Post #9 - Chicken Dinner
Dinner:
Whole chicken covered liberally with olive oil, lemon juice, basil, oregano, garlic powder, seasoned salt and paprika, roasted at 350 degrees in my Descoware Dutch oven, first 20 minutes upside-down, remaining hour and 10 minutes breast-side up.
Served with white rice, sauteed fresh fava beans with caramelized onions, and sauteed verdolagas with garlic, red chili flakes, and a touch of cider vinegar.
I will never roast a chicken in any other pot. I think the fact that the chicken almost completely fills the pot, with not much wasted air-space, has something to do with the incredible juiciness and flavorfulness (is that a word?) of the resulting meat (even the breast!).
Maybe pictures next time. I was too amazed at the flavors to think about a camera.

Reading: Cooking for Kings, the Life of the First Celebrity Chef, Antonin Careme
Watching: Nothing. TV still sucks.
Eating: Stir-fried pork with roasted radishes over rice.
After trying Kalyn's Roasted Radishes, I had a sneaking feeling that they'd go well with pork. I marinated some cut-up lean pork in chili-garlic sauce, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar and oyster sauce. Stir-fried that up. Roasted the cut-up radishes for 20 minutes in a thin coating of canola oil until they were starting to brown, tossed in a little soy sauce, mixed with the cooked pork, and served over white rice.
Conclusion: Roasted radishes go well with pork.
Conclusion #2: Not a very photogenic dish. But next time I might try throwing in the radish greens at the end, which could improve it's photographability.
