Ingredients:

1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

1 inch piece /2.5cm fresh ginger, finely chopped

6 tablespoons/90ml soy sauce

20 ounces/570g bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs and drumsticks

2 red onions, quartered

1 lemon, zested then sliced into rings

1 tablespoon/14g unsalted butter

2 tablespoons/30ml honey

To Serve

Steamed rice

Selection of greens, like kale, broccoli or green beans

1 tablespoon/14g unsalted butter

½ tablespoon/7ml vegetable oil

1 shallot, sliced

3 garlic cloves, sliced

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400F/200C/Gas 6

2. In a small bowl, combine the crushed red pepper flakes, if using, with the ginger and soy sauce. Place the chicken in a roasting pan or baking dish large enough not to crowd the pieces; they should have two finger’s widths of space between them. Coat the chicken in the marinade; add the onion quarters, arranging the slices in between the pieces of chicken. Roast, basting halfway through, until the chicken is tender, 30 to 35 minutes. (Meanwhile, cook the rice and prepare a selection of greens for serving.)

3. Remove the chicken from the oven and pour any juices into a small saucepan before return the chicken to the oven.

4. To the saucepan with the pan juices, add the butter, honey and lemon zest. Cook over medium heat until it has reduced by a third, about 3 minutes.

5. Remove the chicken from the oven and pour the honey sauce evenly over top, then return to the oven and until the juices run clear when pierced at the thickest point, 5 to 10 minutes more. Rest for 5 minutes before serving.

6. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat and fry the shallots until golden. Add the garlic, stirring to keep it from burning, then add the greens, adding a splash of water to help them cook. Season with salt and pepper, then stir-fry for about 5 minutes. Serve with the rice, vegetables and more crushed red pepper flakes if desired.

The History Of Mustard

Mustard was around thousands of years before Grey Poupon BY  PEGGY TROWBRIDGE FILIPPONE Mustard, a member of the Brassica family of plants, bears tiny round edible seeds and tasty leaves. Its English name, mustard ,  is derived from a contraction of the Latin  mustum ardens  meaning "burning must ."  This is a reference to the spicy heat of the crushed  mustard seeds  and the French practice of mixing the ground seeds with  must,  the young, unfermented juice of wine grapes. The condiment mustard is made from the seeds of the mustard plant. The seeds aren't flavorful until they are cracked, after which they are mixed with a liquid to become prepared mustard. The culinary history of mustard as a condiment is extensive. History of Mustard as a Condiment As a condiment, mustard is ancient. Prepared mustard dates back thousands of years to the early Romans, who used to grind mustard seeds and mix them with wine into a past...

Braised Lettuce (Laitues Braises): A Take On Julia Child’s Recipe

Pitted vs Unpitted Olives — Which Are Better?

Q. Are there any differences in flavor or texture among pitted and unpitted brine-cured  olives? A. To evaluate any differences between pitted and unpitted olives, we gathered both green and black brine-cured olives from deli sections at supermarkets, as well as olives packed in plastic and glass containers. After tasting many samples, it became clear that the pitted olives suffered on two counts: they tasted saltier and their flesh was mushier. They also lacked the complex, fruity flavors of the unpitted kind. Here's why: Before being packed for sale, fresh-picked olives are soaked in brine for periods of up to a year to remove bitterness and develop flavor. Once pitted, the olives are returned to the brine for packing, which can penetrate the inside of the olive and turn it mushy and pasty, as well as increase the absorption of salt. That saltier taste can mask subtler flavors. If you have the time, it makes sense to buy unpitted olives and pit them yourself...
