Chicken with plum habenero gravy

[Shaun @ Tru6]

I used chicken leg/thigh quarters. Browned on both sides in a pan with a little oil.

Heavy splash with some cheap, sweet riesling, scrape and reduce.

add:
3 ripe plums, rough chop
1 large yellow pepper, rough chop
1 habanero. I just cut down the sides

saute on high heat, then lower, add 1 cup chicken stock, some honey, some brown sugar.

simmer for 30 minutes, add a little butter.

pull chicken out, empty sauce (everything is cooked way down and very soft...could run through a processor) into a bowl, add to 1 cup yogurt stirring as you add.

You could also thicken with heavy cream or add a roux if you wanted as well. the yogurt gave it a nice tang which went well with the sweet & hot.

no pics and to be honest, it's not the prettiest food you'll serve even if you dressed it up with fresh plan fans, etc. I suppose you could use boneless chicken breasts and dress it up a little if cooking for a date.

Sounds good. We need a recipe "sticky".

Sounds great. I agree on a recipe sticky.

I have a recipe question. From the Easter ham, I made a ham stock last night. It tastes great, like liquid ham. Now, what does one make with ham stock? Besides split pea soup?

[Wyvern]

Your "Ham StocK" would be great in as the liquid in Risotto ...
Ham and mushroom Risotto.
or
Maybe add some crisp bacon put in in a small dish cover it with cheese and do a quick bake / broil.

Pumpkin Bacon soup

Yes ... you could do good 'ol split pee soup . but I think there are better thing to play with.

ham and beans with cornbread (although, you should really use hocks)

[Shaun @ Tru6]

it add a little extra smoky character to jambalaya instead of using chicken stock.

You know Shaun, if you ever get that E-Harmony profile straightened out & cooking the way you do, you'd get yourself a sweet honey .
You defiantly have to make it down this summer my bison burgers on the grill.

[Shaun @ Tru6]

I am there!

and I've taken a peek in my wine fridge and found I've got a decent bottle or two, and need to share. How would your bison burgers go with a '99 Spring Mountain reserve cabernet?

That chicken dish sounds great - I know where we can find some free poultry.

I think they are best with Ripple but I'll suffer through a really nice wine

[911Rips]

Hey,I'm on my second marraige, do you honestly think I am afraid of a one eyed Rooster named Elvis?

[Buckterrier]

Good point, (just stay on his right side)
