Hey all. A beautiful day here in northern NJ. Nearly 60F and sunny. Warm sun, cool breeze -- we'll take it. It's been a looooong winter.
Charred up the red peppers for the mango/red pepper/habanero salsa.
I had picked up four local, free-range Cornish hens here and marinated two of them in a Thai gai yang marinade (to be eaten later in the week) and the other two in a Jamaican jerk marinade for tonight. (yes, four -- that's what happens when you food shop on an empty stomach).
Organic sweet potatoes were steamed until just tender, then briefly grilled for flavor. A bunch of scallions went on the grill right after for the warm sweet potato salad. Good stuff.
A little red kale sautéed with onion, garlic, and cajun seasoning.
Chicken looks about ready, 170F in the thighs.
And we're good to go. Both the jerk marinade (with two minced habaneros) and the mango salsa (1/4 minced hab, plus one jalapeno) were plenty picante. Gringo en el fuego! Tasted like a sunny day.
Thanks for stopping by.
