FLAMBEED RECIPES

Steps:

• Dust the chicken with the flour. Heat the oil and butter in a large, wide pan with a lid, add the chicken, then fry on all sides until nicely browned. Add the shallots, then fry for about 2 mins until they start to soften, but not colour. Pour in the brandy, carefully ignite, then stand well back until the flames have died down. Stir in the stock and bring to the boil. Reduce heat, cover, then cook for 15 mins until the chicken is just tender.
• Add the asparagus to the sauce. Cover, then cook for 5 mins more until tender. Stir in the crème fraîche and tarragon and warm through. Season to taste.

Steps:

• Place cod liver in a medium bowl; add orange juice and let stand 10 minutes. Place raisins and Grand Marnier in a small bowl; set aside.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Drain cod liver and pat dry. Add liver to skillet and cook, turning once, about 1 minute per side. Add raisin mixture to skillet and carefully ignite to flambee. Cook until flame dies out; remove from heat and serve.
