QUICK CHICK CAESAR



Quick Chick Caesar image

Provided by Nigella Lawson : Food Network

Time 17m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 egg
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic oil
3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
Juice 1/2 lemon
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt or 1/4 teaspoon table salt (use none if you are adding anchovies)
Generous handful (approx. 2 ounces) of plain tortilla chips
1 romaine lettuce, or 2 hearts
2 cups cold shredded chicken
Pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • This is another example of the rewards of culinary recycling. Of course, frying up croutons doesn't take very long, but my tortilla-chip version feels stresslessy instant. I think of it as a quick time variant, mainly because I make my Caesar with croutons of roast cubed garlicky potatoes - and very well it goes down, too. If you prefer, you could, fattoush-style, replace the tortilla chips with pita bread, which you split, toast, then break into shards. People can be awfully tiresome about anchovies (not that the rusty strips of something salty left to die on pizzas are what anchovies can truly taste of) and, anyway, they are not actually part of the original Caesar, so I haven't listed them below. However, in the interests of transparency I should tell you that I do add them to my own Quick Caesar when ransacking the kitchen to assemble this. I either mush one or two pinky brown fillets up in the dressing, or if I have some of those silvery marinated anchovies, like slim sardines, I just toss them in with the chicken.
  • Crack the egg into a bowl and whisk well, as you add the oils, Parmesan and lemon juice. If you're not going to add an anchovy or two, whisk in the salt. Break the crisp lettuce into bite-sized pieces and add to a salad bowl. Drop in the shredded cold chicken and mix to combine. Season with pepper, to taste. Toast the tortilla chips for a couple of minutes in an oil-less frying pan over medium heat. Give the dressing another whisk, pour it over the salad, and toss to mix. Add the tortilla chips (and some anchovies if you like) and toss again before wolfing down.

MARINATED CHICKPEAS

These marinated chickpeas are great on their own, but even better for bulking up salads into a full meal. Because the chickpeas soak in vinaigrette, there's typically no need to add any extra dressing when you combine them with other vegetables; they come with enough seasoning to flavor everything. Combine a cup of the dressed chickpeas with a cup of cooked whole grains (such as farro, barley, wheat berries or quinoa), a half cup of shredded carrots, a handful of minced fresh parsley, a pinch of cumin, plus some cayenne or harissa for heat. You could also stir together equal parts marinated chickpeas and diced fresh cucumber with some slivered red onions and chopped fresh dill, or massage some chopped kale with olive oil and a pinch of salt, then toss in a big scoop of marinated chickpeas and some crumbled feta or Cotija.

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 bunch carrots with tops (5 to 6 carrots)
1 cup frozen peas
2 cloves garlic, peeled
2 lemons, 1 zested (about 1 tablespoon) and both lemons juiced (about 5 tablespoons)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Heat a large high-sided skillet or braiser over medium-high heat. Coat the pan with 2 tablespoons of oil. Season the chicken skin generously with salt and pepper. Place the chicken skin-side down in the skillet. Season the underside with salt and pepper. Cook undisturbed until the chicken easily releases from the pan and is golden brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, remove the carrot tops, leaving about 1 inch of green stem attached to the carrots. Set aside the carrot tops. Cut the carrots into 2- to 3-inch pieces and set aside.
  • Flip the chicken and cook for 2 minutes. Turn off the heat, add the carrots and turn them in the oil to coat. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the chicken registers 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer and the carrots are softened and caramelized in places, 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Remove the chicken from the oven and add the frozen peas. Return the chicken to the oven, then turn off the oven. The residual heat from the oven and the hot skillet will thaw and heat the peas.
  • Put the garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a 12- to 14-cup food processor and pulse to chop the garlic into very fine pieces, 3 to 4 pulses. Add the carrot tops and pulse until very finely chopped, 6 to 8 pulses. While pulsing, drizzle in the remaining 1/2 cup of oil until combined. Transfer to a small bowl.
  • Serve the chicken, peas and carrots with the carrot top gremolata.
