That Peruvian roasted chicken with spiced cilantro sauce is incredible. NYT recipe that I think you linked to in the other thread? I ordered the special chili pastes. I used chicken thighs. I did convection roast, and thought maybe I overdid it, but the crispy black stuff tastes fantastic. Haven’t even put the sauce on it yet. Totally doing this again!

It's the best thing I've made since Moroccan chicken. Glad you like it! The sauce makes it even better. You can sub not hot peppers like Anaheims if you don't want as much heat.

I'm going to use the paste marinate on some cubed up chicken for tacos. Fantastic flavor.

Those websites look good, thanks. We like spicy. The sauce is wonderful. I have a lot leftover, so I’m going to use it on some burritos this week.

I'm awaiting a burrito as we speak. I FINALLY after 40+ years found a place here that makes a respectable burrito. Happy, happy, joy, joy.

I found one too.

I ate it with tears running down my face.

You wouldn’t think it would be that hard but it is. A great SoCal burrito has a wholeness to it, a texture, flavor and mouthfeel. Accept no substitute.

We have friends coming for dinner. I was agonizing over whether to make Peruvian Chicken, but I also had some wonderful fresh Faroe Islands salmon. What to fix.

It came to me this morning that the recipe should be quite excellent with salmon. So I looked it up and sure enough there's Peruvian spicy salmon with green sauce recipes! Problem solved. I'll use the NYT recipe, just sub salmon for chicken.

Mik · 27 Oct 2024, 16:45

Marinating now. I made a bunch, so the leftovers can go into Peruvian salmon tacos.

Yummy!

@Mik What time is lunch tomorrow?

Mik · wrote on 27 Oct 2024, 16:50

Make the recipe. You can reduce the heat if you want. i only put one jalapeno in the sauce this morning. I made two batches of marinade, one mild, one hot.

Jodi · wrote on 27 Oct 2024, 19:18

I didn’t add quite as many jalepenos when I made it either. So delicious.

I grilled hamachi last night. Really great. Made my first attempt at ceviche today with the rest of it, but accidentally grabbed the Worcestershire sauce instead of the soy. Still tuned out pretty good for a football game snack.

Only at the house of @Mik does one get ceviche for football munchies...

The "grabbed the wrong bottle" thing can be interesting. My Mom woke up in the middle of the night with a grouchy stomach and grabbed for what she thought was the bottle of Mylanta. It was her hand lotion.

Not dangerous, but definitely blech.

I’ve brushed my teeth with anti-fungal cream before. And put ear drops in my eyes…

My moisturizer comes in a tube looks amazingly like my preferred brand of toothpaste, if you're sleepy when you grab it.

Ok, the Peruvian salmon was a huge hit. I recommend.

I did forget that last time I didn’t think the green sauce needed the feta. This time proved it again. I’ll skip it in the future.

Omg, Mik.
