Sunday night dinner. 4 large, grilled chicken breasts from the farmers mkt, marinated with my double-secret blend* consiting of 4 chipotle's, 1 ancho chile and other goodies you most likely have in your kitchen. I'm still working to perfect it. Corn from our co-op cooked on the grill as well. Yorke hooked it up with the potato hash. There wasn't anything different in it than normal, which is usually good, but for some reason it was probably her best effort yet. The potatoes were from the co-op as well. We grilled them yesterday thinking we were going to eat them, but didn't. Kept them in the fridge overnight. Maybe that had something to do with it. And the tomatoes and basil from our garden. Most definitely at least a 4 nom dinner.
*4 chipotles(meco or ahumado) and one ancho chile soaked in water to soften. Slice them up and remove about half the seeds.
2 teasp ground kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper.
1-2 teasp cumin or paprika if you'd rather use that.
1/2 cup olive oil
2 teasp cayanne pepper
2 tbsp worcesteshire
2-3 tbsp brown sugar
a couple healthy squeezes of honey
about 1/4 cup lime juice
about 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
I just kind of go by sight on what I put in, so that's why I have the 1-2 or about on there.
Just an FYI, there are different kinds of chipotle's. I just found this out myself. The farmers mkt has the meco kind. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chipotle Apparently these are better than the "morita" variety since they're smoked/dried for longer. At least that's what someone on the internet said.
Nice looking meal but you need to use a better camera to capture the full effect, made me salivate though...
