Vacation: Dinner day 1

Published by iChef under All, Recipes, iChef

I’m in NY for holiday staying at my favorite Bed and Breakfast in North Salem New York!

It’s freezing here! (and I’m not talking figuratively…)

Penne pasta with broccoli rabe sauteed with garlic and Italian sausage stuffed with broccoli rabe from Arthur Avenue and grated Parmesan—I’m just saying that was dinner…

Washed down with Hop Goes the Weasel Ale! Outstanding! This is going to be a good vacation!

*******

Lunch was Guinness and NY Pizza!

I love this town!

more hot saki, and spider roll and dynamite server Mike—uber successful! When not if you go to Ace Wasabi ask for Mike to be your waiter—He is through the roof a fantastic server! Marissa was the hostess and apparently managing the place this Sunday evening that did get quite busy and she’s awesome!

Sorry, no donuts tonight…

Chicken with Artichokes, Sun Dried Tomatoes, and Lemon

Marinate for a day: the chicken with garlic, onion, thyme, olive oil, balsamic, FC—S&P, and dash of oregano.

Roast in a HOT oven: with squeezed lemon wedges, artichoke hearts, chopped sundried tomatoes, white wine. That’s it!

Broil for last 5 minutes for some outstanding color! Can you smell it? Fantastic!

From pan to plate, served with sweet potatoes, to balance some of the tartness of the lemon and balsamic…

Now, you—GO! DO!
