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

Basic Pancakes

This is the most basic and simple pancake recipe and the pancakes come out so thick and fluffy it's ridiculous. Once I started making pancakes from scratch I never got them from a box or a Bisquick Shake & Make. No offense but honestly...where's the comparison here? I don't have an actual picture of the pancakes because I haven't made any here lately but as soon as I make some I will take a picture and delete this whole last sentence!  Basic Pancakes Ingredients: 1 Egg 1 1/2 C flour 3 1/2 tsp baking powder (and make sure its a TEASPOON and not a TABLESPOON. I confused the two once and ended up having to make sooo many pancakes because you can't really take it out once its in there so I just added more flour and everything else. What's a girl to do?) 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 C sugar 1 1/4 C milk Directions: Combine wet ingredients Combine dry ingredients Mix together Heat pan to medium heat (either a greased pan or a nonstick if you f...

Banana Pudding

Just so you're aware before you get into this and then you're like "Wait...whaaaa-?" This is NOT  your momma's banana pudding recipe. Unless it is. All I know for sure about momma's and banana pudding is that this ISN'T my momma's recipe but she DOES love it.  Banana Pudding Ingredients: milk (good ol' certified cow calcium) (1) 3.4 oz box Banana Pudding mix (Instant or heat and serve. I used heat and serve without reading the box and needless to say it took me two tries to get it right. I also grabbed Banana CREAM pudding instead of regular banana... I don't pay a lot of attention to things. Anyways, all are great options. You can even make your own pudding if you'd care to.) Nilla Wafers (please please please please grab the Name Brand Nilla wafers and not the Walmart Great Value brand. Nothing against Great Value or any off brand labels but NIlla Wafers are not the same as "Vanilla Flavored Wafer Cookies") ...

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...
