Tonight was one of those tight-turnaround nights that our family is famous for during the week! I knew that chik’n posole – one of our favorite quick-fixes – would fit the bill perfectly! It’s light on the tongue but filling to the tummy, and paired with a garlic breadstick, it makes for a hearty dinner.
What’s more, tonight’s posole had a special guest – cilantro
straight from the garden! Good old
cilantro, a favorite herb around here, has a pretty limited time to shine; it
starts to bolt by Independence Day and by midsummer we’re forced to replace it
with another herb (or two). But while it’s
in bloom, look out – it’s a taste that can’t be beat!
I feel so sorry for those folks who can’t taste the goodness
in cilantro but instead are left with nothing but a soapy aftertaste. My condolences to your poor taste buds! It’ll be a struggle, but LeeLee and I will
enjoy your portion on your behalf. ;)
So, with only about a half-hour to turn dinner around and
get it onto the table, chik’n posole gets the job done every time. The sad news is that there aren’t any
leftovers – we cleaned the pot! – but that’s a price we’ll have to pay.
