It was another cool Aug. day here. I wanted to do my fajitas
outside but it was rainy by late afternoon; so this was done in cast iron but
inside stovetop.
I am supposed to get my wide skewers tomorrow so went to my
butchers for some ground chuck. I want to try Ahron, Africanmeat’s recipe for
some Eastern kabobs for supper. I also got a 2 ¼ lb. pork loin and some bacon.
I want to use it on my Weber rotisserie.
After lunch I got the ground chuck mixed up and in the
fridge overnight for the kabobs. I had a large chicken breast half and 3 thighs
left for the fajitas. After I got the breast cut up that was plenty just for
the wife and I so the thighs went in the freezer.
I got the breast meat seasoned with some chili powder, cumin
and garlic flakes. It looked a little dry so added about a tablespoon of
ketchup to moisten some. It went in the fridge for about 3 hours before
cooking. For an appetizer I was fixing a favorite; baked Borsin cheese and
marinara sauce with toasted pita bread for dipping. I was using the pita bread
for the fajitas too.
My wife came home from an auction about 3:30; she only spent
$20 so I got off cheap! She said she was hungry so told her I would do the
appetizer at 5:00 and then fix the fajitas. I got the appetizer in the oven at
350 deg. for 15 minutes and then turned the oven off and turned the broiler on.
I toasted two pita breads and cut in wedges. I pulled the appetizer out when
the cheese was getting brown; about 4 minutes. I snipped some fresh chives for
on top.
We sat down and had our fill of that; it was good! After a
short rest I started the fajitas. I cooked the chicken, med. high, in some
olive oil until browned and then removed. I added in some sliced red peppers
and onion and went to med. heat. When the onions were clear I added two small
tomatoes cut in thin wedges. The juice from them deglazed the skillet some. The
tomatoes were from my garden, not quite ripe but the taste was good.
