Snap Pea and Radish Salad

This is from The Comfort Table

3/4 pound sugar snap peas

1 bunch radishes, trimmed

2 Tbs fresh chives or 1 Tbs dried chives

Dressing:

3 Tbs olive oil

1 Tbs cider vinegar

1 tsp honey

1 tsp kosher salt

1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper

Trim the peas, if needed, and then blanch the peas in a pot of boiling salted water for 2-3 minutes. Drain and immediately put the peas in a bowl of ice water to stop them cooking.

Trim the radishes and slice thinly or cut into wedges or do some of each.

Mix up the vinaigrette in a small jar, shaking until well blended, then pour over the peas and radishes and serve.

Harry loves chicken divan and I haven't made it for ages. Got a reminder from this week's Parade Magazine. Sounds good!

CHICKEN DIVAN (Sherry Shepherd in Parade Magazine)

1 large bunch broccoli, trimmed and cut into 4" long spears
1/2 stick unsalted butter, diced
5 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
2 c. chicken broth
1/2 c. well-chilled heavy cream
3 Tbsp. medium-dry sherry
Fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/2 c. freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 whole boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1-1/2 lb. total), cooked and sliced thin

In a large saucepan of boiling, salted water, cook broccoli for 6 to 8 minutes or until tender. Drain and set aside, covered.

In a heavy saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Add flour and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes. Add broth and bring mixture to a boil. Cook on low, stirring for 10 minutes or until thick.

In a mixing bowl, beat cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, then add to flour mixture, along with sherry and lemon juice to taste. Season with salt and pepper.

Arrange broccoli in a flameproof 2-quart gratin dish or other shallow casserole dish. Top with half the sauce. Stir 1/4 c. Parmesan into the other half of sauce. Arrange chicken on broccoli, pour remaining sauce over top and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 c. Parmesan.

Broil, about 6" from heat for 1 minute or until sauce is golden and bubbling.

This was what I was going to make the other night, but found out my puff pastry was shells instead of sheets. Guess what's on my grocery list? SALMON IN PUFF PASTRY (Parade Magazine) 12 ounces pastry puff sheets, thawed if frozen 2 (6 to 7 ounce) salmon fillets 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened salt (to taste) freshly ground black pepper (to taste) 1 egg, lightly beaten Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Using a rolling pin, roll the pastry into four pieces, each about 5 by 8 inches. Transfer two pieces to a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Remove the skin from the salmon and place a fillet in the center of each of those pieces. In a small bowl, combine the parsley, basil and butter. Stir until the herbs are thoroughly mixed in. Season with salt and pepper. Spread the butter mixture on top of the salmon. Dip a pastry brush into the beaten egg and let the excess run off. Brush the edges of the pastry around the salmon with the egg. Cover each piece with the remaining puff pastry. Pinch the pastry together firmly to seal, then lightly press the tines of a dinner fork along the edges for a decorative effect. Brush the top of the pastry with the remaining egg. With a sharp knife, cut two small slits into the top of each pastry so the steam can escape during baking. Bake for 20 minutes or until the pastry has risen and is crisp and golden.

Since I just posted my own meatloaf creation on the meatloaf thread I will post it here too. Saucy stuffed meatloaf: 3Lbs lean ground beef(can use less meat) 1/2cup raw oatmeal 2Tbs Worcestershire sauce 2Tbs Cajun seasoning (I prefer Tony Chachere) 2Tbs mustard(yellow) 4-5 chopped Roma tomatoes(fresh not canned) 1lg chopped onion(purple if possible) 1jar RAGU Roasted garlic Parmesan sauce** In mixing bowl add meat,oatmeal,worst sauce,seasoning,mustard. Mix well with hands. In a large rectangular baking dish spray pam (NOT a loaf pan). Add the meat and form into loaf shape, then make a well down the length in the center of the loaf. In the well add some of the chopped tomatoes and onion. Squeeze the meat closed over the top of the well. Pour remaining tomato and onions around the loaf. Pour the RAGU sauce over it all. You can add a little milk to the jar to"rinse" it and get all out (not much don't want to water it down). Bake at 350 for an hour- check for doneness(clear juices). Let cool for 5 min or so then skim off excess oil or soak it up with bread and discard bread. *Optional ingredient chopped mushrooms. *Optional sprinkle top with grated cheese **If you can not find that specific RAGU sauce one of the other white RAGU sauces can be used like the Alfredo, and add garlic. Roasted Garlic Parmesan

Lucky that chicken recipe looks good! Now that peaches are in season, a grilled peach salad sounds about right! Grilled Peach and Mozzarella Salad Reduced balsamic vinegar adds a tangy kick to peaches that are grilled to bring out their inherent sweetness. Be sure to choose nice, firm fruit; if the peaches are soft, they'll collapse on the grill. If you want the nice grilled flavour all over the peaches, quarter, instead of halving them. Serves four. 3/4 cup balsamic vinegar 2 sprigs fresh thyme Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 2 firm-ripe peaches (12 oz. total), halved and pitted 4-1/2 tsp. extra-virgin olive oil 4 cups lightly packed baby arugula (about 2-1/4 oz.) 1 ball fresh mozzarella (5 to 7 oz.), cut into 3/4-inch chunks (about 1 cup) Prepare a medium gas or charcoal grill fire. Combine the vinegar and thyme in a 2-quart saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the mixture is thick, syrupy, and reduced to 1/4 cup, 6 to 9 minutes. Remove from the heat, discard the thyme sprigs, and season with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Rub the peaches all over with 2 tsp. of the oil and season lightly with salt and pepper. Grill cut side down until lightly charred, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let cool slightly. Slice each half into thirds. In a medium bowl, toss the arugula with the remaining 2-1/2 tsp. oil and season to taste with salt and pepper. Arrange on a platter. Top with the mozzarella and peaches and drizzle with about 2 Tbs. of the reduced balsamic, adding more to taste. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.
