Negroni Chicken with Braised Blood Oranges

This is a great way to make chicken a bit more interesting. The chicken starts in a brine of water, salt, and sugar. Then it is transferred to a marinade of ground cloves, garlic, sweet vermouth, fresh thyme, cinnamon, orange peel , crushed red pepper, and olive oil. The chicken is baked and topped with a sauce of onions, juniper berries, chicken broth, red wine vinegar, and fresh marjoram. The extra-tasty part is the
braised orange. Thinly-sliced blood oranges are cooked with rosemary, butter, and chicken broth until they are very soft.

Mixed-Greens and Sausage Soup with Cornmeal Dumplings
This is a nice spicy soup. Shaun approves because there is meat and dumplings. It is a tomato-based soup with lots of ingredients. The highlights are andouille sausage, hot pepper sauce, allspice, and turnip greens. The soup cooks for a bit and then the dumpling batter goes in. These dumplings are made from cornmeal and accented with green onions.
