I loved the spinach Gorgonzola filling adapted from “The Great Meat Cookbook” by Bruce Aidells, so much couple that I decided to make a very small batch for last night’s using chicken instead. It was fantastic.
Placed it under the skin, seared on the pan, and then roasted in the oven, turned out a very tasty and tender chicken. Bell pepper and green salad as a side dish.
For dessert, the adults had strawberries with sugar and red wine. The last time I enjoy it I was still living in Paris. I remember enjoying it with my nonna often. Refreshing and tasty.
On a different note.
A couple of nights ago when I posted the flank steak with the spinach and gorgonzola I forgot to mention Mr. Aidells as the writer of the book.
Forgetfulness on my part as I wake up too early in the morning to write. I was contacted by Mr. Aidells. Not only he was very kind and forgiving of my omission of his name, but he also gave me a couple of pointers on how to better butterfly the meat. I am still on cloud nine considering that my little blog was read by an author and contributing editor of such a caliber.
Now back to life, wishing everyone a great day.
