Thegreenchilemonster Cooks For Three

Since I recently found out that my wife is pregnant, I'll be cooking for 3

I figured I would share dishes throughout the pregnancy that are focused on providing an expecting mother the nutrients she needs to develop a healthy baby.

All of the meat I cook with will be organic, grass fed, and hormone free. All of the vegetables will be organic, and mostly home grown, until the season ends.

There will of course be chiles used in every meal, as always.

To start things off, last night I made this grass fed organic grilled butterflied leg of lamb, curried chickpeas, and steamed broccoli. Lots of quality folic acid and iron in there.

I marinated the lamb in olive oil, fresh garden rosemary, and a diced aji limo, before grilling it up.

The Mrs. was craving sushi badly, and texted me at work, telling me she needed me to make some. I happily obliged, of course, but asked "Cali or Unagi?". She wanted unagi

Unagi & avocado roll, unagi nigiri, string beans dusted with korean red pepper flakes, and avocado sprinkled with black sesame seeds.

I saw that yesterday, and mistook what turned out to be the neck, for a tail.... was seriously wondering what freak animal this guy was cooking  :rofl:
 
Cracking meals as usual mate. You really do eat like a king!
One of my employees saw that vid, and immediately sent it over to me, telling me I need to try this out one day. If someone gifted me an ostrich carcass I would probably spatchcock it, then put it up on a cross above the coals, to slowly roast.
