Description:
This classic Hungarian dish traditionally calls for sweet paprikash, but this delicious recipe uses a democratic blend of hot and sweet.



Ingredients:
Chicken Paprikash Flavors
This dish originated in Hungary and is renowned for its exquisite paprika flavor. This dish traditionally uses sweet paprika, but today I am going to be mixing both hot and sweet.

Chicken Paprikash Ingredients
To make this Chicken Paprikash, you will need:
1 1/2 pounds thinly sliced chicken cutlets
1 large sweet onion
a pint of grape tomatoes
4 cloves garlic
6 ounces marinated artichoke hearts
6 ounces marinated red sweet peppers
half of an orange pepper
1 Spanish green pepper chopped
1 cup of mushrooms
small can of cannellini beans
2 cups chicken broth
4 tablespoons sweet paprika
2 tablespoons hot paprika
1 tablespoon onion flakes
salt and pepper to taste
16 ounces sour cream
1 9 ounce box of Spaetzle
3 tablespoons oil
2 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Combine the Chicken Paprikash Ingredients
Pour oil into a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, artichoke hearts, sweet pepper, all your fresh peppers, mushrooms, and salt and pepper. Cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add in your flour and paprika, and then the cannellini beans. Stir and blend for about two minutes.

Add chicken broth and raise to high heat until the sauce begins to boil. Add chicken and onion flakes; stir and reduce heat to low. Cook approximately 20 minutes.

Cook the Pasta
Begin cooking your Spaetzle, which is like other pastas and requires cooking for 15 minutes in a pot of boiling water.

Add your sour cream and stir gently and add your fresh tomatoes. Be careful to keep stirring, as the sour cream can separate.

Serve the Chicken Paprikash
After two minutes remove from heat, and plate your chicken, delicious paprika sauce, and vegetables over the Spaetzle.

RecipePork With Apple Dijon Pan SauceFeb 25, '08 7:29 PM

Description:
Pork With Apple Dijon Pan Sauce
with Chef John Mitzewich
Perk up your pork tenderloin with a delicious, homemade apple and Dijon sauce. A classically trained chef shows you how to prepare the pork, plus how to make sauce in five steps.


Ingredients:
Remove the Silver Skin From the Pork
There's our whole pork tenderloin. It's about a pound and a half -- a really beautiful piece of meat. The only trimming we have to do is to take off the silver skin with a sharp knife.

There's the slow-mo version of how to do it. Just put the knife in between the silver skin and the meat.

I didn't have three minutes to show you how to do it all, so three minutes later, all that was gone. It's very easy. You can do it, just use a sharp knife.
Fold the Tail Piece of the Pork Tenderloin
Now see that little tail piece, how that's thinner than the rest of the pork? I'm going to use a knot and just fold that up and tie it. That way, it's all the same thickness. See that? Pretty good trick.
Marinate the Pork Tenderloin
OK, cover that with black pepper. For our marinade, we're going to use some garlic, three cloves, and some rosemary, which we are going to bruise. This just means to pound it with the back of your knife.

Throw all that in a bag and add a tablespoon of olive oil and your pork. And then give it a nice little massage to distribute all the garlic and rosemary. All right, you are going to throw that in the fridge for four to 12 hours.

Preheat your oven to 375F. When you remove it from the marinade, take off the garlic and rosemary so it doesn't burn in the pan. We're going to salt it well.
Sear the Pork Tenderloin
And here are your 5 steps for any pan sauce: sear it, roast it, deglaze the pan, reduce the sauce, and finish with butter -- my favorite step!

So, here's the searing. We're going to put a tablespoon of oil in a very hot pan. We're going to sear that pork tenderloin - I'm going to put it fold side down - and we're going to sear it 3-4 minutes per side on high heat to get a nice crust going. So that's the searing.
Roast the Pork Tenderloin
The roasting is of course the roasting. I'm going to go 20 minutes at 375F, or if you want to go internal temperature, I go 165F, which comes out nice and moist. So now that we've taken that pork out to rest, we are ready to deglaze the bottom of the pan.
Deglaze the Bottom of the Pan and Reduce
We're going to add our liquids; our cider vinegar, which is a 1/4 cup; our couple tablespoons of Dijon; our two cups of apple cider. And that's the deglazing.

Now on high, heat the reduction. We're simply going to reduce that liquid down buy 3/4 until it kind of looks like that. Turn off the heat.
Add Butter to the Apple Dijon Pan Sauce
Add two tablespoons of cold butter, and whisk until incorporated. Just whisk it all in. It will come together, it will thicken it.

Now what's happening is the vinegar in the reduction is helping emulsify the butter into the sauce, and that's what gives it that shine and that incredible texture.
Season and Strain the Pan Sauce
Be sure to adjust for salt and pepper. And just to be fancy I'm going to strain mine, you know, just to look professional.

I'm going to add 1 teaspoon of fresh minced rosemary for some color after I strain it.
Top the Pork With the Pan Sauce
Slice your meat on the bias -- it just looks cool. Top with that amazing sauce, and you have an incredible, incredible pork dish.

And the important thing to remember is that if you follow those five steps you can make a delicious pan sauce out of any roasted meat. I hope you give it a try.

Enjoy!
