Summer Kitchen Notes
Note: Our garden is starting to yield herbs and vegetables. It’s the first garden we’ve had in, well, I don’t know how long…at least a decade…maybe two. And I’ve been admiring and smelling our beautiful basil, wondering what we should cook with it. Here’s an easy recipe. The cook says serve it up with a platter of summer squash, sliced tomatoes and a bottle of white wine. Hope you enjoy.
Basil and Lemon Chicken
In a large bowl, mix 1/2 cup each of chopped spring onions and fresh basil leaves. Add the juice of one lemon, salt and pepper. Mix and rub onto 6 chicken pieces and place in a well-oiled baking pan. Drizzle with a little olive oil. Roast, uncovered, at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken. Garnish with more basil leaves and lemon slices. Serves 6.
