Monday 25 August
Today was the first day of class
(sob). So we needed something homey to
console us for the end of summer and the beginning of fall, especially as the
weather has turned, if anything, more summery and sweltering than before.
We had marinated Saturday's chicken
legs, thighs, and wings in lemon, oil, garlic, rosemary and thyme, so it was
easy to brown and then braise them in white wine.
In the meantime, we took the
washed greens from Friday's baby beets (bulked out with some garden chard) and
made this Chez Panisse recipe, without raisins, but with toasted pistachios.
It provided a hearty, slightly bitter note against the
unctuous chicken.
