0 October 15th, 2008

Servings: 4 Servings
Category: Main dish | Seafood | China | Submitted
Ingredients

  • 3/4 lb Prawns; raw
  • 1 1/4 tb Beans, black
  • 1 Garlic cloves; chopped
  • 1 Scallions; chopped
  • 1 tb Oil
  • 1/2 ts Salt

Prepare the prawns by cutting off whiskers, cutting along the top of the shell, and deveining them. Leave the shells on the prawns because this keeps the prawns more tender, tasty and plump. Wash, drain and put prawns in a pie pan so as to be ready for steaming. Wash black beans two times and mash into a paste; then add the chopped garlic. Combine remaining ingredients, EXCEPT the oil. Pour mixture over prawns; then, pour oil on top. Cover and steam 10 minutes. Serve over rice. SOURCE: Chopstick, Cleaver and Wok.

Artichoke-Stuffed Chicken Breast

0 October 15th, 2008

Servings: 6 Servings
Category: Main dish | Poultry | Jaw
Ingredients

  • 6 4 oz chicken breasts
  • 1 Clove garlic
  • 1 1/2 c Frozen or canned artichoke
  • Hearts, rinsed and drained
  • 1 Egg yolk
  • 2 tb Heavy cream
  • 1 c Fresh bread crumbs
  • Dash nutmeg
  • 1/3 c Chopped fresh parsley,
  • Divided
  • 1/4 c Chicken broth
  • Paprika

Directions
Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Grease a baking pan. Salt and pepper the chicken breasts. With a very sharp small knife, cut a pocket horizontally into each breast. Do not cut in half. Set aside while you make the stuffing. In a food processor, place the garlic, artichoke hearts, egg yolk, cream, bread crumbs, nutmeg and about 1/4 cup of parsley. Process to mix, but do not puree. Place 2 to 3 tablespoons of stuffing in each breast pocket. Do not close the pocket-the stuffing will puff up and out a bit. Place the stuffed breasts in the baking dish. Pour the chicken broth over the chicken. Sprinkle with paprika. Bake 12 to 15 minutes. Place the breasts on a platter, spoon the pan juices over and sprinkle with reserved 2 tablespoons parsley.
