Fall is in the air!

Porcini Pappardelle

1/4 cup Mia Sorella Wild Mushroom/Sage Olive Oil, divided

1 pound fresh porcini mushrooms, trimmed and sliced, divided

2 garlic cloves, peeled and lightly crushed, divided

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, optional

3 tablespoons Italian parsley, chopped

3/4 cup chicken stock

1 pound pappardelle

1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, divided

1  Bring 6 quarts of salted water to boil for the pasta.

2  Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add half the mushrooms and half the garlic; season to taste with salt and pepper, and saute until the mushrooms are lightly browned on both sides. Do not stir the porcini or they will break; rather, turn them gently with a spatula.

3  Transfer the cooked porcini to a plate, and repeat the process with the remaining oil, porcini and garlic.

4  Discard the excess oil and return all the porcini to the pan. Add the butter, if desired, and the parsley. Adjust the seasoning, add the stock, and simmer over medium heat about 1 minute.

5  Meanwhile, add the pappardelle to the boiling water and cook according to package directions. As soon as the pappardelle is done, drain well and add to the sauce over low heat. Add 1/4 cup of cheese and toss gently.

6  Serve immediately, with the remaining cheese at the table to be added according to taste.

Serves 4.

Pomegranate-Balsamic-Glazed Chicken

by Gabi Moskowitz

Prep Time 0:45

Cook Time 0:30

This sticky-sweet recipe helps satisfy cravings for BBQ chicken. Serve it with orange-coconut sweet potatoes and a green salad.

Ingredients

• 6 assorted pieces chicken, with skin
• 1/2 cup Mia Sorella Pomegranate Balsamic Vinegar
• 1/8 cup honey
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 4 sprigs fresh thyme
• salt and pepper to taste
• toasted sesame seeds

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
In a small bowl, combine balsamic vinegar, honey, brown sugar, thyme, salt and pepper. Stir until honey and sugar dissolves.
Place chicken pieces in a large zip-lock bag. Carefully pour marinade over them, press air out of bag and seal. Move bag around to ensure marinade disperses. Refrigerate bag for 30 minutes.
Remove chicken from bag and place in a large glass baking dish, spacing chicken evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until chicken is tender but fully-cooked.
While chicken cooks, carefully pour remaining marinade from bag into a small saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil (to kill bacteria), then lower heat to medium-low and simmer for 12-15 minutes until marinade is thick and syrupy. Remove from heat and carefully fish out thyme stems.
Once chicken has finished baking, brush glaze over each piece. Sprinkle generously with toasted sesame seeds and serve.
Serves 2-3.
