Why do I call this chicken basics????
Chicken, onions, celery, & carrots simply marry harmoniously!!!! In addition to this they are must have basics for your fridge...to this delight I added paprika, bay leaf, marjoram, orange zest, lemon, oregano, and rosemary than braised it slowly in champagne. Boil up some penne and toss with parmigiano reggiano and you got yourself a weeknight comfort food dinner!!!
This is a new twist for me as most of my post are traditional foods that I grew up with. This pork leg however is a traditional dish found in Cuban homes.... why is it going to be a tradition in my home you ask??? Well I adopted a delicious Cuban little baby last year and will always do my best to introduce his culture in our home making it our tradition too!!! I am not going to lie I have searched a ton of recipes and this was not my first attempt but it was certainly my first success because what is important about making the pierna asada is getting the delicious crispy and golden!!! I found this recipe online by an old little lady showing her work on you tube.. pekiskitchen. All she used was salt!!!!
