Chicken Scarpariello (Braised Chicken With Sausage and Peppers) Recipe, Gluten Free

Chicken scarpariello, the Italian-American dish of chicken braised with sausage and peppers in a sweet-and-sour sauce, is one of those perfect Tuesday-night meals. It's punchy, it's not for the timid, but it's ultimately very easy to make, requiring just a single sauté pan or Dutch oven, about 25 minutes on the stovetop, and a half hour in the oven.

Why It Works

Intensely browning chicken thighs produces flavor for the whole dish.
The liquid from a jar of pickled cherry peppers provides a vinegary base for the pan sauce.
Chicken thighs stay nice and tender while their skin crisps.

Underground Dinner Parties/Chef Dinners

Traveling Dinner Parties or Supper Club or Dinner Club or Sup'clubs or Popups also known as Underground Dinner Parties , whatever you choose to call it, the concept of a chef dinner is actually very simple. A dinner party is put in place at people's homes, private venues, or places of business. Those invited are charged a fee to attend to cover the cost of the chef, servers, food, china/rentals and other incidentals. In our case, the balance of the monies taken in go to the chosen charity or non-profit specified by the host or venue. In many cases, the servers can be volunteers, the china/rentals can either be high-end disposables or the guests bring their own plates and cutlery. Doing this helps with your bottom line and allows more funds for your charity or non-profit. Often, if wine is needed, this could be donated by a winery - with the chef customizing the menu to be paired with the wines of each course. The same can be of spirits. These dinner part

Ripe vs. Unripe Bananas: Which are Better for You?

When it comes to bananas many of us go well … literally “banana’s” for them; after all, they are the nation’s favorite fruit and the original 100-calorie snack! Sometimes we often look at fruit and think “oh, it’s far too ripe” or “oh dang, that fruit is too green!” which is a shame because quite often different stages of a fruits maturity have different benefits. UNRIPE BANANAS Benefits: One benefit of green bananas is the high resistant starch content . For anyone trying to avoid food with high sugar content, green bananas are an option whereas yellow bananas are not. So those suffering from Type 2 Diabetes can eat the unripe fruit while maybe ripened bananas are not as compatible. Unripe bananas also have probiotic bacteria , a friendly bacterium that helps with good colon health. In addition, green bananas also help you absorb nutrients better, particularly calcium . Drawbacks: Because antioxidant levels actually INCREASE as bananas age, unripe bananas are low
