BAREFOOT CONTESSA GAZPACHO RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
• Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet. Loosen the skin from the meat with your fingers, leaving one side attached.. Cut 12 thick slices of the Montrachet and place 2 slices plus a large basil leaf under the skin of each chicken breast. Rub each piece with olive oil and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Bake the breasts for 35 to 40 minutes, until just cooked through. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Cut the kernels from the cobs and set the kernels aside. Place the cobs, onions, lemongrass, and garlic into a 6 quart saucepan or Dutch oven and add the water.
• Bring the pot to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook, partially covered, for one hour.
• Using tongs, remove the corn cobs from the pot and discard. Skim out all of the rest of the solids (onion, lemongrass, and garlic) with a skimmer or a fine mesh sieve.
• Stir in the coconut milk, half of the corn kernels, the diced potato, and the curry powder. Return to a simmer, and cook, partially covered, for 10 minutes. The potatoes should be fully cooked and tender.
• Turn off the heat and puree the soup with an immersion blender until very smooth. You can also use a stand blender by blending it in batches.
• Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Don't skimp.
• Add the rest of the corn kernels. Bring the soup back to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Add the wontons and simmer for about 5 minutes.
• Serve with the cilantro, scallions, and lime wedges.
• Stir together the lobster meat, lemon juice, and salt in a bowl.
• Working with one wonton/dumpling wrapper at a time, place two teaspoons of the lobster in the center.
• Dip your finger into a bowl of water and spread the water around the rim of the wrapper. Draw the center of both halves of the wrapper together and seal, and then seal the wrapper all around to form a half moon.
• Press out any excess air.
• Repeat with the rest of the wrappers and lobster meat.
