Gochujang Glazed Chicken with Roast Savoy Cabbage

March 5, 2020 No Comments

When I was growing up, roast chicken was a Sunday night staple. Add a side of mashed potatoes and a roast carrot or two and you could call it a party. These days, I still find myself roasting a bird on the occasional Sunday, but the ol’ salt and pepper with a side of potatoes just doesn’t thrill me anymore. To be honest, I don’t think it thrilled me then, I sort of think that’s what I liked about it. And while the classic will always be a classic, I can’t help but mess with that all too familiar chicken dinner. This Gochujang Glazed Chicken is the latest installment in my poultry-related experiments.

For the past couple of years, Cacio e Pepe has been having a moment and it’s not hard to see why. A tangle of pasta dressed in pecorino and a cascade of black pepper – who can be mad at that? But I often wonder what life-long lovers of Cacio e Pepe think about this phenomenon. At first, I’m sure it was a “Duh, where have you been?” feeling. But with the onslaught of Cacio e Pepe-ized foodstuffs, I’m sure they’re feeling a little attacked. Cacio e Pepe chips, fries, pizza, even beignets – it’s probably a little too much. I can sympathize, but I have to be true to who I am and I am incapable of reading a room. So, here I am, adding fuel to the blasphemous fire, with my Cacio e Pepe Pierogies.

Every year, when we near the end of February, I feel at once excited and disappointed. On the one hand, my least favorite month is done and dusted. But on the other, there’s still March and, in some ways, March can be much worse. In March, you have the expectation that the weather will be on an upswing. But anyone who’s lived in Canada will tell you, March can be a full-on winter month. Heartbreaker, that’s what March is. And since this is the month we’re embarking on and it’s currently snowing like all-get-out, let’s find solace in carbs, shall we? This pan of Mini Meatball Cannelloni should do quite nicely.

Za’atar Potato Chips with Whipped Feta Dip

If you think the recipes on this blog are a window into what I eat in my daily life, you’re sorely mistaken. Sure, there are dishes that work their way into my weekly rotation. But no I’m certainly not hand pleating dumplings on a Tuesday night. I want the food that appears on this blog to be special. ‘Company’s coming’ kind of food. Or ‘I feel like puttering around and being cozy in the kitchen’ kind of meals. So, when I call for deep frying, please believe this is not an everyday occurrence in our house. I don’t do it effortlessly on a daily basis. So yeah, I don’t ask you to deep fry something lightly. But when I do call for it in a recipe, you best believe it’s for a good reason and these Za’atar Potato Chips are a VERY good reason.
