Pre-kid we used to frequent a joint in NYC called Island Burger which has dozens of burgers and chicken sandwiches to choose from. Post-kid we make our favorites at home. My favorite is the chicken and Boursin sandwich with caramelized onions and crisp lettuce. Who knows if it’s still on the menu there as I haven’t been in years.
Grilled Chicken and Boursin Sandwich
First slice up your onions and add them to olive oil in a hot pan on medium heat and caramelize. I find that adding a bit of honey once they begin to turn color helps them along.
To build your sandwich, start with a toasted bun slathered with Boursin cheese, crispy bacon, a grilled chicken breast, caramelized onions and lettuce. Sometimes the night calls for Boursin cheese slathered on both sides of the bun which was the case here.
It’s pretty darn tasty and a very good excuse to buy the sweet Vidalia onions that are in stores now.
It’s been a good long time since we’ve been cooking at Storkbite’s house. Sad but true. Second pregnancy and travel really got in the way of our family workings. We were able to explore all the delights of West Cork, Ireland which is really a great place for food if you are into black and white puddings, smoked salmon, and fresh seafood like we are. More on the things we found there in the coming weeks. Also, our CSA and Farmer’s Market starts this week. We will soon have inspiration arriving every Thursday and Saturday so please stand by…
Grilling at Home: Pork Chops
Grilling in your home kitchen can be done but it makes for a smoky mess. Such is life for apartment dwellers like us. We were finally reminded of the pleasure of great simple food after attending an Italian produced barbecue. I had some fantastic grilled zucchini there and decided that I needed more. Together with some butter rubbed bone-in pork chops we had quite a great feast and it was almost like being outside, well except for the smoke detector of course.
For the chops, rub with some butter, salt and pepper then grill. For the zucchini, slice thick lengthwise brush with olive oil, salt and pepper then grill. 10 minutes later, consume.
