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 rubbed into the sugar for the cake

pear jam with saffron infused honey and cardamom

Pear Jam with Saffron Infused Honey and Cardamom The summer after high school I worked sorting Bartlett pears at the Scotts Valley Fruit Exchange in Lake County California. I thought I would never touch or eat another pear again in my life. But, here I am years years later making pear jam in my kitchen with pears, honey and saffron grown in Lake County. A few weeks ago My husband and I went to visit friends in Kelseyville at their finca, they generously supplied me with the pears from their orchard-Finca Castelero- for my jam. I will never forget getting up early in the morning and riding my bike across the valley from my cousin's house to work a long hot day sorting pears. I remember thinking whoever came up with the idea of creating a cooperative to sort, pack and send pears from family farms, including my cousin's family farm on what is now called Hendricks road, to markets all over the country really had a good idea! I never looked at pears in the grocery store the s

These wonderful chewy but soft and cake like cookies are perfect baked up for a party 🎉 I'm always looking for individual desserts to serve for a festive event and the more French like, the better. I used the toasted almond flour from King Arthurs Flour for this recipe but you may toast your own almond flour along with the sweetened shredded coconut used in the recipe. I also used Ghirardelli 60% Bittersweet Chocolate 🍫 for my dipping, which is my go to chocolate for baking. This recipe is best served on the day it's made.
