Lenny & I have been battling our first cold of the season. When we are run down we tend to turn to comfort food. I decided to make a dish we had in Boston earlier this year, Lil’s Chicken Cutlets. The recipe is really easy …. pound the heck out of a plump chicken breast, coat it in some egg and flour and then toss it in some crushed panko. Tonight I seasoned the panko with left over croutons and used grapeseed oil, which you can heat to a high heat without burning. They came out very light, not greasy and incredibly moist and juicy.
Since we were really going for comfort I decided to make more of those fantastic celery root mashed potatoes, presented with some Harissa. The end result was a very “comforting” meal to help chase away our colds. We are also submitting these tasty mashed potatoes into Chowhounds (Chow, now) Food Fight for Thanksgiving Sides – Please vote for us!!
* Local meal, everything was except the Panko Breadcrumbs and the chili peppers.
