#12 - Chicken & Onion Stew
 
A northeast wind has been blowing hard all day on Cuttyhunk so I knew it was going to be the perfect night for a hearty soup. I prepared one of my family's all time favorite dishes from one of my favorite restaurants ~ Amoul's Deli in Little Venice, London. Oliver ate 3 bowls!
 
Chicken & Onion Stew
1 whole chicken 
1 teaspoon salt
2 pounds onions, sliced thinly (sounds like a lot but believe me you need them!)
2 Tbsp Wildtree Roasted Garlic Grapeseed Oil
1 garlic clove, peeled
2 large cinnamon sticks
1 whole nutmeg
1 TBSP Apple Cider Vinegar
 
Place the chicken, cinnamon sticks, nutmeg, garlic, vinegar and salt into a pot. (I love to use my Le Creuset pot  for this!) Cover with water and bring to a boil. Reduce to simmer and cook until the chicken is completely cooked (about 30 minutes, although this will depend on the size of the chicken). I prefer to let it simmer low and slow (3-4 hours) to leach all the nutrients from the bones which the vinegar helps to do. If the water evaporates, add a little more.
 
Once the chicken has cooked completely, remove it from the pot (leave liquid in pot although make sure you strain it) and let cool so that you can remove the meat from the bones. Throw the bones away and put the meat back into the pot with the liquid.
 
Meanwhile, put the oil in a frying pan over medium heat, and when it is hot but not smoking, add the onions and sauté until well browned. Add a little water to the pan to scrape up all the fond and then add it all to the pot with the chicken and simmer for 20 minutes.
 
Serve over short grain brown rice with a squeeze of lemon.

#11 - Tomato Soup and Grilled Cheese
 
It's a cool foggy day on Cape Cod, perfect night for soup and sandwiches.
 
Tomato Soup and Grilled Cheese
2 pounds tomatoes, chopped (about 8 tomatoes)
1 yellow onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
3 tablespoons Wildtree Natural Grapeseed Oil
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 cup Wildtree Chicken Bouillon Soup Base, prepared according to package directions
4 slices whole wheat bread
4 teaspoons Wildtree Sweet Onion Spread,
4 ounces Manchego cheese
2 slices prosciutto
2 teaspoons Wildtree Natural Grapeseed Oil

 
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. In a bowl toss together the tomatoes, onion, bell pepper, Grapeseed Oil, salt, and pepper. Transfer to a lightly greased baking sheet. Roast for 35-40 minutes. Carefully transfer the contents of the baking sheet (including the juices) to a blend. Add the Chicken Bouillon and blend until completely smooth. Leave the soup in the blender with the lid on while you make your grilled cheese. Spread 1 teaspoon of the Sweet Onion Spread on all 4 slices of bread. Top two of the slices with 1 ounce of cheese, 1 slice of prosciutto, the remaining 1 ounce of cheese, and the top slice of bread. Brush both sides of each sandwich with Grapeseed Oil. Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook each sandwich until both sides are golden and cheese has melted. Slice each sandwich in half; serve with the prepared tomato soup
