Romesco

So one thing you’ll learn about me if you don’t already know it – I LOVE to entertain.

Love it.

I especially love when people are smitten with food I have prepared.  It’s the Italian in me – You must EAT!

I recently ran an all day workshop with the promise of a light breakfast and lunch.  The lunch was a salad and SUPER SIMPLE shredded chicken with a Romesco sauce adapted from my friends at Plated (get the original recipe here and DEFINITELY sign up to try their meals if you have not already).

To make the chicken:

Count the people you are feeding and subtract one.  Get that many chicken breasts (and I mean a split breast) and toss them in a slow cooker on low for 8 hours (ish).

When the time is up, take your hand mixer – the one you use for cookies, cakes, you know one with beaters – and put it in the crock pot on top of the chicken on LOW.  move it around.

done.

Brilliant stuff.

The Romesco is almost as easy but does require getting a few dishes dirty.  Still…
