I'm a freelance food writer with a penchant for gadgets and more cookbooks than sense. I blog about the results as I push my tiny kitchen to the limits. It's just me, a camera and enough curiosity to keep a blog going for years... My motto is: Real food. Real life. It ain't always pretty. http://christie-corner.blogspot.com/

Alternative to ricer?

I would love to try this recipe but don't have a ricer. Can you suggest an alternative method?

Thanks.

A winner

I made this tonight and my husband loved it. His only complaint was he wanted more of the cilantro sauce. I cooked a bigger than average chicken that took ALL the sauce, so there was nothing left.

Next time, I think I'll try this with chicken thighs to up the ratio of sauce to meat. My butcher sells chicken thighs so big they take about 75 minutes to cook. I think the sauce will have enough time to work it's magic. Do you?
