Chicken And Cabbage Griots Cookbook Recipes

SHEET PAN ROAST CHICKEN & CABBAGE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425ºF. Pour a teaspoon of neutral oil over a rimmed sheet pan. Rub to coat.
• In a small bowl, stir together the sesame oil, coconut oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sriracha, if using. Place chicken in a large bowl. Season all over with salt and pepper. Pour 1/4 cup of the prepared mixture over the chicken and let marinate while the oven preheats. (Chicken can marinate longer, too, but try, if time permits, to bring it to room temperature before cooking-the coconut oil will solidify in the fridge and look clumpy, which is fine.)
• Cut the cabbage in half through the core. Cut again through each core and repeat this process until you are left with many wedges, no greater than 1-inch wide. Place the wedges in a large bowl, season all over with salt and pepper, and toss with the remaining dressing.
• Place chicken on prepared sheet pan spreading it out evenly. Roast for 10 minutes. Remove pan from oven, and nestle cabbage wedges all around the pieces, tucking it under if necessary-it will feel like a lot of cabbage. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes more or until chicken is golden and cooked through. Remove pan from oven, transfer chicken to a platter to rest. Return cabbage to the oven to roast for 10 to 15 minutes more, or until juices have reduced and edges of cabbage wedges are caramelized.

HAITIAN GRIOT AND PIKLIZ RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• For the griot, add the cubed pork shoulder, salt, pepper, chopped onion, chopped shallots, chopped scallions, sliced bell pepper, sliced garlic, chicken bouillon cube, cloves, orange juice, lime juice, white wine vinegar, thyme sprigs, parsley, and the sliced Scotch bonnet peppers to a large dutch oven off the heat.
• With gloves on, mix the mixture thoroughly. Cover the pot and place in the refrigerator to marinate overnight.
• For the pikliz, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrot, 1 sliced bell pepper, 1 sliced onion, 3 sliced scallions, 1 sliced shallot, and 2 sliced Scotch bonnets in a large bowl. Add the salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
• Put on gloves, and thoroughly mix using your hands. Pack the pikliz down into sterilized mason jars. Cover with the white wine vinegar. Put on the lid and store in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours to marinate.
• Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Place the Dutch oven with the marinated pork on the stove. Add the 2 cups (480 ML) of water, and bring to a boil. Transfer the pork to the the oven to braise for 1½ hours or until cooked through and tender.
• Pick out all the pieces of pork and place on a paper towel-lined tray lined with paper towel to dry. Pat down the surface of the pork to make sure there is no moisture.
• Heat a pot of oil to 350°F (180°C).
• Add the pork in batches and fry until deep golden brown color, about 5-7 minutes.
• Transfer the pork to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

ROASTED CHICKEN WITH CARAMELIZED CABBAGE

Steps:

• In a small dish, stir together 1 1/2 tablespoons Diamond Crystal kosher salt or 1 tablespoon Morton's coarse kosher salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon fennel seeds and the brown sugar.
• Place the chicken on a large plate or sheet pan and, with a paper towel, pat the surface of the chicken as dry as you can. Remove any giblets from the cavity and reserve for another time. Sprinkle a third of the spice mixture into the cavity of the chicken, focusing especially on the underside of the breasts. Use your hands to really rub the spices into the cavity. Now, sprinkle the rest of the spice mixture all over the surface of the chicken, including the bottom but especially the top, where the breasts are, and again, really rub it into the skin. If roasting right away, let the chicken sit at room temperature for at least 1 hour. Alternatively, you can place the chicken, uncovered, in the refrigerator to dry-brine for up to 24 hours; just be sure to let it sit out at room temperature for at least 1 hour before roasting.
• While the chicken is coming to room temperature, position a rack on the bottom third of the oven and heat the oven to 425 degrees. On a large sheet pan, add the cabbage, onion, 4 tablespoons olive oil and the remaining 1 teaspoon fennel seeds. Season generously with salt and pepper, and toss until evenly combined. Push the cabbage and onions to the edges of the pan to make room for the chicken, and place the chicken in the center of the pan, breast side up; the chicken should have direct contact with the pan and not be sitting over any of the vegetables. Massage the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil onto the chicken and give it a final generous sprinkling of salt and pepper (going lighter on the seasoning the longer the chicken has been dry-brined).
• Roast the chicken, rotating the pan halfway through, until the skin is golden brown and crispy, and the thigh meat reaches 160 degrees on an instant-read thermometer (it will continue to cook as it rests), 40 to 55 minutes or 13 minutes per pound. Do not cut into it to check that the juices run clear. The cabbage and onions should be soft and slightly charred in spots.
• Let the chicken rest for at least 15 minutes on the pan before transferring to a cutting board and carving into portions. Don't forget to turn the carcass over and eat the two "oysters" on the bottom of the chicken where the back of the thighs meet the spine. It's arguably the best part of the roast chicken experience, and the chef's treat.
• Add the vinegar to the cabbage and onions, toss until evenly distributed and taste for seasoning, adjusting with salt and pepper. Serve alongside the chicken.

CHICKEN AND CABBAGE (GRIOT'S COOKBOOK)

Steps:

• DO NOT USE LEAFY VEGGIES!

ONE-PAN CHICKEN AND CABBAGE (MEAL-PREP)

Steps:

• Add mushroom and cook for 3 minutes and using a wooden spoon scrape off any brown bits that may be stuck to the bottom of your skillet. Set aside.
• In the same pot, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, onions and bell pepper. Sauté for 3-5 minutes, or until it gets brown.
• Add the cabbage, garlic powder, paprika, salt and black pepper and chicken broth. Mix everything together. Reduce heat to medium low and cover with a lid. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

CHICKEN BREASTS WITH CABBAGE (KRAUTHENDL)

Steps:

• Carefully pull away the skin of each chicken breast half. Using a boning knife, carefully cut away all the bones except the main wing bone. Scrape the meat of the main wing bone from the tip of the bone toward the breast. Cut the main wing bone in half. Leave the bottom half intact. Discard the portion of the bone that has been scraped. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper and set aside.
• Cut the bacon into 1/4-inch cubes and set aside.
• Cut away and discard the core of the cabbage. Shred the cabbage finely. There should be about 10 cups or 1 pound. Set aside.
• Put the bacon in a kettle and cook until rendered of fat and lightly browned. Arrange the chicken pieces, skinned side down, close together and in one layer over the bacon cubes. Cook about 2 minutes or until the chicken has lost its raw look on the bottom. Turn the pieces and cover. Continue cooking about 2 minutes.
• Remove the chicken pieces. Add the onions to the bacon cubes and stir until wilted. Add the wine and bring to a boil. Add the cabbage, salt and pepper and toss. Sprinkle with paprika and stir until cabbage shreds are coated. Sprinkle with sugar. Cover the cabbage with the chicken breasts, boned side down, in one layer. Cover closely and cook 10 minutes. Lift the chicken pieces and stir the sour cream into the cabbage mixture. Replace the chicken pieces and spoon some of the sauce on top. Cover and cook about 5 minutes longer. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

CHICKEN WITH BACON AND CABBAGE

Steps:

• Fry bacon until golden in a heavy three-quart casserole. Remove bacon from pan and drain on absorbent paper.
• Dry chicken pieces and brown them well, a few at a time, in the bacon fat in the pan. Remove chicken and set aside. Pour all but one tablespoon of the bacon fat out of the pan.
• Saute the onion in the one tablespoon of bacon fat over low heat until soft but not brown. Add the garlic and saute a few minutes longer. Add the vinegar and deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned particles. Add the cabbage to the pan, cover and cook over very low heat until the cabbage is wilted, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Stir in the wine, thyme, pepper and the bacon. Return the chicken to the pan. Cover and simmer over low heat about 35 minutes, until the chicken is done.
• Arrange the chicken on a serving platter. Arrange the cabbage mixed with bacon alongside or around the chicken, draining it well to leave as much cooking liquid as possible in the pan. Cover to keep warm.
• Briefly boil down the cooking liquid to thicken it slightly. Off heat, swirl in the butter bit by bit. Spoon some of the sauce over the chicken and the rest over the cabbage before serving.
