Jerk Chicken

And today we will be traveling to Jamaica! I feel like that's what this should be, a traveling food blog. Except I don't travel, I just make food from everywhere. Anyways, I made this with red beans and rice with sausage and I bought a Fischer and Wieser pineapple habanero sauce from H.E.B (local Texas grocery store).

Jerk Chicken with Red Beans & Rice


Ingredients:
  • 2tsp coriander seeds
  • 2tsp onion powder
  • 2tsp garlic powder
  • 2tsp allspice berries
  • 2tsp ground ginger
  • 2tsp dried thyme
  • 2tsp black peppercorns
  • 2tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2tsp granulated white sugar
  • 1tsp nutmeg
  • 1 Clove, whole
  • 1 tsp habanero chili powder or cayenne 
  • 1/2 lime, juiced
  • 1/4 C oil
  • 4 leg quarters
  • salt, as needed to taste
  • Zatarans: Red Beans and Rice with Sausage
  • Fischer and Wieser: Roasted Pineapple Habanero Sauce
Directions:
  1. Combine all spiced and grind in a coffee grinder. If you don't have one a mortar and pestle, a food processor, or even a Ziploc baggie and a rolling pin will suffice. 
  2. Place in a large bowl, add oil and lime juice. Mix to combine. Taste and adjust to preference. 
  3. Add chicken to bowl of spice mix and coat thoroughly.
  4. Marinate covered for a MINIMUM of 1 hour and a MAXIMUM of 12 hours. 
  5. Remove chicken from marinade.
  6. (If you have access to an outdoor grill, follow step 6. If you do not proceed to steps 7 and 8) Grill chicken to an internal temperature of 165 degree's F.
  7. Preheat oven to 350 degree's F
  8. Heat grill pan, coat lightly with oil and begin the grilling process. Transfer to a sheet tray and finish the cooking process in the oven until the internal temperature reached 165 degrees F.
  9. While your chicken is cooking prepare the rice to the box directions. 
  10. Plate and serve with Fischer and Wieser Pineapple Habanero Sauce
Holy flavor profile, Batman! This one is BANANAS! Everything about it is amazing. I love it! The Pineapple Hanabero sauce is just ONE of the Fischer and Wieser sauces that I have used and I love them all! They have a Raspberry Chipotle that it also great along with a Mango Ginger Habanero Sauce. Click this link for more by Fischer and Weiser.

Until next time

Chicken Tagine

:In the previous post I mentioned making this a traveling food blog and this is another recipe that backs up the fact that I should probably do that. Tagine, or tajine, is a North African dish. It's namesake is the pot in which it's cooked in. However, if that were the entire truth in this case it would be called like "Dutch Oven Chicken Legs" and that doesn't sound nearly as cool. Chicken Tagine with Couscous Ingredients: Tagine: 4 chicken legs salt and pepper, as needed 3 TBSP olive oil 3 large yellow onions, sliced 2 TBSP ground coriander 1 tsp black (or white) ground pepper 2 tsp ground ginger 2 tsp ground turmeric (not going to lie to you, if you've never worked with turmeric just know that it stains EVERYTHING!) 1 1/2 C chicken stock 1 preserved lemon, sliced(the instructions and ingredients for this will be listed next) 1 TBSP finely chopped parsley (for garnish, I used green onion because it's my favorite thing ev...

Garlic Knots

I LOVE making bread. Any and all kinds of breads. I started making breads the artisan way before using a stand mixer because A: I didn't have stand mixer and 2: I just wanted to be able to say that I can make bread from scratch by hand. So without further adieu... Garlic Knots Ingredients: garlic- about like maybe 3 cloves...? (vampire repellent) parsley (amateur chefs go to garnish) 1 1/2 tsp garlic salt (or just garlic powder and salt) 1 1/2 tsp sugar 1 stick of butter 1 1/2 C water (warm or hot. As long as it's not cold. The heat helps the yeast to activate) 1 pkg yeast  3 3/4 C bread flour 2 tsp salt 2 2/3 tbsp Olive Oil 1/4 C grated Parmesan cheese Directions: Add flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Mix. Add warm water and 2 tbsp of olive oil. Beat until dough forms ball. Kneed. Grease a large bowl with remaining olive oil. Place dough in bowl and cover. Let rise for 90 min or until doubled. (Or however long. Technically it...

Raspberry Chipotle Salmon

This is a dish I made for a contest my school was holding. We had to use a Raspberry Chipotle sauce from Fischer and Weiser. I made Top 10 finalists with this dish! I served it with asparagus and mashed potatoes and I'll give the recipe/ingredients for that too. Raspberry Chipotle Glazed Grilled Salmon Ingredients: Salmon filets (however many you require) a bundle of asparagus (or two) potatoes (for mashing) Fischer and Weiser Raspberry Chipotle sauce 3 cloves garlic-chopped or g lemon-zested and juiced 1 C any kind of fruity wine (I used Arbor Mist Mango and Strawberry) 3 TBSP butter (plus more for your potatoes) green onions or chives cream or milk  2 TBSP vegetable oil salt and pepper to taste Directions:   (These steps aren't necessarily in order. You'll want to reorder them because you don't want one side being colder than the rest. Time management and all.) Starting with the potatoes you're going to want to peel them and wash t...
