Slow-Cooked Salmon, Chickpeas, and Greens

Сделала вчера на ужин и мне и Вадиму очень понравилось. Очень удобное блюдо для гостей, поскольку все можно подготовить заранее и к назначенному времени на полчаса поставить в печку. Отличный способ готовить лосось, он получился таким, как надо, не пересушенный.

Ingredients

Salmon:
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more
1 15.5-ounce can chickpeas, rinsed
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
1 garlic clove, thinly sliced
1 small bunch mustard greens, ribs and stems removed, leaves coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon honey
4 6-ounce skinless salmon fillets
Vinaigrette and assembly:
1/2 small shallot, very finely chopped
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon honey
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons capers, rinsed, patted dry

Preparation

For salmon:
Preheat oven to 250°F. Brush a large baking dish with oil. Combine chickpeas, cumin, and 1 tablespoon oil in a medium bowl. Mash about half of chickpeas with a fork; season with salt and pepper. Transfer chickpea mixture to prepared dish.
Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook garlic, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add mustard greens and cook, tossing, until slightly wilted, about 1 minute. Add honey and 1/4 cup water; season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing, until greens are completely wilted, about 2 minutes. Transfer to dish with chickpea mixture.
Season salmon with salt and pepper; arrange over greens and chickpea mixture and drizzle with oil. Bake until salmon is opaque in the center, 30–35 minutes.
For vinaigrette and assembly:
Whisk shallot, lemon juice, mustard, and honey in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper. Gradually whisk in olive oil; season with salt and pepper.
Heat vegetable oil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook capers until opened and crisp, about 30 seconds; drain on paper towels.
Drizzle salmon with vinaigrette and top with capers.

Rosemary and Thyme Braised Lamb Shoulder

Мне понравился этот способ готовить баранину, смело можно повторять и для нас и для гостей. Соус не делала.
For lamb:
1 (6-pound) bone-in lamb shoulder roast, tied
1 large head garlic, separated into cloves (about 12), peeled
1 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary plus 1 sprig
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme plus 5 sprigs
2 cups dry white wine
2 cups water
For sauce:
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
Equipment:
a heavy 6 1/2 - 7 quart nonreactive heavy pot with a tight fitting lid, or a heavy-duty nonreactive roasting pan with heavy-duty foil

Preparation

Roast lamb:
Make slits in lamb shoulder all over at 2-inch intervals with a paring knife.
Pound garlic with kosher salt, zest, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper to a coarse paste with mortar and pestle (or mince and mash with a large knife), then stir together with oil and 1 tablespoon each of rosemary and thyme. Rub paste all over lamb. Put in heavy pot or roasting pan, then chill, covered, 12 to 24 hours.
Bring roast to room temperature (about 1 hour).
Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in lower third.
Pour wine and water around lamb and add herb sprigs. Cover roast with a sheet of parchment. Cover pot with lid or cover roasting pan tightly with heavy-duty foil. Braise lamb in oven until tender but not falling off the bone, about 3 hours.
Increase oven to 450°F and remove parchment, then braise lamb, covered with lid (or foil), until very tender and top is browned, about 1 hour more. Carefully transfer lamb to a platter and loosely cover with foil. Let it stand 10 minutes.
Make sauce:
Pour braising liquid through a fine-mesh sieve, then spoon off and discard fat remaining on liquid (you should have about 2 cups liquid; reserve pot). Whisk together flour and 1 cup liquid in a small bowl until smooth. Bring remaining liquid to a boil in uncleaned pot, then whisk in flour mixture and boil, whisking, until thickened, about 4 minutes. Stir in thyme and rosemary and season with salt and pepper.
To serve:
Remove and discard strings. Meat is too tender to slice with a carving knife; use a meat fork to pull meat into serving pieces.
