Yum yum yum. Chicken recipe here. Salad/Cigar recipe here.
I adapted the chicken recipe quite a bit, because it was a last-minute decision to make it and I didn’t have the exact right ingredients on hand, but the basic gist was still the same…browned, then simmered with tomatoes and peppers. Caramelized/roasted cauliflower on the side.
The salad and cigars were fantastic. The smokey, gooey cheese (a bit hard to find, but worth effort) and the sweet, chewy tomatoes were delicious together. The salad (with cigars) is hearty enough to be a main dish, but since we were using it as a side, I only put half a cigar on each portion. Also, for the dressing, I didn’t want to open a bottle of champagne just to make it, so I made a vinaigrette with champagne vinegar, instead. Delicious.
