e're still in the thick of
summer and already
think-
ing about the High
Holidays because
this year, they are
earlier than ever —
and I mean ever, at
least in our collective
lifetime. According
to Wikipedia (and
I know this to be
true), "the earliest
date on which Rosh
Hashanah can fall
is Sept. 5, as hap-
pened in 1899 and will happen again
in 2013:'
This year, erev Rosh Hashanah
begins the evening of Wednesday,
Sept. 4, just two days after Labor Day.
It means I won't get a chance to
write about Labor Day picnic
food or August tomatoes this
month. Instead, we're going
straight into holiday foods,
including those apples and
honey recipes apropos for the
festivities.
This week's menu is all about
the proteins: entrees to anchor
the festive meals we often serve
for two days. While these are
more formal than the grilled
foods we've been eating all sum-
mer long, the remaining month's
recipes will be light and summery as
befits the weather.
BRAISED CHICKEN
WITH MUSHROOMS
You can also make this with boneless
and skinless chicken breasts — just
cook it about 20 minutes less.
extra-virgin olive oil
1 chicken (about 3 lbs.), cut into
6 pieces, or your favorite chicken
parts, with skin and bones
2 tsp. kosher salt
'/2 tsp. freshly ground pepper
2 cups sliced onions
1 Tbsp. chopped garlic
1'/2 pounds (24 oz.) sliced mush-
rooms
4 to 6 cups chicken stock
2 cups dry white wine
1 can (14-15 oz.) diced tomatoes
4 bay leaves
2 fresh thyme sprigs or 1 tsp.
dried thyme
'4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
2 Tbsp. dried parsley flakes
smoked paprika, garnish
Place the chicken pieces in the pan,
skin side down. Brown the chicken.
When the skin is browned, turn the
chicken pieces, and brown on the
other side (do not turn the chicken
until the skin is golden; the skin will
stick to the bottom of the pan and
will release when the skin is cooked
sufficiently). Remove the chicken to a
dish, and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium-high.
Add the onions and garlic, and cook
for another 1-2 minutes. Add the
mushrooms, stock, wine, tomatoes,
bay leaves, thyme, red pepper flakes
and parsley flakes, and cook stir-
ring occasionally until the liquid is
reduced by one-third.
Return the chicken to the pan.
Bring to a boil, and reduce to a sim-
mer for 30-40 minutes until the sauce
is thickened. Adjust salt and pepper
as needed.
Keep warm until ready to serve;
this recipe may be made in advance
and reheated. Serve sprinkled with
smoked paprika.

Coat a large deep-and-wide pan, or

paper towel, and season with salt and
pepper.

breasts).
