Keepin' It Simple--Chicken, Mushrooms, Ramps and a Sweet Potato

This week has been dedicated to chocolate molding . . . but more on that later. Given the time I'm spending molding chocolate, I'm keepin' it simple in the rest of the food department. But simple can be delicious . . . and healthy, too. I cut up a chicken, freezing the back and wings for stock, then coated the legs/thighs and breasts in olive oil, rosemary, sage, thyme, salt and pepper and roasted them. I threw a foil-wrapped sweet potato in the oven alongside the chicken, cooked some brown rice . . . and sautéed a medley of mushrooms and ramps in a mixture of olive oil and butter. Delicious, pretty healthy (I couldn't resist a slab of butter on the potato . . . but butter's healthy, right?) and almost entirely locally produced . . . with a few meals worth of leftovers. I'll be back tomorrow with some chocolate.






I have never cooked with ramps...I need to grab some soon. This looks awesome.
