A simple quick, chicken dinner tonight...

http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1553740016.jpg

It’s a variation on a dish from the area around Vaucluse in Provence, France called poulet sauté a la Barthelasse. You basically sauté the chicken in olive oil until cooked, then deglaze the pan with white wine and add some persillade. The way I made it last night was to add the persillade first, cook it about 30 seconds and then add some cognac instead of white wine and reduce it down almost, but not quite, completely. Simple to make and very tasty.

You kidding? Out of a jar? Blasphemy!

Persillade has two ingredients, fresh parsley and garlic. Chop them fine, together, as they do in France.

One thing I've learned is that ingredients matter. Nothing I make comes from a jar. No sauce, no salad dressing, no nothing. If ordinary people make something in their home country, so do I. You should, too.

More blasphemy! Thou shalt use fresh spices and herbs, when possible. Or, always....

The (one of many) perfect burger. Semi-perfect anyway, I thought I had some bread & butter pickles but they were gone. A little acid would have added that extra little touch.

That does look good. You might try one with grilled onions on one meat patty and fresh red onions on the other. There’s a place here in town that does that and their burgers are to die for.

If that's American cheese I'm all about it.

It looks good regardless.

I think some fresh onions would work well with this burger but may switch to mustard and mayo in place of the Russian dressing.

Jeremy, yes, went out and got some Kraft singles just for this burger. I am tempted to do one more slice next time. And pickles.

I had a period where I tried to recreate a Big Boy/ Big Mac for fun. IIRC it was white onions and dill pickles. Yellow onions didn't bite hard enough.

Try it with mustard and pickles, no mayo.
