Chicken with Potatoes, Bacon and Cabbage (Real Simple)

3/4 pound new potatoes, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
kosher salt and black pepper
4 6-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts
3 slices bacon, chopped
1 small shallot, minced
1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
1/2 small head savoy cabbage (8 ounces), cut into 1/2-inch strips

Heat oven to 425F. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss the potatoes with 1 tablespoon of the oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Roast, tossing once, until golden brown and tender, 20 to 25 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; cook until golden brown and cooked through, 6 to 7 minutes per side.

In a second large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crisp, 5 to 7 minutes; remove. Add the shallot, mustard, and vinegar to the drippings in the pan and cook, stirring frequently, until the shallot is soft, 2 minutes. Add the cabbage and cook, tossing, until wilted, 2 to 4 minutes more. Serve with the chicken and sprinkle with the bacon.

Braised Short-Ribs in the Slow Cooker (from our local paper) The sauce that these ribs make is truly exceptional, and doesn't even need thickening. But because the ribs are fatty and tender, you might need a gravy separator. It's a handy tool that allows you to pour off the delicious broth, separate from the fat that collects on top of the juices. I served this delicious main course with steamed green beans and soft fresh bread to mop up the gravy. It would be lovely with mashed potatoes or noodles, too. Bring on winter! Braised Short Ribs with Orange and Hoisin 1 kg (2 lb) beef short ribs, trimmed of excess fat 2 cloves garlic, chopped finely or sliced thinly 125 ml (1/2 cup) orange juice 15 ml (1 tablespoon) ketchup 5 ml (1 teaspoon) soy sauce 30 to 45 ml (2 to 3 tablespoons) hoisin sauce 15 ml (1 tablespoon) fresh ginger, grated 5 ml (1 teaspoon) sesame oil 8 to 10 pearl onions 1. In a large skillet on high heat, quickly brown the meat on both sides. You can use a little oil if you need to, but this shouldn't be necessary, as the meat is quite fatty. Place the meat in the slow cooker, trying to keep it to one layer at the bottom. 2. Fry the garlic in the pan for a moment or two until it turns pale gold. Combine the orange juice, ketchup, soy sauce and hoisin sauce in a bowl and whisk together. Pour this into the skillet with the garlic and stir until all the browned bits are loosened in the pan. Pour the mixture over the meat in the slow-cooker. Sprinkle sesame oil on top. 3. Peel the pearl onions. This can be tricky, so I trim the pointed top and the root end with a sharp knife, then plunge them into boiling water for one minute. The skins will then slip right off. Scatter the pearl onions over the meat. Cover the slow-cooker and leave on High for four to five hours, or Low for eight to 10 hours. 4. Remove meat and onions from slow cooker and place into individual plates or a serving dish. It should be dark and very tender, with the bones falling off. Pour the juices into a bowl or gravy separator and skim off the fat. Pour degreased juices over the meat and serve with steamed vegetables or a salad, and bread, noodles or mashed potatoes. Makes 2 large or 3 medium servings.

I often make Ina's Crostata when I make an apple pie. It's easy and instead of putting it in a pie plate, it's just plopped on a silpat or parchment paper on a baking sheet. The pastry is so rich and flaky. Apple Crostata For the pastry: 1 cup all-purpose flour 2 tablespoons granulated or superfine sugar 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt 1/4 pound (1 stick) very cold unsalted butter , diced 2 tablespoons ice water For the filling: 1 1/2 pounds McIntosh, Macoun, or Empire apples (3 large) 1/4 teaspoon grated orange zest 1/4 cup flour 1/4 cup granulated or superfine sugar 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) cold unsalted butter, diced Directions For the pastry, place the flour, sugar, and salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Pulse a few times to combine. Add the butter and pulse 12 to 15 times, or until the butter is the size of peas . With the motor running, add the ice water all at once through the feed tube. Keep hitting the pulse button to combine, but stop the machine just before the dough becomes a solid mass. Turn the dough onto a well-floured board and form into a disk. Wrap with plastic and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Flour a rolling pin and roll the pastry into an 11-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Transfer it to a baking sheet. For the filling, peel , core , and cut the apples into 8ths. Cut each wedge into 3 chunks. Toss the chunks with the orange zest . Cover the tart dough with the apple chunks leaving a 1 1/2-inch border. Combine the flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon , and allspice in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture is crumbly. Pour into a bowl and rub it with your fingers until it starts holding together. Sprinkle evenly on the apples. Gently fold the border over the apples to enclose the dough, pleating it to make a circle. Bake the crostata for 20 to 25 minutes, until the crust is golden and the apples are tender. Allow to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.
