Rustic, but not simple, as it gets and so very satisfying. The combination of tender polenta and some sort of saucy meat is a classic. This one, based on a recipe from the book Hello! My Name is Tasty (I’m loving this book and I wrote about it previously here), is an excellent example ofContinue reading “Sugo and Polenta with Over- Easy Egg”

Lardo Tipico
Man is this good. Like very very good. It’s another one of those posts here that did not start as a planned blog post, hence the no preparation pictures. I wish I had taken some. Oh well, maybe next time since I am sure there will be a next time. After months in the cure,Continue reading “Lardo Tipico”
Thai Green Curry with Apple Eggplants, Tofu and Chicken – Cucumber and Cabbage Salad
It’s Thai dinner night again and I love it. The rest of the family, especially the kiddos, not so much. No matter, I’m craving a rich spicy coconut based curry with tons of flavor and that’s what I made. A refreshing crunchy tart Thai salad is always a must to balance the meal. Making theContinue reading “Thai Green Curry with Apple Eggplants, Tofu and Chicken – Cucumber and Cabbage Salad”
Boneless Stuffed Chicken Wings with Black Bean Sauce
Superbowl and wings are perfect party companions. I made wings this Superbowl Sunday but I did not just fry some wings and toss them in hot sauce (as delicious as that is). These are boneless wings stuffed with zippy pork dumpling filling and tossed in a fermented black bean sauce. Boneless chicken “wings” have beenContinue reading “Boneless Stuffed Chicken Wings with Black Bean Sauce”

TheContinue reading “Chicken, Preserved Lemon and Freekeh”
Chicken, White Wine and Porcini Fricassee, Simple Risotto with Verjus
I cooked this when mom mom was visiting recently. I’m glad she loves Italian food as much as I do and especially risotto, pesto sauces and any form of pasta. Really, who doesn’t? I have a nice pasta dish coming up soon but for now it’s a soul satisfying dish from one of my go-toContinue reading “Chicken, White Wine and Porcini Fricassee, Simple Risotto with Verjus”
Chicken Roulade, Tomato Gravy and Crispy Roast Potatoes
Free range chicken like the ones I get from Yonder Way are delicious. These are birds that were never caged and are free to roam around and be as active as they like. The result is tasty chicken but not one as tender as the fryers you can get from the grocery store. These areContinue reading “Chicken Roulade, Tomato Gravy and Crispy Roast Potatoes”
Historic Heston: The Chicken Liver Parfait
I hesitate to call anything perfect or the ultimate or the best, but really this chicken liver parfait is it…at least for now. I have made rich and decadent chicken liver mousse before but this recipe (itself part of another recipe) uses a couple of techniques that result in the most luxurious pink hued chickenContinue reading “Historic Heston: The Chicken Liver Parfait”
