Peruvian chicken first effort

Is that a little cilantro lime rice?

[Mik]

Yeah, but you really don’t need the skin. It was the best thing I’ve cooked this year.

[George K]

How spicy? Mrs. George would balk.

[Mik]

I toned it down a lot from what would tickle my palate. The chicken was not particularly spicy. The sauce had a nice mild burn on the back end. Most salsa is hotter. I cut the hot stuff down to about 25% of what the recipe called for.

Looks like it came out great. Very nice.

I might have to give similar a try.

Sounds great.

Also sounds like a non-starter for Mrs. George.

You know there’s actually an aji Amarillo risotto recipe out there?

[Mik]

Yeah but Zatarain’s makes an easy lime cilantro rice.

However I would like the recipe as I have a jar of three Peruvian pepper pastes to use.

[Horace]

Looks great. Never mind that I'm fasting today and everything looks great.

We probably need a schedule so we do not torment you. I'm kind of mean but not cruel.

You probably need to stay focused on the meat loaf campaign.

Good point. I'm making progress. She liked this. Similar to the other stuff, but more saucy.

I didn't sleep well last night because I was so hungry. I am considering a bit of protein before sleep rather than strict 36 hour fasts. Sleep is too important to sacrifice.

My next adventure. I also ordered the Espilette pepper.

By the way, the green sauce is killer on scrambled eggs if you have any left over.

Cooking this now. The key to flavor is the reduction. It always takes longer than they say it will.

The smell is fantastic.
