Wednesday Recipes
I'm planning to make a few changes here over the next few weeks...A little chattier, more photos, maybe one or two highlighted recipes and five or six accompanying recipes...But then, I think the changes will make a better blog, all the way around.
In the meantime, here are today's six recipes to try out. Enjoy!
SKIRT STEAK WITH LENTIL SALAD
This is from Pierre Franey in The New York Times cooking e-newsletter. The recipe begins, “This recipe came to The Times in 1990 in Pierre Franey's 60-Minute Gourmet column. A lentil salad (we used those tiny French green lentils, but you can use the standard supermarket variety as well) is dressed with a Dijon mustard vinaigrette, then topped with skirt steak that's been seared in a cast-iron pan. A simple sauce, made by deglazing the pan with butter, garlic and parsley, is drizzled over the top. It is classic Franey – uncomplicated, elegant and delicious.” Yield: 4 servings; Time: 45 minutes.
This was featured in “60-Minute Gourmet”, and can be viewed online here. Also check out Melissa Clark’s guide “How to Cook Beans”.
Ingredients
For the Lentil Salad:
8 cups water
1 pound dried lentils
1 cup finely diced carrots
1 bay leaf
3 sprigs fresh thyme, or 1 teaspoon dried
Salt to taste
1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup red-wine vinegar
1 cup finely chopped onions
4 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon or parsley
Freshly ground pepper to taste
For the Steaks:
4 skirt steaks, about 1/2 pound each, trimmed of excess fat
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
Preparation
To make the lentil salad, put the water in a large saucepan. Wash the lentils in a colander and add to the saucepan. Add the carrots, bay leaf, thyme and salt. Cover and simmer 20 to 25 minutes. Do not overcook. Drain and remove the bay leaf and thyme sprigs.
In a large mixing bowl combine the mustard, 3/4 cup of oil and the vinegar, onions, tarragon, salt and pepper. Blend well with a wire whisk. Add the lentils and stir. Serve warm, lukewarm or cool.
To prepare the meat, sprinkle it on both sides with salt and pepper and brush with 1 tablespoon of oil.
Heat a cast-iron skillet large enough to hold two steaks over high heat, add the steaks and brown them for 3 minutes for medium-rare. Turn and continue cooking until they are thoroughly browned, about 3 minutes more. Remove to a warm platter. Repeat the procedure for the two remaining steaks.
Pour the fat from the skillet and reduce the heat. Add the butter, garlic and parsley. Cook briefly, stirring. Add any juices from the platter and blend well. Pour the sauce over the steaks and serve with the lentil salad immediately.
CHICKEN BREASTS WITH TOMATOES AND CAPERS
This recipe was also in a recent New York Times Cooking e-newsletter. It begins, “This recipe was originally developed by Pierre Franey in 1991 for the 60-Minute Gourmet column, a weekly feature dedicated to Times-worthy dishes that were easy, quick and inexpensive. This recipe fit the bill perfectly, and it still does. Just sauté the chicken breasts until they are lightly browned. Then add shallots and garlic, tarragon, tomatoes, vinegar, capers, white wine and tomato paste. Stir well and cook for about 9 minutes more. That's it.” Time: 20 minutes; makes 4 servings.
This was featured in "60-Minute Gourmet" and can be view this online here.
Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2 1/4 pounds)
Salt and freshly ground white pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
6 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic
4 teaspoons finely chopped fresh tarragon, or 2 teaspoons dried tarragon
8 ripe plum tomatoes cut into small cubes (or one 28-ounce can of tomatoes, drained and chopped)
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup drained capers
1 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
Preparation
Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat the oil and butter in a heavy-bottom skillet. Add the chicken breasts and saute over medium-high heat, turning the pieces often until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
Add the shallots and garlic around the chicken. Cook briefly; add the tarragon, tomatoes, vinegar, capers, wine and tomato paste. Stir to dissolve the brown particles adhering to the bottom of the skillet.
Blend well, bring to a boil, and then cover and simmer for 9 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Stir in 2 cups uncooked instant white rice. Cover the saucepan and remove from the heat. Let stand for 5 minutes.
Ingredient Note: We develop our recipes using a 4-to 5-ounce skinless, boneless chicken breast half per serving. However, there are a range of sizes available in-store, from the butcher counter to the meat case and the freezer section. Use whichever you prefer- just follow the recipe as written above for the best result. If you're using larger chicken breasts they may require a little longer cooking time.
In the meantime, here are today's six recipes to try out. Enjoy!
SKIRT STEAK WITH LENTIL SALAD
This is from Pierre Franey in The New York Times cooking e-newsletter. The recipe begins, “This recipe came to The Times in 1990 in Pierre Franey's 60-Minute Gourmet column. A lentil salad (we used those tiny French green lentils, but you can use the standard supermarket variety as well) is dressed with a Dijon mustard vinaigrette, then topped with skirt steak that's been seared in a cast-iron pan. A simple sauce, made by deglazing the pan with butter, garlic and parsley, is drizzled over the top. It is classic Franey – uncomplicated, elegant and delicious.” Yield: 4 servings; Time: 45 minutes.
This was featured in “60-Minute Gourmet”, and can be viewed online here. Also check out Melissa Clark’s guide “How to Cook Beans”.
Ingredients
For the Lentil Salad:
8 cups water
1 pound dried lentils
1 cup finely diced carrots
1 bay leaf
3 sprigs fresh thyme, or 1 teaspoon dried
Salt to taste
1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup red-wine vinegar
1 cup finely chopped onions
4 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon or parsley
Freshly ground pepper to taste
For the Steaks:
4 skirt steaks, about 1/2 pound each, trimmed of excess fat
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
Preparation
To make the lentil salad, put the water in a large saucepan. Wash the lentils in a colander and add to the saucepan. Add the carrots, bay leaf, thyme and salt. Cover and simmer 20 to 25 minutes. Do not overcook. Drain and remove the bay leaf and thyme sprigs.
In a large mixing bowl combine the mustard, 3/4 cup of oil and the vinegar, onions, tarragon, salt and pepper. Blend well with a wire whisk. Add the lentils and stir. Serve warm, lukewarm or cool.
To prepare the meat, sprinkle it on both sides with salt and pepper and brush with 1 tablespoon of oil.
Heat a cast-iron skillet large enough to hold two steaks over high heat, add the steaks and brown them for 3 minutes for medium-rare. Turn and continue cooking until they are thoroughly browned, about 3 minutes more. Remove to a warm platter. Repeat the procedure for the two remaining steaks.
Pour the fat from the skillet and reduce the heat. Add the butter, garlic and parsley. Cook briefly, stirring. Add any juices from the platter and blend well. Pour the sauce over the steaks and serve with the lentil salad immediately.
CHICKEN BREASTS WITH TOMATOES AND CAPERS
This recipe was also in a recent New York Times Cooking e-newsletter. It begins, “This recipe was originally developed by Pierre Franey in 1991 for the 60-Minute Gourmet column, a weekly feature dedicated to Times-worthy dishes that were easy, quick and inexpensive. This recipe fit the bill perfectly, and it still does. Just sauté the chicken breasts until they are lightly browned. Then add shallots and garlic, tarragon, tomatoes, vinegar, capers, white wine and tomato paste. Stir well and cook for about 9 minutes more. That's it.” Time: 20 minutes; makes 4 servings.
This was featured in "60-Minute Gourmet" and can be view this online here.
Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2 1/4 pounds)
Salt and freshly ground white pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
6 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic
4 teaspoons finely chopped fresh tarragon, or 2 teaspoons dried tarragon
8 ripe plum tomatoes cut into small cubes (or one 28-ounce can of tomatoes, drained and chopped)
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup drained capers
1 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
Preparation
Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat the oil and butter in a heavy-bottom skillet. Add the chicken breasts and saute over medium-high heat, turning the pieces often until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
Add the shallots and garlic around the chicken. Cook briefly; add the tarragon, tomatoes, vinegar, capers, wine and tomato paste. Stir to dissolve the brown particles adhering to the bottom of the skillet.
Blend well, bring to a boil, and then cover and simmer for 9 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

SWISS EASTER RICE TART
This comes from Florence Fabricant in The New York Times cooking e-newsletter. I know, it’s an Easter rice tart, and Easter has passed, but it still looks yummy. Besides, there’s no reason not to have it any other time!
Anyway, Florence wrote, “This is a custard tart, with rice, lemon and almonds in the filling, which is served only at Easter in Switzerland. ‘It was called gâteau de Pâques and I remember it very well,’ said Gray Kunz, the chef who was born in Singapore but grew up in Geneva and Bern. ‘There would be a bunny in icing sugar stenciled on top.’ Nick Malgieri, the baking teacher and author, based this somewhat lighter recipe on several he found in Switzerland.” Time: 2 hours; makes 8 to 10 servings.

Ingredients
1 1/2 cups plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour and more for dusting
1 tablespoon plus 1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
11 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, in 11 slices
1/2 cup long-grain rice
3 cups milk
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
1/2 cup blanched almonds, finely ground in food processor
3 large eggs
Confectioners' sugar
Preparation
Combine 1 1/2 cups flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the baking powder in food processor. Pulse to blend. Add 10 tablespoons butter and pulse 3 to 4 times, until butter is in pea-size pieces. Sprinkle in 3 tablespoons cold water. Pulse 4 times. Dough will not come together. Turn dough out on lightly floured work surface and knead gently a few times to form a disk. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
Meanwhile, half fill a 3-quart saucepan with water, bring to a boil, stir in rice, lower heat to medium and cook until rice is soft, about 15 minutes. Drain rice and return it to saucepan. Add milk, remaining butter, 1/2 cup sugar and remaining salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer until mixture has thickened almost to a risotto consistency, about 25 minutes.
Place saucepan in a large bowl of ice and water 10 minutes, to cool mixture to tepid. Purée in food processor. Pour into a bowl and add lemon zest. Mix ground almonds with 1 tablespoon flour and add to bowl. Stir in eggs one at a time.
Place oven rack in lowest position and preheat oven to 350 degrees. Remove pastry from refrigerator and place on lightly floured surface. Lightly dust top with flour. Use a rolling pin to press down on dough to soften it. Roll out disk to 12 inches in diameter. Transfer to a 10-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Press dough evenly into pan. Trim edges flush with pan. Pour filling into pastry.
Bake about 35 minutes, until filling is set and golden. Cool on a rack. Dust with sifted confectioners’ sugar before serving.
