October 26, 2020 Chicken Thighs and White Beans

 I had a package of chicken thighs in the fridge and figured I should cook them.  I wanted something interesting and relatively easy.  I wanted some beans too!  I know, I know, I think I was a Tuscan in a previous life.  I Love Beans!  And not just for their music!

I was perusing the NYTCooking app, and saw a bean recipe with broccoli rabe from Melissa Clark.  I didn't have any rabe, but I did have escarole.  Bingo!  This made the best beans I have ever done in the Instant pot. Only change I made was to cook under pressure for 30 minutes and allow to release naturally.  Hands Down.  The texture was smooth and luscious, and the addition of carrots and rosemary provided some contrasting flavor and color.  It is a keeper.  The thighs were inspired by this recipe.  Bill does not like mustard, tant pis, but I decided to use my preserved lemon marinade instead of mustard.  I had red cabbage and red onions!  

This was a most satisfying meal.  We were both happy and smiling.  The beans were my fave, where Bill favored the chicken.
