Pechguas de pollo glaseado con miel picante en salsa del naranha.
(Spicy honey glazed chicken breasts in orange sauce)

I swear by the taste because I love this dish. Original spanish dish from Murica. I read and saw it cooked and tasted it. Since it is really simple dish, you can have with bread or saffron yellow rice and a pitcher of sangria. I added a bit of a masala twist to it. This dish has so many possibilities for transformation.

Ingredients:

4 pieces of chicken breasts skinned cleaned.
2-3 big spoons of local honey
1/2-3/4 spoons of favorite masala*
1 cup of orange juice
1 sliced lemon
1/4 cup of olive oil
1/2 stick of local butter
1 medium orange rind**
Salt,Pepper,herbs to taste.

Preparation:

Mix the honey, masala and salt and little olive oil. Thoroughly coat the mixture in the pieces of chicken breasts. Let it marinate for 1-2 hour.

In a pot, heat oil and butter till it is hot. Add chicken and keep stirring constantly till they are opaque and outer surface begins to look brownish. Pour the orange juice, and thin slices of rind. Constantly stir the chicken in the resultant sauce for about 5 minutes. Then cover the pot, reduce the flames to really low for next 10 minutes. In between keep flipping the chicken. Taste the sauce, if too thick and bland, add more orange juice, and pepper (black/white/red).

Place slices of lemon on top of the chicken pieces, and remove the pot from the stove. Let it cool for a few minutes. Toss fresh herbs. I substituted rosemary with parsley, and mint instead of oregano.

* I used leftovers from MDH chaat masala and trini masala.
** I got some prepackaged orange peels instead.

The trick is to dry roast the reverse side of pizza bread (the one side that we are going to add toppings) on griddle, till brown spots appear, and then apply the pizza sauce and toppings and add cheese, and again place it on griddle with the toppings side up (obviously)

@Saucy..I use mixture of Amul's Processed cheese and Mozzarella cheese.Since the former one melts and later one forms strings, so a mixture of both works good for my kid.And just a secret to share..I garnish it with the Oregano that is saved from those branded Pizzas( home delivered). That gives the pizza perfect aroma and taste ;-)

Nice color of crust and overall toppings.

Uno de Cada: Cold Soup on a Hot day




One large cucumber

One medium onion

One large tomato

One Ripe mango

One Bell pepper (red or yellow)

One pablano pepper (marinated/pickled)




4 Ripe Avacado, 1- 2 roasted habanero pepper, 1/2cup sweet sherry, 1/2 cup coconut water, 1/2 cup light cream (spicing to taste=sea salt, crushed white pepper, garlic powder, ginger powder, caraway seed, green cardamom)




In a blender (or hand mixer) mix chunks of ripe avacado, habanero pepper, sherry, coconut water and and pinch of spices. Sieve the mixture into a pot with light cream. Simmer for few minutes and remove from microwave. Chill in refrigerator for 2-4 hours.




Chop skinned cucumber, tomato, mango, seeded bell pepper and onion into small diced cubes. Sprinkle salt and fresh lemon mix thoroughly. Sometimes for variation I have added a small sweet green apple. Instead of onion, one can diced bulbs of green onion or scallion




In a soup bowl pour in the avacado soup, spoon in the mixture into the soup, and put sliced marinated pablano pepper on top. I have also substituted 1/2 cup of yoghurt instead of light cream.




Bueno Provecho.
