I christened my Julienne peeler this evening. Simply, I am in love. I must now find every peelable vegetable that might potentially be Julienned into vegeghetti. My first experiment, courtesy of H.K.'s sexy 50mm f/1.4 Nikon from the 80s, sports Ragapesto chicken on a bed of zucchini with oat bread (aren't I posh). Next; carrots, broccoli stems, yellow squash, potato, turnip, parsnip... what am I missing?
Methods
1. defrost chicken (what? I need to be reminded to do this)
2. Ragapesto: mix 1 tsp coriander, 1 tsp cumin, 1tsp garlic, 2 tsp basil and 1tbsp lime juice in mini dish
3. wash and julienne [veges of choice]
4. toss chicken in pan with 2 tsp olive oil (substitute broth for oil if flaring)
5. toss julienned [veges of choice] in another pan with 2 tsp olive oil (or broth) and add salt and pepper
6. when cooked, spread Ragapesto generously over chicken and place over sautéed [vege of choice] on an aesthetically awesometastic plate
7. serve with toast and... honestly, almost any wine -- a Zinfandel or Sauvignon Blanc, if I must be choosy.
