0 Comments

 
Picture
Roasting Methods: 
We are going to concentrate on two methods for roasting a whole chicken: Traditional and High Heat.

Before roasting. season whole thawed out chicken to your preffered liking.

1 Traditional method:
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). •Roast whole (thawed) chicken for 20 minutes per pound, plus an additional 15 minutes.


2 High heat method (this creates a crispy, darker skin):
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) and cook whole (thawed) chicken for 10-15 minutes. •Then reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and roast for 20 minutes per pound. (Do not add the extra 15 minutes to the cooking time as with the traditional method.)

Both methods require basting every 20 minutes of baking.

Let 
chicken rest, cut into desired pieces and serve with your favorite sides.

Onion, Bacon & Butternut Tart 
(serves 6 as a main course, 12 as an appetizer)

Ingredients:
  • All-purpose flour for rolling dough
  • 14 ounces whole wheat pizza dough, thawed if frozen or gluten-free remade pizza crust…we like Cali'flour Foods {If you get the ready-made crusts, follow instructions on package and skip to step 2!}
  • 5 slices thick-cut bacon
  • 1 large onion, halved and thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 (10 ounces) package frozen diced butternut squash (1 1/2 cups), thawed
  • 1 1/2 cup (about 6 ounces) grated Fontina or Gruyère cheese
  • 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme

Instructions:
  1. On a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin, roll dough out to a circle about 14 inches in diameter; if the dough pulls back strongly, stop rolling, cover the dough with a kitchen towel and let rest 10 minutes before continuing. Transfer dough to a round pizza pan, stone or large greased baking sheet; reshape dough as needed, but you can leave any edges of the dough hanging over the sides of the pan (they will be folded in later). Cover with a towel and refrigerate.
  2. Preheat oven to 475°F and place a rack in the middle of the oven. Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisped, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer bacon to a paper-towel-covered plate to drain. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of grease left in skillet. Return skillet to medium heat and add onion, garlic and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is golden and tender, about 15 minutes. Add squash and cook, tossing gently once or twice, until any excess moisture evaporates, 2 to 3 minutes.
  3. Scrape onion mixture into middle of dough and spread evenly, leaving a 1-inch border around edges. Sprinkle top with cheese. Brush edge of dough with half the oil and fold it over to make a ½-inch rim. Brush rim with remaining oil. Bake until tart is deeply browned and dough is cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. Sprinkle with thyme and cool 10 minutes, then transfer to a cutting board and cut into wedges or squares for serving.
