California Farm Harissa Chicken California Farm Harissa Chicken
I made green Harissa lemon pepper sauce to marinade and roast this chicken, it came out delicious. I made the Harissa lemon pepper sauce with green mexican Poblano peppers instead of Green Tunesian Baklouti peppers. Bakloutis are used to make traditional Harissa sauce, they have the same mildness as green Mexican Poblano peppers. I can grow Poblano peppers here. Both rated 1,000 to 5,000 spicyness on the worldwide Scoville pepper heat scale. By flattening the whole chicken, cutting out the backbone with scissors, the chicken marinaded and roasted under an hour. Delicious. Hobby Horseman -

The prime rib roast is the most desirable and tender part of the beef. Called standing rib roast when ribs are attached. The ribs are kept attached to keep the meat juicier when roasting.Rib roasts stay tender when cooked rare or medium rare, and get dry when cooked medium or well done. A ten pound roast yields ten steaks, 1” thick, close to a pound of meat for each steak after the rib bone has been trimmed off. Hobby Horseman
