As an appetizer, we grilled some polenta slices with cheddar cheese
We then made veggie and chicken kebabs
the chicken was marinated in heavy cream, orange blossom water, sumac, chili powder and salt
Since the chicken wasn't kosher, we also threw on some hot dogs and veggie dogs
For dessert we made a cast iron skillet peach cobbler
We didn't really use a recipe; the peaches were mixed with brown sugar and lemon juice, and the topping was made with flour, vegetable shortening (to keep it non-dairy), brown sugar, salt and nutmeg
And the people who ate it
you have orange flower water!?!? can we bake with it sometime?
ReplyDeleteIt's fun to read these posts without being sure who the author is until you get to the end and see who posted it because I've discovered that I can usually guess accurately based on writing style and on what was cooked. When I got to what the chicken was marinated in--heavy cream, orange blossom water, and sumac, oh my!--I knew that it had to be Avi. Your marinades and dressings blow my mind--things that I'd never think to put together.
ReplyDeletePS. All these photos of picnics on green lawns and smiling attractive people in spring clothing are actually making me miss college, which I didn't think was possible.
What a positively gorgeous picture of me.
