Tonight's Dinner complements of Anne's Food Blog

I found Anne's Food blog yesterday and I prepared 3 recipes from it for dinner tonght.  Anne is from Stockholm, Sweden. I really like her recipes' style and the unique search method she has for her recipes. I actually haven't eaten any of these yet, as I will bake the chicken and dress that zucchini, whenever Phil gets back from his parents sometime tonight.   If I cook from here often enough, maybe metric conversion will finally become second-nature.  For now, I use these cooking conversion calculators frequently.

I had 4 boneless chicken thighs that needed to be cooked and a bounty of rhubarb in the garden. Anne's recipe came up when I searched on those 2 ingredients together.

Boneless Chicken Thighs with Rhubarb, cream, chives, sambal oelek (dried chilies).   This picture is before baking.  My rhubarb is mainly green.  It tastes great, but red would be prettier. (Oops, I forgot to add the honey and already poured the liquid over the chicken and rhubarb, so I drizzled a little agave over it since that is not as thick as honey).

Red Potato Salad with yogurt, parsley, coriander, mint, capers, vidalia onion, and celery. (Anne used yellow onion, no celery)
 

Zucchini Ribbon Salad with french tarragon, dijon mustard, red wine vinegar.  This picture is just zucchini with a couple of tarragon leaves, before adding the dressing.


The Mango Chutney Carrot recipe comes from a different website-Taste of Home.  I used half the butter and sliced regular carrots into matchsticks. I didn't have any OJ or oranges, so I added less than a Tbsp of fresh lemon juice. I have also made this with raw shredded carrots with fresh squeezed orange, instead of cooked carrots and it was delicious.  http://www.tasteofhome.com/Recipes/Mango-Chutney-Baby-Carrots.
