Hors d’oeuvres….
one of my absolute favorite things in life…
I love creating small bites with big flavor, combining at least 3 or four tastes in one little morsel to heighten the flavor.
I often serve meals to our family that comprise of 4-5 different appetizers, or will set out a huge tray of homemade crackers, or sourdough bread, cured salami, lox, raw cheeses, lacto-fermented vegetables, fresh fruit, and dates. This makes dinner time easy, since I almost always have these things on hand. There is nothing more cozy than cuddling up to your family with a big tray of finger foods, and a glass of wine or steaming hot tea.
I was inspired to make these a few nights ago, when I was trying to pull dinner together with not much in the fridge. What I did have was pastured bacon, chicken thighs and fresh garden pesto from the freezer and a few sprigs of fresh sage.
I wrapped the sage and chicken in the bacon (because what isn’t better wrapped in bacon?!?) Next I grilled them and served them dipped in fresh garden pesto atop a bed of dressed local spinach.
Perfect.
See, it pays to slack on grocery shopping once in a while…
- 2 pasture raised boneless chicken thighs cut in quarters
- 8 fresh sage leaves
- 4 slices of pasture raised, chemical-free bacon cut in half
- 1 cup of pesto, preferably homemade
- Place a sage leaf on a chicken strip and wrap with bacon.
- Repeat with all of the chicken pieces.
- Grill until the chicken is cooked through.
- Serve with a green salad and pesto on the side.
eat. love. nourish.
