Trying to impress a foodie tomorrow...

[bif]

Thinking of doing Andalusian Chicken. What else should I do? Garlic pasta? Veggie?

[NJCher]

1. can you tell us a little more about the foodie?

That might help.

I can also ask the RG.

2. I actually don't know him that well

So I can't tell you much about him. Just trying to figure out what would go with the chicken.

3. How are you preparing the chicken?

4. Pretty simple recipe

It's with blood orange juice, onions, green olives, sherry and tomatoes. I've made it before and it turned out great. Decided to serve it with pilafi, salad, and Brussell sprouts sautéd with bacon.

5. Pilaf sounds like the perfect dish to serve this with.

And Brussels sprouts, too.

Great job. Hope it all goes splendidly.

6. Wow - that sounds really good ! The Brussell sprouts will

be a good counter to the sweetness of the chicken sauce. If you decide
against the pilaf - I made some potatoes the other day that came out
really great.

Boil potatoes until tender but not overcooked (not the very small potatoes but ones
that are about say two-three inches in diameter)

Meanwhile, roast a head of garlic in the oven

Drain potatoes and press them down with your palm until they are like disks. If
you haven't overcooked them - they will be cracked but relatively in one
piece.

In frying pan with olive oil, cook the disks very slowly on low-medium heat until
golden.

Mix in roasted garlic.

Serve with small dollop of sour cream and chives

Delish !
