Roast Pork with Cider Cream Sauce

Nov 27, 2007

A golden crust and apple-flavoured sauce add to this dish's appeal for entertaining. Choose a long, slender roast (rather than short and thick) because even though they cook in the same time, the slender one will be easier to slice and look more attractive on plates.

Persillade, a simple French mixture of parsley and garlic, adds elegance and flavour to meat. A pork roast is perfect for entertaining a small group since this cut is inexpensive but looks impressive. Choose either a six-bone rib roast or a centre-cut loin, which is usually cheaper.

This dinner is quick enough for weeknights but elegant enough for entertaining. The chicken can be stuffed using a spoon, but a disposable piping bag is much easier. Save the chicken filets, which are super tender for a stir-fry or chicken fingers. Serve with a side salad and sauteed vegetables.

While fresh salmon steaks are an extravagance, the sheer simplicity of preparation, the reliable good taste and the sense of celebration they bring to a meal make every flake worthwhile.

Honey Sage Chicken

Honey Sage Chicken

May 12, 2009

I love cooking and have been in the kitcken since I can remember. I also enjoy entertaining family & friends. My friends offen joke around and call me "Martha." Summer entertaining has always been my favorite. I'm always mixing up different ingredients to marinade or rub on meat, poultry and vegetables.

The honey and sage work really well together. This recipe has all the great components for a great marinade. The base, olive oil, honey for sweetness, the lemon juice for citrus and the sage to round all the flavors together.

The glaze really makes the chicken. It brings out the flavors in the marinade even more; the honey brings a nice sweetness, the lemon juice gives tartness and helps thin out the honey. Tabasco sauce helps kick things up a bit. For presentation this dish speaks for itself, but I like to garnish with whole fresh sage leaves and slices of lemons. I like to serve the chicken with baked potatoes and a simple side salad. This is a delicious dish and I hope you enjoy it as much as we have and it is also very affordable meal for entertaining, around $80.00 for a whole meal for 6-8 people. That's pretty good. Enjoy!
