All-80's soundtrack on noise-cancelling earbuds:
Prep - Re-Flex, Berlin
Grilling - Thompson Twins, Human League
Sitting in the sun, letting the waves of 40-year-old memories wash over me, an idyllic Saturday!
Chicken breast was cubed, then marinated in a mix of dijon mustard, lemon juice and zest, pomegranate molasses, olive oil... Then skewered and spiced with lemon pepper.
Ancient peppers are very sweet, stuffed with a stick of smoked string cheese and grilled.
Mini sweet peppers and mushrooms were skewered...
Veg was grilled first, cooked so quickly, and smelled incredibly fragrant!
Chicken kebap went onto the grill, and I kept rotating them so they would cook evenly, but took longer to get to 165F doneness than I thought. Gave me time for a few more 80's songs...
Pilav was a surprise - just sauteed onions and garlic, add the rice, fideo pasta, and rice... Dump in a can of cannellini beans, extra water, sunflower seeds, and sliced almonds, bring to a simmer and transfer to the 350F oven to finish.
When transferring to a serving bowl, I noticed entire pan bottom was covered in tahdig (crisped rice, a delicacy in Persian cuisine), so incredibly delicious!
