Wednesday Night: Chicken Leftovers+

To accompany the last of the Kiev-style chicken, I made sauteed carrots (cut carrots [CSA] into 1" pieces, saute at high heat in butter until starting to brown, add water and lime juice, cover and simmer until carrots are soft and liquid is absorbed, add sugar to balance acidity) and rice with tomatoes (top basmati rice with strips of oven-dried tomatoes and black truffle oil). We also had a nice green salad (partially CSA).

For dessert we did strawberry (CSA) shortcake. I made shortcake using a new recipe that includes cornmeal to add texture. Since we were out of normal cornmeal, I substituted polenta (which is coarsely ground corn). The flavor of the shortcake was good, but they had a bit too much texture. :-)
