So here is my entry for the Recipe for Romance Contest! If it's not there when you hurry off to vote for me, it means it'll have gone the same way as dB's entry.
The ideal setting is on the balcony of a small villa deep in the Sierra Nevada, watching the sun go down.
Appetizer – Toast fingers delicately flavoured with marmita.
Beverage – Cava, preferably Catalan, they are fiercely jealous, you might have to steal it off one.
Main course – Chicken breasts marinated in white wine.
Beverage – Galician white wine, preferably Ribeira Sacra, force may be necessary here too.
Dessert – Honeydew melon
Beverage – Orujo de hierbas, no force required.
Recipe for chicken breasts:
Ingredients
1 chicken
3 glasses of white wine
salt
pepper
herbs
Directions
Drink one of the glasses of wine. Wring the chicken’s neck. Some prefer cutting the head off, but this can be messy. Dip the chicken in boiling water, then pluck. Cut off the head and feet (don’t throw these away, they can be barbecued later). Gut the chicken (again, save the entrails for stock). Drink the second glass of wine. Cut off the wings and legs, split the chicken along the breastbone and fillet. Skin the fillets. Rub the breasts gently with salt, pepper and herbs and put in oven dish. Add third glass of wine. Bake in oven for 20-30 minutes depending on taste.
I cooked this once. The order of the dishes, and the timing, is very important – first fingers, then breasts, and only then to the honeydew. This always gives the best results.
¡Que aproveche!
