SESAME BRAISED CHICKEN WITH SCALLIONS, DAIKON AND MUSHROOMS
On a search for a nontraditional take on chicken in a pot in 2012, Melissa Clark was hoping for something that avoided the flavors and "seasonings inherent in Continental cuisine" - white wine, leeks, bacon. She found an answer in this recipe, which relies on dry sherry, soy sauce and star-anise-infused sesame oil as its braising liquid. Daikon and shiitake mushrooms soak up the liquid and soften under its weight. Be sure to brown the bird, too. It won't crisp the skin, but it does add depth of flavor.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 450 degrees. Trim the roots off the scallions. Separate the dark green tops from the bottoms.
- In a 5- or 6-quart Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons peanut oil and 1.5 teaspoons sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the scallion bottoms, daikon, mushrooms and garlic cloves. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 7 minutes. Add the ginger and cook 1 minute more. Use a slotted spoon to transfer vegetables to a platter.
- Pat chicken dry; season inside and out with salt and pepper. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon peanut oil and 1.5 teaspoons sesame oil to the Dutch oven. Brown chicken, turning, until the skin is well browned. Turn chicken breast-side up. Scatter the vegetables around the chicken. In a small bowl, whisk together the stock, sherry and soy sauce. Pour over the chicken. Drop in the star anise pods. Tightly cover the pot and transfer to the oven. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink, 50 to 60 minutes.
- Remove to a cutting board. Skim fat from the surface of the cooking liquid. Chop the scallion tops and stir in, with the vinegar. Carve chicken and serve, topped with vegetables and pot juices.

CHICKEN AND VEGETABLE DONABE
Donabe refers to the Japanese clay pot traditionally used to make this warming dish. Clay holds heat for a longer period of time than other materials. This one-pot comforting donabe is made in a Dutch oven, which still keeps heat well and can accommodate a party of four. Chicken, vegetables and broth are combined in the pot and simmered together; as it cooks, the soothing broth is reinforced with fragrant aromatics and the flavorful juices from the chicken and vegetables. A citrusy ponzu sauce adds a bright, fresh finish to the otherwise mellow dish. Yuzu kosho, a Japanese fermented condiment made with fresh chiles, yuzu peel and salt, adds a pop of heat to the donabe, but it can be left out for a milder dish.

Steps:
- In a large Dutch oven, combine broth, garlic and ginger. Season chicken with salt and pepper, and add to pot. Bring to a boil over high, skimming the foam and fat that rises to the top and discarding it. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, occasionally stirring and skimming, until foam no longer appears in the broth, about 5 minutes.
- Add mushrooms, cabbage, daikon, scallions and carrot to the pot, arranging them in sections, and season with salt. Cover and simmer over medium to medium-low heat (maintain a good simmer, but do not boil) until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Discard ginger. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine ponzu, sesame oil and yuzu kosho (if using), and mix well.
- Divide donabe among four bowls. Drizzle with some of the ponzu sauce and serve warm.
