Chicken shawarma

Second, we reduced the amount of cardamom from 1 Tbsp to 1 tsp to avoid any cloying flavor. We also reduced the cayenne from 1 tsp to ½ to ¾… Continue reading Chicken shawarma

Healthier eggplant parmesan
We tried this Cookie & Kate recipe, which uses oven-roasted, non-breaded eggplant slices: https://cookieandkate.com/2017/italian-eggplant-parmesan-recipe/ Our modifications: first, we doubled the amount of sauce because we prefer saucy casseroles. Even so, we almost ran out of sauce for the final layer (we had three layers of eggplant). Second, we did not have a 9x9” baking dish,… Continue reading Healthier eggplant parmesan
Sheet pan coriander chicken with sweet potato, shallot, and bell pepper
We tried this NYT recipe: https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1019161-sheet-pan-chicken-with-sweet-potatoes-and-peppers Our only modification was to place the chicken thighs (skin side up) on a lightly oiled baking sheet first and then surround the thighs with the sweet potato-pepper mixture.

The dish is fine without… Continue reading Sheet pan coriander chicken with sweet potato, shallot, and bell pepper

We tried this recipe: http://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/cauliflower-casserole-with-cheddar Our modifications: first, instead of parboiling the cauliflower florets, we tossed them with a little olive oil and oven-roasted in a baking sheet at 400 for 30 mins (tossing midway).

Oven-baked Jamaican jerk chicken
We tried this recipe, which uses a homemade jerk paste (instead of dry jerk seasoning): https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1014722-no-fuss-jerk-chicken Based on our pantry, we used a mix of skin-on, bone-in thighs and drumsticks instead of chicken quarters (thighs and bones connected).
