To make Orange Glazed Chicken, you simply season defrosted frozen orange juice, pour it over the chicken and put it in the oven. Basting the chicken every 15 minutes assures that every piece will be well glazed. I like to scatter loads of extra orange slices around the chicken so […]
Fried goat cheese is one of life’s special pleasures. Coat each slice in crushed Candied Pecans (or any crushed nuts) or in crumbs (gluten-free for Passover) and quickly fry in oil. It’s crunchy, creamy and delicious. You can add the fried goat cheese medallions to salads or soups or just […]
Roasted Beet Soup with Fried Goat Cheese takes full advantage of the affinity between beets and goat cheese.
