Posted by realitycooking

eat_more_beef Did you catch The Ultimate Recipe Showdown?  It was all about chicken, stewed, fried and roasted!  The recipes looked great but I wish they’d spent more time showing the actual cooking and less time on everything else. 

The grand prize winner was Amparo Alam with her Rotisserie Chicken, with Fried Yucca Root

The runners up were:

  • Fried Chicken: Eboni Williams
    Battered Chicken Wings with Pomegranate and Mango Barbecue Sauce

  • Soup/Stew: Lauren Wyler
    Chicken, Tasso and Andouille Gumbo

    • Personally, I wanted to taste that African Groundnut stew - that looked mighty tasty!

    Next week it’s all about the burger!

    Ultimate Recipe Showdown: Burgers
    Food Network searched for the Ultimate Burger Recipe. After a nationwide recipe contest, nine finalists competed in three rounds: Beef Burgers, Poultry Burgers and Seafood Burgers. A panel of food experts determined whose burger was the best. See who walks away the winner of $25,000!

      Unfortunately, pomegranates are hard to find in my country, but I would like to try the recipe without them.
