And now for something completely different. It’s been a while since I posted (too much work, too little writing), but I’m still standing. Thanks to great weather and being surrounded by a family of foodies, I’ve been pursuing another passion of mine: good food. It ain’t Shakespeare, but while I rebuild the writing engine enjoy the culinary delights. Click the photos to enlarge and read a short description.
Today’s subject is spatchcock chicken, which is a fancy way of saying back and breastbone removed. The fresh peas were later married to grilled baby new potatoes and seasoned simply with shallots, garlic, and a little pancetta.
- carefully selected spices
- pablanos … stuffed with ricotta, apples, bacon, jalapenos, etc.
- fresh from the Downtown Farmers Market… definitely worth the time spent shelling
- smoked salt, absolutely amazing topper!
- Properly spatchcocked, this second bird cooked over coals and stayed together.
