Sunday lunch: Roasted chicken and veggies

Roasted chicken leg and vegetables

Serves 1

**Preheat oven to 425 degrees

Here's what I have:

One chicken leg

To season:

Paprika

ginger powder

pink sea salt

pepper

1 tsp butter cut in half

1 cup of asparagus

1/2 cup potato

1/4 cup onion

1/8 cup sweetie pepper

1 tsp honey

1/4 tsp Minced garlic

To start I combined all of my spices and season the chicken and then set that to the side.

In a cast iron skillet I took half a teaspoon of butter and added the onion and other vegetables. These were cooked for about 5 minutes and then pushed one side of the pan. The remaining butter was then added until melted and the chicken placed on the other side of the pan.

The chicken and vegetables were then cooked for 30 minutes. At the 25-minute Mark add the honey garlic mix to the top of the chicken and let brown. At the end I decided to add some homemade fermented shredded beets.

Bacon butter!

Making: Today I'll be making bacon butter. Whenever I make bacon I save the grease. Now that I have enough it will be turned into batches of bacon butter. I used about 2.75 sticks of butter total. Cut into jars then I let them sit until the butter was close to room temperature. The bacon fat I have collected (Stored in the refrigerator) was heated in bits over a double boiler until liquified but not too hot. The melted bacon fat was poured over the butter. You can use a strainer to get rid of and chunky bits and then mixed until well incorporated. The smaller jars have just over 3 oz butter. The bigger jar has 4.3 oz butter. Here are the finished jars. These will be stored in the fridge and used to cook veggies and sear meats. You could also put herbs in the jar for different flavors. - Kris

I put the asparagus into the steamer basket with them and put the lid back on the pot. I used my cast iron pan, heating it up (high temp) before placing half of the butter into it. Pork chops were cooked in the pan, turned down to medium heat for a total of 8 minutes, 4 minutes for each side. Once they were done I took them out of the pan ...
