One of those meals

 

This is one of those meals that I revert to. One of those meals that I never become tired of eating. One of those meals that most everyone likes.

It starts with chicken. A perfectly roast chicken.

Ingredients:

whole chicken

salt

1 stick butter (room temperature)

thyme

rosemary

sage

Recipe:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Rinse chicken, and pat dry. Stir together butter, thyme, rosemary, and sage. Spread all over the chicken, under the skin and on the top. Then season generously with salt to create a crust. Roast for 1 and 1/2 hours.

Then you add a little something to drizzle over it. Kirstin gave me this idea.

Pomegranate reduction:

Ingredients:

1c pomegranate juice

2tbs cane sugar

Recipe:

Bring pomegranate juice and sugar to a boil. Reduce to simmer and stir occasionally until sauce has reduced and thickened (about 20-30 minutes).

Normally, we make this recipe with roasted potatoes or mashed. Today, we wanted to add some cheese and make a gratin. We followed this recipe.

Lastly, we love brussels sprouts. We eat them a few times a week.

Brussels Sprouts:

Ingredients:

1lb of brussels

s&p

olive oil

peppers or any veggie you like or omit

Recipe:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Arrange cleaned brussels sprouts and peppers on a baking sheet. Coat with olive oil, salt and pepper. (sometimes I throw, thyme or rosemary on top as well, maybe some garlic). Roast for 30-40 minutes.
