Need to make a decision and head to the grocery store. Not very inspired today.

I'm making grilled chicken with peanut sauce and a salad. Pretty easy. You marinate pieces of chicken breast in spices; lots of them. You can also add ketchup/cane sugar/mustard/yoghurt/oils or whatever you like to the marinade. Then you make a sauce with real peanut butter, not some artificial stuff, fry some onions and garlic, add peanut butter. Then add water and spices. Worcester sauce and some soy sauces do well too in this sauce. Salt and pepper of course. Then you fry or grill the chicken and pour sauce over it. Have this with some salad and you've got a great meal. It's even paleo I think ?

P.S. if you want an actual recipe, I can do that as well, let me know.

Funny you should say that. The only thing I can come up with is what you had the other day. Chili.

That sounds great. Unfortunately cold rain would keep me off the grill today. And I'd like to grill the chicken. Smoked some bay-back ribs yesterday. And YES I would like to hear your recipe as I'm sure many others would.

Today is beef liver day for me. (sorry for bragging)

Brag away.

 

[Suzanimal]

I like your strategy.

My mom tricked me into trying liverwurst--don't do it. It's bad, horrible and terrible. Also tried limburger cheese--it's actually better than liverwurst, but that ain't saying much.

Oh, and anyone who made cracker salad would be banned from any future events involving food.

It works. I play dumb all the time. I'm also very "forgetful".

Well I marinate my chicken in a mixture of either buttermilk or yoghurt (whatever is in the fridge) and to that I add some rice oil, not much though. Spices; paprika, chili, cumin, coriander, turmeric, cardamon. Probably a teaspoon of each (for a lb of chicken). Salt and pepper. Fresh garlic also goes in.

The peanut sauce gets the same spices but also some worcester sauce and soy sauce. The sauce is made by frying some onions then garlic and adding a few big scoops of peanut butter. Then water (3-5 times the amount of peanut butter) to get it to the right 'saucy' consistency (requires stirring). Add the spices while the onion is still frying, it will add more flavor.

Grill the chicken at a high temperature, it should be almost crispy on the outside but very moist in the inside. Hot and fast.

Poor sauce on top and enjoy.

My mom and brothers love chicken livers but I can't stand liver. It's one of the few things I won't put in my mouth.

I hear ya, Lol. I'm the same with chick peas--gag-barf or Nutella.

Yeah--fried with a crispy crust and served with gravy--good eats! I like white gravy with mine.

That sounds great! I'd imagine an Asian salad for the side. I'll put that on the list for the upcoming days. The ole lady will like a change.

Yummy! If you don't already use Alton Brown's method give it a try. I swear you will not regret it. I don't even grill steak anymore.

Swap out the peanut butter for almond butter, honey instead of sugar, tomato paste instead of ketchup and that's pretty paleo/primal.

Just curious, why is almond butter more paleo than peanut butter? You can get natural unadulterated peanut butter pretty easily nowadays.

Right, I was saying... I don't use sugar and ketchup though. Just herbs and yoghurt this time.

I just finished dinner..... It was awesome and I am royally stuffed.

We just bought a new grill. I can't wait to get it fired up and start using it. Love grilled corn slathered with butter and seasoned with salt and pepper. I'm doing that this weekend and probably going to do a shish kabob.
