Caribbean-Style Roasted Chicken

Preheat oven to 400°F. Line baking sheet with foil. Chop green onions and habanero coarsely, discarding membranes and seeds if desired. Juice 4 limes (¼ cup). Place in bowl of food processor (or blender): green onions, habanero, lime juice, garlic, thyme, cilantro, parsley, adobo seasoning, cumin, and olive oil; process until smooth.

Remove neck and gizzards from chicken if needed. Place chicken breast-side down on cutting board, with "tail" closest to you. Cut along each side of the backbone with a sharp knife (or kitchen shears). Flip chicken and use heels of hands to press down on both breasts, cracking and flattening the breastbone. Spread out leg quarters. Tuck wing tips if desired.

Rub entire chicken with herb mixture; lift skin gently from breast and coat breast meat; place chicken skin-side up on baking sheet (wash hands).

Bake 55–65 minutes until thickest part of breast is 165°F and skin is crisp. Place chicken on cutting board and let rest 10 minutes; temperature will rise 5–10°F during this time. Cut remaining 1 lime into wedges. Cut chicken and serve with lime wedges.

Jerk Chicken and Coconut Pasta

Combine in large bowl: garlic powder, paprika, 2 tablespoons jerk paste, and 2 tablespoons oil; add chicken and toss to coat (wash hands). Cover and let stand 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, cut bell peppers into ¼-inch-thick slices. Chop garlic finely. Slice green onions thinly. Pierce Scotch bonnet pepper, leaving intact, if using.

Bring water to a boil for pasta in 4-quart stockpot. Preheat large, cast-iron (or heavy-bottomed) skillet on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Place 1 tablespoon oil and chicken in skillet. Cook 4–5 minutes on each side until chicken is well-browned and 165°F. Remove from heat and cover to keep warm.

Cook pasta following package instructions; drain and return pot to medium-high. Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil to pot. Stir in all peppers and one-half green onions. Cook and stir 2–3 minutes until crisp-tender. Stir in thyme sprigs and garlic. Cook and stir 1 minute.

Stir in coconut milk, broth, salt, and remaining 2 tablespoons jerk paste. Bring to a boil, then return pasta to pot. Cook and stir 1 minute or until heated through and pasta is coated; remove Scotch bonnet pepper. Slice chicken; top pasta with chicken, cheese, and remaining half green onions. Serve.

Hot Honey Barbecue Ribs

Preheat oven to 350°F (or preheat grill on medium). Combine blackening seasoning, brown sugar, and soy sauce. Rub mixture on both sides of ribs, then arrange ribs on foil in single layer (wash hands).

Bring up ends and sides of foil and double fold to seal pouch. Place foil pouch on baking sheet and bake 2 hours (or place pouch on covered grill 2 hours) or until ribs are 190°F (for sliceable).

Preheat oven to broil on HIGH. Combine barbecue sauce and hot honey. Open foil pouch and coat ribs with one-third sauce mixture. Leave pouch open; broil ribs on center rack 3–5 minutes (or remove ribs from foil and grill 6–8 minutes, turning often) until sauce is caramelized, basting with sauce mixture as needed. Serve with remaining sauce for dipping.

Seafood

Other Preparation Methods

Cornmeal-Crusted Catfish

Place fish, buttermilk, and 1 teaspoon seasoning in medium bowl; stir to coat and let stand 15 minutes. Combine cornmeal and remaining 1 teaspoon seasoning in shallow dish.

Preheat oil in large sauté pan on medium 3–5 minutes. Remove fish from buttermilk mixture, letting excess drip off, and place in cornmeal mixture, pressing with fingers to adhere evenly (wash hands). Place fish in oil and cook 3–5 minutes on each side until coating is golden and centers of fillets are 145°F. Combine tartar sauce and pimientos, serve with fish.

Braised Short Ribs with Root Vegetables

Peel potatoes, carrots, parsnips, and turnips, then cut into 2-inch chunks. Cut celery into 2-inch pieces. Coat beef with salt and pepper (wash hands).

Preheat large Dutch oven on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Pour in oil, then add ribs (in batches); cook 2–3 minutes on each side until browned. Remove and cover to keep warm; repeat with remaining ribs.

Add vegetables and tomato paste; cook and stir 2–3 minutes until tomato paste browns. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add stock, thyme, and bay leaves; nestle beef into liquid. Cover and simmer 1 ½–2 hours until beef is 145°F and vegetables are tender. Remove beef and vegetables.

Combine potato starch and water. Pour into stock mixture, whisking continuously until fully incorporated. Simmer 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mixture thickens. Cut each rib into 4 pieces. Serve beef with vegetables and gravy on the side.
