Poulet Célestine


Monday August 11

We're slowing eating down Jane's freezer stock, in this case a bunch of chicken thighs. Tonight's contribution was a Poulet Célestine, in hono(u)r of the lovely white mushrooms and solid roma tomatoes we bought on Saturday. We did the additional step (which we often don't have time to do when coming home latish from the office) of marinating them with thyme and lemon juice (we hit a store and stocked up on all sort of spices and herbs). We added a lot of the nice tomatoes, too many really, since the 'maters are only there for a note of acid in a very rich wine sauce, but they were impossible to resist. The result was rather pizzaiolo, but very tasty for all that, and went very well with a Hillebrand 2007 Gewurtztraminer.
