
Cut beef and veal into 2-inch pieces. Combine flour, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper in a small bowl. Place each piece of meat between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound meat to 1/4-inch thickness with flat side of a meat pounder, turning meat over occasionally.
Lightly coat each piece of meat with seasoned flour. Heat olive oil in a wide 5- to 6-quart heavy pot over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Sauté meat (working in batches if necessary), stirring constantly and turning over, until evenly and lightly browned on both sides, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove meat from pan and set aside.
Add onion, bell pepper, celery, and mushrooms and cook, stirring and scraping up any brown bits from bottom and side of pot, until softened, 5 to 6 minutes. Add tomatoes and garlic and cook, stirring frequently and scraping bottom and side of pot, 3 minutes.
Return meat to pan. Add bay leaves, thyme, rosemary, salt, cayenne, black pepper, broth, and wine, then reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, stirring occasionally, until meat is very tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Taste broth, and add balsamic vinegar to cut the richness of the braising liquid if desired. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
