Stove To Table: Chicken & Veggies

.
.
Rustic food does not have to be presented in a pretentious way to be appetizing and mouthwatering. (I know, most times we professionals are tempted to do so). But not today’s lunch. My friend’s Leo and Griselda knocked on the door unexpectedly, just as I was about to take some more “refined” pictures of my lunch.
So, here is how it went:
Prep it, cook it, take the pot and put it on the table. Everybody fishes for their favorite chunk’s of ingredient’s as they please.
(I did however fish for Bella and served her separately in her own dish 🙂

” Braised chicken with sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, onion, garlic, scallion, chilis, bell peppers, tomatoes, red wine, chicken stock, kosher salt, freshly grated black pepper “.

Bon Appetit! Today, Rustic Rules !

“Brotzeit”

.
.
Tonight’s dinner is simple but delicious.
Daikon (white radish) sprinkled with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, heirloom tomato sprinkled with sea salt, german weisslacker cheese, sourdough bread.
I was looking forward to have this “brotzeit” or “vesper” for a few day’s now; today, it fit perfectly into my schedule. Hardly any time to prepare but oh so good. Maybe you have to have been raised on food like this in order to appreciate a simple radish as a snack or dinner. But I grew up with goodies like this and I regret not having a “Brotzeit” like this more often.

Mahlzeit ! Life is good !
