My wife had a minor injury so is restricted to the couch and house for a few weeks. That's giving me a chance to do all the shopping and cooking.
After the wild goose dinner we had a few great sous vide tri-tip experiences,
At the same time in a different pan I combined petite tomato cubes with fresh garlic, basil, oregano, olive oil and red wine.
and some brown mushrooms (I cut the dark gills off before adding the mshrooms).
A nest of pasta seemed like a nice place for the chicken and sauce to land.
I combined the chicken and sauce to mingle the flavors and to get them both at the same temperature.
As presented to my wife, in a bowl with more fresh oregano and parsley on top.
A nice full-bodied wine from my friend Joey who makes mostly Italian varietals using local fruit he sources from lots of small vintners.
And of course a nice loaf of bread to soak up the sauce. My said she felt like dancing (but the doctor had warned her against such foolish behavior). Mission accomplished.
and a number of seafood dishes.
But then she requested chicken. Hmmm. Chicken. Costco rotisserie? No, not ready to make that trip on a busy afternoon.
So here's what I came up with on short notice: boneless, skinless chicken thighs cut into small pieces and sauteed in olive oil with salt and pepper.
