Chicken and Figs






Wine:

Burt Simon Weingut Herrenberg 1998 Serrig Wurtzberg Riesling Kabinett
Beringer Private Reserve 2006 Napa Chardonnay

Figs are in season and we decided to make Chicken with Figs. This is a delicious dish. It is started on the stove top then finished in the oven. We invited Bea over and she brought a great Chardonnay. You can get the recipe from our blog of June 23,2008. Just click the date to get the recipe.

We started with Nancy’s Chopped Salad. This is a real favorite of mine. I always get it a Mozza. Nancy has taken a 1960’s classic and made it her own. We served cous-cous with the chicken. The recipe for the Nancy's Chopped Salad is on blog of May 10, 2009. Click the date to get the recipe.

We have had many different Couscous over the years but we found a brand that is exceptional: M’hamsa Couscous from Tunisia. We really recommend it. Look for it at a gourmet shop near you.

For dessert we finished off the Coconut Cake we had purchased at Lark Cake Shop.

The next night we had the leftover Chicken and Fig but made a Salad with Nectarines, Almonds, Prosciutto, Balsamic Vinegar and Olive Oil.

You two are back--I keep thinking you are just roaming the earth with tales of wonderful delights.

How's Lark Cake shop? I was thinking of taking Emma Ann in for a gander and a slice?
