rosé chicken with shallots, garlic, tomatoes and oregano

Am I the only one with about a half cup of dry rosé wine in my fridge? Just enough in the bottle to make rosé chicken with shallots, garlic, tomatoes and oregano? Well if you're one of the lucky ones and also have a small amount of rosé then carry on. Please make this highly edible chicken recipe for dinner. Fortunately my recipe for baked chicken thighs also makes a generous amount of sauce in the pan, so it would be lovely served with a rice pilaf or French bread and a leafy green salad 🥗 just to round things out. If you have a cast iron skillet then use it here as it is the perfect pan for a baked chicken dish with all it's tomatoes, shallots, rosé wine and herb sauce.

Ingredients and Recipe for Rosé Chicken with Shallots, Garlic, Tomatoes and Oregano 🌿
Serves 4

4 bone-in skinless boneless chicken thighs

4 large size shallots, chopped

4 cloves minced garlic

2 good size sprigs fresh Greek oregano, about 30 leaves plus extra for garnish

1 generous cup cherry tomatoes

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1/8 teaspoon Aleppo pepper

Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1/2 cup dry rosé

Heat the oven to 375F.

Pour 1 tablespoon of olive oil into a cast iron skillet, spread the shallots and garlic over the bottom.

Place the chicken thighs on top of the shallots and fill in open spaces with cherry tomatoes.

Divide the oregano leaves between the chicken thighs, pressing in the leaves, sprinkle with sea salt, black pepper and the Aleppo pepper.

Pour in the rosé, being careful to pour around the chicken.

Drizzle the top with remaining olive oil.

Bake for about 1 hour.

Remove from the oven and if the sauce is too thin, remove the chicken and bring the sauce to a boil to reduce. Return chicken to the pan and serve, or cool and refrigerate in the pan to serve later.

springtime chamomile tea cake with strawberry icing

Good grief, Easter is in the rear view mirror and we are deep into this new year. And once again it's tea time at my house. This chamomile tea cake is a beautiful sweet addition to any tea ritual, especially my favorite, chamomile tea, which I rediscovered in my hotel room in Carmel earlier this fast moving year. I highly recommend a slice of chamomile tea cake with strawberry 🍓 icing with a cup of chamomile tea to just take a moment and slow this year down. Baking with tea is both creative and fun. Earlier this year I made Earl Gray sugar cookies which are made using the same method of infusing the butter with loose tea. For my tea cake I also rubbed the lemon zest into the sugar -another way to lend a pop of citrus to your baking. The strawberry icing is made using freeze dried strawberries, I pulverize them in my spice mill and then they are pressed through a fine sieve into the confectioner's sugar. In addition to using lemon zest rub...

chermoula spiced multi colored cauliflower salad

What do you do when you've said, "no"to the same person so many times that you feel like a new approach is needed, like I'll get back to you, or say something that's not true- I did that or whatever when you haven't done anything at all. Or you could try being honest and say I'm never going to say yes or do that thing that you keep asking me about, not going to happen in this lifetime. I wish that everything in life would be as straight forward as making a salad, especially a salad that could be made ahead of time and brought to a potluck in a beautiful handmade pottery bowl. Should you tell people at the potluck that you made the bowl yourself? In your pottery studio overlooking the Pacific Ocean ?? Probably should draw a line on that one, I don't know, maybe you could give it a try. Or you could share that you made up the recipe while doing brain surgery. Might be a good way to make some crazy new friends because the people you know alre...
