Delicious Chicken Marsala Over White Rice

By 1602 0

Here is a simple and delicious chicken Marsala recipe.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup uncooked white rice
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • salt to taste
  • ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 pinch dried oregano to taste
  • 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken cutlets, pounded to 1/4-inch thickness
  • 2 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup Marsala wine
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock

Preparation

Bring the rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Set rice aside. In a large bowl, whisk the flour with salt, black pepper, and oregano. Gently press the chicken breasts into the flour mixture to coat, and shake off the excess flour.

Heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange the chicken in the skillet and cook until the chicken is no longer pink inside and golden brown outside, 5 to 8 minutes per side. Drain the cooked chicken on a paper towel-lined plate.

Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in the same skillet over medium heat while scraping up any brown bits with a spoon. Stir in the garlic; cook and stir until fragrant. Add the mushrooms, and cook and stir until they are tender and have released their liquid, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper, then stir in the Marsala wine and chicken stock.

Transfer the chicken back to the skillet, and spoon sauce over chicken pieces. Increase heat to medium-high, and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until the the sauce is thickened, about 5 minutes more. Serve the chicken and sauce over the cooked rice.

Spain: Two-year-old fell into borehole found dead

By 1376 0

A two-year-old boy, who accidentally fell into a borehole in Malaga, has been found dead. The rescue team, who has tried everything possible to rescue the kid, has found it hard to believe that their efforts have not succeeded.

The accident happened when the boy and his family reached a plantation area in Malaga as part of their weekend trip. The boy went missing shortly after they reached the spot, where the 100 meters deep and only 25 cm wide borehole is located. At the initial stage, the family was unaware that there was a borehole in the region and their kid fell into it. It was a local officer who recognised the presence of the kid inside the hole. As soon as the presence of the kid was proved, every concerned department was alarmed. And, all entered into action within no time.

The rescue officials dug a parallel tunnel near the hole as part of their plan to rescue the kid. That tunnel was joined with the borehole with a horizontal hole.

It is evaluated that some miscalculations occurred in the initial stage of the planning of the rescue operation has contributed heavily to its failure.

A social group alleges that boreholes are very common in this part of the world. As per its opinion, it is a huge threat to the human life. It demands that a law should be formed to punish all irresponsible borehole owners.

Interestingly, the owner of the property where the borehole that caused accident is situated has informed the authorities that he was not aware of the existence of such a hole in his property.

It is not the first time the kid’s family has suffered the heat of tragedy; one of the kid’s brothers died of heart disease several years ago when he was just less than three years old.

ECHR orders Italy to pay huge compensation to US woman suffered ill-treatment from Italian police

By 1180 0

The European Court of Human Rights has ordered the Italian government to pay a huge sum of 18,400 Euro as compensation to Amanda Knox, the US citizen mistakenly arrested for the murder of her collage mate Meredith Kercher with whom she shared her room when she reached Italy as part of a student exchange program several years ago.

The court has not been completely convinced that she suffered ill-treatment when she was in the custody of Italian police, but it has found that the lady was not allowed to contact her lawyer and not granted the service of an interpreter.

Her main allegation is that she was badly beaten by the police officials in the initial days of the interrogation and was subjected to extreme mental and physical stress.

During the course of the trial, the case has gone through several twists and turns: initially, she was convicted; while she was servicing her third year in prison, she was acquitted and deported to her home country; within a year post her acquittal, a higher court found her acquittal wrong; anyway, when the final judgment of the top court came in the year 2015, she was acquitted of all charges related to the murder.

It was a few months ago that she was allowed by the ECHR to approach them against Italy. Then, there was allegation that it was the pressure from the US that forced the court to accept the lady’s case against Italy.

Most US citizens consider her as the victim of the improper judicial system of Italy. The world media has closely followed each and every development in the case.

Meanwhile, the other part of the story is that the international interference has badly affected the case. Though a person has been arrested in connection with the case, the police have not found answers to all questions necessary to unfold the mystery of the case.

Trump bid to end government shutdown fails

By 1224 0

In a blow to US president Donald Trump, the Senate has rejected two bills to end the US shutdown. Trump demands down payment for wall to end shutdown. The US shutdown enters almost 34 days with no end in sight. This is the longest partial government shutdown in the US history.

About 800,000 of federal workers struggle to cover their bills. The senate rejects the bills to open Government. On Monday, the Senate has released a bill flashing an offer that Trump had made to reopen the unfunded quarter of the government. As the chamber plans to take up the measure later this week, it will definitely fail to meet the 60-vote threshold.

The chamber desides to take up that proposal on Thursday afternoon. If this fails, Senate will take up a Democratic-backed bill to fund the government through February.

Yellow-vest to field its candidates in EU parliament election

By 1071 0

This year’s European Union parliament election is likely to witness a very unusual phenomenon: the emergence of an anti-elitist group yellow-vest (the group formed in France to protest, in short, against the fuel price hike, and, in large, against the elitist behaviour of the country’s ruling and its remoteness to the genuine grievances of the common people such as the price hike, rent hike and the labour issues).

In the European parliament election which is scheduled to take place on 23 May this year, the yellow-vest, which has jolted the streets of France and forced to the French president, Emanuel Macron, to drop his ambitious plan to increase the fuel tax, has decided to field as many as ten candidate, leaving behind the question whether they will expand the list of candidate in the run-up to the EU election to the imagination of the public.

In the list of ten, Ingrid Levavasseur is the most prominent one. She is a poor care worker, and is the representative of the larger population, which is totally unfamiliar with the elitist faction of the modern France.

Many evaluate the development as the rebirth of socialist populism in France. If the yellow-vest passes this crucial litmus test, the experiment will be repeated in the future elections also in France.

EU insisted suppression on ‘golden passports’ for big investors

By 1337 0

The EU Commission had insisted EU states for tight checking on non-EU nationals with ‘golden passports’ through investments. The commission says that the granting of ‘golden visas’ might be leading to tax evasion, money-laundering and other forms of corruption. So, a thorough checking is being planned for the schemes regarding ‘golden visa’ granting residence in exchange for big investments.

According to reports, wealthy candidates for residency or citizenship do not face sufficient security and background checks to prevent them from posing a security risk or laundering money. Some of the non-government organisations have already marked countries such as Malta, Cyprus and Bulgaria for offering wealthy foreigners citizenship that allows them to move freely in most of the 28-nation bloc. Many other countries grant residence permits to foreign investors. Hence the EU commission had presented this stunning report regarding the risks of the ‘golden visa business’
