Baked chicken drumsticks have a crispy outside and soft, juicy inside. This is an easy baked chicken drumstick recipe that is bursting out of flavors. This dish takes very less time if all the ingredients are handy.

Rosemary

oregano

I have got rosemary plant which I wanted to use in any of my dishes and so it ended up in this which is very well blended with the other ingredients. Usually, we will have baked dishes for dinner and when it comes to these chicken pieces I will marinate some to fry for my kids and baked for us.
I have added almost all the herbs I found in the kitchen and also the fresh rosemary and a small sprig of fresh oregano which was growing in my garden. The aroma of the herbs, rosemary, garlic that comes out of the oven when it gets baked is heavenly.

Crispy braised Iberico pork collar Recipe

Image
It is not cheap, but if you come across it don't hesitate and buy an   Iberico  pork  collar  (aka boneless neck, Cabecero). Mine was 1800 g. It is a well marbled, exquisitely flavorful cut that can be roasted, braised, or sliced into steaks for quick searing. ... While  iberico  is best known for the famous slow-aged hams, the other cuts are succulent, moist & delicious. I made pulled pork from one half. Today I made this from the other half. First I peeled, halved and then sliced 800 g of onions and sweated them in 40 g of butter, turned the heat up a bit and softly fried them for about 40 mins, nicely caramelised and brown. Took out the onions and added some more butter in the pan to sear the meat. Then turned the heat down again and added  sea salt, black pepper, 3 tbsp  Worcestershire  and 6 finely hacked cloves of garlic , 1.2 liter of beef stock , the reserved onions and 2 leaves of laurel . Put the lid on and let it simmer for 3 hours. Then I took out the oni
