I odor CHICKEN!
Effectively, extra on that later.
Mama actually ought to have helped me put within the anecdote about Bernini’s elephant however she forgets issues usually typically.
Fairly comic story, eh? We love telling that story to guests who’re seeing the little elephant for the primary time and we all the time get a giggle.
Talking of which, let’s get extra giggles in life, lets? One way or the other whe a giggle replaces a frown, the day expands and allows new adventures and ideas and in mama’s case, usually allows new concepts for recipes, haha.

Final evening at a late hour mama began dinner with three hen thighs and did this:
Spur of the Second Rooster Thighs
Serves 2
3 thighs, sprinkled with flour, candy paprika, salt and pepper
Olive oil to coat the underside of a pan that matches the thighs.
1 small candy onion, sliced
1 scant cup white wine
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup heavy cream or Greek yogurt
Juice of half a lemon and slightly grated peel
In a skillet that holds the thighs snugly, warmth the olive oil on medium warmth, put within the thighs skin-side down and whereas they sizzle, slice the onions.
When the thighs are golden brown and crusty on one aspect, add the onions and switch over the thighs to brown for a couple of minutes. Decrease the warmth, add the wine, cowl the pan and let every part simmer for 10-Quarter-hour.
Take away the lid, add the butter and swirl it round within the wine sauce, then add the cream and swirl that round to mix.
Serve with leftover rice (we nearly all the time have some for this type of fast meal) or a baked potato. Mama had recent spring peas and simmered them in salted water for less than about 3-4 minutes, then drained them and stirred in slightly olive oil, a small spoon of butter and squeeze of lemon. Heaven!
So, dinner began at 8 and on the desk at 8:20 or so. A pleasant little frozen slice of mama’s focaccia went within the toaster and was prepared when it popped up.
Cooking doesn’t need to be an ordeal, says mama, and, by the best way, you possibly can flatten the hen thighs between two sheets of butcher paper or plastic wrap and they’re going to prepare dinner even quicker and have extra floor space in relation to the quantity of the meat and be crispier!
Now what this has to do with elephants is past me…!
Mama simply get waylaid when cooking comes up, haha.
So…uh… I hope you’ll do this on for thighs.
Earlier than the onions and wine….and serving 4, not 2.
