On Sunday, we decided to indulge in comfort food. What says comfort better than carbs, fat and garlic? Okay...chocolate. It's just not pictured on Alexa's plate.
So we looked up recipes for Chicken with 40 Cloves of Garlic and settled on a recipe originally published by Bon Appetit in 1967 (www.epicurious.com). While we had heard about this fabulous dish, neither of us had ever prepared it. With some minor adjustments to account for our lack of string and fresh herbs (How could the Marsh not have fresh rosemary, parsley, thyme or sage you wonder? As do we...), we cooked a delicious chicken. I don't know why we never made this before Sunday. I would like to have some right now. It was that good.
The mellow richness of the garlic cloves was wonderful spread on Crescent Rolls. We made mashed potatoes with red bliss potatoes, heavy cream and butter. Alexa enjoyed hers with Amish noodles nestled inside. And we included some avocado to have something green.
Not pictured, but enjoyed, was our fresh juice (carrot, celery, pink orange, apple and ginger) and Graeter's Coconut Chocolate Chip ice cream.
