I prepared a new recipe tonight:. Ginger & lime chicken thighs. Very very easy. Mix 1/3 cup of mayo (I used much less) with a grated 3" piece of ginger and the zest of two limes. Slather it on the chicken breasts 1 1/2 lbs & let in marinade for a bit in the fridge. ( I let it sit 1 hour, but then my marinade was more intense because I only used maybe 1/6th cup of mayo). Grill the chicken or pan fry it until done and the skin is crispy.
Ha ! Can`t have that happen ! Tonight was baked chicken marinated with rosemary, broccoli cheese rice casserole and chopped tomato salad !
Mart, that sounds scrumptious! Tonight we are having chicken piccatta, onion and herb bread, and a tomato/cucumber salad with a nice chilled Pinot Grigio. When in doubt, go Italian!
I would but hubby thinks if it doesnt have gravy,, it isnt real food ! he doesn`t like any thing except southern country food ! boring ! but,, he is 88 years old,, cant say much !
Mart, my husband was raised on (ugh) Kentucky Fried Chicken, and some square put-together "fresh fish sandwiches" which were nether fresh and the "fish" was doubtful. It took me about four years to educate him to enjoy decent food. We learned together--I learned to cook/bake, and he learned that good food actually tasted good! Your husband can still be educated. Gravy ain't everything! At 88, it might take longer . . . .
That menu sounds very tasty, Cayu. We often eat chicken with lime or lemon marinade (we learned that one in Spain)....the ginger is such an interesting-sounding variation. You have my interest on that one!
I actually like KFC on occasion ! But,, he is the most stubborn,, set in his ways person you will ever meet ! Kind of like others that live in this area !
Mart, I've been told "you know what you like" when offering something not on the usual central Texas menu. Why would you try something new when you "know what you like"? How do you know what you like if you don't try it? And that's why we don't have dinner guests . . . .
@Odif I just made gazpacho too! It was delicious. So good, made with your own fresh grown produce! We had a socially distant dinner on our terrace with another couple. Platter of cheese & crackers, mozzarella balls with basil and tiny sungold tomatoes for appetizers. Then gazpacho, Risotto with shrimp, Cherrystone clams and asparagus. Yummy
Yes but getting some of these inhabitants to try it is the hard part ! So tonight is vegetable beef stew with cornbread ! one good thing is,, he loves Japanese, Korean and Chinese food ! The one thing we can almost never find the ingredients for except in packet form ! I like all food as long as the heat (pepper )doesn`t destroy the taste of everything else ! I like it warm to very warm but still want to taste the other stuff !
Mart, sounds like a good choice. If he is in his 80's and isn't interested, then it sounds like an uphill battle to expand his palette. Even the best of us can't help wanting others to appreciate the food we cook.
