    Title: Authentic Pepper Pot Soup
    Categories: Soups, Offal, Pork, Vegetables, Herbs
    Yield: 10 Servings

    1 lb Honeycomb tripe
    5 sl Bacon; diced
    1/2 c Chopped onion
    1/2 c Chopped celery
    3 Leeks; chopped
    1 bn Fresh parsley; chopped
    2 md Bell peppers; cored, diced
    2 qt Beef stock
    1/4 ts Dried thyme
    1/2 ts Dried marjoram
    1/2 ts Ground cloves; (opt)
    1/4 ts Crushed red pepper flakes
    1 Bay leaf
    1 ts Ground black pepper
    1 lg Potato; peeled, diced
    2 lg Carrots; diced
    4 tb Butter
    4 tb A-P flour

    Place the tripe or other meat that you have selected to
    use in a saucepan, and cover with water. Bring to a
    boil, and turn off the heat. Allow the meat to cool a
    bit in the water, and then drain and rinse. Cut in 1/4"
    pieces.

    In a large heavy kettle, saute the bacon until crisp.
    Add the onion, celery, leeks, parsley, and green
    peppers; saute until tender.

    Stir in beef stock, thyme, marjoram, cloves, red pepper
    flakes, bay leaf, and black pepper. Bring the kettle to
    a boil, and turn down to a simmer. Cook, covered, until
    meat is very tender, about 2 hours.

    Add the diced potato and carrots, and cook for an
    additional 20 minutes.

    Prepare the roux by stirring the flour into the melted
    butter and cooking for a moment on the stove. When the
    soup is done to your liking, stir in the roux. Simmer,
    stirring all the while, until the soup thickens a bit.
    Correct the seasonings.

    Yield: 8 - 12 servings

    Title: Cranberry-Orange Chicken
    Categories: Poultry, Fruits, Citrus
    Yield: 4 servings

    5 Navel oranges
    4 (to 6) bone-in, skin-on
    - chicken thighs
    Salt & pepper
    1 lg Shallot; sliced
    2 1/2 c Fresh or frozen cranberries
    1 (3") cinnamon stick
    5 tb Honey

    Set the oven @ 425ºF/218ºC.

    Trim the ends off 1 orange, then cut into ?-inch-thick
    slices and reserve. Pat the chicken dry using a paper
    towel and season generously with salt and pepper on all
    sides.

    Heat a large (12"), heavy, ovenproof skillet or braiser
    over high. Place the chicken, skin-side down, in the
    skillet and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, until the skin
    turns crisp and lightly golden with brown spots here and
    there. You’ll want to partly cover the dish to contain
    some of the splattering.

    Meanwhile, grate the zest of 2 oranges into a bowl, then
    squeeze in their juice and the juice of the remaining 2
    oranges.

    After the chicken has crisped on one side, flip it and
    cook for 3 minutes on the other side. Transfer the
    chicken to a plate. Reduce the heat to medium-high.

    Add the shallot and orange slices to the skillet. Cook,
    stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes, until both the
    shallot and orange have softened and developed some dark
    spots on the surface. Add the reserved orange zest and
    juice to the pan. Using a wooden spoon, scrape the bits
    off the bottom of the pan into the orange juice. Simmer
    for 4 minutes, until the orange juice has reduced and
    reached a dark orange color.

    Add the cranberries, a hefty pinch of salt, a few cracks
    of black pepper, the cinnamon stick, 3 tablespoons of
    the honey and 3/4 cup of water to the skillet. Mix
    everything until combined. Bring the mixture to a
    vigorous boil and tuck in the chicken thighs, skin-side
    up, adding any accumulated juices, and continue
    simmering for 4 minutes.

    Place the skillet in the oven and cook for 12 minutes,
    until the chicken is cooked through. Drizzle the
    remaining 2 tablespoons of honey over the chicken. Heat
    the broiler and broil the chicken for 1 to 2 minutes,
    until the honey on top caramelizes. Remove the cinnamon
    stick and serve.
