I'm smoking a 20lb brisket for a friend's party. When that's finished I'm going to grill 18 bone in, skin on chicken thighs that have been marinating for 24 hours. In the meantime I'm baking some Boston baked beans and I've made Chef Jacobs Asian coleslaw. Then yesterday I baked 2 loaves of Ciabatta bread and 2 dozen Brioche buns. We are also going to have burnt ends and an olive bar with some nice cheese and crackers. Then there will be lots of beer, wine and some spirits.

With a hint of Spring, heading our way, and the Farmers Markets, chockful of gorgeous green stalks of asparagus, sweet peas in pod, long wide green beans, bell peppers in an array of colors, gorgeous juicy red tomatoes on vine ( Iberian year round from Murcia, in Andalusia, on the southeast coast ) and Swiss Chard, here is the recipe we had while visiting my brother in law and his wife, this past week.

HOME MADE SWEET PEAS IN POD SOUP 

2 large leeks sliced to prepare 2 1/4 cups

1 large carrot peeled and diced finely 

6 cups of homemade chicken broth

This dish was given to me by a dear friend who lives in Thesasaloniki Port in northeastern Greece, where it is a Tavern Meze, or appetiser. Over the period of time we have spent in the Mediterranean, it has become a family favorite ... it is sort of a Feta Parmigiana ... I have also baked in oven, and it is absolutely incredible ... So, you can prepare stove top simmered or oven baked as you would an aubergine or eggplant alla parmigiana ... ( Melted cheese on top of an ingredient ).
