Seems like I get too out of routine and I have to remind myself I have a blog.
Life happens and I am just being real .
I will be at normal speed again soon.
I still jog and eat correctly. I'm just enjoying the visit from my sister from SC.
@ Arcangela's request
I am posting this BRINE I use to marinate my turkey and chicken with before I roast them.
Once you taste the difference you will never do with out it again.
Even if you only have 1 hour to soak it do it.
BRINE:
1 onion sliced
1 lemon sliced (could use a orange but bto its a not a option)
1 cup of turbinado sugar (not white)1 cup kosher salt
garlic cloves- minced
Spices :
(all about what you like and can have - be creative)
Bay leaves
pepper corn
red pepper flakes
cinnamon sticks
whole cloves
Mix and melt salt and sugar in about 4 or 5 cups of water in micro or on stove top
(Your basically making a simple syrup)
I have a great big bowl I put all the spices lemons etc in and I fill it with ice cubes .I then pour the salt and sugar mixture once melted and cooled a bit into the bowl .
The brine MUST be cold when you place meat in it.
Have a spot pegged out for where you will place it in your frig waiting.
Always cover it with a plastic wrap to keep the moisture in .
Ideal time would be 2 - 4 hours you could even go to 6 but i find the 3 - 4 works well.
When your ready to roast the meat rinse the meat off and pat dry.
Place it in your roasting pan and sprinkle some Olive Oil and a little bit of sea salt and pepper .
Roast as you would normally do for what ever meat it is until browning happens .
This is the only way I make turkey breast bone in or chicken bone in.
*Always use organic when possible in any ingredients you use
