Creamed Chicken with Garlic Mashed Potatoes and Harvard Beets
2 to 3 pounds chicken, cut into stewing pieces
one quarter pound butter (1/4 pound)
2 medium onions, diced
2 cans chicken broth
3 cups heavy cream
2 cups mochiko
one half cup parsley, chopped (1/2 cup)
salt and pepper, to taste
In your favorite braising pot, melt butter and brown chicken and onions
about 5 to 8 minutes. Stir from time to time on medium heat, until
chicken is lightly browned. Add broth to cover and let simmer for 30
minutes.
Skim off fat, add cream and bring to a boil. Cook for 2 minutes. Thicken
with a paste of mochiko mixed with water. Pour the paste slowly into
cream sauce and keep stirring and cooking for about 3 minutes, or until
it reaches the desired consistency. Adjust seasoning with salt and
pepper to taste and fold in parsley. Garlic Mashed
Potatoes:
two and one quarter pound potatoes (2 1/4 pounds)
4 whole cloves garlic
one half pound butter (1/2 pound)
3 ounces cream
white pepper and salt, to taste
Peel and cut potatoes into 1-inch cubes. In a pot, cover the potatoes
with cold water, add garlic and bring to a boil. Cook for 8 to 10
minutes, or until done. Drain. Puree in a food processor or whip with an
electric mixer. Add the butter and cream. Season with salt and white
pepper.
Harvard Beets:
2 cans sliced beets
2 Tablespoons sugar, or more to taste
1 Tablespoon vinegar, or more to taste
2 Tablespoons cornstarch, mixed with one and one half Tablespoons water
(1/1/2 Tbsp.)
Dash of white pepper
Bring to a boil the sugar, beet liquid, and vinegar. Gradually add
cornstarch mixture, cooking and stirring until you get the consistency
you like. You may need to make more cornstarch paste if you want it
thicker. Some beets come packed in more liquid than other, you may need
to adjust the amount of sugar and vinegar until you get just the right
balanced taste of sweet and sour.
Add a dash of white pepper, fold in the beets and heat through.
