Instructions

1. 1 Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
2. 2 Cut off potato ends; stand potatoes on end and peel from top to bottom with a sharp knife to make each potato into a uniform cylinder. Cut each cylinder in half crosswise to make 6 potato cylinders, each about 2 inches long.
3. 3 Place potatoes into a bowl of cold water for about 5 minutes to remove starch from the outsides.
4. 4 Heat vegetable oil in a heavy oven-proof skillet over high heat until slightly shimmers.
5. 5 Pat potato cylinders dry with paper towels; place cylinders with the best-looking ends into the hot oil. Reduce heat to medium-high; fry until well-browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.
6. 6 Flip potatoes; repeat on other ends. Blot out oil from the skillet carefully using a paper towel held with tongs as they cook. Add butter and thyme sprigs to the skillet.
7. 7 Paint butter over tops of potatoes with a thyme sprig using tongs. Cook until butter foams and foam turns from white to a pale tan color. Season with salt and black pepper. Pour chicken stock into the skillet.
8. 8 Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven; cook until potatoes are tender and creamy inside, about 30 minutes. Add ¼ cup more stock if potatoes aren't tender and cook 10 minutes more.

Ingredients

• ✓ thyme
• peking duck leg
• salt
• lemon
• garlic
• allspice berry
• juniper berry
• duck fat

Instructions

1. 1 Season duck legs with kosher salt on both sides. Place in a large resealable bag. Add lemon zest and slices, garlic, allspice berries, juniper berries, and fresh thyme. Seal the bag; massage duck legs through the bag until all of the ingredients are evenly dispersed. Marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
2. 2 Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
3. 3 Remove duck legs from the marinade. Rinse them off and pat dry. Place remaining marinade ingredients in the bag in the an oven-safe dish, preferably enameled cast iron or glass, just large enough to hold the legs in a single layer. Arrange legs skin-side down in the dish.
4. 4 Pour duck fat into a small saucepan and warm over low heat until liquid. Pour over legs until they are completely covered. If the legs are not covered, add olive oil until they are. As the legs cook, more fat will be rendered from the skin. Cover the dish with a lid.
5. 5 Bake in the preheated oven until the meat pulls easily from the bones, 6 to 7 hours.
6. 6 Remove legs from fat and place in a sealable container. You may leave the bones in or remove them. Make sure there is room at the top of the container. Strain all of the solids from the remaining fat and discard the solids. Pour the fat over the duck until it is covered completely. Seal and allow to cool to room temperature. Once cool, refrigerate and let duck meat cure for 2 months. Reserve any leftover duck fat for other uses.

Ingredients

• ✓ thyme
• bacon
• chicken thigh
• shallot
• rosemary
• garlic
• white wine
• mushroom
• chicken stock
• salt
• black pepper
• butter
• flour

Instructions

1. 1 Cook bacon in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain; reserve drippings in skillet.
2. 2 Add chicken thighs to the skillet; cook until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Add shallots, thyme, rosemary, and garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.
3. 3 Sprinkle bacon over chicken mixture; add wine. Simmer until wine is slightly reduced, 1 to 2 minutes. Add mushrooms and enough chicken stock to almost cover chicken. Cover skillet; simmer for 35 minutes. Taste sauce; adjust seasoning. Simmer until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 10 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted near but not touching the bone should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
4. 4 Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat; stir in flour and cook until a thick paste forms, about 1 minute. Whisk paste into skillet until sauce is thickened, 1 to 2 minutes.

Ingredients

• ✓ thyme
• beef chuck roast
• salt
• black pepper
• vegetable oil
• onion
• butter
• flour
• merlot wine
• beef broth
• carrot
• celery
• bay leaf

Instructions

1. 1 Generously season beef with salt and pepper.
2. 2 Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over high heat. Cook and stir beef in hot oil until browned on all sides, 10 to 15 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer meat to a plate.
3. 3 Cook and stir onion, butter, and a pinch of salt in drippings in the Dutch oven until onion begins to sweat. Stir in flour; cook and stir until onion starts to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Pour in wine; bring to a simmer and cook until wine is reduced by half, about 10 minutes.
