Rosemary Sauce Recipes

CHICKEN WITH CREAMY ROSEMARY SAUCE

Steps:

• If you have two large chicken breasts, slice each one in in half horizontally in order to make four cutlets total.
• In a large skillet over medium high heat, add the olive oil. Let the olive oil heat up, then add the chicken to the pan.
• Cook the chicken for four minutes without moving it around in the pan. Then flip each piece and cook it for another four minutes. Set aside on a clean plate.
• In the same pan, add all remaining ingredients (butter, cream, broth, garlic, black pepper, and rosemary) and stir to combine, making sure to break up any bits and pieces left in the pan from cooking the chicken to combine those into the sauce as well.
• Stirring occasionally, let the sauce simmer and reduce for about 5 minutes.
• Add the chicken back to the pan and ladle the sauce over it. Allow it to warm in the simmering sauce for 1 min.
• Remove the pan with the chicken and creamy rosemary sauce from the heat and serve over pasta, rice, zoodles, or cauliflower rice! Optional: Top with a few sprigs of fresh rosemary for garnish.

CRISP-TENDER ROAST DUCK WITH CHERRY-ROSEMARY SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Rinse the duck inside and out and pat dry. Trim any excess fat from the neck and cavity, snip off wingtips and discard. Mix 1 tablespoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl, and sprinkle the bird inside and out. Using a paring knife, make dozens of slits through the skin and fat (taking care not to pierce the meat) all over both sides and all parts of the bird.
• Put the duck breast-side up on a rack in a roasting pan and roast for 1 hour. Take the bird out of the oven, transfer to a platter and carefully drain the fat from the pan into a measuring cup (you'll end up getting 2 to 3 cups). Return the duck to the pan, prick with the knife again, turn it breast-side down and roast another hour. Repeat each hour, roasting the duck for a total of 4 1/2 hours.
• While the duck cooks, make the sauce: In a small saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon duck fat over medium heat and cook the shallots until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the cherries, stock, preserves, honey and rosemary, and simmer until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the lemon juice, swirl in the butter and taste for salt and pepper. Set aside until the duck is finished.
• After 4 1/2 hours of roasting, turn the oven temperature up to 350 degrees F, prick the duck skin one last time, salt the skin again and return bird to the oven, breast-side up. Roast for 30 minutes until the skin is nicely browned.
• Remove from the oven, tent with foil and let rest for 20 minutes. Gently reheat the sauce over low heat. Carve the duck, put the pieces on a serving platter and serve with sauce.

ROSEMARY-BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the shallot; cook until the shallot has softened and turned translucent, about 3 minutes. Pour in the wine, cream, chicken broth, and lemon juice. Simmer until the liquid has reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Stir in the rosemary, season to taste with salt.

ROSEMARY CHICKEN WITH TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat half the oil in a non-stick pan, then brown the chicken all over. Add half the chopped rosemary, stir to coat, then set aside on a plate.
• In the same pan, heat the rest of the oil, then gently cook the onion for about 5 mins until soft. Add the garlic, anchovies and remaining rosemary, then fry for a few mins more until fragrant. Pour in the tomatoes and capers with the wine, if using, or 75ml water if not. Bring to the boil, then return the chicken pieces to the pan. Cover, then cook for 20 mins until the chicken is cooked through. Season and serve with a crisp green salad and crusty bread.
