Recipes

Cast Iron Chicken

Ingredients

  • Bone-in Chicken (thighs, quarters, etc.)
  • Spices
  • Well-seasoned cast iron

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375° F.
  2. Season both sides of the chicken with your choice of spices. Salt and pepper is as simple as it gets and it's absolutely delicious.
  3. Preheat cast iron to medium/medium high.
  4. Place chicken skin side down into cast iron and sear until skin is crispy.
  5. Flip the chicken and sear for a few minutes.
  6. Place the chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes depending on how crowded your pan is. You really can't go wrong, the chicken will stay juicy.
  7. When the chicken comes out of the overn, pull them out of the cast iron pan and let them rest for at least 5 minutes. The inside of the chicken will still be hot after resting so watch your fingers!

Cauliflower Faux-tatoes

Ingredients

  • 1 head of Cauliflower
  • 2-3 Tbsp Ghee
  • Salt & pepper

Directions

  1. Cut the cauliflower into chunks.
  2. Steam the cauliflower until fork tender.
  3. Place into blender and add a couple tablespoons of ghee and salt & pepper to taste.
  4. Blend until it is as smooth or as lumpy as you like.

The above outlines a great "base" that stands on its own and tastes delicious. But this is where you can get creative. Into the blender, throw in some herbs, roasted garlic, (I wonder how sun-dried tomatoes would taste?).
