chicken, cinnamon, garlic, lemon juice

A great, easy recipe! The cinnamon provides a lovely, subtle variation to standard grilled chicken. For a complete meal, serve as a part of a Greek Feast. Or, serve cold, sliced in half (length-wise) on a sandwich with pesto, grilled zucchini, and cheese.

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 lb organic, free-range chicken
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (or high quality bottled, such as Santa Cruz or Lakewood brands)
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 6 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper

DIRECTIONS

  1. Combine oil through pepper in a 8″ square, glass baking dish.
  2. Remove all fat and membrane from chicken. Cut into tender sized pieces (about 2 inches by 3 inches).
  3. Evenly coat chicken pieces with the marinade in the baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
  4. Let stand at room temperature for 15-30 minutes before grilling.
  5. Grill on medium heat for about 4 minutes on each side, or until golden. Do not overcook.

Tabbouleh

cucumber, feta, garlic, lemon juice, parsley, tabbouleh

This Middle Eastern salad recipe is excellent served with greek dishes and makes a great side for lunch. Since bulgur, also known as cracked wheat, is a whole grain, this recipe is packed with fiber. For a vegan tabbouleh, omit the feta.

Recipe adapted from The Gourmet Cookbook 2004.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup fine bulgur (also called cracked wheat – available in most health food stores in the bulk section)
  • 5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 1/2 bunches fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
  • 1 cup fresh mint, finely chopped
  • 1 seedless cucumber (also called english cucumber), cut into 1/4-inch pieces
  • 5 tbsp lemon juice (high quality such as Lakewood or Santa Cruz, both available at Whole Foods)
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 oz feta, crumbled (omit to make this recipe vegan)
  • 2 medium tomatoes, cut into 1/4-inch pieces (omit when you can’t find high quality, locally produced, in season tomatoes)

DIRECTIONS

  • Stir together bulgur and 2 tbsp oil in a heat-proof bowl. Pour 2 cups of boiling water over bulgar, stir, then cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let stand for 15 minutes.
  • Drain bulgur in a sieve, pressing on it to remove excess liquid. Transfer bulgur to a bowl and toss with remaining 3 tbsp oil and remaining ingredients until well combined.
