So, no I did not have any sort of McDonald's-esque finger in my food incident. However, my brief hiatus is due to the fact that I peeled a sizable chunk of my finger off on Tuesday while peeling apples to make Apple Crisp. Man did I regret buying the family a brand new peeler!
Anyway...what I did manage to make on Tuesday was a wonderful marinade for chicken thighs and a small piece of sirloin that we grilled up for lunch the next day. The chicken actually really benefited from marinating overnight, however just a few hours will also suffice.
Garlic Lime Marinade
5 garlic cloves, minced
Juice of 4-5 limes (about 1/2-3/4 cups)
1/4 c honey
2 t ground cumin
1 T chili powder
A heavy pinch of salt
Give the marinade a taste to make sure that the flavors are balanced...you may need to add a touch more honey. Pour over meat and refrigerate for 2 hours to overnight.
The meat will taste best if grilled, however a pan-fry will also work well. I was planning to serve this with beans and rice (black and brown...a healthy version), and a Latin inspired salad. Due to the trip to the ER I never really got there, but hopefully I'll get a recipe up for that soon! More to come...stay tuned.
