We took our first gentle steps into China this week. Crunchy salt and pepper shrimp from Jiangsu was devoured along with a napa cabbage stir fry. A good intro to the first of China's 8 culinary zones.
Drop your phonograph needle on track 3 of Van Halen's 1984 album for this one (although I personally prefer the song that precedes it). Chicken marinated in red wine, garlic, and Worcestershire sauce, browned in annatto oil, then braised in tomato sauce, red bell pepper, and olives. Finished with capers and topped with a masa harina crust. I didn't get the masa in an even layer, otherwise perfection. And Tamal de Olla is gluten free! 10/20/20
Hand pies filled with chicken, apple, onion, and currant. Dry but somewhat addictive. This is the first time I tried vegan pastry and it didn't work great. 1/3/21
