Looks nice, sartoric. Perhaps you might consider adding even more basil next time. :-)

 

Following on from the "Gardening" topic, here are a few stir-fries that I did in the past with lots of (Thai) basil (just use standard Western basil instead, it doesn't have to be Thai basil): here, here (scroll down), here (scroll down). Here's another soup w/ loads of Genovese basil *and* a noodle/pasta sauce with loads of basil also - here.

Cuban Mojo Rotisserie Chicken

Simple, but killer good! I like to truss the bird before it goes into the marinade. This just makes the follow on steps easier. This baby has spent the night in the arms of Morpheus (and olive oil, garlic, orange juice, lime juice, cilantro and a little S&P, all "zipped up" by an immersion blender).

Here she is just out of the marinade.  Beautiful, isn't she?

I just got a stand-by generator  that runs on propane and bought my own twin 120 gal propane tanks for the purpose. I had them run the gas line to my gas grill. No more worrying about running out of propane half-way through!!!

Here is what we have been waiting for. I served it with garlic cilantro lime rice and broccoli rabe.IMG_0037.thumb.JPG.b795e0a4b7e878646512f

Pizza.  Store-bought thin crust topped with sauce, mozzarella, chicken apple sausage, mushrooms, green onions and red bell pepper.  Cooked in the Breville Smart Oven.  In case you are wondering about the weird edges, I had to trim the crust a bit to fit in the largest size vacuum bag by sealer will accommodate (bought a 4-pack of crusts at Costco).

The holidays were really busy crazy (in a good way) so I haven't posted in awhile.  Here is tonight's dinner: pasta with bacon, ricotta and peas. And a salad,of course. Last night: chicken with peppers, olives and tomatoes, with potatoes simmered in olive oil and white wine. Both recipes are from a cookbook my daughter gave me for Christmas - The Italian Country Table by Lynne Rossetto Kasper  (the Splendid Table commentator). I think it was remaindered ( she's on a badly paid post-doc) and it has good recipes.
