| These
days people confuse good food with love. When you're with someone new the best
seduction strategy is to make something really delicious like this. Chances are,
they've been eating insipid food and a dish this tasty will make them all emotional
and stuff. They won't know exactly where all these emotions are coming from or
why, but the food will be an unlikely suspect. After all, good food is be bad
for you. God forbid it is the food that's getting them all riled up. Instead,
their minds will do a little transference: if it isn't the food making them feel
this way, it must be you! Seduction complete. 2
chicken breasts (normal, as in bones & skin) ¼ cup of fresh cilantro,
chopped ¼ cup of fresh dill, chopped ¼ cup of fresh basil,
chopped 1 small onion, chopped 1 clove of finely chopped garlic 2
plum tomatoes, coarsely chopped juice of 1 lemon with a ½ teaspoon
of lemon zest ¼ teaspoon of paprika 1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 tablespoon of butter salt and pepper In
a nice pot, heat up your oil and butter on medium and put in the chicken fat side
down. Sauté for about 3 minutes until golden. Flip and cook for another minute. Push
the chicken to the side and add the garlic and onions and cook for a few minutes
until either the onions or garlic are just starting to brown in 2 minutes or so.
Lower the heat to low and cook for about 10 minutes. Next,
add the tomatoes, the chicken, paprika, salt pepper, and half of the lemon juice,
half of the cilantro, half of the dill, and half of the basil. Cover
again and continue cooking on low for 30 minutes. Right
before serving, add the other half of the lemon juice, cilantro, dill and basil,
which will be very fresh and bright. Serves
2 with basmati rice. |
