Marinated Plums Recipes

GRILLED TERIYAKI STEAK WITH PLUMS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium heat. Puree the 3 chopped plums in a food processor or blender until smooth. Stir together the pureed plums with the teriyaki, sesame oil, Dijon and sriracha in a large bowl. Add the steak to the bowl, tossing to coat in the marinade, and marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
• Cut the remaining 6 plums in half and remove the pits. Thread 6 halves on a long skewer, skewered from top to bottom. Repeat with another skewer.
• Remove the steak from the marinade and pat dry.
• Add the marinade to a medium saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the sauce has reduced slightly, about 5 minutes. Salt and pepper each side of the steak and grill over medium heat on each side for 2
• to 3 minutes. Once grilled on both sides, remove from the heat and let rest for 10 minutes.
• While the steak rests, put the plum skewers cut-side down on the grill and cook for 2 minutes. Flip and grill the other side for 2 minutes. Brush the plums with the marinade, flip and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes.
• Remove the plums from the skewers onto a platter. Slice the skirt steak against the grain and brush some marinade on it. Serve with scallions on top.

SHEET-PAN CHICKEN WITH ROASTED PLUMS AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Toast the fennel seeds in a small skillet over medium heat, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Pour seeds into a mortar and pound with a pestle until coarsely crushed (or lay seeds on a cutting board and pound them with a can or jar).
• Put the seeds into a large bowl and stir in lemon juice, zest, garlic, honey, allspice and red-pepper flakes.
• Season chicken generously all over with salt and pepper and add to the bowl, turning the pieces to coat them with marinade. Mix in plums and thyme sprigs. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours.
• When ready to cook, heat the oven to 425 degrees. Put the chicken pieces, plums, and thyme sprigs on a rimmed baking pan. Add onions, spreading them out around the chicken and plums. Season plums and onions lightly with salt. Drizzle everything with olive oil.
• Roast until chicken is golden and cooked through, 30 to 45 minutes, removing the white meat if it's done before the dark meat.
• Transfer chicken pieces as they are done to a platter. Spoon the plums and onions around the chicken. Drizzle a little of the pan drippings over the chicken and serve, garnished with the herbs and flaky salt.
