Offroad ride, and cooking dinner (really)

[Pedro]

So, July last year and it's hot in Ribatejo, I didn't feel like going for a long ride so decided to test the R1200 off-road properly. Took the windshield off, and went for a bimble around some of the local sandy dirt roads and farm tracks I had gotten to explore already on the XR.

With the Heidenaus on it's quite a capable bike, although it doesn't like sand nor mud. Between the two I prefer sand, and there is really not much chance of mud in July here.

 

Passing through a local farm with horses, they got scared so I didn't stop next to them.

 

Using my old phone for pictures here, it struggled with light, dark, dust, basically everything

The beast, back home, I love it

 

 

Now for something different, I had company over for dinner, and started to cook early. Hope this isn't too Martha Stewart for you, but a man should cook something. Had some chicken bit marinating on olive oil and spices, and proceeded to put some heat into them.

A couple of onions, thickly cut

 

As soon as the onions soften a bit, throw some white wine and water on it, 

Let it boil for a bit, then close and put heat on minimum

 

After a while, stir it a little, and let it on low heat till it reduces more. About 45 minutes later, job jobbed, enjoy. Boom:

Nice ride but onions with chicken does not compute in my head, i love chicken and i love onions but for some reason eating them together feels like i'll be breaking the law or something

What's Portuguese chicken dish called that you do in a peach and apricot come chutney affair called? Done over a grill it's to die for.

 

No idea what you mean.

 

I don't know what you lot are on about chicken and onions not mixing, almost caramelized onions mix with every kind of meat or vegetable. Anyway, I had no complaints, so there!
